A BATCH OF FABLES, Sail! to be From the Persian, by Ambrose Pierce. “There now,” said a kitten, trium phantly, laying a passive mouse at the feet of her mother, “I flatter myself 1 am coming on with a very reasonable degree of rapidity. What will become of the minor quadrupeds when I have attained my full strength and ferocity, it is mournful to conjecture!” “Did he give you much trouble?' inquired the aged ornament of the hearth side with tender solicitude. “Trouble!” eclvjyd the kitten,“I nev er had such a fight in my life. He was a down right savage—in his day.” “My Falstaffin issue ” rejoined the Tabby, dropping her eyelids and com posing her head for a quiet sleep, "tin- above is a toy mouse." “What have you there on your back?” said a zebra, j&ringly, to a “ship of the desert,” in ballast. “Only a bale of eridirons,” was the meek reply. "And what, pray, may you design doing with them? ’ “What am I to do with gridirons?” repeated the camel, contemptuously. “Nice question fer you, who have evi dently just come off one.” People who throw stones should not live in glass houses, but there ought tc- be a few in the vicinity. A man was plucking a live goose. When his victim addressed him thus: .‘‘Suppose you were a goose; do you think you would relish this sort of thing 2 ” ••Well, suppose I were,” answered the man, ‘‘do you think you would likt to pluck me?” "Indeed, I would,” was the em phatic, natural, but rather injudicious reply. "Just so,” replied her tormenter. "that’s just the way I feel about tin matter myself.” A sheep, making a long journey, found the heat of his fleece very un comfortable, and, seeing a flock o' other sheep in a fold, evidently waitine for some one, leaped over and jomec them, in the hope of being shorn Perceiving the shepherd approaching and the other sheep huddling into a remote corner of the fold he should ered his way forward, and going up to the shephered said: “Did you ever see such a lot of fools? It’s lucky I came along to set them an example of docility. Seeing me oper ated upon, they’ll be glad to offei - themselves.” “Perhaps so,” replied the shepherd, laying hold of the animal’s horns. • bu- 1 never kill more than one sheep at a time. Mutton won’t keep inhotweath er.” An old fox and her two cubs wcr. pursued by dugs, when one of the cubs got a thorn in his foot and could in t go any further. Setting the other 10 watch for ihe pursuers, the mothei proceeded, with much tender solici tude, to extract the thorn. Just a she had done so the sentinel gave the alarm. “How near are they?” asked the. mother. “t lose by, in the next field,” was the answer. “The deuce tliev are,” was the re joinder. •However, I presume they will be content with a single fox.’ And shoving the thorn earnestly back into the wounded foot, this ex cellent parent took to her heels. l'his fable proves that humanity does not happen to enjoy a monopoly of parental affection. — — — A man’s occupation or condition has a good deal to do with making his facial expression. Intellectual pursuits, like the studies of the schol arly professions, when coupled with temperate and moral habits of life, brigh iten the face and give the person a superior look. Magnanimity of na ture, or love of study and art, will make a bright, glad face; but con trary to this a man may have a facej a that does not please any body, because ; of a love of self to the exclusion &' all others, notwithstanding his learn-"** ing and wordly shrewdness. Soldiers get a hard, severe look; overworked laborers constantly look tired; report ers look inquisitive; mathematicians look studious; judges become grave, even when ofl the bench; the man who has had domestic trouble looks all broken up. ' An example of the ludicrous side of this subject is to see a third class law yer stalking around a police court looking os wise as an owl. The busi ness makes the face, I say. There’s the butcher’s face, the ministerial ,5 face, the lawyer’s face, the doctor’s face, the hoodlum’s face, all so dis tinct each from the other and singly that I seldom fail to recognize those callings showing through the faces.
