One of them, oal- led “The Wicked Neighbor,” runs ns follows : Once fchoro was a good old man Tio Hio, his name was. He was a gracious and most excellent listen er. Ho had also a good old wife, but no children, which made him very unhappy. So he burnt a prayer on the finest good paper before his household gods, that something night bo given to'him to compensate for the emptiness of his house -in which no children bowed 4own be fore him in veneration, and tho next day his prayer was answered. A dog scratched at ‘ the door of his hou8o—a dog in whose eyes burnt a palei blue flamo, mild and reassuring —so that the old tnan know, when he looked into his eyes, that a good spirit resided in tho dog’s body. So the old man and his old wife wel comed him; but tho wicked neighbor wot his finger and pierced tho pa per wall of the abode of tho good old man, and peeped in through tho hole md cast an envious eye upon the dog, and hated his neighbor tliut so good a thing hud befallen him. Now the old umu was very poor, and had but a very little rice to eat every day. So the dog set about making him more comfortable, lie barked aud fawned-, upon . the old man until he followed him into the wood, nnd there ho scratched and whined until the cld man began to dig. When he had dug a little lie found money in a porcelain jar, and, overjoyed, took it home to iiis wife. Now they should no longer need any* thing. But the wicked neighbor had watched'the good old man, and found out what tho dog was able to do, and put his eye to the hole ho had pierced in the paper wall and saw tho money counted. So thereupon he went, next day, humbly and deceitfully, and begged his neighbor to lend him tho dog to keep away thipvus, whom he dread ed. The good old man at onco gran ted his request, and tho wicked neighbor took the dog away. But when he was oat of hearing, bo said : “Come now; I know you are a spirit, and no dog. I know you, showed my neighbor where to find treasure. Show mo also, or i! will kill yon.” So the dog led him into tho woods and pointed out u spot; but though lie dug all day, bo found nothing but stones. Thou ho glow so angry that ho killed the dog, and buriod him under a tree. That night tho good old man came to his bad neighbor’s house and ask ed lor Ins dog. “He bit me, so I killed him,” .■raid tlie neighbor. The old man wept. “But if he bit you, it was just the dog whom ho loved, and in whoso breast a good spirit dwelt. And-when it was finished, there was a small piece of tho trunk loft; and of this ho made a mortar, in whioh to pound his rice. But tho first day he used it, ho’found that all the rioe ho pounded' turned to gold. Now once again the wicked neigh* bor listeuod and peeped, and found tho secret of tho magio mortar. Therefore ho came to tho door next day humbly and deceitfully, and said : “Good neighbor, I havo broken my mortar, and can pound no rico for my children. Loud me yours, I pray.” So tho good old man lont tho mor ter, and tho wicked neighbor took it homo and began to pound, but no gold camo under his pestle. In stead, the rice turned to snails and other hideous things, which crept oat of the mortar over his hands. And again ho was furious, and broke the tnortor and burnt it to ashes. And it the night the good old man came once more to ask for what he had loaned. “It broke; so I burnt it,” said the wioked neighbor. “An accidentia no man’s fault,” said tho good old tnan. “But give tne, I pray, the ashes of my mortar for I valuod it.” “They lie there on tho stone,” said tho wioked neighbor. So tho good old man gathered them up and wont home, and put them into a porcelain jmv *ud-*sa1il: “I will keep them all my life.” But as ho slept that night a sound awakened him, and at his foot ho saw a spirit standing. By tho blue, calm light m its oyes, ho knew it was the good spirit that had lived iu tho body of his devoted dog. Now it was fair and beautiful with almond oyes and a dross of gold and crimson, and it had u long pig tail and u large fan; also, a sword. “Do not fear, best of good old moil,” he said. “I am coino to give you advice. Know thut you may become groat in tho laud. Tho ashes iu that jar will cause leaves to grow and blossoms to start on troos that have been dead for years. Now, in tho Daimio’s garden stand throo trees, whioET have been dead a long while. The Daimio loves them more than his Ir’fe, but no grirdennor can make thorn bloom again. To morrow, when the Daimio’s proces sion pusses, arid those, who run be fore call out, ‘kneel ! kneel ! kneel 1’ stand you at the door of your homo and call out j ‘I do not knooll’ Then they-will ask you why; und you must answer : ‘Do who can re store bud aud leaf, bloom und blos som to the dead trees in tho Daimio’s garden tho Daimio will not require to kneel.’ “Then tho Daimio will bid you prove your power, and you must take the ashes in tho jar and go to tho Daimio’s garden and sprinkle tho boughs of the dead trees with thorn TJ>cn sec what shall be seen.” Thereupon the spirit vanished, but the old man slept. But in the morning all camo to pass as tho spirit had said. And when the Dai tnio’s attendants saw that ho did not kneel and asked the question, the Daimio, hearing the answer, cried: “Provo him !” So they took him to where tho ilircc trees stood, dead and dry, and said : “Provo your power, or die !” Then the good old man cast ashes over his head, and thu bare, black branches grew greon with buds, and the blossoms Jut rig sweet ly from them, tempting tho bees; mid tho Daimio was overjoyod, mid guv# presents to the old nmn, aud • habitation near bis paiaot an 1 ser vants, and rich olothes. But still tho wioked' noigbor watched and ot.viod, and now hopluokod tho good man by tho sleeve. “Givo mo, I pray you, one hand ful of thoso magio ashes,” ho said. ‘Tho two beray bushes .in my gar- don are doad, and my children cry for fruit.” So tho kind old man gavo a full handful of tho ashes to this wioked neighbor, who at onco wont to tho Daimio.
