FABLES for the FANCIFUL.

THE SPARROW AND THE GOLDFINCH.
Ono day, while In my garden-chair I sat,
Two plumy people joined in friendly chat.
The facts were these, as far as I could see,
A goldfinch perched upon my cherry-tree;
Soon after which, a lowly sparrow came,
Presuming he'd a right to do the same,
And having neared his neighbour, inch by inch,
" Chip," said the sparrow, " Twittle," said the finch.
A pause ensued, as oft it does with us,
,B I oftenutsoo ndnwthoesper, sir,arrowbnrdoeteed tllideo,silence thus :
,
much
engage,
I've than you ;
considered as
nos so
t endeavourl ered worth a cage 1
7n, be never vyai d ni
o v
beenew ed
But as for you, wherever you may fly,
Mankind regards you with a curious eye.
Pray what's the reason you are valued so,
Is it your song, or what, I wish to know ?"
" Nay." said the well-dressed goldfinch, " I presume,
'Tis not my song, but my superior plume ;
'Tis true, my friend, I've learned to sing a little,
But scarcely any more than twittle, twittle.'
You may depend, Sir, 'Us the way I'm decked—
Respectable appearance gains respect ;
Look at my golden wings, my scarlet cap,
You see Pm quite a gentlemanly chap;
If you could wear my coat you'd shortly know
To what extent appearances will go."
Mere ceased the entertaining conversation,
While I myself supplied
THE APPLICATIDN.
Since personal appearance goes so far,
I'll more than ever prove what Moses are.
Moses and Son's famed Mart is just the place
To furnish fashions of superior grace ;
The fit of Moses, true to half-an-inch,
Will prove the language of the golden-finch.
Whoever may in Moses' dress be decked,
Will meet with honour and with due respect ;
. And this assertion nobody will mock,
On viewing Messrs. Moses' summer stock;
And thus concludes my unassuming fable,
Which I've improved as well as I was able.

" The operation of introducing a catheter through an impermeable

surgical operations, and demands all the prudence, science, and skill
