THE CHAGRINEn Fny

Mrs Child, ia her "Letters from New
York" vonches for the authenticity of r.he
following curious incident in natural histo,
ry:
He (the narrator) was one day in the
neluS, near a stream where several geese
were swimming. Presently, he observed
one disappeared under the water, with a
sudden jerk. While he looked for her ID
rise again he saw fox emerge from the
water, and trot off to the woods with the IN
fortunate goose in his mouth. He chanced
to goin direction where il was easy far 4
man to watch his movements. He carried
his burden TO recess under an oyerhanginr
rock, He scratched away a mass Of dry
leaves, Scooped hole, hid his treasure with.
IN, and covered up very carefully. Then
on he went to the stream again, entered
some distance behind the flock of geese. and
hoated noiseiessly along, with merely the top
Oh MS nose visible above the surface. But
this time he was not so fortunate in his ma
n9uvers. The geese, by some accident,
took the alarm and few away with loud
cackling. The fox, finding himSelfdefeated,
walked off in the direction opposite 10 the
place where his victim was buried. The
man uncovered the hole, put the goose in
his basket, replaced the leaves carefully, and
stood patiently at distance, to watch fur
ther proceedings. The sly thief was soon
seen returning with another fox, that he had
invited to dine with him. They tro,ted
along right merrily, swinging their tails,
Snuffing the air and smacking their lips, in
anticipation of rich repast. When they
arrived under the rock, Reynard eagerly
scratched away the leaves; but 10, his din
ner had disappeared! He looked at his
companion, and plainly saw by his counte.
nance, that he more than doubted wheth.
er any goose was ever there, as pretended
lie evidently considered his friends hospi-
iality a sham, and himself iDSulred. His
contemptuous expression was more than the
fox could bear. Though conscious of GEN
erous intentions he fel, that all assurance to
Stat effect wJuld b: regarded as lies. Az
pearances were certainly very much against
him; for his tail SUNK between his legs and
he held his head down, looking sideways
with sneering glance at his disappointed
companion. Indignant at wha: he suppo-
sed to be an attempt to get up his character
Tor generosity on false rretences, the offended
guest seized his unfortunate host, and cutfed
him most numerically. Poor Reynard
bore the infliction with the utmost patience
and sneaked off, as If conscious that he had
received no more than might be mutually
expected under the circumstances"
