The Lions Share.

The old saying of the Lions share, meaning
The better part of anything, all that is valu able
oft, is founded upon the following fable of Phad-
rus, or Esop, we forget which:
"A leopard, lynx, and wolf were ambitious
Of the honor of hunting with the lion. His savage
majesty graciously condescended to their desire,
and it was agreed that they should all have an
equal share in whatever might be taken. They
scour the forest, are unanimous in the pursuit, and
aaer very fine chase, pulled down noble stag
l, was divided with great dexterity by the lynx
into four equal parts; but each was going to
secure his share Hold = said the lion; let no
one presume to serve himself till he hath heard
our Just and reasonable claims; [ seize upon the
first quarter by virtue OF my prerogatve; the Sec
Ond think is due to my superior conduct and
courage; cannot forego the third on account of
the necessities of my den; and if any one is in
clned to dispute my right to the fourth, let him
speak Awed by the majesty of his frown and
the terror of his paws, they silently withdrew, re-
solving never to hunt again but with their equals.
This fable teaches good moral. There are
many lions in the community like the above, but
equalization of power among the masses leaves
Them nothing but the disposition to grasp every
hing; the ability to do it having been taken from
Ehem.

More of the Weather.

The frost which occurred here on Sunday night
has, as we apprehended, caused considerable da-
mage to the crops in the interior. Persons who
have arrived in town since, inform us that on many
corn, twelve inches high, killed to the ground
The injury, however, may not prove 90 extensive
as at first supposed; but we are satisfied large
portion Of the crop will have TO be rcplaned. With
a favorable season and late rosts in the fall, cot
ton planted now will turn out we-the reverse
will bring short crop.-Aa. Tribune, april Is.

every vegetable and onc-half the cotton killed.
The weather of this week, says the Concorda
Mtciiigencer of Saturday. has been smiling and ia
vorable to the young crops. From conversation
with planters from different parts OF this region, we
find that nearly all are satisfied, while many are
delighted with the prospect. The corn Is well up
for the season, and generally healthy. A number
of planting friends have assured us that they never
had finer prospect for corn The cotton crop
