THE SPIDERS FAUX PAS.
Deep in the woods, the sun was fast descending,
An aged Spider sat upon his throne
As grand as "Hexes of the East" intending
To mend his net of gossamer,-now torn
Let through prize, which he should oft have taken
Causing his grand throne to be severely shaken.
An humble Spider came-it was his nelghbor--
To hear him pirate about his grand intentions;
"To night" said he, 81 will severely labor
To found State to suit with my pretensions-
To sit here day by day, and only catch fly
Doth wear away my soul, III not trap such 'smary
SHOW then for work, between yon two tall pines
I'll draw nv cables strong from top to top;
NV angles close Ill form by drawing lines,
Then all big flies and hornets will stop;
Once in the confines of my gossamer State,
What power have they themselves to extricate"
His humble neighbor listened lit was now mighty y
Ard tremendously offered suggestion
It was in vain the bigot said, "l'n right,
Your sabor s lost still to debate the question"
The humble Spider was vexed at his presumption
And aptly said, he greatly wanted ''g,unption"
The morning came, the sun was brightly shining
And the vain Spider, all needless of his station,
Upon the ground sat sorrowful and pining,
Where he'd been hurled with due precipitation
What tho his web the fight of hornets hinders,
The birds in passing store 1t all to FINDERS"
Now reader will you ask with strange surprise
Wherein the moral of this story lies?
A question which is plain to every thinker,
Unless in making ''hits'' Pm poor tinker:
Aspire not in youth, nor yet in 'green old age"
TO reach the skies, for ''earth's thy pilgrimage
