A FABLE FOR SrRoNG-N1NDED WowEN-The
following beautiful fable will attract attention by the
truthful lesson it imparts:
"Oak, said the vine, "bend your trunk so that
you may be a support to me-"
MY support" replied the oak, "is naturally
yours, and you may depend on my strength to bear
you up, but I am too solid to bend Put your
arms around me, my pretty vine, and l will man.
fully support and cherish you if you have ambition
to climb as high as the clouds. While l thus hold
you up, you will ornament my rough trunk with
your pretty green leaves and scarlet berries. They
will be as frontlets to my head, as stand in the
forest like glorious warrior with all his plumes.
We were made by the great Master to grow to-
gether, and that by our union the weak may be
made strong and the strong render aid to the
weak"
But wish to grow independently" said the
vine, "why cannot you twine around me, and let
me grow up straight, and not be mere dependent
upon your"
"Nature," answered the oak, "did not design
it. 1t is impossible that you should grow to any
height alone, and if you try it, the winds and rains,
if not your own weight, will bring you to the
ground. Neither is it proper for you to run your
arms hither and thither among the trees; they will
say it is not my vine, it is stranger, get the
gone: will not cherish thee. BY this time thou
wilt be so entangled among the different branches
that thou canst get back to the oak and nobody
will admire thee or pity thee"
"Ah mel" said the vine, let me escape from
such destiny - and with this she twined herself
around the oak, and both grew and Aourished
happily together" :
