who has never learned grammer, or has permitted
himself to write without revision. You must, in

press; where you cannot make out exactly what
he intended to write, guess at IT, and let your
readers have the beneh: of your guessing.
To read newspapers for pastime is a very pleas

THE RABBIT IN THE MOON.
AN STORY.

The Hindontauee believe that they can see a
present the moon, paint in its centre a rabbit
pounding nce. This singular belief recalls a GU
rious and touching legend, which in early times
passed from India to China. There is near Bena-
res a forest, in the middle OF which is q religious
monument, called that of the Three Quadrupeds.
The following story explains to Ne the cause of it's
cons ecration -
Three animals, q fox, a monkey, and a rabbit,
lived most friendly together in Mat forest. One
day the master OF the gods. under the garb of q
poor old man, appeared before them, and thus ad-
dressed them
my children, do you love this calm, retired
place? Do you never feel afraid Z"
The thick grass is our carpet" they answered,
1--WE walk through the shady forest, and though
of different families, we live in harmony. We are
peaceful and happy"
II heard of it, said the old man and there
fore forgetting the burden of my age, came from
= very great distance expressly to see you. But
to-day l suffer greatly from hunger. Could you
give me something to eat ?"
AT once the three quadyupeds, moved with com.
passion and love, leaped away in three different
directions to seek for the desired food. After gal
Looping by the rivers brink, the fox seized a %silyery
carp, fresh and dripping, and brought it between
his teeth. The monkey climbed the highest trees
and descended with the most exquisite flowers, anc
the most lucious fruits. The rabbit alone return
ed as he had gone away, and had nothing to ohel
the old man. The latter said, with sadness,
"The monkey and the fox have had pity upoT
me. Why has the rabbit despised mef"
On hearing these words of reproach, the rabbi
said TO the monkey and the fox.
"My friends, make here a pile of wood and dea'
leaves, and you will soon know what | think"
When they had finished the heap of wood an
leaves, the rabbit set it on fire, and then said;
"Good old man, l am little and feeble. | hav
looked every where, and ] found nothing worthy t
bring to you. But dare offer my humble bod
for your rcpast."
At these words he jumped into the fire, and Their
met his death.
The god then appeared under HE real features
gathered up the bones of the poor little rabbit, an
after a painful sigh, said to the fox and the nor
key, u am deeply touched by this sacrifice an
as a reward, l shall place the rabbit in the centr
OF the moon, in order that his memury may neVe
rerish,"

PROPER VIEW OF Docs.-The dogs in q family
are a study. We cannot help comparing their con-
duct with human D. ings-thinking of them as
such, in fact, uncOhsciously, if not loving them as
we'll. With open doors and gates to 60 away if
they please, they stay with US, and take that treat
ment we choose to give them-invited indoors, or
left in the cold-fed with what lie left of our table,
or, perhaps, carelessly forgOtten--worked or play
ed with-nOticed in return for an expression Of
JOY, or, perhaps, beaten back and neglected. They
watch for US by night, give us a bouDtiful welcome
when we return after absence, are happy at being
let stay with US without talking to, and are de.
lighted to go and come with US, asking no ques.
tions, and following whittier we please--faithful tc
death, we are perfectly sure, as if shat were a mat
ter of course! All, me 1t is a world of more OIL
less love to us, as Fate pleases-bui q man throw
