with number of stolen horses in their pos
session. The settlers gave them fair trial,
and, finding them guilty beyond doubt,

A fable is told in Egypt of an old man who
had nice little garden ofleeks. But he was
discontinued at having to toll for his daily
bread. His good genius came to his aid, and
made him.owner Of a villa with two slaves
to wait on him. He was delighted with the
gift, and promised to wish for nothing more.
But it was not long before he coveted the
neighboring garden, with its statues and
fountains. The garden was given to him.
He then took fancy to the meadow beyond.
The meadow was given him then he wanted
the park on the further side of it. The park
was bestowed on him, and then like Ahab,
he wanted to rob poor man of his little
vineyard. Open the door to discomfort, and
you don't know how many bad wishes will
follow. Rather ''be content with such things
as you have" and you will be happy, even ii
