The rabbit has uo such power to listen

Now, many people spend half their
time in hunting lies. You see a man
rushing anxiously about to correct a
newspaper paragraph, or husband, with
clenched fists, on the way to pound some
one who has told false thing about his
wife. There is a woman on the next
street who heard, last Monday, a false
hood about her husband and has had her
hat and shawl on ever since, in the effort
to correct wrong impressions. Our OBJ
iect in this geological sketch of a ie is to
pursuade you Of the folly Of such hunt
ing excursion. If these monsters have
such long legs, and go hundred miles at
a jump, you might as well give up the
chase. If they have such keenness Of
nostril, they can smell YOU across the
state, and get out Of YOnr way, IL they
have such long cars, they can hear the
hunters first step in the woods. ii they
have such great thr0ats, they can swallow
YOU at a cape. II they are gregarious,
while YOU shoot one, forty will ran upon
you ike mad butIaloe-, and trample you
to death Better 20 to your work, and
let the lie. run. Their bloody mazzIes
have tough work with il man usclully
busy. You cannot 80 easily overcome
them with sharp retort a> with ad4e and
yard-sliek. All the howling~ Of CaIifor.
