a CHINESE STORY,

In Nohroan's reign It's told
ucw certain person sold
To another for fair pay
A good piece Of land. One day
Afterward the buyer found,
While a-plowing up his ground,
Buried snugly under earth,
Gold and gems Of muckle worth.
In a casket stout they lay,
Locked from worm and ruet away.
Never plow before, | wis,
Turned up aught so choice us this;
Never plower OF such prize
Scanned il with so honest eyes!
Did our finder gloat by stealth
Ger his unexpected wealth?
And in worthy hiding.place
Hoard as heirloom for his race?
Did he sell lt--llker yet
For the best price he could getty
Rather, straightway hurried he
with ii 10 the seller. See,
Bring thee this treasure fine,
Digged up yonder; take, It's thine"
But the latter answered: No;
When we traded so and so,
TO thee the whole field sold
With whatever IL might hold"
Not ct all" contends the other,
bought but the soil, my brother:
WHAT'S beneath, fool could see,
Must of right belong to thee
Thus both argued pro and con
To no purpose; whereupoa,
To the Emperor, rs befitted,
They the case, at length submitted
Who, In his judicial pleasure,
Hit upon the following measure:
Let the son and daughter twain
o. these rarely ylrtuous men
Each to other welded be,
Aud the treasure theirs, Quoth he.
Which device, the story goes,
brought their quarrel to close.
Adding, in sequel sly,
This quaint touch OF poetry:
FOLK declared the purchased field
pa that year at harvest yield
Mammoth ears OF corn, the which
sun IN cabinets Of the rich
Eor their bigncss cherished be-
Miracles Of husbandry;
Nature plainly wanting share
Is so generous an affair.
