The Peasant and his Garden

A Russian Fable From the French Of Chasseurl
A silly Peasant, who possessed
A garden which he titled and dressed
With so much care it grew to be
A S fine as one could wish 10 see,
And passing rich in flowers and fruits,
hcr. and wholesome
roots,
And many plant OF sovereign use
In yirtle of its healing juice,
At last bethought him to select
\ proper warden 10 protect
This very charming bit of ground
For did not thievish birds abound
Who OFT despite the owners care
Had left his currant- bushes bare?
And ate his cherries ere the time
4 hat they had reached their perfect
prime?
Atlcnglh- but more by luck than wit
Y pom the ASS The Peasan. hit
Ills gardens eyerseer 10 be;
/" or who Of all the beasts quoth he,
. Is half so honest? Then, his voice
Confirms The wisdom OF my choice;
For such q harsh. terrific bray
VIII surely scare the birds away
20 said, 80 done an Ass was found.
: Aud made the keeper of the ground.
4 Ala.. but III Tie garden iared;
Though not iealhcred yagrant dared
Approach the place within mile:
The Keepers clumsy feet The while
Made fearful havoc with the ground,
And soon the angry owner found
Not all the birds OF all the land,
Joined in predatory band,
lOnc-half the damage could have wrough
4 hat he-the Ass r for want of thought
Had done by trampling everywhere
\ I he land committed to lis care,
Till scarce flower or plant was left
Worth saving from chance of tneit.
Il MORAL.
IThoagh honesty is fairly worth
More praise than all the skill on earth,
some officers my tale explains
Require, besides, share of brains.

OVER-PRODUCTIONS.
A Grccian Fable and its Appli.

Ea Editor in Philadelphia Enquirer.
"You have over-produced," say GER
tain gentlemen of the old school.
"0ver- produced some poor man
answers. "What does that mean 2"
"Why il means that You have built
too many houses. raised too much corn
and wheat, made too much cloth, raised
and made, in fact too much Of every
thing. In one word, you have been too
industrious.
"Curious. is it not?" the poor man re
piles. "We havc built so many houses
that we have none to live in at least.
we fear we shall be turned out OF them
for inability to pay the rend. We have
raised 20 much corn and wheat thai we
have nothing to cat We have made so
many clothes that we have nothing TO
wear; so many shoes that we shall have
to 90 barefoot. We have been too in
dusirious. and the penalty is that we
must be put on short allowance.
Men and brethren, is il not curou:
any sane man can find fault with mer
for being too industrious, and thus pro.
ducing too much?

duction is. in one word, wealth The
wealth Of country consists in the eN
Iccss Of production beyond its immedi

Is wealth a bad thing? Certainly n,

Ishould ii be bad for a Nation?
Suppose we were 70 come across
