A STORY WITH AN APPLICATION.

In tho good old times, as most men view it
Though could meier see how they do it
When wisdom begged at riches gate,
And hardly then got what she ate,
A certain king kept at his court
A phiosoph 10 aid his sport,
And, when he would a-huniing go,
To tell him if twould rain or no.
One day, with promise of fine weather,
The king and court ride out togher,
With knights and ladies-a gay band
And each with hooded hawk on hand.
BY chance they met county John,
Riding dapplcd ass upon,
Who warned them, by his donkey's ears,
Twas going TO rain but the ready jeers
OF tn eager hunters cried him down;
"a sage is wiser than clown l'
But hardly had they reached the wood
When all were drenched by the mourning food
The King rode back, with wra,hful look,
Till he the countryman o'erlook,
And, learning the wisdom of the ass,
Whose ears foretold what came to BASS,
Turned the philosopher out in disgrace,
And put tn intellectual ass in his place.
MORAL.
Could he have known the fruits of his deed,
OF so rash an act he'd have taken heed
The result of his making high place n scolf is
Every ass in creation is seeking for office.
