OVER CAUTIOUS. Once on time
there were two brothers. One was
called Prometheus, because he always
looked forward and boosted that he
was wise. The other was called
Epimetheus, because he looked back
ward and did not boast at all; but
said, humbly, quoting the Irishman, that
he preferred prophesy after the event.
There came to the two brothers most
beautiful creature that ever was seen,
Pandora by name. But because she had
strange package in her hand, this fan
clful, suspicious, prudential, theoretical,
deductive, prophesying Prometheus would
have nothing to do with pretty Pandora
and her package. But Epimetheus took
her and married her, for better or for
worse, as every man should whenever he
has chance for good wife, Imagine
the delight it afforded Epimetheus when
he opened the package and found that it
was box of Poujade's cigars, with an
order for several plugs of choice tobacco,
and some fine coffee. So Epimethus got
the two best things in the world, while
old Prometheus had to be chained to the
top of a mountain with vulture by him
to give him peck whenever he stirred,
lest he should turn the world upside down
with his prophesies and theories.
