THE WOLF AND THE HARE.-A
81 FABLE. .s

One day as a. hare was pursuing bel
way throughthe forest, she was over
taken by volt, who had no sooner
come in sight than he called out:
"By what right do you walk in this
pathw
II thought it was a public highway
humbly replied the hare.
"supposeit ISL Youare nothing but a
hare, while ! am wolf. Itisyour bnsi-
ness to follow on behind me if you want
to 60 my way. How itlooks to see abig
strong wolf following a weak and cow
ardly harelike yon,"
''Very well" answered the hare, who
dared not dispute for fearlof being still
worse used.
The wolfwas in no hurry. Indeed, he
did not care to travel that way at all ex-
cept to humiliate his weaker neighbor.
As he passed along at slow gait he
looked over his shoulder and observed:
Don't keep SO near me. If we meet
anybody don't care to have them think
we are travelingin company. 1t is only
an act Of condescension that ! allow You
to travel this path at all.n
The hare fell back a few feet further,
feeling that any dispute would result to
the advantage of the wolf. They had
not proceeded far when the wolf sud
denly uttered howl Of surprise and
pain, and as the hare came up he was
rolling over the ground with his fore
feet fast in trap.
fHelp! helpw
"But l am nothing but hare" re-
piled the other. Elbow would it look to
see weak and cowsrdly hare rushing
to the assistance of big, strong wolf :"
II shall be held here until the hunter
comes to Knock me on the head !" moan
ed the Wolf.
eff you had permitted me to 60 on
my way in peace ! should have been
first at the trap" answered the hare.
Eyes, but please do something for mes''
"I'll be glad to, small and weak as
am; but anybody should come along l
don't care to have them think we are
travelling in company. Tra-la, Mr..
Wolf"
Moral: There is never safe time to
put on airs. The man you kick to-day
may drive a grocer's delivery wagon to-
morrow.-M. Quad.

IN THE AUSTRALIAN RUSH.

! was terribly frightened one night in
Queensland by dead man riding up to
my campfire at midnight. Twas quite
alone. | heard my horses neighing and
another answering in the Malgas bushes,
50 / got up and put wood on, making q
bright blaze, and presently into the cir,
Gle Of light came horseman bending
over his pommel, with his large straw
hat slouched over his eyes. ! took my
revolver off my saddle and sung out:
Goodnight, mate You travel late.
Will you have a drink of tea!" 8s
Not word of answer. just then my
two dogs, who were shifting about, set
up such terrible cry it made me Jump
again. After bit l began to open my
eyes to the state Of affairs and mustered
courage enough to walk up to the horse
and take hold of the reins. While doing
so touched the riders hands, which
were cold as ice. Tried TO get him off
the saddle, but it was of no use. His legs
were out of the. irons and wound tightly
round the mare. l had to cut the reins
from the grip of his fingers. l packed
him on the horse when sunrise came and
led him into Tambo, where / found he
was well known as digger. He,had set
out thence that morning-after drinking
nearly a bottle of brandy--to 60 to
place distant about forty miles, and I
was only twelve miles from the township
when he paid his ill-yisit. Thele was no
doctor within 200 miles at that time.
However, they held a kind ofinqaest, at
which the z. NJ. talked learnedly of
muscular contraction and sunstroke,
and was puzzled to decide whether the
brandy had anything to do with it, as
he could swear, from his own experience,
that the liquor was frst-class. He prais-
ed me more than | deserved, for had
half a mind to run away at first When
| am camped outeven now ,alone, strange
thoughts of that nocturnal horseman
come into into my head. If any one had
told such q story to me | should hardly
have credited it. mean that man
should stick to his horse in that way
without any other help than his saddle
straps afforded. His little mare was
very quiet, though, and evidently at
tracted by the sound Of my horse bells.

WHERE is SHE

The Vicksburs Commercial of Mon
day, says: A very mysterious and dis
tressing disappearance OF a young lady
from Madison county, has recently come
to light. 1t appears that Miss Monnie
Richards, residing with her parents at
the village of Sharon, visited some
friends in Natchez last December. On
the eleventh day OF March she took pas
sage Oh the steamer j. NJ. White, and
the next day, the twelfth, arrived at this
city. She entered a carriage at the
wharfboat landing and from that mo-
ment she has been as completely lost as
though the earth lead opened and swal-
lowed her. Miss Richards is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. William Richards, of Sharon,
is lady of fine intelligence and the
highest responsibility.

eventful one, and was characterized by

gifted with certain suavity of manner
which added greatly to his personal
popularity with men and success in win
