in very special cases, my partners or

precaution there is danger from the

POETRY.
The Quarrel Of the Wheels.

l sat within my wagon on heated summer
day,
And watched my horses finging feet deyour
the dusty way;
When suddenly voice below shrieked out,
it seemed to me-
s'You're bigger, but you cannot go one-half
SO fast as we,"
looked around, but no one tbe..s my strain
ing vision caught;
Ne were ALONG pp.son the road; l must have
dressmed, | thought,
1heen almost at my feet l heard, distinct, a
voices sound:
"Youll never overtake us, though you twice
go DER the ground"'
1t puzzled me at first, but soon the fact upon
me broke;
The fore-wheels of the wagon had thus 10
the hind wheels spoke.
listened for the answer, and it came in &C
cents low:
s.You're no further now before us than you
were an hour ago."
l waited the rejoinder, but no further answer
The fore neels were too busy and the hind
wheels were the same;
And. though strained my hearing much, de-
pressing well my head,
By fore wheels or by hind wheels not another
word was said.
The matter set me thinking how in life one
often knows
Of hitter controversies with the words absurd
as those; :,
How many claim as merit what is after all
but fate,
With success tnat others make Ior lhem eA-
ultiDgy elate.
Your wise and mighty Statesman, just before
his fellow set,
Strives, rs fore>wbeel in the wagon, 1urtner
from the hind to get;
Rolls along in his complaceace, as he THINKS,
to name and fame,
To find, the journey ended, his position, just
the same.
The patient teller struggles, but 90 inch be-
yond is gained;
And be gruubles that, despite him. one posi-
ton is maintained,
Not rejecting that the Owner, who can ev>
erything control,
Ba lie him ever as the hindmost for fitting
purpose roll
Sill speeds along the wagon DER the steady
roadway drawn,
Till ends the weary journey, AID the light Oh
day has gone;
And all the rivalries of men, the quiet think
er feels,
Are IDLE as the quarrels of the fore and hind
er wheels. IN. Y. Ledger.
