American Fables.

A Wolf who had a dispute with a
Hyena determined to destroy him, and
therefore went to the Lion for advice.
"Set a trap for him." was the reply,
"and when you have caught him eat
him"
The Wolf went away and laid a snare
beside the path often traversed by his
enemy, but just as he was cackling with
satisfaction he plunged into the the trap
himself and was held fast. In this
emergency along came the Lion, who
called out:
"By George! but what's all this?"
"pm fast in my own trap humbly
replied the Wolf.
HSo I see. [ came out here expecting
to help you eat the Hyena, but as the
case now stands I shall help the Hyena
eat you" :,
"But I set this trap by your advice"
protested the Wolf.
'True you did, and I advised YOU
enemy to set one for you as we'll. ODDS
is the difference to me whether eat
Wolf or Hyena.'

THE ROOM.

The singer sang the world q song.
And soon in every tender heart.
lts melody, so sweet and strong,
Became q dear and lasting part.
buI no one knew, and no one cared,
That from supremest grief and wrong
His breaking heart had learned the notes
That trembled into glorious song.
A woman, who from every cup
Had drunk life's glad and bitter streams,
Sat down and wrote a wondrOus tale,
As sweet and brigh- as fairy dreams.
But no one knew, and no one cared,
From what tumultuous seas of thought
The soul in lonely voy ges
Its parable of life had brought.
The teacher, with q burning heart,
With tongue as swift and hot as fame,
Led with a wise and tender heart
The world unto its highest aim.
But no one asked, and nc one knew.
Through what fierce conflict, day by day, +,
He won the victory which cleared
For weaker hearts the higher way.
For each soul has its inner room,
Where all alone it seeks the grace
10 struggle with its sharpest woe.
Its hardest destiny to face,
To lift the duty that it fears,
To love, to trust, through every doom,
And not the nearest, dearest heart,
Goes with it to that inner room.
It's there that souls learn how to sing;
IT'S there that truest knights are made:
There, with the sharp edge of her sword,
Great sorrow gives the acolade.
From whence they come, with subtle strength,
The weary and the sad to lift;
But who remembers that lone room,
Its strife and doubt, it's grief and gloom.
From which they bring the precious gift?
