Fable Showing Wisdom OF Silence
Concerning Some Things.
Once upon a time there came into the
city from the country a girl. The girl
wandered from her happy home to Sc
cure employment among the wealthy
families of the city, and when she
made known the fact that she was
willing to work many persons sought
her and implored her to engage with
them In domestic pursuits. The girl
was overwhelmed with offers, but final
" made q selection and settled in o
family that valued her services very
highly. The girl was happy until one
day her employer met q neighbor, a
very dear friend, and told her Of her
GOOD fortune in finding the country
girl. And this neighbor met another
very dear friend and told her Of her
other friends good luck, and thus did
it become generally known that there
was q good "hired girl" in the neigh
borhood.
And from that time on the mistress
and the girl were unhappy until one
day the very dear friend gave the girl
S1.5O more q week than she was earn
ing in her first place, and IN this man
ner did the girl become happy again,
while her mistress and the very dear
friend ceased to be on speaking terms.
And then the girl became unhappy
again until the other very dear friend
engaged her at an advance Of 81, and
the other dear friend and the first dear
friend ceased to talk over the back
fence. And then the good girl wore
fine dresses and fine hats. and one day
q dashing young man led her to the
altar, and now the three friends and
the poor country girl are all very
happy.
