JOHNNY ON BULLFROGS.

The bullfrog is large, green and
warty. He can jump several times his
own length. His voice is loud, but not
pleasing. The. bull-frog is shy and
diffident. He builds his nest in damp,
swampy places where it is difficult to
track him. At the slightest alarm he
utters a low, plaintive note and i'm.
mediately seeks refuge in the water.
He is good diver. and can swim like
a fish, except that he does not wiggle,
but kicks. There was frog once that
blowed himself full of air until he
busted like paper sack. This shows
the folly of vanity and self-conceit. .,
my friends, let US endeavor not to act
in that manner, but to be good and
truthful. Let US remember that life is
short, and that we must always be up
and doing. Some people like bullfrogs
to eat, but would rather have pie.

Despite all this, private houses
were closed to him by the aristo-

denied him social recognition.
Even his confidential advisers re-
gardcd him aS II gulliblc victim,
and were foremost in advancing
