Value of Education.

Once upon a time a crow sat on a
high branch of tree with large bit
of cheese in his mouth when an envi-
GUS and hungry fox came providing
along and spied the choice morsel.
''You are a beautiful bird" said the
cunning fox, ''and yet your great beau
ty is not equal to your marvellous voice,
which charms all Of the beasts of the
forest. Pray, Mrs. Grow, do let me
hear you sing"
The crow turned her head to one
side, as is ti.c~Aabit with such birds,
and looked at Mr.. Fox. Then she de-
liberately ate the cheese and after
clearing her voice spoke.
"Thank you for your compliment,
Mr.. Fox" she said. eff you will wait
a minute, will sing for you. I never
speak or sing until after dinner since
I have been reading ancient fables"
The fox did not wait, but trotted on
his way.
