FABLE Nv.
THE CARP AND HER YOUNG.

TAKE care, my little ones, take care
Beware the rivers bank" she said,
The treach'rous hook is lurking there;
The hawk is hov'ring in the air;
Keep ever to the rivers bed
Thus midst the waters of the Seine,
The carp once plead yet plead in vain,
With her young fry.
Twas April; and through all the sky,
The warm and moisty zephyrs flew,
To wake the mountains from their dreams
And fill again the languid streams
Which overfow'd the country through.
Oh then to see
The revery
OF the young fry,
AS brisk and spry,
They darted through the swollen flood!
Where's now your fear,
My mother dear?
There's nothing here but good.
The flood is to deluge grown
The whole world now is overflown,
And it's dominion is our own.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-17

Let's leave the question to three men;
For here they come" exclaimed the horse;
If two decide for one, why then
Well yield the palm to him of course"
The OK, who bore an honest face,
Was charged to plainly state the case,
And ask for judgment thereupon
One of the men jockey was
And therefore plead the horses cause
Because the horse could run.
Nay, nay, my friend, it is not so,"
One of the men-a cartman-said,
"The horse is only fit for show;
put the useful ass ahead"
oh, what great folly!'' said the third,
who ever falser notions heard?
'Tis plain to farmers of good sense
The OK should have the preference"
WHAT said the courser in a huff,
Judgment like this is merest stuff!
'Tis interest that rules with you"
''Pooh!" said the jockey, that is true :
But is it something strange or new?"
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-17

What is the need, midst such sea,
In fear of hooks or hawks to be?"
Thus said the young fry in their glee.
mo, no." the mother straight replies,
This flood is but moments rise;
Your only safety, as I've said,
Is not to leave the rivers bed"
"Oh pish!"
Exclaimed the mad young fish,
you weak old carp!
You always on that one string harp!
We are resolv'd to leave the Seine,
And enter ON our new domain"
So saying, off the young ones go,
Exulting in the overflow.
We need not on their journey dwell,
For soon the risen waters fell:
The carplings, caught in shallow pools,
The fools!
Were hurried to the frying pan.
Now let him tell me, he who can
Why did these carplings disobey,
And from the river stroll away?
Was it because they thought they knew
Their mothers counses were not true?
Or vast they wanted something new?
Or did they think that,-Ah my friend!
To such inquiries where's the end?
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-17

Says TRUTH, 81 find I'm here to freeze,
For all l meet upon the road,
Deny me shelter or abode.
I'm shun'd as if in fear or hate;
But that, alas! must be the fate
Of DANES, like me, when out of date"
Not So" says FABLE in reply,
For you are younger still than 1
And yet, if / may be believd,
I'm ev'ry where still well receiv'd.
But, let me ask why 'tis that you
Expose your nakedness to view?
That's not discreet. Now list to me;
Since well our int'rests do agree;
Let my broad mantle drape your form:
Twill serve to shelter both from harm.
Among the wise, for your sake,
All will my foolish saying take;
And with the fools, because of me,
You always we'll receiv'd will be-"
Thus FABLE side by side with TRUTH,
Like as two sisters hand in hand,
Will teach and please both age and youth
And welcom'd be in ev'ry land.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-17

AT length among mankind to dwell,
TRUTH came, all naked, from her we'll
BY living little pdSsee grown;
By living there so long alon,
She had little passee grown;
And old and young all fled surprised,
The moment she was recognised,
Poor Truth remand confounded quite,
BY such an unsuspected slight
Just then she chanc'd to see
FABLE in all her finery,
Trickd out in plumes and diamonds too;
(The most of these were false, 'tis true
But yet were dazzling to the view)
Who in familiar courtesy
Exclaimd :-"Ah here you are, see
And quite alone too, 1 observe.
Why are you here,
My sister dear?
What end do you propose to serve?
Pray tell me- if you please"
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-17
FABLE III.
THE THREE RIVALS.

ONCE on time rose fierce disputes
Between three very gentle brutes-
The OK, the horse, and ass
Their overweening pride, alas!
AS oft with men of seeming sense,
Led them to strive for precedence.
Perhaps, m yfriend, you hay deride
The thought of asses having pride;
But are not other sometimes vain,
And aim at rank they can't attain?
The patient OK with humble mien,
DESCRIBED what worker he had been;
How great his strength;
And then at length
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-17
FABLE Ii.

THE MIRROR OF TRUTH.
In that fam'd time, the age of gold,
When peace prevail'd in ev'ry land
And simple Truth herself made bold
To rove at large with glass in hand
Each in her mirror dar'd to trace
Without blush, his own true face.
But crimes and vices stole in fast,
And soon those happy days were past
Then Truth disgusted to Heaven flew
And back to earth her mirror threw.
Alas! twas broken in the fall,
And scatterd wide and lost to ALL
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-17

Long centuries after it was seen
How very great the loss had been;
And wise men then began with care
To seek out where the fragments were.
They sometimes find them, here and ther
But very small, and very rare:
So that they prove of little worth.
The truest man of all the earth,
With strongest mind and purest heart
Can see himself therein but part.
