A JAPANESE-dREEK FABLE.

A Japanese-American version of an
ancient Greek myth Is indeed a piece
c. literature. In some correspondence
of Lafcadio Hearn. published recently
In the Atlantic Monthly, there Is quoted
such composition. warranted to be
genuine. 1t was written by native Of
Japan in an examination paper.
Tithonus was youth very hand
some and polite.
Aurora was the rosy-fingered God
dess of the Dawn-a very fine young
lady with rosy fingers.
She was used to get up In the earlier
morning every day, and she was very
studious.
She follen in love to Tithonus, and
by her chariot taxed him up to the
sky.
One day she ask him that-''Sir,
can give you all thing you want" Then
he ask to her that-"Please give me
the eternal life"
Hoping to enjoy the eternal life of
her husband, Aurora ask to Zeus, Faith
err of all the Gods:
And soon the eternal life was bestow
on Tithonus.
But Aurora forget to request for the
eternal youth; therefore Tithonus have
the only eternal life.
Gods have the eternality Of youth as
we'll as life.
Tithonus came to become thirty or
fourty years of age.
He became every day more old.
He become TOTALLY old.
And felt the miseration OF this life.
To the last desire he begged the God
to make him glasshopper and to hop
on the ground.
So for pity the God changed him into
a glasshopper, which could hop about
our world.
And he is hop about the ground even
now, and bears the dry looking.
So from a man becomed the husband
of the Goddess, and then to be changed
into a vile worm
This should teach us well to ask
never the inconsistent things.

rifled contents were found in the boil

formed in Cedar creek back of the
