RURAL FELICITY.


There is a variety in the interest of the
locality that to me is considerable. Just now
there are number of beautiful calves re-
Gently introduced into the world by their
milk-giying mothers. They are beauties
Did you ever consider a calf? Did you ever
have fellow-feeling Looking at their
plays in the green meadow almost wish /
was one, and probably would so wish but
for fear OF too early introduction to the
butcher. Surveying the green acre OF the
gay little animals the other day discovered
that calves had vanity as well as man. Mans
self-conceit leads him to look down on his
fellow. Wealth, especially, engenders arro-
gance. That is the meanest kind OF SELF
complacency, and it never enters the breast
of the calf-which, therefore, has the ad-
vantage on that point. But calves will pride
themselves on experience, and size, and age.
A calf OF three weeks existence we saw

stood with trembling legs and vacant stare
out Of his big eyes not far from his
mother. Our three weeks hero endeavored
to attract the attention of the younger one.
He surveyed him up and down, and pro-
posed to leap the little ditch between them,
but the horn of the mother suggested q di-
lemma which he was not brave enough to
encounter So he satisfied himself with a
philosophic reflection as to what such lim-
r-jointed, scrawny little fellow had come
into the world for, and for what could he
be created. Poor thing, he could not surely
live. Making final futile effort, with SUBJ
dued bleat and festive shake Of the tail, to
attract attention, he gave up his attempt at
sociability and capered gaily to his ma, who
was down in the meadow. Tell me calves
