his liis,and ieeriiig with searphlng
j eyes at 6'racta over the head of his
: cane, whieli he held to his lips, re
; ilectivcly. He had been standing
sometime near the gate ready to de
part, but the unusual conversation
held him. He l ad never before
heard this modest girl express her
self so firmly. He was astounded.
It was a new phai-c of her charac-
iked (I'racia ; he atlmi etl her intel
ligence, her beauty, her sincerity,
and the modest deference she had
heretofore shown him.
He had for some time had it in
his mind to make her his wife he
was only waiting a fitting oppor
tunity to introduce the business alid
have the matter arranged. (Vraeia.
though formerly much attracted to
this man by his mental attainments,
and his high moral character, of
late had been displeased by a cer
I tian despotism of opinion, which he
j frequently presumed to exercise,
j .She was getting a positive dislike
j to him, as she suspected that he
entertained a secret but pro 'bund
contempt for women.
Hie remembered he had never
praised a woman the trivial he
scathed; the intellectual ho gracious
ly sneered at ; tho gifted he con
demned as vain and ambitious in
tlie use of their girts. 6'racia had
gradually made these discoveries,
and silently recorded them. Never
till to-day had she ventured to
openly question tho cxccl ence of
his opinions.
He still stood piercing her with
keen gaze, vvhi'C a disdainful smile
sat on his lips, lie was vexed that
this woman whom he had conde
scended to love shou'd dare to criti
cise him.
6'racia, unmindful of his vexa
tion, said, looking calmly into his
luce,
" I believe, Mt. Sanford, there is
a higher lookout upon human con
duct a kinder and truer one than
yours, and I am Fitre you defraud
yourself even more than you in
jur? others, by your severe judg
ments." is'uddeidy she added : " I am
going to write a Fable."
" Kxcessive wisdom is apt to find
vent in that way' he said with a
half smile, half sneer.
"Withhold your sarcasm, sir,
and come and hear it," nho said,
bowing, and retreating up the walk.
Sanf! rd hurried down the street.
j Mind to the outer world, so vexed
J was lie with Gracia's impudence.
I " She isn't the woman for my
j wife,' after all," lie thought. " She
I isn't pliable and confiding enough."
Yet, when he rememliered how lit
tle most oftho women he had kown
had pleased him, he cottcltided she
would l ave to do and she woif d
; grow less self-asserting, he thounht,
when she had a firm mawuhtie hand
over her.
(iracia stood in her room with a
curious smile on her face. She
1 sharpened her pencil, saying, 1 alf
audibly, " A swoet husband ho
j would make ! We're safe bet Ii
! of us, I think, but I'll make a sure
I thing of it"-and she sat down to
! her table. Alter manv dnvs (he
would seem in no haste) Simford
called. lie was gracimis, and en
! tertauiing He asked for tlie Fable,
! seeing f.'raeia would not introduce
j the subject. Without hesitation
she produced the manuscript, and :
j seriously, without aa.logy, blushes, ,
or I leggings of lenici cy. proceetlotl
t rontk nicrelv savinir " Don't bo j
alarmed at my selection of symbols." f
A donkey, which l ad been at
work all the morning, stood eating
Kn a I Z which was stpeiKM
from his neck. His head was bur
ied in the bug, and lie did not no
t'eelittle I'ahbit, who came skip
ping from the yard, till she was
lieside him, a.vl said " Good Don
key V" lie lifted his head hoiu
the pouch, ami looked a moment
disdainfully at the little limping
thing
"Well, Kahby, what do you
wait of ine V"
' I came to tell you of something
I taw this morning."
" Fgh," contemptuously exclaim
ed the donkey, thrusting' his head
again into the bag.
liabbit paid no heed to the dis
dain, but said, " I was in the mead
ow, by the woods, eating the grass,
when I heard strange snds in the
air, and, looking up, I saw an eagle
soaring above tlie forest; his broad
wings rising and falling with such
power and grace, I gazed full of
strange wonder as he went up, up,
into the high heavens, 'till he was
lost in tlie light. O, it was a glorious
sight "
" Fgh, you little simpleton!"
said the donkey, lifting his head
In m tlie hat; and looking askance
at the little bite rabbit. " Don't
waste your admiration! Don't
you know the eagle flow up into
tho sky on purpose to attract your
attention, and the notico of all silly
animals like yourself?"
" Ah, good donkey, I don't thmk
theeaglo knew i was looking at
him, or would have eared for my
notice if he had seen mo. I think
he rose so majestically up in the
heavens, because it is natural fi r
him."
" Fie ! iHitm-df 7 I fuw little yon
know. VOU foolish, trust ine rahhitl
t t j - j a - -
It is natural to walk the earth, as
you and 1 do, and it is not natural
to go careening through t lie air.
All scusiblo creatures walk ; it is
only the vain who get loose from
the earth, ai d go flapping their
wings in tlie air.''
" Ifitt, wise donkey, I did not tell
you all' sa d little rabbit, who was
too much absorlted in the vision
she hal beheld to care fur the don
key. " While I was watching the
eagle, I suddenly heard clear, beau
tiful mtbvc above me, and, turning
my eyes, I saw a lark rising into
the heavens, even more gracefully
than the eagle, and singing till the
whole heavens seemed filled with
tnusie, as well as light, and such
music, good donkey, you never
hoard. '
" N'o sweeter than your voice, or
mine ! " snarled the donkey.
" We could make no music like
it," persisted little rabbit.
" I hope wo shall never lie such
fools as to want to try !"
" Why," continued tho rabbit,
" the sheep, nor the cattle, nor any
creatures about us, could make snob
sweet uiiis:e."
" Your head is turned, you foolish
thing ! " said the donkey! " Don't
you see it is all vanity, and idleness,
which induce these binls to leave
the natural sphere of all animals,
and go sailing conspicuously in the
heavens and sit ging with such nn
ltccoming loudness? 7'bey should
bo willing to help do the hard work
of the world, like me, or modestly
and humbly live in quiet, and listen
to the wisdom of superior animals,
as you do, raid tlie donkey, with
great satis action.
" Hut, donkey, this eagle and lark
aiC not made like us. TUy were
evidently made! ltheTeavei s.
"rio: "said ine donkey, with
a stamp of tho foot and an impa
tient shake of the head. " .Made
I for the heavens ! who 1 as a better
right to judge of that matter than
jl? Geese a're made like them, If
: I understand how the vain things
j look ; (I never raised my eyes to
i them ; I would not p case their
j vanity so much.) 'I l ey lave, two
' feet and feafher like geese, yet
J geese don't- go tailing up to the
j clutids ; they are mode-t, nm ?oim
j bio, and willing to fill tho place
j thev were designed for, and have
no fjph vanity which piompts
' ea"!es and larks to behave unseem
ly:" " What veil say may bjj true,
wise donkey, Imt I shall nevir fi r
got the now lilo I felt when I notch
ed that eagle rising up into the
heavens and onwards into the ta
lliiig blaze of ti e site."
" Sun ! " said the donkey, mov
ing his cars excitedly, in spite of
his dcterrtiii ntion to show no inter
est ; " what has the snu to do with
these, foolish creatures, ? It is the.
sun which warms my sides in tie
cold winter, and makes tho gras
grow which wo cat, and makes it
light for me to toil. Whtrodid you
sec tho sun 'r" and he looked with
a surly disdain, as if vexed became
he .-aw ti e rabbit was really wist I
than himself.
" Why, donkey, up in this very
sky, whom the eagle soared, and
the lark sang, walked the sun in
such wonderful brightness could
scarcely gaze at him ; and tlio light
from Ins thee tilled all the broad
leavens with splendor, AA state
ly clouds, in dazzling white mantles,
stood about him, waitingand watch
ing. Aid when I looked down
upon the grass, saw what was
oven mole beautiful than the sight
above. It was as if the great si.r
had shaken his robes, and tho gems
bad fallen thick nbmtme, and titers
they hung upon the nodding spears,
those trembling dew drops which 1
have soon hundreds of times, but
never before tilled with this splen
dor. Good donkey, the song or
the lark, and the glory of the sun,
had made mo something more than
a foolish rabbit
"Almost a donkey "(brayed,
BOtto pooe.) And then n soft breew
whispered something, which I could
but faintly understand ; something
which came trim the wonderful
heavens where the sun lives. If I
could but understand it ail !" mur
mured rabbit. " And so I came to
you, good donkey, to have it all
explained."
" Well, well, little rabbit," said
the donkey, moving his long ears
and trying to assume a look of
dignity tuu superiority. " No doubt
you saw something which pleased'
yon j simple; unreasoning cieaturca
are always easily pleased, but it was
all foolishness a vain show gotten
up to attract just such silly crea
tures as you. They don't deceive
me so easily! Now, dear little
rabbit, run home, and don't y
any heed to silly animals which get
utit of their spheres, and don't mod-
djp with things, you. can't couiniw
bond."
I'ahbit thought, as she leaped
over the grass" Perhaps donkey
