I. THE FOX AND THE GRAPES.

A Fox, parched with thirst, perceived some some grapes hanging from a lofty vine. As they looked ripe and tempting, Reynard was very desirous to refresh himself with their de-li-ci-ous juice; but after trying again and again to reach them, and leaping till he was tired, he found it im-prac-ti-ca-ble to jump so high, and in consequence gave up the attempt. Pshaw! said he, eyeing them as he retired, with affected in-differ-ence, I might easily have ac-com-plish-ed this business if I had been so disposed; but I cannot help thinking that the grapes are sour, and therefore not worth the trouble of plucking.

The Vain, contending for the prize
'Gainst Merit, see their labour lost;
But still self-love will say "Despise
"What others gain at any cost!
"I cannot reach reward, 'tis true,
"Then let me sneer at those who do."

A Dog crossing a river on a plank, with a piece of flesh in his mouth, saw its re-flec-ti-on in the stream, and fancied he had dis-cov-er-edi another and a richer booty. Ac-cord-ing-ly, dropping the meat into the water, which was instantly hurried away by the current, he snatched at the shadow; but how great was his vex* a-ti-on, to find that it had dis-ap-pear-ed! Unhappy creature that I am! cried he: in grasping at a shadow, I have lost the substance.

With moderate blessings be content,
Nor idly grasp at every shade;
Peace, competence, a life well spent,
Are treasures that can never fade:
And he who weakly sighs for more,
Augments his misery, not his store.

A Shepherd-boy, for want of better employent, used to amuse himself by raising a false larm, and crying "the wolf! twolf!" and hen his neighbours, believing he was in earnest, in to his assistance, instead of thanking them for their kindness, he laughed at them.

This trick he repeated a great number of mes; but at length the wolf came in re-al-i-ty, id began tearing and mangling his sheep. he boy now cried and bellowed with all his ight for help; but the neighbours, taught by -pe-ri-ence, and supposing him still in jest, aid no regard to him. Thus the wolf had time d op-por-tu-ni-ty to worry the whole flock.

To sacred truth devote your heart,
Nor ev'n in jest a lie repeat;
Who acts a base, fictitious part,
Will infamy and ruin meet.

The liar ne'er will be believ'd

By those whom he has once deceiv'd
