56 THE INDEX. (A FINE FABLE.) Once upon a time, a certain king and his ministers, wishing both to perfect the laws of the land and increase its revenue, concluded to issue the following proclamation : Know ye, all people of M A Cropolis, that by the will of your August Ruler, ye shall henceforth bow down to the following law, to wit : All persons found guilty of the heinous crime of Secnesba Desucxenu shall, under p enalty of exile, be de- prived of the sum of one dollar. Overwhelmed with the prospect of the enormous income about to arise from this source, the Council conceived the idea of devoting a portion of it to the foundation of an immense library, and at the same time visionary ideas of an annual feast floated through their imaginations. But, alas for the uncertainty of human calculations, they, like all mortals, were doomed to disappointment. Their subjects, goaded to desperation by this crowning act of a long- continued despotism, unanimously refused to comply with the obnoxious mandate. Libraries there were not, and the king went howling through the street, ' ■ ' •what shall we do for grub to eat ? Moral : Never count your chickens before they are hatched.
