Zbc %ion. N days of yore, four beasts of the tleld made a compact to live together. They were the Lion, noted for superiority and strength ; the Gazelle, beautiful and grace- ful ; the Jackdaw, wise in his own conceit ; and the little, timid Hare. The Owl ruled over them with equity, and promulgated his decrees from his abode, called The Academe. On a certain time the Owl wished to possess a scepter, which might be the symbol of his sovereignty and strength. To the Lion, eldest, most privileged, and most responsible of his subjects, he relegated the task of finding him a suitable scepter. Through the Forest of Learning the Lion majestically trod. The l ' eautiful Gazelle he saw grazing in large numbers, for they are gregarious in their habits. It is said that in their sociable gather- ings they mainly discuss what substitute may be found for their regular Promenade, for the Gazelle is very lazy. He also startled many Hares, who tied at his approach, or watched him with large, startled eyes. The Lion took a pleasant nap under the Psychology Tree, but being awakened by a skull suddenly dropping upon him, he pursued his way. He was ol?liged to demolish a wall named Rhetoric, which obstructed his path, on the other side of which he found a few snaps of dainty morsels, Elective, which he greedily devoured. 4
