t The Lifetime of Man.
When the Wort&was created, and all
creatures assembled to have their life
time appointed, the ass first advanced
add tsked how king he would have to
live ?
"Thirty years," replied Nature ; "will
that be agreeable to thee ?"
"Alas I" answered the ass, "it is a
Remember what a weari
some existence will be mine ; from
morning until night I shall have to bear
heavy buidei3s, dragging cornsacks to
the Mill, that others may eat bread,
while I shall have no encouragement,
nor lie refreshed by anything but blows
and kicks. Give me but a portion of
that'time I pray ?"
Nature was Moved with compassion,
and presented but eighteen years. The
ass'went away comforted, and the dog
camelorward.
."Howilong dint thou require to live !"
asked Nature. "Thirty years are too
many forlhe tule„bnt wilt thou be con
tented with-them ?"
.‘ls it thy will that I should ?" replied
the Alog.,;"Think how. much I shall
have.to run about ; my feet will not last
fonisirionralime, and when I shall lose
l'Oice.ifor barking, and my teeth for
biting, what else shall 1 be fit for but to
lie in the-corner and growl ?"
Nituria thought he was right and gave
yetirs:
Tlieape then appenied.
'"Thou wilt, doubtress, willingly, live
theythitty years," said nature ; "thou
wilt not'hive to labor as the ass and the
dog. be pleasant to thee."
"Ah r no"!" cried he ; "so it may seem
toothersbut it will not be ! Should
pmidings eyer rain down, I should ex
cite, laughter by nay grimaces, and then
be nwarded by a sour apple. How of
ten sorrow r lies, concealed behind a jest !
I shill not be able to endure for thirty
years." -
Nature .wae gracious and he received
but ten.
-AV last came man, healthy and strong
and.aslred-the measure of his days.
“Will.thirty years content 'thee ?"
"How short a time 1" exclaimed the
man. , "When I shall have built my
house; and kindled a file upon mine own
bearth=when the trees I shall have
planted are aboit to, bloom and bear
Shall seem to me most
deeirable; 3 shall die, Oh Nature grant
me a longer period."
."Then shalt thou„Cave the eighteen
years ,of. the :US besides."

man.
"Take,likewise the twelve years of
the dog.".
"It is not , -yet- sufficient," reiterated
man ; meniore,"

Man departed unsatisfied.
