and were to be seen at ail corners, crying out Wolf! WOlf!-and thus by the basest arts, succeeding in gaining the confidence of the more unsuspiciOus and COnfding part of the Fox family but the experienced and more discerning insisted that they were not to be trusted; that the [" cloven fOOt' would ulti- mately peep out and that the Ethiopian had not changed his skin nor the leopard his spots. And it turned out finally, that a run away Wolf, in the garh of Fox, does not diff fer essentially from Wolf in sheep's cloth ing;" he is nothing but Wolf afier all, and will act upon Woifsh principles in spite of all you can do :-he will bite and devOur friend and foe, melted by greedy appetite for game. And thus it was with the heroes of this story. for they intrigued and combined together and finally succeeded in excluding the vete- rams of the Fox family from all participation in the spoil ;-and even those individuals who had rendered the most essential services, who had borne the heat and the burthen of the day." and had lad the foundations of ultimate success, were obliged to ask the picking of0 SPGrrO'O'S skeleton, as a matter of especial gracr and favOr." The conduct of the intru- ders excited universal disgust and indignation; and finally affairs came to a crisis; for one day when the family had assigned to a wor- thy member, on account ofhis entire devotion 10 the good cause from his youth up, his cor rect principles, and frmness in the hour ofper- Il, suitable reward ;--one of these bold in- trndcrs, possessing all the sterling propensities of bis tribe, rushed with great rudeness upon the veteran, and attempted to snatch from him the prey upon which all the genuine members of the Fox family rose up in arms, and nut the assaii;nt and his adherents out of tt'" camp, as enemies in disguise. Whereup- 'H 4fe faithful and honest members of both : :'ties immediately had an interview and npon a free interchange of sentiment, it was agreed that old subjects of dispute were en- tirely done away; and that all we'll disposed people could meet on the common ground of public good. It was then resolved, nemine controd;cente.t their territory should be dis- icted; and that suitable portions should be assigned to each family, so that they might both have reasonable and just proportion of the game, and that they would forever after live in harmony and peace.

 sfonAI.-Theu unembcrs of opposite parties, who have acted upon principle, may. when the grounds of difference are removed, trust each other with entire safety; but those who, from interested motives, desert their friends m the hour of danger, are not worthy of the least confidence, and will, sooner or later, es- sentially iniu iure the cause, in espolising which, they committed an act of treachery.
