tal is this mode of conveying instruction,
appears from tbe vast number of editions
tbrouiru which " vKaop'a Fables" have
uaseed. and the numerous truncations of
J at them into various language of the world.
The fascination of the apologue mm
I doe to soveral causes J
1. The amusing ingenuity displayed in
transferrin!; to the interior animals the aen
i fisjn- and language of human being.
S Tbe convenient disguise it furnishes
i to ridicule folly, t rebuke vice, without
the offhnce of personality.
If we can believe history, the happy ap
. plication of a fable has done wonder in
quieting tumults, exposing sophistry, and
' making wickedness odious. Iu what words
or by what images" was ingratitude ever
painted in so detestable a light as in the
fable of the thawed snake, stinging the
warm bosom of his deliverer? What ar-
Caent better f tted to reconcile the bard
tod laborer to still deliberation and pro
vident thought, or to show the mutual di
cadence of labor and capital than tbe fa
ble of the s omacb and the .limbs, by which
Menenius Agrippa led back tbe seceding
plebeians to Rome t "
The recoil of a malicious attack upon its
author is strikingly exhibited in " the vi
per and the file." The total consequences
of thoughtless excess are seen in " the bees
. entangled and suffocated in the honey
pot." When Phillip of Macedon demand
ed of the Athenians as the price ot peace
that they should deliver up their orators,
Demoethencse exposed jhe wiles of the
. crafty monarch by the fable of the sheep
giving up their guard dogs,, at tbe propo
sition of the wolves.
I have, therefore, often thought thai a
man who weald put these apologues into
popular and vigorous rhyme would do
service to the cause of wisdom and virtue,
besides immortalizing his own name. I
pretend not to be the man, or any thing
like it ; but haviug once thrown off a hasty
Attempt at the manner in which I conceive
the thing ought to b done, I offer it to
your columns, confessing my "incapacity
tor the proper vigor and point. My rude
. Odsay way lead the way for some great
er favorite of the Muses; as the floating
of the soap-bubble led to the invention of
httre Mautllus sugges
ted the idea of sailing on the deep.

A hare once playing hi a wood,
Before a ereepinir tortoise stood':
(These humble cr -stares aa-avstake
Their house ad att.unon their back;)
Mk I.igiitfoot, iir a mood for fan,
f Her jokes on shell-back thus begun :
" You mean not far, to-day. laar Irieiid,
I mess, vour .journey to extiad7
i
vou. .10 slow ou creep
ttwJ
es an hour t' advance a step.
I u lini I iiI.-um-. can forward hurry :
But o!f! that shell, how great a worry !
For your hard lot I'm truly sorry."
The tortoise answard : " Neighbor .Shanks,
Your kind compassion baa my thanks ;
But, I will bet yon what please,
Til heat yourladyship in a race."
"Pooh! pooh! you Joke, but 1 deny it;
To end dispute then, let us try it" :,
They trt away the hare hast shot.
And half a mile ahead has got
She stops, and in a gamesome mind.
Laughs loud at shelf-back tor behind ;
5 Fool that 1 was to waate my speed
To beat drudge 1 only need
To rnu ten steps, then atop and lead.
Conceited reptile ! "Tia a wonder
What follies some beaata labor under '
For that dull, lumbering creature there,
To try heels against a bare '.
Who'll he along in some two hours :
Meantime I'll nibble these few flowers!
Then ifl fee) inclined to rest,
'U take a nap within my nest."
So saying, Lightfoot browsed and slept.
While Shell-back plodding onward kept ;
Attained the goal, and claimed the prize
By th' time her rival oped her eyas.r
BOKAI..
Learn fienius. by this simple story,
In native talents not to glory.
Lest plodding Industry come in
To raap the lau els thou mightest wla ;
And ye plain minds, dissatisfied
Because bright gifts ye arc denied.
Improve your humble parte with constant care,
and then thetortois will outrun the hare.

iu Venango county, Pennsylvania, were
secured ly the compaujr aevcral montlss
since, and tlrcy are now on tbe lands, with
tbe requisite force, tools, steam engine,
tubbiiur and niachiucry, boring s well witb
very flattcriugnmsDcets of sneeess. The
orgauixalion oPthis company eAeted sesoe
time since has now bees perfected in legal
form, by act of incorporation, witb a capi
tal of5U0.000, divided into 100,000 shares
of $6 each, 950,000 shares of which, or
an amount of stock equivalent, par valor,
to 9250,000, have been reserves and set
aside for a working capital.
It is well known that a superior article
of Lit u in in i us coal is now being mined iu
the Deep river coal region, where a por
tion of ho binds are situated, and this
company owus property known to be equal
if not superior to any on which shafts have
In en sunk. Copper, iron and salt site
abound, and the attention of capitalists has
already hreu directed to this section on ae
count of its value for the above minerals.
In order to have sufficient means to de
velop this valuable property in sncb a
manner as to insure success, the Directors
have have authorized 10,000 shares of the
capital stock to bo sold to raise a working
capital, aud subscription for tbat nunibci
or any jiart thereof will be received.
Au opportunity uiicemuionly favorable
for invent lSonajs thus afforded, one ad van
tage being that all a bo ekooec to buy stock
under this offer will obtuin it upon bur more
reasonable terms than ran be looked for in
short time, alter the immense value and
mineral resources of these lands become
no great depth, and in profitable quanti
ties, it would be advisable for all who pro.
pose investing to do so at once, and est.
bark in an enterprise, which, after the ex
ample of the immense profits realised in
those of a similar character in other Stales
gives reasonable assurance of the most la
crativv results.
In other States nearly sll companies of
a similar character have bassed their oper
ations upon small tracts of land, in many
instaiici s even as small an ert a as one acre
has 1m eu deem sufficient, but ''The North
Carolina Petroleum and Alining Company"
has secured ui less than fourteen thous
and acres, (most of w Lit h abound in bitu
minous coal of a rich quality) acquired at
no liltle epeMMaml selected witn great
care and skill from .the choicest mineral
lands in the Slate.
Frequently it has been the case in less
favorable oil localities that shares hare ad
vanced in a few days from $3 or t5 to 1 .
$20, and even ?50, and persons of slight
means who made small investments, real
ized fortunes.
Actual boring has now commenced and a
considerable depth has already been reached
8o far. the prospects of stirejtss are fair, and
scientific men seem to entertain no doubt as
to the probability of find in tr oil. Neverth.
