R0330 N' They Once upon a timethere was a village in a beautiful valley. It was entirely surrounded by steep and lofty moun- tains, which sheltered it from the storms of winter and the heat of summer. The soil of the valley was very fer- tile, and all manner of grains and fruits grew in abundance. Although there were frequent droughts in the country round about, the valley never lacked for water, even in the hottest of the sum- mer months. A never failing spring, sparkling like molten glass, flowed merrily down from the highest mountain, ran in a sportive, singing way through the Valley. and . passed intoa wide cavern at the further end of it. ~ This stream was the special pride of all the villagers. They shielded it from all pollutiOn. built fancy bridges over it and planted bright flowers along its banks. They believed it to be a gift from the gods, as they had an old tra- dition to that effect; and they would not allow any one to set foot upon the sacred mountain from which it came. The villagers were all very happy . and prosperous. Every one was free to drink of the stream, and-to nourish his garden with it, for it belonged alike to all, and no one had a right to say of it, “ This is my stream, and not yours.” Every villager possessed his own house, and not his neighbor’s, and the land of the valley was equally divided among them. There was no man who did not do his share of labor, and no one was burdened with eyermuch work. Every morning they were awakened by the singing of birds, and every evenâ€" ing the men and women sang songs to- gether, and taught the little children to dance and play on musical instruments. But in the course of time one ol the villagers, who was deformed in his mind, became a Financiermnd wicked- ly determined to obtain grain and fruit without doing his share of the work. ty, and why they should have to- pay so much grain and fruit to the Financier. And a few of the more intelligent ones began to inquire, saying, “Why can we not go up to the mountain ourselves, and cause the water to flow ? ” But this seemed a terrible and dan- gerous saying to the simple-minded peo- ple, for they had never thought of it be- fore. The clergy said it was blasphemy, and the schoolmaster said it was igno- rance, and the chroniclers said it was anarchism; and so for a long time the people remained in poverty, and many of their little children died for lack of food. But at last several of them dared to climb the mountain one day-when the stream was dry, and they'di'scevered the rocks and logs with which the Fi- nancer had stopped the water, and they removed them and set a guard upon ' the spring. And when all the people heard of it, they laid hands upon the Financier, and said to him, “ Why did you do this thing ?” And he said, “ It is the Law of business” And he besought them to have confidence in him. But they said, “We cannot have con- fidenee in a lie ”; and they took back their grain and their fruit and their: land, and their houses and furniture and musical instruments, and restored" unto every man what was his cwu, so- that they were once more prosperous. and joyful. And, after much reasoning together, they set free the Financer, and allowed him to live in the cavern at the end of the valley, and gave swine to watch, so that useful to the people. And though at first he made a great outcry, when he afterwards considered what the thing was that he had done, nkfal that the villagers. he was very tha had not taken his life. him a herd of‘ he might be- HYSICIAN, SURGEON dc AOGOUCE- _ eur.

According to their tradition, they be- lieved that the stream came from the gods, and therefore they broughtrmany. sacrifices, and ofiered them upon altars at the foot of the holy mountain, but of course no water descended. They chanted hymns and repeated prayers and tasted every third day; but their thirst increased more and more. At last the Financier spoke to the others and said : “If ye will give me one hundred bushels of grain I will risk my life for ye all. I will climb the mountain and intereedc with the gods, and persuade them to send us the stream again. .
