THE RABBIT AND THE HARE.

've been to town,' a Rabbit said, 'O sleepy Mr. Hare, And if you don't get out of bed You'll miss the market there.' 'How mean of you!' the other whined; 'You've bought the best, I see, And in the market I shall find The worst is left for me.' The Rabbit mutely turned away From language so unfair; He trotted home, and from that day He shunned the lazy Hare. 'For this,' said he, 'is plain to me, All lazy folk are prone To blame their friends, and never see The fault is theirs alone.'
