F olly -~L)

Give a fool heaven and
earth, and all the stars, and
he will make ducks and drakes
of them,

ONCE upon a time there
was an old man, who, by
thrifty living and long saving,
had laid by a fortune great
enough to buy ease and com-
fort and pleasure for a life-
time.

By-and-bye he died, and
the money came to his son,
who was of a different sort
from the father; for what
that one had gained by the
labour of a whole year, the

~ other spent in riotous living
in one week.
