THE VIPER AND THE FILE.

It runs as follows. A foolish old viper intruded into the establishment of a workman and made a great noise, with a view of attracting his attention. The workman, amused at the conceit and folly of the visitor, thought he would punish him, and so let a heavy file fall, with some violence, upon his back. The file bruised and cut more deeply than he intended, and the viper, expecting as usual to overcome its prey, seized it in its fangs, and, covering it with venom, endeavored to destroy it. The workman, whose sympathy had been aroused by the unexpected severity of his blow, now became amused at the rage and impotence that he witnessed. Smiling at the folly of the attack, he, with pleasant humor, quietly remarked; bite on, perhaps the longer you bite, the less you'll like it.
