A stag quenching his thirst in a clear lake, was struck with the beauty of his horns, which he saw reflected in the water. At the same time, observing the extreme slenderness of his legs, "What a pity it is," said he, "that so fine a creature should be furnished with so despicable a set of spindleshanks! What a truly noble animal I should be, were my legs in any degree answerable to my horns!" In the midst of these thoughts he was alarmed by the cry of a pack of hounds. He immediately bounded through the forest, and left his pursuers so far behind that he might have escaped; but rushing into a thick wood, his horns were entangled in the branches, where he was held till the hounds came up, and tore him in pieces. In his last moments he thus exclaimed, "How ill do we judge of our true advantages! The legs, which I despised, would have borne me away in safety, had not the antlers I was so vain of, betrayed me to ruin."

1. The stem may be called the body of the plant, for it supports the branches, foliage, and flowers. It is either woody as in our trees and bushes, or fleshy, or hollow, as in grass and corn.
2. Air and light are necessary to plants. If a leaf is deprived of light it loses its colour. The size of the leaf bears no proportion to the size or strength of the tree, but the number does.
3. What art has done for men, nature has, in many instances, done for those animals which are incapable of using art. Their clothing of its own accord changes with their necessities.
4. The hare doubles and winds in a most ingenious manner, when she runs from her enemies, in order to conceal her track, which they would follow by the scent. The rabbit pops his little head out of his hole to peer for danger, before he ventures abroad.
5. The planets are celestial bodies which revolve round the sun on the same principle as the earth. They are divided into primary and secondary. Those which revolve immediately round the sun are called primary. The smaller ones which revolve round primary planets are called secondary.
6. Chemistry makes us acquainted with many facts of which, without it, we must have remained in ignorance. How wonderful that the diamond should be made of the same material with coal, and that the most part, by bulk, of water should be an inflammable substance.
