Beware of the Empty Wagon.

Because half a dozen grasshoppers under a fern make the field ring with their Importunate chink, whilst thousands of cattle, reposed beneath the shadows of the British oak, chew the cud and are silent, pray do not Imag-. Ine that those who make the noise are the only Inhabitants of the field; that of course they are many In number; or that, after all, they are other than

the little shriveled, meager, hopping though loud and troublesome Insects of the hour. —Edmund Burke.
