Belladonna supplies him with the poison; but the base plot is overheard by Brightray, the Getiiß3 of Spring and fri •nd of the Buttedlllea, who tells them she will do all in her power to Iraffle the 'foul design. Brightray repairs to the Butterfly's garden, where she premises protection to Silver wings, saves the Butterflies from the efforts of Master Robert and his companions to catch them. and tires permission to Silverwings to meet her lover, the Grasshopper, at their trysting place. Here the lovers are interrupted by the malice of their *enemies, the Wasp and the Spider, who are put to rout by 'the bravery of the Grasshopper. The Wasp on his way terthe feast, to which he has been invited, looks in at the kitchen of the Lady Silverwings, herping to find an oppor tunity of poiso n i ng a ll the dishes intended for the banquet ; but thecook a, seeing a wasp on their 'remises, make desperate e'lrotts to catch him, hut in vain. After a severe chase, the Wasp escapes, but in the encounter breaks his bottle of poison. The trumpeter, Gadfly, calls all the guests to the /egg by a blast of his trumpet, and the Flies and Insects and Animals proceed in procession to the grass green lawn be neath a broad oak, where th^ revels take place. The discom tted Wasp joins the festivities with his friend the Spider. znuch to their chagrin ; when, in the midst of their mitth, Belladonna appears, and demands of the Wasp the us e helms 'made of the poison, who tells her of the fate of h is bottle ; 'when the Witch immediately changes the beautiful summer landscape into a winter one, with leafless trees, frozen rivers, and falling snow. All tbeyarty become torpid and deaf' with cold ; but the good friend of the Butterflies, the Genius of Spring, appears, and with her warm rays revives the Flies and Insects, and, to securethem against the spite of their enemies, changes the Grasshopper into Harlequin, and the Butterfly into Columbine. The Witch sends the Wasp and the Spider in pursuit of them es Clown and Pantaloon ; when, after Many escapes and trials, the Butterfly and Grass . hopper are united, and live happy ever after."

The floor was all trodden over around the safe, as if the thieves had been at it for many hours, after which they got it out into the back yard, and as it could not be picked or broken open, they then filled the key-hole with gunpowder, thinking to gain admission by explosion ; but in which they were again foiled.
