`.CT FROM AN UNPUBLISHED MS. OF " FAIRY
54 LEGENDS OF LANCASHIRE."
0000 a time—a long time ago—before " Leverpole" was
qopit but a poor fishing village, there was a wicked destroying
tter who
11,,!with a company of spirits as bad as himself, took
ht, tibode'fin a wild part of the country, near to the said vil-
-4," " Leverpole." It was a place shunned an account of its
4iergite. In the midst of this wilderness stood a tree, known
liktt time as a monstrous ugly tree, and called "The Knotty

Ifk4„°l!, on the border of this wilderness, Nature, who is ever
lifl4l, had placed a most beautiful Lake, which was the abode
IltealrY, who seldom appeared to mortal eyes but in Lie she
tettan,.and this Swan having been seen for hundreds of years
14„1.; cessive generations, was, notwithstanding her exceeding
ift'Y, naturally called "The Oid Swan."
ktiot,Ms BY THE AUTHOR OF THE PANTOMIME.—The said
Qe,„'Y Ash still stands, and has given name to a village, but it
%t to be a very handsome tree after the bad spirits left the
lir urhood, and a great many choice spirits have since taken
kueir abode there.
!I) htegard to the beautiful lake, it is imagined it was swallowed
,41,4ZY,, the Revington Pike," but the memory of the " Old
iti,`,! is still retained in the locality, in affectionate remem-
liti? of the kind Fairy, who had achieved such good fortune
Nllent. Upon. this Legend the present Pantomime is founded,
tiki„its it is good to be merry and wise," an attempt has been
kik7 to combine science with amusement in the form of a Panto-
Allegory, which, it is hoped, will excite and gratify
in juvenile and inquiring minds.
THE ALLEGORY—" FIRE AND WATER."
'llDborus the Fire King, wages war with, and tries to over-
C Water h •suddenly I
rystaline, the Queen, who being surprise(
.to.hiaN after having, as she thought, extinguished his flame by
b
N 'Ma cold water on it, is released from his fiery embrace by
NtlDDearance of Steam, to whom, in return, she promises aid
Drotection. Steam is in love with Sweetsmile, daughter of
Blunderhead, who is the proprietor of an important do-
4', inhabited by the " Somebodies •'" but the Baron being a
enemy to scientific progress, and withal very ambitious, re-
!tilto match his daughter with any but a king. In this di-
-44,`a, Steam, with the advice of the Water Queen, and taking
and Labour, his companions, with him visits the
neciente 'Fishynge Village of Leverpole," inhabited by the
Wuodies," and which is on the verge of destruction and decay.
dIN! the poor Fishermen are almost starving, when Steam
oes in a lucky moment. and to gain their aid in obtaining the
Mt of his affections, changes with his irresistible power the
',paltry village to the "First Commercial City in the World."
Icire g g
in i so enrged areat chane effected by Steam,
4,41 e sKeeksg tos dedrivea him oft his power by capturing the Water
and for this purpose takes advantage of a very hard
4471' to invade the ice-bound domains of her Majesty, but 'here
fi, age overcomes his prudence; for, forg.etful ot the effects of
tuarnongst Ice, a rapid thaw takes place, In which Fire is over-
41,`'ined and "put out." The Water Queen is released from
lttDiison of Ice, and Steam, united to his beloved Sweetsmile,
the Pantomime going on.
