The reader of these lines will at once exclaim :—" Oh, how
I should like a Fairy Gift like that !" But Fairy Gifts are only
valuable as the possessors know how to make a proper use of
them. Riches, without content, are but a s.urce of misery
and disquietude ; it might be better to be poor, for as a great
and good genius wrote—
" Poor and content, is rich and rich enough"
It is not to be supposed, from this digression, that the old
couple in question made a bad use of their Golden Eggs—far
from it. They were as exemplary in prosperity as they had
been in adversity; but a new generation sprang up, and they
had Three Grandsons—two of them, adopting the manners of
the times. became "Fast Young Men." The third resembled
his Grandfather, and was considered by his brothers " rather
slow."

Now, bow these young men became sharers in their Grand .
