AE.GUMENT.
Ever. so long ago th4r4 existed a remote little kingdom in
the realms of Extravagance called Faraway, which, at II
primitive period to which this story refers, was governedby a
crafty and tyrannical monarch, yclept Squander, whose reckless
and unchecked expenditure (book-keeping being then unknown
and auditors never dreamt of,) had plunged his little king-
dom and his wretched subjects into an abject spte of poverty
7and want. ''. In,:order to trepl,nish . his empty:'63kers, and
to stop the murmurs of his impoverished followers, King
'Squander, conceived with m idea of effecting a matrimonial
alliance between his only son, the handsome Prince Golden-
-heart, and - wealthy spinster Princess, his ward, whose
`charms Were'buried in her money-bags. Like many modern
,niatch-iiiakera,his Majesty spletlily made the discovery tnat
his task • v;-" more difficult than he had imagined; for
although the intended bride was quite willing, the bridegroom
elect expressed a decided objection to the alliance. Finding,
his son .so obstinate that 'threats and entreaties alike failed to
turn him from his anti-matrimonial purpose, the King de!,
'visa a' cunning iiheme; by which he hoped to overcome the
scruples of his son, and entrap 'him, into wedlock with the
by-no-meads beautiful Princess. .Having an ungallant idea -
that the fair SeicArerliihallY and 'without exception addicted
to the looking-glass (thoswair whith they could sec their own.
faces, having been invented about that time), he despatched the
Prince uponllls travels; and. ohtajned his royal promise that if
he returned without havig discovered a fair maiden who,had
never beheld her face in a glass, be viouldthen aeeiptthelirof-
fei ed hand of the obnoxious Princess. Proceeding_upon his
novel-and apparently hopeless mission, the Prince had almost
-esigned himself to despair when, wearied and dispirited, he
reached an enchanted forest, and," by the aid of certain good
fairies who dwelt therein, he w a enabled to discover the object
of his search in the person of little Snow-white, a woad nymph„.
who, together with her contpattiono,. had not only ne-ii3r;iseett
their awn faces in a glass, but had never seen the face of {mg
man until the arrival of Prince Golden-heart in their abode,
which was a sequestered dell on the borders of Fairyland.
rho Prince, overjoyed by his wonderful discovery, w.s at Mee
smitten with her beauty, and the maiden was not slow to
reciprocate the sentiment.
Their future was probably a happy one--but history is obli-
vious of their subsequent career. Certain learned antiquarians,
whose special mission is to altettip,t tp peke people believe that
the inustprecords of Past:4nd gotio'ire of more importance to
Ale living present than the stirring events of the existing Kole,
ration, or the onward advancenient of the future, are of opinion
that the ancient kingdon of Faraway has been discovered
beneath theGoodWin Sands, and a Limited Liability scheme is
in contemplation for exploring that highly attractive locality.
By others it is contended that Hilbre Island covers the defunct
kingdom, and.this snit esitidiiiseneouraged`by the recent dis-
covery of a fossil, bearing a strong rese i,blance to a missing
toothpick, formerly . the, property of King!Squander. Other
equally learned -pundits are of opinion that Faraway is buried
in oblivion, and that- it never existed any where but in tilt
inventive imagination of a needy author.
