primitive period to which this story refers, was governed by a
crafty and tyrannical monarch
and auditors-never dreamt of,) hade
k-kiiet Squander,. whose reckless
• and unchecked expenditure
and his wretched subjects into appnilng
and want. In order to reph nish his being then unknown
plunged 'his little king-
domvahjet
tstate tpso poverty
to stop the murrain's of his inmoverisheeTlpfei'lloc4rsr,',King
Squatder conceived the idea of effecting a matrimonial
alliance between his only son, the handsome Prince Golden-
heart, • and a wealthy spinster Princess, his ward, whose
charms were buried to her money-bags. Like many modern
match-makers, his Majesty speedily made the discovery toat
his task was more; difficult- than ;-he had imagined; for
although the intended bride was quite willing; the bridegroom
elect exp,ressed 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-
vised a cunning s,heme, ,by which ho hoped to overcome the
scruples of his son, and entrap him into wedlock with the
by-no-means beautiful Princess. Having an ungallant idea
that the fair sex were wholly and without exception addicted
to the llielang-glass (those in which they could see their own
faces, haying been invented About that time),: he degia..tilhed the
Prince upon his travel... 4; and obtained his royal promise that if,
he returned without having discovered a fair maiden who had.
never beheld her face in a ;lass, lie would then accept the prof-
fered hand of the obnoxious Princess. ..Proceeding, upon. his
novel and apparently+ hopeless mission, the-Prince had almost
resigned himself to despair, when, wearied and dispirited,.he.
reached an enchanted • forest, and, by the and of certain good'
fairies who dwelt therein, he w s enabled to discover the object,
iof his search in the person of little Smiw-white, a ivo•A nymph;
who, together with her companions, had .not only never seen
their own faces in a glass,:-but had never seen the face of one
man until the arrival of Prince Golden-heart in their abode,
which vms- a sequestered dell on,the 'borders of Fairyland.
The Prince, overjoyed by his wonderful discovery, was at once
mitten-ivith her beauty, and the maiden was not slow to
reciprocate' the sentiment. ' ' :
