ARGUMENT.
. Ever so long age there existed s remote little kingdom In
the realms of Extravagance called Faraway, which, at the
primitive period to which this story refers, was governed by a
crafty and tyrannical monarch, yelept 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 state of poverty
aald' want. In order to repltnish his empty , coffers, and
to stop the murmurs of his impoverished followers, King
squander conceived the ' idea of effecting a matrimonial
Alliance between his only sin, the handsome Prince Golden-
heart and a wealthy spinster Princess, his" ward,, whose
'charms were buried in her money-bags. Like many modern
match-makers, his Majesty speedily made the discovery t ,at
his task was more difficult than he had •imaeined; for
although the intended bride was auite willing the bridegroom
elect expressed a decided objection to the alliance. Finding
!1.8 son so obstinate that threats and entreaties alike failed to
`lapin him from -his anti-matrimonial purpose, the King de-
lv,sed a cunning scheme, by which he hoped to overcome the
ernples of his son, and entrap him into wedlock with the
~Y-110-means.beautiful Princess. Having an ungallant idea
