THE STORY OF -THE PANTOMIME.

Once upon a time there was -a 'certain Queen, whose name was
Goldenwing, and who had a very large family of daughters. Her
husband-having long since been-dead, the family was a source of
great anxiety to her, and she kept them at .home, •as well as she
could, in a beautiful bower of roses and fillies. Her/eldest daughter,
the fair Brillianta, was so exceedingly handsome that she attracted
the notice of Prince Eblis, whe sought herhand, but was rejected,
not only by the young lady, but by .her mother and all the
family. Shortly afterwards the Prince Peacock, a gay bachelor,
whose -domain joined that of the Queen Goldenwing, becoming
tired -of single blessedness, proclaimed that he would give a
grand -ball, and invited everybody, far .and near, in the hope
that from amongst the ladies he might select a wife. The
fair Reillianta, with all her sisters, went to the Prince s ball,
where be at once became enamoured of her, and arrangements
or their marriage were being made by Queen Goldenwing,
when Prince Eblis, hearing of this, became so enraged that,
while the Queen was at the Palace ,of Prince Peacock, having sent
her children home to the. Bower, he resolved, to-burn that beautiful
place to the ground, and all the family in it. Fortunately the
fair Brillianta remained with the Prince, carefully enclosed in a
large and lovely rose,- to guard her from harm. As the Queen and
the Prince were looking from the battlements of the Palace at a
great comet which appeared .at that time, a lurid light was
observed in. the sky, while voices in. the air warned the Queen of
what was doing by singing, " Ladye Bird, Ladye Bird, fly away
home, your house is on fire, your children at home." On hearing
this the • Queen. became .alarmed, and, -with the Prince and her
daughter, attended by. the Double-faced Guards, who never turned
theirbacks on an enemy, because they could not, flew to the scene
of the-conflagration, where, in spite of the exertions of the good
fairy :,firemen, the .Prince and his Guards were completely van-
quished by Prince Elbis, and Brillianta -was nearly in his power
when Xing Fog, who ,had one night protected some of the little
"*-- bird children ' - when they

ladye .._ co, of Goiat .......) had stayed out too
late'and become lost in his mis, .....uenly appeared, and, calling
to their aid a shower of• rain, not only extinguished the flames of
the burning Bower,,but so befriended Prince Peacock and the fair
Brillianta, that .they eventually became united and lived happy
ever after.
