6AVE THE QUEEN !

. .
Ever so long ago there existed a remote little kingdom in
the realms of Extravagance called Faraway, which, at the
primitive 'period to which this story refers, was governed by .1
crafty and tyrannical monarch,Ya.ept Squander, whose reckles
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;
aid want. In order to repinish 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 son; the handsome Prince Goldcn-
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 teat
his task was more difficult than he had imagined; for-
although the intended bride was quite willing, the bridegroom
elect expressed a decided abjection to tile 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 scheme, 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 looking-glass (those in which they could see their own
faces, having been invented about that time), he despatched the;
Prince upon his travels, and obtained his royal promise that if;
he returned without having discovered a fair maiden who had:
never beheld her face in a glass, he would then accept the prof-
fered hand of the obnoxious Princess. Proceeding upon his
novel and apparently hopeless mission, the Prince had ahnest
resigned 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 s enabled to discover the object
of his search-in the, person of little Snow-white,- a wood nymph,
who, together with her companions, had nob only never seen
their own faces in a glass, but had never seen the face of one j
man until thp arrival -of Prince Golden-heart in their abode,
which was a sequestered dell on the borders of Fairyland.
The Prince, overjoyed by his wonderful discovery, was at once]
smittes 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 attempt to make people believe that.
the musty records of past and gone are of mare-importance toi
the living nreeent than the stirring events of the existing iftle-f
ration, or the onward advancement of the future are of opinion
that the ancient kingdon of Faraway has been discovered.'
beneath the Goodwin bands, and a Limited Liability scheme is
in contemplation for explori::g that highly attractive locality.
By others it is contended that Hilbre Island covers the defunct i
kingdom, and this supposition is encouraged by the recent dis-
covery of a fossil, bearing a strong reseslblance to a missing
toothpick, formerly the property of King Squander. Other
equally learned pundits are of opinion that Faraway is hurled
in oblivion, and that 'it never existed an; where but in the
inventive imagination of a needy author.
