Ever so long "ago th e existed a. remote little kingdom in
the realms of Extravagance ealled'Fiii-awaY; which, at the
primitive period to which this story refers, was governed, by a
crafty and tyrannical monarch, yclopt Squander, whose reckless
and unchecked expenditure (book-keeping being then unknown
and auditors never dreamt of,) had plunged .his little king-
dem' and his wretched subjects into an abject state of poterty
and want, in order to repi. aisle 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 S 611; tic handsome Prince Goldon-
;.hcart,. and ,a wealthy . spinster Itrincees, lilt.- 'ward, vthoke '
charms were buried in her maneysbags. Like many modem-
match-makerii, bis. Majesty speedily made .the discovery! that
his task" Wak Mort "difficult than he 'had imagined 1 fur
although the intended bride'icas quite willing the bridegyoom
-elect expressed a decided objection to the alliance. Finding
his son to obstinate, that. threats axed entreaties alike failpd to'
'turn hi 'from his imti4hatrinionial purpose, the King de-
vised a cunning scheme, by which he hoped to overcome the
scruples of his son, and 'entrap him into wedlock with the
by-no-means beautiful Brincess. Having an • ungallant! idel--
that 'the fair ser Were wholly. And without exception addicted
to the looking-glass (those in which they could sec their! own
faces, having been invented about that time), he despatch the
Prince upon his travels, and obtained his royal promise t at if
he returned without having discovered a fair maiden wh had
never beheld her face in a alas, he would then accept the rof-
kred hand of the otniekious Princess. Proceeding upon his
novel and apparently hopeless mission, the, Prince ,lead almost
resigned himself to despair, .when, wearied and' disphited, he
reached an enchanted forest, and, by the aid of certain good
fairies who dwelt therein, hew a enabled to discover the object ,
of his Search in the person of little Snow-white, -a *coed nyinph,
who, together with her companions, had not only never seen
their own faces in a glass, but had never seen the face to one
man until the arrival of Prince Golder.-heart in their 'a de,
co
which was a sequestered dell on the borders of Fairy and.
The Prince, overjnyed.by tie wonderfuLdiscovery; ,w.ss-atlonce
smitten with her, beauty, and the.lnaideto was. not slow to
reciprocate the Sentiment. . ..._ _
Their future was probably a happy one--ebut history is bli-
viona orthein klibsetpte `nt career. . Certain learned antiqua ans,
whose special mission is to attempt to make people believe that
the, musty rpm* -of, past, and: goae, are of more importance to
the living blesent than the stirring events of the existing gene-
ration,
or the onward advancement of the future, are of opinion
that the ancient kingdon of ' Faraway has been discoVered
beneath the Goodwin Sands, and a Limited Liability scheme is
in contemplation for explailivg that highly attractive locality.
By others it is contentltxlthat llilbre Island covers the defunct
kingdoms mid-this etipOokitien IFI encouraged by the recent dis-
covery of a fossil, hearing a strong ruse ablance to a missing
