ARGUMENT.
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 a
crafty and tyrannical monarch, yclept 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
..and want. In order to replenish his empty coffers, and
.to stop the murmurs of his impoverished followers, King
Squander conceived the idea of. effecting a matrimonial
alliancz between his only son, the hvidsome Prince Goldon-
iheart, and a wealthy spinster Princess, his ward, whose
-Zeliarms-were buried in 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 vrillhig,the bridegrooni
elect expressed a decided objection to the alliance. Minding
Isis son so obstinate that threats and entreaties alike failed to
Urn him from his anti-matrimonial purpose, the king de-
wised 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 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 almost
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 So discover the object
of his search in the person of little Snow-white, a wood nymph,
who, together with her companions, had not only never seen
.their own faies in a glass, 'but had never seen the fade of one
man until the arrival of Prince Golden-heart in their abode,
'which was a sequestered dell on the borders br Fairyland.
The Prince, overjoyed by his wonderful discovery, was at once
Smitten 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
tee musty records of past and gone are of more importance to
:the living present than the stirring events of the existing gene-
,ratiou., 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 explori,4 that highly attractive locality.
.By others it is contended that Hilbre Island covers the defunct
-kingdom, and this supposition is encouraged by the recent dis-
covery of a fossil, bearing a strong rese üblance to a missing
toothpick, formerly the property of King Squander. Other
equally learned pundits are of opinion that Faraway is buried
in oblivion, and that it never existed an. where but •in the
inventive imagination of a needy author.
