ARGUMENT.
Ever so long age 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; wirostreokless
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- repinish his -empty • c(offers, 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 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 teat
his task was more difficult than he had' `imagined; for.
although the intended bride was quite willing, the bridegroom
elect expressed a decided objection to the alliance. Finding
his son so obstinate that threats and entreaties alike tailed to
turn him from his anti-matrimonial purpose, the King de-
vised a cunning seheme, by which ha Wiped to overcome the
,scruples of his son, and entrap him' into ,Wedlock with the
by-no-means beautiful Princess. Having; an.. ungallant idela
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 thet 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 to 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 faces in a glass, but had never seen the face of ode
man until the arrival of Prince Golden-heart in their abode,
which was a sequestered dell on the borders of Fairyland.
The Prince, overjoyed by his wonderful diaccivery;?fas an once
smitten with her beauty, and the maiden was not slow to
reciprocate the sentiment.
"Their future was probablyn 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 more importance to
the living present than the stirring events of the existing gene-
- ration,-or the onward advancement of the future, are of opiniedi
that the ancient kingdon .of Faraway has been discovered
beneath the Goodwin Sands, and a Limited Liability scheme is
in contemplation for exploring that highly attractive locality.
By others it is contended that Hilbre Island covers the defunct
kingdore, and this supposition is encouraged by the recent dit-
eovery of a fossil, bearing a strong resemblance to a missing
toothpick, formerly the property of King -Squander. Other
Tqually 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.
