( The faries made her labours light for her. She
sold her fish, and. when she came home, found
a little water running from the spring, fire
alight in the courtyard, and piece of bread
beside it. She made some water hot, crumbled
the bread into it, ate her hot sop and fell asleep
Next morning she awoke very thirsty, but
there was no water. The little cellarer was at
her elbow to remind her that she must 20 fish,
ing and marketing before she breakf,sted. She
fell at once into great rage. wish, she
thought to herself, wish you were-where

on her nose. where he began to punish her with
a thick bristle, beatingIher cheeks and tickling
her nostrils 30 that she laif killed herself with
sneezing. .a

you politeness. whssrs sss grows indeed
I'll pepper you ~
Swanhida fshed and went to market, where
two of her rejected saitors saw her, and came
up at,once to buy some of her fish and to mock
her. So the year and the next year passed the
suitors came one after another, jeering at Swan
hilda. She took every day to market u basket
full of the finest fish, and in exchange carried
home every day, so much money, that she was
after all little comforted But she was COM
PEELED to put the money by, and liveon the spare
d t t at the c'llarer had provided. And while
sic VS. thus .bled Swanhida saw that
a nong all the old su rs VINO lnock"d az her in
her day of disgrace, there came one who always
approached her as OF old. with blushing rever-
ence and honoured her as much as ever, though
she was reduced to the condition of Il 6sll-wife
Her heart then soltened, and she understood the
worth Of love. Therefore, at the end Of three
years, she consented to marry this young knight
The produce of her marketing, in which the ia
ries had always helped her to success, amount
ed by that time to u vast sum, so that she had
no difficulty in obeying the rest of the directions
of the little cellarer, who had been made her
najor-domo by the fairy queen. To every one
OF her old suitors, rude as they had lately been,
in recognition of her own former rudeness she
sent many fair words and costly gifts. Blush
ing with maidenly humility and modesty, she
was led to the altar by the suitor who had lov-
ell her with true DEVOTION and to the friendly
fiaries who attended at her wedding she made
her last promise, which she kept faithfully. 1t
WAS never to ride any more Barbary horses, but
to amble on a palfrey as gentle lady should.

The ELIXIR OF LiFE.--In the days of chvalry,
when misty twilight rested upon the world
and mems minds roalued unfettcred through the
realms of fancy, there were many fairy tales
and fantastic fables received by the people as
true. Some of these were filed with poetic
beauty, and even in this unromantic age, they
are heard with interest, ard although no reali-
ty is given them, they often serve "to point u

was the, common belief, that far away in some
fountain OF fresh bright waters, of which
were a man to drink, he would never suffer from
sickness, nor SORROW, nor death. lie lived on
throughout all time in unchanging youth. The
sky was always bright above, and the earth
always green about him. If the old man tasted
it, the freshness of youth returned, and to the
frail maiden it impaired the bloom of beauty
and Of health. From green hill side it gushed
forth, and wandered through Aowery banks and
orange groves, over shining pebbles, through
climes all oloudless and softer than Arcadiar
summer, and was then lost in smooth and sill
very lake. There were many who believed til,
pleasing story, and long and weary pilgrimage
were made in quest Of the magic iount. Bu

pure religion, so long obscured, burst upon tn

The CALIFORNIA SNAKE BIRD.--Along the coast
of Southern California there exists singular
species of bird, generally called, on account OF
its well-known mortal aversion to all members
of the snake tribe, the " snake-bird.' tits not
a bird of prey, but lives entirely On grain, like
the gallinacea. When full grown, it measures
two feet from the tip of its beak to the end Of
its tail. The tail has four or five long feathers,
tipped with white. Its feet are furnished with
four toes, two in 'front.' and two behind, and all
ore guarded with sharp, ,needle-like claws. When
this bird finds rattlesnake-aad rattlesnakes
are to be found in great Numbers wherever the
ground is covered by the cactus plant-it imme-
diatelv proceeds, with the greatest caution and
dispatch, to gather the fallen cactus fruit and
drv lobss. and quietly enclose him to the height
Of foot or more-the spikes and spines Of the
rlant strong and sharp as needles, serving asan
;nsnrmountable barrier to the escape of the
snake. This being accomplished, the bird gath
ers with it's feet and claws the young cones Of
the mines, which are as hard and heavy as stones
and lowering over its enemy, lets them fall upon
the infuristed serpent, who, surrounded by
pr;ckles wherever he turns, is soon fully aroused
to the danger of his position. The bird con-
tinues to drop cone efter cone, until his foe is
exhausted, and then pecks the snake to death
with his beak.

The BEGINNING OF MoRMoNIsM Twenty eight
years ago, Joe Smith, the founder of this sect,
and Harris, his first convert, applied to the
senior editor of the Journal, thon residing in
Rochester, to print his Book of Mormon, then
just Transcribed from the " Golden Bible, which
Joe had found in tho cleft of rock, to which
he had been guided by vision.
We attempted to read the first chapter, but it
seemed such unntelligihle jargon that it was
thrown aside. Joe was tavern ider in the
village of Palmyra. Harris, who offered to pay
for the printing, was substantial farmer Dis
gusted with what we considered weak inven-
tion of an imposter, and not caring to strip
Harris of his hard earnings, the proposition was
declined.<
The manuscript was then taken to another
printing Office across the street, from whence,
in due time, the original Mormon Bible made
its advent.
Tan trees from little acorns grow.'
But who would have anticipated from such
bald, shallow, senseless imposition such world.
