ChO was WlsC Cuilu, anu ulu not pre-
tend to see the ady-bird until the woman
who attended upon the princesses had left
the room, and then she pointed it out to
her sister.
:'Lady-bird, said Annie, "will you 90
and tell the sad tale of our suferings? ?"
The lady bird understood her, and crept
up again to the window, when down
dropped horrible black spider, but the
little princess Leila, who was watching,
gave him such blow with her fan that
he lay dead; then away flew the pretty
lady-bird, even over the heads of the terri
hle dragons.
And whittier did she fly? To fairy
land-and there related the story of the
poor princesses and the cruel king.
Good little lady-bird," said the fairy
queen, las a reward for your services,
you shall hav3 happy home among the
pam leaves in fairy lahd and when you
roam about, we will watch over your
house and your children, so that they
shall never take fire and be burned in your
absence"
Beyond that wide river, or rather arm
of the sea, whore the ruthless shark pur-
sued the gold and silver fish, there was
another country. The king and queen of
that realm had an only son, who was dis
tinguished for his bravery and his virtue ;
and one night a fairy appeared to him.
prince Selin,," said the fairy, "rise
tomorrow at day-break, and travel alone
by the nearest road to the sea. There
you will find a boat-n it white rose
and silken ladder. The boat will carry
you across the sea to an old palace, where
two young princesses are imprisoned by
their uncle, y no has seized the crown, de-
claring they are dead. On reaching the
palace, with the magic rose in your hand
you may enter unobserved; and at SUM-
down, the dragons who guard the entrance
and the attendants whom the king has
placed there, will fall into deep slumber
which will last one hour; but be careful
not to exceed that time. Then, in re-
turning, by the aid Of the silkcn ladder
you can descend from the window. You
have courage, ard it is only to the brave
and the trae that the fairies entrust their
gifts; aud see, this is the likeness Of the
beautiful princess, who, if rescued, is des.
tined to become your bride"
Prince Selim then awoke, but the soft
dark eyes of Annie were still before him
they seemed to plead for the life and lib.
ertv of herself and sister. He resolved
to obey the fairy's command, and percciv,
ing the day about to dawn, dressed him
self and left the palace alone.
The fairy also appeared to Annie and
in her sleep showed her the form of Selim
She did not name it to Leila, but all day
thinking of the handsome Young prince
and wondered if, except in dream-land
they should ever meet.

So Annie. with sad smile, took hel
guitar and sung
