That which "a earth 10 the msss an
sicnt the lcas; durable, the most ad-
nire1, and the vors; treated: which
speaks without . voice and Is only useful
after it, death"
When the father hsd thus spoken, all
The suitors pondered awhile over the rid
die, AMI then vent in different directions
20 seek what had beer required of them.
Some retired into deep solitude, to medi-
tate on this great mystery; others went
from place to place, asking all whom they
net If they could tell them what ION
earth was the most ancient, the least dur
able, the most admired and the worst
treated; which speaks without voice,
and is only useful after its DEATH"
The passer-by laughed in their faces,
and went their way; and those who had
0anished themselves to solitude were
equally far from unraveling the mystery.
They rubbed their foreheads, pulled their
hair, and beat their heads; but they could
not make the desired truth come forth.
Some consulted the fortune-tellers, who
found themselves as embarrassed as the
iDquirers.
Who was in deep sorrow while the
young men made diligent searchi 1t
vas the beautiful Rosalbinc. She trem.
bled lest the secret should be discovered
by some one other than Masael, whom
she loved, and who loved her. II she
had known what it was that her father
required, she would not have hesitated to
impart it to her lover; but she was as ig-
norant as the others of the secret on
which depended her fate. As enc can
indeed imagine, Masael passionately
wished to discover the treasure; but he
did not shut himself up in some solitary
retreat; nor did he waste his time in
questioning the passer.by, or in consult
ing the magicians or fortune tellers. He
was good and honest boy, the son of a
poor widow, and he did not cease to work
. single day for the support of his moth
er; but at the same time he silently
sought to divine the happy secret.
Rosalbine's father received frequent
visits from his young neighbors, who
came, with an air of triumph, to offer
what they imagined to be the wedding
gift. The pretty one trembled and wait
ed, with her eyes fixed on her father, for
the fatal word, and only breathcd freely
after hearing the invariable reply
at is not that!" u|f ~ ga
AndIth lovers, after a most hunt Bile
obeisance to the ungrateful Rosalbine,
would retire with their gifts, and with sad

One day, while ;Masael was working in
the field, a magnificent butterfly alighted
near him and attracted his attention.
This butterfly was unlike any he had
ever seen. twas Of extraordinary size,
and had blue, hcaft.shaped wings, Dor
dered with red. On its head was kind

After giving the young man time to
admire it leisurely, it took flight and cir
eled four times around his head, as If to
salute him. The young villager, having
but one thought in his mind, addressed
the wonderful creature, and said:
