MOT!H AND RUST.
A CHRISTMAS STORY.
BY LOUISE E. CHoLLET.

1t was all brought about by the
kings spectacles; and whether he
but, in the first place, you are to know
that i'll the creek running through the
Oatskili Glove is a fat stone, planted
slanting- wise in the bed of the stream,
from under which you hear continu-
ally discontinued. grumbling voice,
sometimes like this: "Wabble! wabble /!
wabble !'-being, in fact, a respectable
old water goblin, who has had his
trials, who tells his story all day long
to the frogs and the fishes, and who
one day told it to me.
This old grumbler had four sons,
three of whom were steady going,
well-to-d do brooks-the first being in
the violet growing business, the second
a scene-maker, while the third had
hired himself out to a woolen-spinner,
but Steme, the youngest, had all his
days been a care and Vexation 10 his
father. He had all the antic tricks Of
his cousins, the frogs and the mists,
and the tickle disposition of his mother,
who was of the Fire family One
moment he drew himself out the
length of a giant, as if be had been so
much gutta-percha; the next he made
himself so small that you lost him
altogether. Now he sang, roared,
pulled, beloved, shrieked and whistled,
until the family were wild with his
noise. A little after he was gone
him; and never any two days alike,
except, in fact, that he was at all
times idle and useIess-until one fine
morning his father, being utterly out
of patience, hustled out of fairy-land
with: "See here, my Lao ii is time you
sought your fortune!"
cit is very odd," said Stame to him
sell. Il am sure l cOu.d do something
if there were not some mistakes some
where" and coming just then to
house which had on the door-plate the
words, "Wisest Man" he rang the bell,
thinking, perhaps, the question could
be settled there; but the Wisest Man
only shook his head.
IF you could have been of any use,
somebody would have discovered 1T be-
fore" said he.
So Steme Travelled on till he came to
the court of the king, where there was
a great hue bub; and as no one would
pay the least attenrl0n, Steme grew
sulky, and, coiling himself up, hid away
in the tea kettle
Now, if anybody wants me, let
them find me" said he; and you would
never have known that he was there,
unless by the way the kettle cover clat-
tered now and then.
But, as [ said, the court was in a
hubbub, because of the kings specta-
Giles; and whether he had changed
them at the tailor's, where ne had or
dered the trimming for the Lord High
Fiddlestick's green satin gown. or at
the jewelers., where his crown was be-
ing mended, or at the grocer's, where
he had stopped for a mug of ale, his
