THE TRAIN OF GOLD.

Gold is a sort of railway train
That takes us fast or slow
Der pleasures height and sorrow
plain,
Through happiness and woe;
And speeds the coarse and superfine
The agile and the lame,
Along it's grim, ensanguined line
Through good and evil name.
Conductor Greed directs the train
With heart-strings as the cord,
And mirage-like the siren Gain
Allures the sOrdId horde,
AS needless of the swelling walls
OF humankind it starts
And speeds along on icy rails
Spiked down to human hearts
Der rosy beds and thorny fields,
Through fragrance and decay,
1t traverses and never yields
1t has the right of way
But opens wide its throttle black.
Regardless of the means
Provoked along its may track,
Laid on a bank of bones!
Along the route poor humankind,-
Crushed bits of breathing clay
ImplOring line the ditch behind
Or dot the blOOd-marked way,
While speeding by, the giIded train
No plant of sorrow hears,
But passes on through human pair
Upon the steam of tears !

Stephen went on until he came to q
great lake. Upon the bank of this tive
fishermen were quarreling. ees
"That fish is mine. said one Of them ;
1t was caught In my net" allsv
"Without my boat what good would
your net have been to your" said the
other. "Give me this fish; the next one
caught will be yours"
mo, will not wait"
Stephen approached and said: "Seil
the fish to me, then you can divide the
money"
The fishermen consented and Stephen
gave them all the money he had for the
fieh, which he then threw back into the
water Then he heard it say:
Thanks. II you are ever in need Of
me will come to YOU"
Where are you going?" asked the
fishermen of Stephen.
II am seeking for the old king, my
master, the princess with the golden
locks, and do not known where to find
her."
"You are nearly at your journeys end |;
she is the daughter of the king of the is-
land which you see there on the lake.
Every morning she combs her long locks
and they make the clouds and the water
glisten like gold. We will tow you to
the shore of the island. But take care
that you make no mistake. The king
has twelve beautiful daughters; one
alone has the golden locks, and they will
all appear before you with their heads
covered with a veil"
Stephen presented himself before the
sovereign of the isle and requested the
hand of the princess of the golden locks
for his master, the old king.
Very well, said the monarch. II
will give her to you if in three days you
accomplish three tasks. Tomorrow you
shall commence"
The next day he said: "My daughter
Zolotaska has magnificent necklace OF
pearls, which, by the string breaking, are
lost in the grass; find them all, without
leaving single one."
Stephen searched the field from morn
ing until noon.
"Ah~ he cried, "if my ants were only
here!
Here we are" cried innumerable little
voices, and the ants began to run in all
directions. In a few moments they

"Give me back my hairs; they belong
to me; l saw them fall first when the
princess combed her hair" and he tried
to take them from his companion.
In the struggle one fell on the ground
with a metallic sound. The king turned
to Stephen and said:
"You know you are condemned to
death for disobeying my orders, but
will pardon you if you will go in search
of the princess with the golden locks
and bring her back with you so that |
may marry her."
stephen, of course, glad to escape SO
easily, consented, but pursued his way
sadly. Where to look for the princess,
and when found how to persuade her to
marry the old king-how accomplish
this? 81 will trust to luck" he said, as
he went on.
Passing through forest he saw a pile
of brushwood which some one had set on
fire. Near it was an ant hill which was
in danger OF being burned.
"Save us T. cried the ants, cor we shall
perish" Stephen extlnguished the fire
with some moist earth.
Thanks" said the ants. "Some day
we may be of service to you"
A little further on Stephen saw two
young crows crying at the foot Of pine
tree. SHelp US, they said, 1--WE are too
small to find food for ourselves. If you
do notgive us something to eat we will
die"
At that moment a huge panther sprang
from O thlcket. growing at Stephen, who
drew bis sword and buried it into the
animals heart. "There is q good meal
foryoN" he said TO the little crows, and
they replied:
ION, thank you. When you are in
trouble we may perhaps be able to rem.
dtyoua service"

brought a great quantity of pearls.
Stephen threaded them and was going to
tie the string when an old ant who had
been burned by the fire limped along with
one more. Stephen thanked his tiny
friends and carried the necklace to the
king, who declared it complete. The
next day he said
my daughter let a precious ring fall
into the lake. You must find IT,"
Stephen gazed into the waters Of the
lake, but they were so deep he couldn't
see the bottom.
"Oh~ he said, ''if my fish were only
here"
"Here 1 am, replied silvery voice ;
"what can do for you?"
Il want the ring the Princess Zolo-
taska lost in the lake"
Plunging into the water, the fish re-
turned in an instant with the ring TO
Stephen, who gave it to the king.
"Now, said he to Stephen, II have
only one thing more to ask of you Go
seek 4 flask of the water of death and
flask os the water of life"
"Ahr' said Stephen, "where shall
find a flask of this marvellous water? II
my crows were only here."
"Here we are = cried the crows. "Wait
moment. You shall have them"
They were gone but short time and
returned with two TASKS.
Returning TO the palace, on the web.
he threw drop of the water of death
upon the spider and drop of the water
of life upon the fly, who immediately re-
vived and said to him:
'Without me you could not recognize
Zolotaska among her sisters. l will
point her out to you by alighting on her
should der"
When Stephen entered with his two
TASKS the king said:
"You have done well; l will permit
you to take my daughter to your master.
Come with me-"
The king led him into a vast hall, in
the middle of which stood long table.
and seated at this were twelve beautiful
young girls, wearing wells that COM
pletely concealed their hair. How could
he choose?
Suddenly he heard buzzing sound
the fly had came to his aid, and soon
rested on the shoulder of the fourth girl
Her veil fell and her golden locks fell
over her beautiful shoulders. Stephen
gazed in amazement. How lovely she
was How happy he would have been
had he been permitted to marry her.
But he could not forget his duty.
He conducted her to the king, his mas
ter. The old king looked at her with ad-
miration, and listened with emotion to
the story of Stephens adventures; then,
extending his hand, he said to him:
"For disobedience / condemned you to
death. l was wrong. You are brave
and faithful, and merit a reward. You
shall have 1t. I am too old to marry
this beautiful girl; she shall be your
wife. have no children; you shall be
my son and my SUCCESSOR. 4"
The happy Stephen married the prin-
cess Of the golden locks, and after the
kings death mounted the throne, and all
his subjects loved him.

publicly announced that any one who
would reveal to him any new science
would be magnilicently rewarded. Men
came from all directions, who pretended
to know marvellous things, but all proved
to be without merit. poor woman
called one day with little basket on
her arm. The guard refused her en-
trance. but finally yielded to her entrea-
ties. When presented to the king she
said: II have husband who is unable
to work and several feeble children un-
able to earn a living. A good fairy pitied
me and made me present, which | wish
to give you, and for which, she said, you
would pay me we'll"
AS she spoke she drew from the basket
a pretty llttleIserpent with diamond eyes,
a head green as grass, the rest of the
body blue as the sky. "If you will have
this serpent cooked and eat the whole of
it, said the woman, ''you will be the
sole possesor of q wonderful science.
The poor woman's honest appearance
80 impressed the king that he did not
wait for the result of the experiment,
but ordered large sum of money to be
given her. Then he called an officer for
whom he had the greatest affection and
said to him:
'Stephen, l have strange but most
important order to give you, which you
must execute with great care. You will
have this serpent roasted by my head
cook; see TINT no one tastes It, and when
it Is done bring 1t to mc-understand?
If any one tastes ii he shall die"
sOh! oh r. thought Stephen death
for so small a matter. There must be
some mystery. will find it out.
So as he brought in the serpent he
placed his finger on it and slyly slipped a
small piece into his mouth. That mo-
ment, as he entered the hail. whose win
dows were open, he heard the birds talk
ing among themselves and relating the
news of the day.
After dinner the king mounted his
horse to take a ride, and Stephen nc
companied him. In the midst OF n vast
plain stephens horse suddenly gave II
great leap and said To his companion:
"Oh. how light [ feel! could leap
over that hill"
"And also" replied the kings horse
81 would willingly, but L carry an old
man on my back, who might fall and
break his neck"
"Let him fall You would then have
young man instead of an old one"
As Stephen listened he could not re-
strain laugh. That betrayed him to
the king. 1t was evident that he under
stood the language of animals, evident
also that he must have tasted the ser
pent. VeXed at this discovery and un.
easy at the disposition of his horses, the
king returned to- the city.
AS he alighted from his horse mt the
palace gates two birds flew toward him /;
one held in his beak three golden hairs,
the other pursued him crying
