Fairy Tales Utilised For The New Generation.

and she will fight the Avhole world for him ! AVhat does not this arid daily life of ours oAve to the tenderness and truth , the fairness and forbearance of women ? AVhen others are loud in blame she is silent ( not always , says old Jorum , not she ) , when others defame she Avill praise ; when

others desert she stands her ground , and still as ever to-day , to-morrow , in the great whirligig of life she is "faithful among the faithless found ! " It is that ' •idealism" of Avoman Avhich gives often such a charm to existencelends such a

, 23 oetry to life , makes such an oasis in the desert for the weary traveller , sheds such brightness on the Avorld itself , and offers such hopes and happiness to dreary and downcast , and desponding man ! The amiable and beautiful Princess is

but a type of a reasonable and loving womanhood , always taking a pleasant view of things ; just as " Riquet , " is a very good shadow of the free , easy , but not overscrupulous young man , so talkative , and ,

Ave must add , so ill-posted up to-day . Such is my moral , is it good for anything 1 I hardly knoiv , myself And if any of my readers think that they can better explain , or more fairly apply "Riquet and the Tuft , " let them do so , as , at any rate , the

moral is a good one , and they cannot go very far wrong I think , that my fair readers of every age will agree Avith me —• that the best explanation of this fairy tale is to be found in the following little imperfect illustration . If a young Avoinan

has a good offer from an eli gible young man , she is to accept it , as in nine cases out of ten , " love , after all , comes after matrimony , " and such is the extreme amiability of the woman , that she is ahvays disposed to make every allowance for her own dear

"Riquet , " even when to the outside Avorld he may sometimes seem the most uncouth , or the least good-looking , or the very worst tempered of men ! AVhat a thing it is for us that Ave have the women to keep us straig ht in this very dusty , very dirty , and very unsatisfactory Avorld !

The Musical Enthusiast.

I never meet him but he stops , And making me attend , Goes through some lengthy opera , From overture to end . Unconciously perhaps I hum Some popular refrain

, He spots a fault—and begs that I AVill whistle it again , And then launches forth into A declamation long On miniums , crochets , semibreves , And other parts of song .

He once inveigled me to go To the Opera Comique , And gave throughout the eA'ening An audible critique . He hummed the airs Avith Avagging head , And beat time with his stick , Till even of the "Love-sick Boy " I got completely sick .

He ' s always knowing better than The people on the stage , And works himself up sometimes to A fearful fit of rage . He gives at home to bosom friends Small musical affairs , AVhere he does all the business , and The others snooze on chairs .

A harmless sort of man he is : One can ' t lay at his door A graver charge than that he is At times a fearful bore . Men dive down streets if him they see Knowing full Avell their fate : And I—but here he comes ! I must Be off , ere 'tis too late .
