C JV.m the Fairy Booh of All Xationi. By EJouard Zrtiboblaye, Alemler of te Inttitute'nf frmntt. Trov-latt l It JrJ L. 2?eo(A. Pullitltd ijf liar per ud ErvtUer. y HON AKD FINE! A FAILY TALL ILITTATT. Ooce upon a lime there bred is Brit tany a noble lord, who was called the Baroa kerver. His manor house was tne . t . t . : t. roof and walls, covered wita carving, that looked at a distance hie a viae clirning ever an arbor. Oa the first floor six stained glass balcony windows looked out on each side toward the rising and and the setting can. In the morning; when the baron, mounted ca his dun mare, went forth into the forest, follow ed by his tall greyhounds, he caw at each window one of his daughters, with prayer-book in hand, praying for the house cf Kerver, and who, with their fair curls, and blue eyes, and clasped hands, might have been taken for six Madonnas ia a bright azure niche. At evening, when the sua declined and the Baron returned homeward, after riding round bra dominions, he perceived from afar, ia the windows looking toward the west, eix sons, with dirk locks and ea- cle gaze, ih.8 hope and pride cf the fam ily, that might have been taken for six sculptured knights at the portal of the church. For tea leagues around, ai! who wished to quote a happy father and a powerful lord named the Baron Ker rer. The cas'.le had but twelve windows, and the baroa had thirteen children. The last, the one that had no place, was a handsome boy cf thirteen, by the name of Yvon. As is usual, be was the best be loved. In the morning, at his departure. and at evening, at his return, the baron always found 1 von waiting upon the threshold to embrace hira. With his hair falling to his waist, his graceful fig ure, his willful air, and his bold bearing, Yvoa was beloved by all the Bretons. At twelve years of age he had bravely attacked and killed a woolf with an axe, which had won him the name of "Fear less." He deserved the title, for never was there a bolder heart. One day, when the baroa had etaid at home.and was amusing himself by break ing a lance with his squire, Yvon enter ed the armory in a traveling dress, and, bending one knee to the ground. My lord and father," said he to the baron, "I come to ask your blessing. The house of Kerver u rich ia knight mm as ana nas no need cf a child ; a is time for me to seek my fortune. I wish toco to distant countries to try my strength, and to make myself a came." You are right, Fearless, replied the iiaron, more moved tnan be wished to appear. '-I will not keep you back ; I have no right to do so ; but you are very young, my child ; perhaps it would be better for you to stay another year with us. ' . "I am sixteen, my father; at that age you had already fought one of the prou dest lords cf the country. I have not forgotten that our arms are a unicorn rip ping up a lion, and cur motto Onward ! I do not ivish the Kervers to blush for their last child." Yvoa received his father's blessing, shook hands with his brothers, embraced his sisters, b:d adieu to all the weeping vassals, and set out with a light heart. Nothing stopped him on his way. A river appeared, he swam it; a mountain, he climbed it ; a forest, he made his way through it with the sun for a guide. On the Kerver! he cried, whenever he met with an obstacle, and went straight for ward in spite of everything. For three years he had been roaming over the world ia search of adventures, sometimes conquering, sometimes con quered, always bold and gay, when he received an offer to go and' fight the heathen of Norway. To kill unbelievers and to conquer a kingdom was a double pleasure. Yvon enlisted twelve brave comrads, freighted a ship, and hoisted from the mainmast a blue standard, with the unicorn and motto of the Kervers. The sea was calm, the wind fair, and the night serene. Yvon, stretched on the deck, watched the- stars, and sought the one which cast its trembling light on his father's castle. All at once the vessel struck upon a rock ; a terrible crash was heard; the sails fell like tinder ; and an enormous wave burst over the deck, and swept everything away. 'On the Kerver '." cried Yvon, as soon as his head appeared above the wa ter; and he began to swim as tranquilly as jf he had been bathing ia the lake of the old castle. Happily the moon was rising. Yvon saw, at a little distance, a black epeck among the silvery waves it was land. He approached it, not without difficulty, 'and finally succeeded in gain ing a foothold. Dripping wet, exhaust ed witn fatigue, and out of breath, he dragged himself oa the sand ; then, without more anxiety, said his prayers, and went to sleep. In the morning, on awakening; Yvon tried to discover in what country he had been cast. He saw ia the distance a house as large as a church, windows fif fy feet in height. He" walked a whole day before reaching it, and at last found himself ia front of aa immense door, with a knocker so heavy that it was im possible for a man to lift it. Yvon took s great stone and began to knock. "Come in V cried a voice that sounded like the roar f a bull. At the same instant the door opened, and the little Breton found himself ia the pres ence of a giant not less than forty feet ia height. 'What is your came, and what do want here ? said the giant, taking up Yvon betweea his thumb and finger, and lifting him from the ground so as to see better. I 'My name is Fearless, and I am seek- i ing my fortune," answered Yvoa, look ing at the tame time at the monster with ! aa air of defiance. j Well, brave Fearless, your fortune is made." said the giant in a mocking tone. "I am in need of a servant, and I will give you the place. You can go to work directly. This is the time for leading my sheep to the pasture ; you may clean the stable while I am gone. X ihe.ll give you nothing else to do," ad- most ceaumui in we rroD. "boiiinff bt re was no fire on the a crear Gothic castle, with a rromed i ded he, bursticg into a laugh. "You see that I ao a good master. Da your taslv end, alove all things, chn't prowl about tha house, cr it. wih cost you ycur iife."'i I r- r i 1 I . . "Certainly I have a good master; the work is cot hard," thought Yvcn, when ike giant waa gone. "J - have plenty cf time tosweejthe stable. , What shall I cb ia the meantime to amuse myself? Shall I look about the house 1 . Since I am forbidden to do so, it must be because there is something-to see." He entered the first room, and saw a large fire-place, ia which a great pot was hearth. What does this mean ?" thought Y von ; "There is some mystery here." He cut off a lock of his hair, dipped it into the pot, and took it out coated whh copper. . Oh, chi cri&l he, "this is a new kind of soup ; anybody that swallows it must have an iron-clad stomach." He went into the next room; there, also, a pot was suspended from a hook, and boiling without fire. He dipped a lock of hair into it, and took it out all coated with silver. "The broth is not so rich as this in the Kerver kitchen," thought he, but it may have a better taste." t Upon this he entered the third room. There also a cot was suspended from a hook and boiling without fire. Yvon dipped a lock of hair into it, and took it cat coated with cold. It shone so bright ly that it 141'ght have been mistaken for a sunbeam. ' Gooa!" cried he. "In our country the old women have a saying, "Every thing gets worse and worse;" here it is just the contrary, everything gets better and better. What shall I find in the fourth room, I wonder many be diamond soup f He pushed open the door, and saw something more rare than precious stones This was a young woman of such mar velous beauty that Yvoa, dazzled, fell oa his knees at the eight. "Unfortunate youth: cried she, rc a trembling Toice, "what are you doing here?". "1 belong to the house," answered Yvon: "the giant took me into his ter vice this morning. "His servicel" repeated the young' girl. "May Heaven preserve you from it!" i "Why so?" said Yvon. "I have good roaster ; the work is cot hard. The stable once swept, my' task is finish ed." Yes, and how will you set to work to sweep it ?" said the lady. If you sweep it in the usual way, for every forkful of dung that you throw out of the door tea will -come in at the window. JJut I will tell you what to do. Turn the fork and sweep with the handle, and the dung will instantly fly cut of itself." "I will obey," said Yvon ; upon which he sat down by the young girl aud be gan to talk with her. She was the daugh ter of a fairy, whom the wretched giant had made his slave. Friendship soon springs up between companions in mis fortune. Before the end of the day Fi cette (for that was the lady's name) and Yvon had already promised to belong to each other, if they could -escape from their abominable master. The difficulty was to find the means. Time passes Quickly in this kind of talk. Evening was approaching, when Fmette sent away hercew friend, advis in? him to sweep the stable before the giant came heme. Yvoa took down the fork, and attempt ed to use it as he had seen it done at his father's castle. He soon had enuugh of it. In less than a second there was so much dung ia the stable that the poor boy knew not which way to turn. He did as Fine tte had bid him, he turned the fork and swept with the handle, when behold ! in the twinkling of an eye, the stable was as clean as if co cattle had ever entered it. The task finished, Yvon seated him self oa a bench before the door of the house. As soon as he saw the giant com ing he lolled back in his seat, crossed his legs, and began to eing one of his native airs. "Have you cleaned the stable ?" asked the giant with a fiown. "Every thing is ready, master," ans wered Yvon, without troubling himself to move. "I am going to see for myself," howl ed the giant. He entered the stable grumbling, found everything in order, and came out furious. You have 6een my Finette," cried be ; "this trick did cot come from your own head. 'What is myfinette ?" asked -Yvcn, opening his mouth and shutting his eyes. Is it one of the animals that you have in this country ! Show it to me, master. "Hold your tongue, fool !" replied the giant ; "you. will see her sooner than you want to." The next morning the giant gathered his sheep together to lead them to ihe:- pasture ; but, before setting out, he or dered Yvcn to go in the course cf the day ia search of his horse, which was turned out to 'graze oa the mountaia. "After that," said he, bursting into a laugh, "you caa rest all day long. You see that I am a good master. Do your task ; and, above all things, don't prowl about the house, or then I will cut Your head off." : '. ' , Yvoa winked bis eyes as the giant left "Yes, you are a good master," said he, between his teeth. "I understand your tricks; but, in spite of your threats, I I shall go into the house and talk with your Finette. It remains to be seen whether she will cot be more mine than yours," He ran to- the young girl's room. Hurrah!" cried lie; "I have nothing to do all dh.y but to go to the mountain af ter a horse." "Very well," said Finette ; "how will yoa set to wcrk to ride him?"-'- "A fine question, ' returned Yvon. 'As if it was a difficult thing1 to ride a horse ! I fancy that I have riden worse ones than this." "It is not so easy as you think," re plied Finette ; "but I will tell you what to do. Take the bit that hangs behind the stable door, and. when the animal rushes toward you breathing fire and smoke from his nostrils, force it straight between his teeth ; he will instantly be come gentle as a lamb." . to bx coyxxjrciD.J Printers' CcmmnSciezts. - Thou (especially the ladies) shah lore the printer, for he loreth you buchly. .

An Indiana paper gives the fcllowing essay on "The Ox," just as it came from the pen of its young contributor : "Oxen is a very slow animil, they are good to brake ground up. i wood draiher have horses if they didn't have kolick, which they say is wind collected in a bunch, which makes itdangerser to keep horses than an - ox. if there was no horses the people 'wood have to wheal thare wood on a whenlbarow. it wood take them two or three days to -wheal a cord a mile. Cows is useful to. i have herd soin say that if tbay had to be to ther or an- ox thay wood be a cow. But I think when it cum to Bare their tits pulled of a cold mornin thay wood wish thay, wasnt. for oxen dont generally have to raise calves, if i bed to be enny i wood drather be a buffer. But if i cood ent be a heffer and hed to be both i wood be an ox. J An exchange relates an incident of recent occurrence which illustrates very forcibly the danger of attempting to squeeze the hand of a young lady, par ticularly if there 'is a third person near. A youDg lady who had several admirers, was at a party the other evening, and felt ia with two admiring swains. While sitting in the back part of the room, with both of her lovers, each of her admirers concluded to slip his hand under the shawl, and try what effect squeezing would have. He went for it and succeeded. Great iay, how happy he was. He squeezed and she squeezed apparently. He felt glorious all over, and she eviden tly felt glorious too. After quite a joy ful time spent in that way,' the lady threw back her shawl, and revealed to the little crowd standing near, our two youths squeezing one another's hands most lovingly. It don't do to say 'squeeze' to either of thenv since. The -Superior Court of Cincinnati decided recently that a . newspaper publication , the withdrawal of a mem ber of a banking firm, mailed to a custo mer of the bank, was not a' sufficient notice to discharge the retiring partner from liability where debt had accrued against the bank after his withdrawal. As this decision will apply to a mercantile as well as banking firm, it may be well enough for our business men to make a note of the fact. A raw Irishman went into a ret taurant, and was asked by the waiter what he would have? "why, whiles to ate, av coorse," was the reply. A plate of hash was placed before hira. "Wot s that?" demanded Mickey. "That's wh iles," was the answer. Mickey eyed the compond suspiciously for some time. and ansiiy exclaimed: "Bejabers, the man that chawed that can ate it!" Drs.
