A CHAD'S STORY, WHICH GROWN UP PEOPLE MAY READ, IF THE.Y CHOOSE^ On ono side of tho golden fence was a garden, on the other, a wide common.? The children who lived on ono sido play ed among roies and lilies, or ,kept play houses in pretty arbors, 01 sailed their little boats in the waters pf a fountain; the children who lived on tho other had H?ne but wild flowers, and played at housekeeping in hollow trees, or made mud pics for amusement. Some ofdhes'o last were forced to gq barefoot, got very little to cat, and had rather a hard time; on the other hanQ, sortie of the children who lived on the garden side of the fence were kept very strictly, made to do long tasks which gave thorn the headache, obliged to walk up and down particular paths 'for exercise, instead of playing about as they liked, and not allowed to. soil their hauTls or tear their 'silk and I velvet clothes; tliej1 fibber dreamed of anything so pleasant its making mud-pics. On.the'whole, I do not know whether tho children who lived on one side lind a very much better time, as.a general thing, than those who lived on the other. . There were two children who once played in the garden together who had indeed the very best times. They w?re a little boy and a little girl named Fred- | crick and Helena. They wero allowed j to make mud-pies, as well as to enjoy all tho other amusements which only the children who lived on that side could partake of, and they wero as happy as they could bo, for a while ; but when the father of Frederick died, and his mother moved over to the other side of the fence to live, the poor boy was obliged to give up all tho pleasures he bad been used to. "What he.minded most, was being separated from Helena who was also much distressed at parting from him.? For time after, they still tised to meet and play together, although they were on different sides of the fence; Helena would hand flowers through tho bars to Frederick, and he would givb her in re turn, pretty stones he bad picked up in the brook. Olio day the gate of the garden fence, which was usually kept locked, was by some chance left open, and Helena called to Frederick to come in and play on the garden side ; but he had not been there many minutes, when a great rough po liceman came up and asked him what he was doing there; then although he kick ed and struggled, and Helena cried and begged that he might be allowed to stay, Frederick was picked up and put outside again, and the gate was locked. "Never mind, Helena," he cri^d, "J am going to climb over tho- fence ami conic back to you." I "Oh 1 I am afraid it is too high for you to climb" sobbed Helena; and so indeed Frederick found it; yet he per severed in the attempt for some time. ? "You bad better give up trying poor child," said at last an old 'woman who was sitting clo.se by under a little stall, selling apples and gingerbread ; "even if yo? cot)Id get to the*'top of the fence, you could not climb over the spikes there." Frederick looked up and saw tho loug sharp-pointed spikes shining in tho sun. ? "Some people have climbed over them/ havn't they ?" said he. "Why should not I." "For every one who gets over by climb ing, ten are lamed for life, in making the attempt," said the old woman. "I have have seen oho man who got hung to death on those spikes." "Is there no other way for mo to get in?" asked Frederick. [ "Some people have squeezed themselves between the bars/' tho applo woman an swered ; "but to bo abio to do that they must starve for a long time, and even thou few can make themselves small enough. You might do it in time, if you arc willing to starve yourself." . "Is there no other plcasantcr way?" sighed Frederick. "Ob, if you como to that," said she, ?1?<w *? r '-tc-ry of a, m*a v. . > gut over on a flying horse." "That would bo delightful, "said the littlo boy: "Do you think thero is any chance of my being able to do tliaj.?" "Not the least in the world," (die an swered. "I don't believe tho story is truo, myself, .though I told, it to you; but if such a thing ever did happen, it Was, long ago when tho fence was not as high as it is now. No, child,"if you take my advico, you will-put all idea of got ting over the fenco out of your head and stny contented where you are. It is pleasant enough on.thissido if you would only think so." "But I want to got over to play with Helena/' said Frederick*, "and I mean to try and pull down the fence if I. can't get to her in any other way." "You are not strong enough, aud if you j were, it wouhj be a great pity to pull it. down," said tho sensiblo old Woman ; for then thero would be no garden at all; it would bo all common, and we on this bide would be no better off than wo arc now. It does not hurt us, for people on tho other sido of tho fence to have their garden, and, for my pnrt, I don't grudge it to them. Besides it evert does us good that there is a garden ; it makes our peo ple industrious and gives them an object to work for; for every man hopes to be able to get inside at last.' "How ?" said Frederick. "Why, of course, the regular way is to get a goltlen key to unlock the gate; that is the uext best way to get in, after heilig born there," said tho old Woman. "Apd how can I get a golden kc}' ?" asked Frederick. "Perhaps you may find one, if you are ' lucky" said the apple woihnh. "I ?new j I an old man who picked up a key some one had dropped, after b6' bad all his! life been keeping his* eyes on {he ground J as he walked in tho hope of finding one. Poor soul 1 he got littlo pleasure^rom.if. after all ; for he was so fixed in the habit of- gazing on the ground -and fumbling with his stick, that, after there was ito uso for him to do it any longer, he could not give up the trick ; he walked up and dewn tho pleasure ground doing nothing else, and might just as well have been back on tho common?indeed better, for then he would uot have made himself the laughing stock of nil the lino people.1" "I should not wish to bp like him," said Frederick. "I want to get in before I am too old to play with Helena.** ''Besides, after all, you might not find a key* remarked his adviser. "No, if your heart is really set on getting over, you had better set to work in the regular way, by going to the gold-diggings until you have scraped enough metal together to have a key made of the right pattern; It is the surest and most respectable way for you to get back inside Ihejgnrden." f Frederick determined to follow this advise; so he bade farewell for tho pre sent to Helena who put her small white baud through tho bars to shake his brown one, then he set off for the gold-diggings. It took him a lung time to learn tho nrt of mining; and still longer to collect gold enough to make a key ; but at Inst he succeeded in having one made, with which ho left the gold mines in high spirits. Alas! it proved too small to unlock tho gate of the golden fence. lie determined to go back to the mines tj work till he had enough gold to make a llirgcr kcy; but he found it very tire* some wttrk. He wflfc notv grown td ben ureatboy; sometimes he grew diseouragod when he thought how old he was and yet how little progress he had made towards his wishes. "Little Helena will be too old to pla^' with mo when I get back in tho garden at last," ho thought; "besides/ who knows if she has not forgotten" me by this time?" One night he dreamed of the man who had got over tho fence on tho Hying horse; all the next day he could think of nothing else as he worked in his ni'jd hole. "If I had a Hying horse, all this would not be necessary," he cried at last, Hing ing down his pickaxo and shovel in dis gust. "You think so, my fine follow; ?" Baid a voico closo by him. Looking up, Frederick perceived a young man .who held by tho bridle a beautiful winged horso. ''What a splendid creature!" cried Frederick, fixing his eyes on the horse's ? ?-?, ? j ? ?.. i . ? ' ! graceful limbs,' waving' man?,' flashing eyes, quivering nostrils, und above all, his magnificent white wings.- \' "I am glad you like him," ? said tho young man,?who was no other than Apollo himself* "The truth is I have taken a fancy to you, and have brought him as a present for you." . While Frederick, scarcely nblo to sffeak for joy, was- faltering in his thanks, Apollo gave him directions nbout .the management of Pegasus, as tho horse was called. . "He is not very easily guided, until one is accustomed to his ways" said he. "At first you had better avoid using the wthip and spur or pulling too hard on the bridle} and I would advise you never to coax him, as it is of no use. . As soon as Frederick was fairly on his back, Pegassus started off as fast as ho coukl go. . "Take cttre," Apollo shoftted after him; but he was already out of hearing. Frederick kept his sent very well ; for the m?tioTf of Pegfts?s* we're both easy and buoyant, and so long as was allowed Uvfollow his own fancy, be was in high good humor with his new master. Fred erick at first made no attempt to guide liim, but allowed him sometimes to skim turou^h the air like a swallow, sometimes to fly iu graceful circles like a hawk, now to pace for a while up and down a quiet lajJCj then to soar np hi.her than the Clouds : but at last he remembered the golden" fence and instantly pulled the bridle and directed the course of Pegasus towards it. He was delighted to find that the winged horse [obeyed him very well, going etrdight in the desired di rection. "I wonder why Apollo gave mo so dfifey * c^dli.ons !'r .B?id Frederick. "I Pmd him very easily managed." !$^hck-truth watfthat ^egasqs, who .wo?. very fond of his own way, had not the smallest idea df obeying his liett master without a struggle ; lie chose to go as Frederick wished now, because be had taken it iuto his head to flay him a trick. When he reached flic ?oldc? fence, in stead of taking a flying leap' ?ver it, he planted his fore-feet together' on the ground and refused to stir another step. A crowd of people who happened to be there looking on, began to laugh and jeer ai Frederick and his balking Pega sus. Frederick grew very angry and, forgetting Apollo's warnings, after be had tried coaxing and found it of no use, he struck Pegasus with a whip, and dug his spurs into his sides ; upon this, the winged horse snorted, plunged, reared, threw Frederick into tho mire ami was off like a fhihh of lightning. It took Frederick sohle time to get over the ct feets of his foolish passiom "Why did 1 not heed what Apollo said ?" he said to himself when several days had passed and he began to fear that Pegasus was lost to him forever, as he heard no more of him. "Aller all I might have been content with baying a winged horse to ride without trying to force him over tho goldon fence. I dare say Helena has forgotten mo by this time,?or perhaps she was one of those' ill-natured people who laughed as they witnessed my degradation. I will never give any ono cause to laugh again. No! if I can only find my Pegasus again, I will give up the idea of getting oyer tbe fence." Just then be beard a gentle neigh and saw the winged horse standing near. It seemed as if he wished to make peace with Frederick, for he approached him and rubbed his hose affectionately against his shoulder, however, when Frederick would have jumped tm his back, he bounded off a few steps, and they then had a sort of playful gamo together^ Frederick striving to mount, and Pegasus shying off jus^ as ho was on tbe point of doing so. At last Frederick addressed him in rhyme, as follows : '?Oli con*, sweet Peg, And lei iue mount once more, I bc# Thin tiraq I'll use no fretting bridle, No l>h nor Bpar nor coaxing idle* Wo. will not leap the golden fence, Hut thou Hhnlt bear inu Air from heuce.? thou shah bear me, at thine own sivcct Will, O'er field and forent. dale and hill, .

Whilst thou, anil I roam through the fields ? sidereeal, Tho! ii .cropping from tho pasturage ethereal, And 1 alighting spend long happy hours And in Klysian meadows pluck sjar-ilowcrs. This speech had a happy^ect on Pe gasus who condescended to ftljiiw his iua3 ter to mount him, and then took his flight | to tho starry region suggested. From this period tho winged horse and Fred crick began to grow tho best of comrades; gradually they learned to humor and understand each other so that what, one wished the other was always >yil'Uhg to j .do, and Frederick might now have per'-1 suaded'Pegasus to leap the golden fence; but the pleasure of horsemanship 'left him little time to think of anything else, and when he did remember Helena,' he reflected that after all Pegasu? was his best friend and ho ought not to risk los ing him again for the sako of one, w ho had probably long since forgotten her old playmate, but often wondered what had become of him, and whether he wanted to 6cc her. Oncday when. Frederick, after a long ride, was lying on the grass in a green meadow with Pegasus browsing near by,, a reverend old man who happened to be passing, spoko to him :* "Good-day, my t-on," said he. "Are you resting from work or from pleasure this fine rrforuirig ?" "From pleasure, father," answered Frederick; "I have just taken a charm ing ride on this animal of mine." i "A pleasure ride is a poor use to" put "s?feh ft" noble creature* ttf/' said the aged man': . " What would you** havo me use him for?'' nskVd* Frederick/'I. wodUVknotJ put him to plough or draw a cart^ his s.oirit is too high for such work." "I would have you fight the giants with him/' replied the old man ; "that is what he was given to you for." "JJut thero are no giants now-n-days," said Frederick. j "So people say who don't know what they are talking about," the old man answered; "but, believe hie, there are giants enough and they are more mon strous and harder to kill than ever they were iu the old days. Thero are giants wlu> lurk in woods and den?, in the -coun try, giants hiding in underground cellars in cities, giants with a hundred heads,-? atttl a hundred bauds too to fight, and a hundred feet to run away with,?giants who,- when they are felled to the earth, spring up, like the one Hurcules fought, as if they had derived new life from the contact, and giants whoso heads and limbs grow after they have been cut olT. Oh yes! tobe sure there are giants for those who arc brave enough to fight them." Now this was work very mttcli to Frederick's taste ; accordingly ho listened to the old man's instructions as to where j to find some of these giants and hew^hey wcre to be fought, he profited so well by what he heard, that although; as the old man told hinr, the giants now arc harder to kill than they were formerly, yet, with Pegn?us to assist him, he was able to kill two or three, and to Wound several others ; and all this made him quite fa mous. At last, however, a very crafty giant?his namo was Misanthropos, and 1 think he was a relation of that giaut Despair, that Great Heart killed?suc ceeded iu taking him prisoner in his sleep once; he shut hint tip in a high tower where poor Frderick passed many months in great misery. "Ah !" sighed he one morning as he looked out of a window of tho tower which his jailor happened to have left open, knowing that his prisoner would be dashed to peices if he leaped out, for it was a hundred feet to tho ground,? "Ah; if I had but a ladder or a ropef Just then he caught a glimpse of some thing that looked like a great White bird living high up in tho clouds. What should it be, but his faithful Pegasus?? As soon as ho perceived Frederick he turned three somersets in tho air for joy, 'and thou Hew stmight to tho window, close enough for Frederick to bo able to get on his back'without difficulty; and ..hiuhc ?mi his master firmly seated, tho winged horse soared swiftly up, far above the'Vlouds. , '"I wonder where he .means to alight^ said Frederick to himself ?s hg felt Po3 gasuB at length beginning to defend W wards the earth.
