A FAIRY CHRISTMAS TALE. THE STORY Or THE NOSES. Sly M. Edotturd I.aboulaye, the Eminent Fituih Philosopher, Publicist, audi Frlcud of America, TBAH8I.ATED BY MIBS MART L, BOOTS, OV W YOUK. Dedicatory Letter, 'To My Young Friends lu America:-Dear Children: Wlieu vou are large, and are study ing tbe plonoua history of your country, you will be told.tb.at on the other side ot the Atlantic there is on old country by the name of Frauce. You will also be told that almost a hun dred years ago, when your grandfathers were fighting tor their independence, it was in France that they touud sympathizing hearts and devoted hands. It was Irom France tbat tho friend of Wathlngtoncumu, the brave and noble Lafayette a name which also bclougs to the history of tbe United State. "Years have passed, and nothing has dis turbed tbe friendship of a century's growth between America and Frauce that friendship which you, my children, 1 am sure, will pre serve. And it is in order to keep up this mutual affection that I send you this tale, which has muted your young friends in France, and wbicb, I hope, will am use you also. He who witee it la not a stranger to your fathers and mothers; he was heart and soul with them lo the trials which they have nobly paised through. To-day he would esteem himself happy could he make you laueh, or dry up your tears; and nothing would touch him more than sometimes to think that over yonder, on the other side of the ocean, there were young gen tlemen and charming young ladies who forgot the hours in listening to tbe tales of their frien 1, the old Frenchman, Edouard Ladoulayb." Story of the Noses, E!At Dewitz, in the neighborhood of Prague, there once lived a rich and whimsical old farmer, who had a beautiful daughter. The students of Prague, of whom there were at that time twentv-Bvo thousand, often walked in the direction of Dewitz, and more than one of them oflered to lollow the plough, in hones of becom ing the son-in-law of the farmer. The first con dition that the cunning peasant sat on each new servant was this: "I eneac?e you," he would say, "for a year, tbat is, till the cuckoo sings the return of spring; but if, from now till then, you sy once you are not satisfied, I will cut oft the end of your nose. I give yon tbe same right over me," he added, laiighlnjr. And he did us he said. I'ragne was full ot students with the end of their nose glued on, which did not prevent an ugly scar, and, still loss, bad jokes. To return Irom the farm disfigured and ridiculed was well calculated to cool the warmest pasbion. A young man bv the name of Cora.ndn nnw. what ULgainly in manner, but cool, adroit, and cunning, which are not bad aids in making one's fortune, took it in his head to try the ad venture. The iarmer received him with hi usual eood nature, and, the bargain made, sent him to the field to work. At breakfast-time the other servants were called, but good care was taken to forget Coramla. At dinner it was the same. Coranda gave himself no tmnhle nhnni It. He went to the house, and while the farmer's wile was feeding the chickens, un hooked an enormous ham from the kitchen rafters, took a huge loaf from the cupboard, and ncuv uau w mo ufiu iu uuie hiiu tag.? a nap. "Are vou satisfied? 'cried the farmer, when be returned at night. TCrteclIV satisfied." sa d Cnranrifi? "t Vinvo dined better than you have." At that instant the farmer's wife rump rnnhina In, crying that her ham was gone. Coranda laughed, and the farmer turned pale. Are j ou not satisfied ?" asked Coranda. "A htm is onlv a ham." answered his mnator. "Such a trifle does not trouble mo." But nitnr that time be took good care not to leave the student fasting, bundav came. The farmer and his wife. Routed themselves In the wagoii to go to church, saying to Coranda, "It is your buaiuess to cook the din ner. Cut up the piece ol meat vou see vonder. with onions, carrots, leeks, and nnralpv. n.nd boil them all together in the great pot over the mi ueu me. "Very well," answered Coranda. There was a little pet dog at the farm-house bv the name of Parsley. Coranda killed him, skinned him, cut him up with the meat ana vegetables, and put the whole to boil over the kitchen fire. When the farmer's wife returned, she called her favorite; but, alas 1 she saw nothing but a bloody skin hanging by the window. "What have you done?" said she to Coranda. "What you ordered me, mistress. I have boiled the meat, onions, carrots, and leeks, and parsley in the bargain.'' "Wicked wretch !" cried the farmer, "had you the heart to kill the innocent creature that was the joy of the house f" "Are you not satisfied ?" said Coranda, taking his knite Irom bis pocket. "I did not say that," said the farmer. "A dead dog is nothing but a dead dog." But he siti bed. A few days after, the farmer and his wife went to market. Fearing their terrible servant, they said to him, "Stay at home, and do exactly what you see others do." "Very well," said Coranda. There was an old thed iu the yard, the roof of which was falling to pieces. Tne carpenters came to repair it, and began, as usual, by tear ing down the roof. Coranda took a ladder and mounted tbe roof of the house, which was quite new. Bhineles, lath, nails, and tiles, he tore ofl everything, and scattered them all to the winds. When the farmer returned, the house was open to the sky. "Villain !" said he, "what new trick have you played me ?" 'I bave obeyed you, master," answered Co randa. "You told me to do exactly what I saw otters do. Are you not satisied?" And he toon out bis tmre. "Satisfied 1" returned should I not be satisfied ? or tess will not ruin me." tho farmer; "why A lew shineles more But he sighed. Light came; the farmer and his wife said to each other that it was bieh time to get rid of this incarnate demon. As is always the case wih sensible people, they never did anything without consulting their daughter, it beine the custom in Bohemia to think that children alwajs have more wit thau their parents. "Father," said Helen, "I will hide in the freat pear tree early in tbe morning, and call ke the cuckoo. You can tell Coranda that the year Is up, since the cuckoo is singing; pay him. Hnd send him away." Early In the morning'the plaintive sry of the cuckoo was heard through the fields. Tbe farmer seemed surprised. "Well, my boy, spring is come," said he. "Do you hear tbe cuckoo sing ing yonder? I will pay you, and we will part good friends." "A cuckoo !" said Coranda; "that is a bird which I have always wanted to sec." He ran to the tree, and shook It with all his might, when, behold! a young girl fell from the blanches, fortanately more frightened than hurt. "Villain !" cried the farmer. "Are you not satisfied ?" said CorauJa, opeu iug his knife. ' Wretch ! you kill my daughter, and you think that I ought to be satisfied 1 I am furious. Begone, If you would not die by my band !" 'I will go when I ha vo cut off your nose," said Coranda. "I have kept my word, do you keep yours." "Stop I" crhd tho farruor, putliug his baud before bis luce;" you will surely let me redeem my no6e ?" "It depends on what you offer," said Coranda. "Will you take teu sheep tor it?" "No." "Ten cows?" "No; I would rather cut off your nose." Aud he sharpened his kuife ou the door-step. "Father," said Helen, "the fault was mine; it belongs to me to repair It. Coranda, will you tuke my band instead of my father's nose ?" "Yes," replied Coranda. "1 make one conditiou," said the young girl. "We will make the same bargain; the first ot us thut is not satisfied after marriage shuil have bis nose cut off bv the other." "Good," replied Coranda. "I would rather It was tbe tongue; but that will come next." Never was a finer wedding seen , at Prague, and never was there a happier household, t otanda and the beautiful Helen were a model pair. Ihe husband and wife were never beard i to cotuplain ot each other: they loved with drawn swords, and, thanks to their ingenious uurgain, loev Kepi ior loag ycurn uutu men love apq the'r noses.
