GREENBEARD AND SLYBODTS.
POPULAR TALE 0]? LITHUANIA
A certain merchant, .who , liveeindefinitely iii
city, was considerably annoyed when his lough-.
ter--,a very charming young person'-=-swore,
rather vowed, that she would never marry a man:
who was not blessed with a green beard. In vain
did he tell her the story of Illneheard, in order to ,
counteract her absurd predilection. She simply
replied that "Idne was notgreen," and he did not
feel himself justified in contradicting the truth of
the assertion,
„However, not only the young lady's father, but
likewise the captain of a band of robbers—four
and twenty strong-who,-as their friends said,
en livened--ns their enomies said, infested, a
neighboring forest—became acquainted with her
views on the subject of beards. Possessed of this
information—whether through the medium of the
milk Man or the baker, we cannot say—the cap
tain at once called his band together, and asked
the collected assemblage whether they happened
to know any dye that would render beards green.
An unanimous shout of `!Yes l” followed the que
rn, and was followed in its turn by a recipe ola i
versally eommended fo r the manufacture of the
desired cosmetic. Why the captain was less ac
complished in practical chemistry than any of
his four and twenty men, we do net pretend to
Mititia
Having given his beard the required color, the .t
gallant captain proceeds at once , to the city, and
as he was altogether a tine, well looking gentle
man, he was much admired by the passengers in
spite of his green beard. His conduct, when he
,reacheiLthe merchant's also was marked by the
most rigid observance of the laws of etiquette.—
First he asked leave of the father to .woo. the
daughter; whereupon the father, recollecting that
be had a great strapping expensive girl on his
hands, and could not find a suitor with a green
board every day, readily gave his consent; then
he addressed the lady herself, who, finding her
own ideas of human beauty actually realized be
fore her eyes, could not do Otherwise than accept
the offer of his hand.
Glowing with all the delight of a fortunate sui
tor, the captain took his departure, having told
the young lady which road she must pursue in
order to reach his farmhouse on the other side of
the forest. From this fact we conclude that wed
dings were by no means costly in ancient Lithu
ania, and that he who went to see a nuptial pro
cession must have been greviously disappointed.
The gentleman proposed, and if found suitable,
was accepted by the hilly and friends. He then
went home, aud, the lady went after him alone,
at her own convenience. Here was a saving in
bridesmaids , and white favors..
The merchant's daughter, now a bride, packed
up her trosscau—tkat is to say, caused a large
.cake . to be baked—and thus handsomely provid
ed, set off for the residence of her future lord.—
There was a bridge to be crossed, and then there
was a road on the left hand to be taken, which
would infallibly lead to the abode of domestic
bliss; at least so she had been told by the green
bearded Andonis, whose instructions, as far as
the bridge was.coneemed, proved to be thorough
ly . But, as for the road fte the ;left, the
only thing , that could-hi; called m read f atall was
a pathway, that led straight forward into the
midst of a thick forest, and grew -More' and, more

[Here our Lithuanian tale grows.so - rery,hor:

Their next act was to mince the female captive
into ridiculously small pieces, the first operation
being a detachment of her little finger.
"Oh," gasped the merchant's daughter; paral
yzed with horror.
"What's that ?" said the Captain.
"Nothing," said the bird, winking. at hi.l pro
tegee; and the robbers eontinued their . hideous
work.
No less thick in head than savages in heart,
these atrocious ruffians, instead of removing a
valuable Eng from the downed little finger, tC=
lowed finger and ring to roll together under the .

he loaded a wagon with barrels, in, eacth:tof which

bride had paid him a visit, and had made discov
eries so far froth pleasant, , that unless he would
forego her , stoiety 'altegether,he must contrive
some new device for her recovery.
The removal of the green beard proved suffiei
ent to prevent his recognition by -the merchant,
and be was allowed to put his barrelsin the yard'
while he himself received an invitation to dinner.
But the robbers in the barrels would not hold
their tongue's q a servant in the, establishment,
who overheard them, informed his master of their
loquacity, and the merchant accordingly engaged
four sturdy fellows to manage matters in the yard,
and two still more sturdy to sit at the table by
the disguised Captain. The produCtion of the
amputated finger in the course of 'the meal key
ed to the Captain that be wits discovered and this
incident was soon followed by atriairtph of the
sturdy fellows over him and his mon. They 'were

entirely abandoned her predilection for green
beards.

classical Wabash, conceived the idea of a visit to
the home of his progenitor in Kaintuck.
Ile did so—ranted round amongst the girls

ever. After the first joyful - greeting was over,
the injured B. thus addressed his truant sponse:

children all forlorn, as you did?"
"Well, Josh," raid Nancy, "that tbar tassel;

country, and incessantly repeated to them the
Spanish sentence—a canada. The French, who

• LA.CIL—The foreign journals report that the
reign of lace is restored in 'fashinitable circles
abroad, and never:since the days when "George
the Third was King" has lace been worn in such
profusion as - it is at the present time in Great
