- THE EVEN NG STORY One of World-Famous Works of Literature The Crystal Globe. BY JACOB GRIM. Jacob Cari Grim. 1785-1863, was a Ger- an philologist and mythologist, author, ith his_brother, Wilhelm Carl, of the fa Mous “Grimm'’s Fairy Tale: ‘There were two lovers, both nobly Porn and beautiful, and passionately at- tached to each other. But they were unable to obtain the consent of the Young lady’s stepmother to their union, ‘Whose influence was all-powerful, which was the source of the deepest affiiction #o_both. Now it happened that there was an ©1d fortune teller who had access to the house, and soon, perceiving the cause ©f the lady's sorrow, she advised her thus: “Be comforted, fair girl, for what you have most at heart will yet be brought %o pass.” Happy at hearing these words, so boldly said, the lady inquired how she could assure her of that. “Why, young woman,” returned the old lady, “that is a gift, the gift of heaven, to see into future things, so that your destiny can no more be hid- den from me than many other affairs. *To convince you, I will not only tell, but I will show you everything so clear- Jy in a glass that you will have reason %o praise my art. Yet we must choose & time when your parents are from L‘lo\'fle. and then you shall see a won- er.” The young lady wait-d somewhat im- patiently until her parents went on a visit to a country seat. She then went directly to her brother’s tutor, said she ‘was going to have her fortune told and Fequested him to accompany her and stand by while she looked into the Hatal glass. At first he tried to dissuade her, on the ground of its unlawfulness and mis- chievous tendency, such inquiries being frequently followed by very bad effects. His dissuasions, however, were in vain, She remained firm in her resolution and by her earnest prayers even prevailed upon him to attend her. When they entered into the place they found the old hag busily engaged 4n taking out her conjuring apparatus and preparing for her incantations. She seemed to dislike the appearance of a second person and easily saw the slight estimation in which she was held by the lady's friend. Upon this she dis- played a large blue silkkerchief, cov- ered with figures of dragons, snakes and other monsters, which she spread over the table and upon it placed a green glazed shawl. She next brought a gold silk cloth, and finally upon this she Jaid a pretty large crystal globe, but con- cealed under a fine white silk covering. Then, while making the strangest evolutions in the world, she murmured forth some unintelligible words, and this being done, with a singular expression ©of awe she approached the crystal globe, took it fearfully in her hands and, beckoning the lady and her escort to the window where she stood, she point- ed ominously to the prospect beyond. At first they could see nothing in the depths of the globe, but gradually there appeared, as if rising out of the crystal, the form of a lady arrayed in a rich bridal dress. Yet, noble as her features ‘were, they had a shade of deep anxiety and sorrow. Her complexion was deadly pale, such as no eye could rest upon ‘Without the spectator feeling a strong emotion of pity. The young lady beheld her own like- fess and shrieked with terror, for it grew larger and larger as her lover ap- proached her from the opposite side— Tot the noble and attractive being she had beheld, but with fierce and enraged aspect, calculated to inspire only dread. He appeared as if come from a sudden Journey, both booted and spurred, and wore & gray mantle with gold clasps. He bore two newly furbished pistols in his belt, one of which he seized and pointed at his heart. The other was dk;gmd at 31':) hdyt;s forehead. e spectators, though scarcely able to withstand the sight, saw funhye :_he snapped the pistol held to the lady's temples, and they heard a low and plaintive echo in the distance. Such ‘was the horror they then endured that they stood riveted to the spot; until re- covering a little, with weak and tram- bling steps they left the old hag’s apart- ment, who appeared almost as much terrified as themselves. In fact, she had not herself foreseen the full extent of the impending evils to ensue. Dreading the consequences, she hastily packed up the fatal instru- ments of her art, disappeared, and was o longer heard of. Yet disastrous as such a destiny ap- peared, it was unable to extinguish the “passion felt by the young lady for the object of her choice.” Love was stronger than death, and her sole safety lay in the determination of her parents to re- fuse their sanction to the marriage. Yet, strange, she now more than ever sought to obtain it, not only by tears and entreaties, but by the most resolute threats and denunciations, if it were Jonger withheld. Her threats, however, were met by E' till _more determined and effectual P PERMIT 52 TheBest Oilin Autocrat Motor Oil ranks as the finest 100% Pure Pennsyl- u;iafi’ermi( No. 52.

R. and Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co measures, and her stepmother at length succeeded in compelling her to yield her hand to a certain court favorite who resided near and had long solicited her love. The day was fixed, and her suf- ferings were now truly pitiable, while the despair of her refused lover was equal to her own. Her nuptials were to be celebrated in the most splendid style—a throng of nob'- and fashionable persons, not ex- cepting princes, graced the occasion. ‘The bride was conducted to the prince's show carriage with six horses, attended by her nearest relatives and by knights and outriders., followed by a grand procession. The rejected lover was not ignorant of these proceedings, and with the madness of despair he swore never to leave her alive in the arms of his rival. He procured a pair of best pis- tols, intending first to kill the bride, and with the second to shoot himself. The place where he took his station was only about 10 or 12 yards from the path by which the bride would have to pass in going to the church, whence he could perceive everything that passed. He watched the gorgeous array of car- riages and riders, attended by an im- mense procession of people, approach nearer and nearer, seized his oppor- tunity, and, pushing his way as close to the bride’s vehicle as possible, fired into it. But the shot passed too soon to reach its object, and only caught the head- dress of another noble lady who was leaning forward. The latter falling into a swoon, the criminal, while they were occupled witt. her, succeeded in making his escape through a back door of the WE PAY THE - EVENING _STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, house, from which he issued, while all hastened to afford assistance to the wounded lady. He next swam over a small river which obstructed his wa; and eluded all pursuit. The affrighted bride having some- what recovered from the shock, the procession was ordered to move on, and the nuptial ceremony was solemnized in all due form. But her heart was ill at rest, her thoughts wandered back to the images seen in the crystal globe, and the dreaded result stood fresh im- pressed upon her mind. Her hateful destiny, too, was before her; her mar- riage, indeed, proved unfortunate, for her consort was a harsh narrow-minded man. who treated her extremely ill. Yet resigning herself to her fate, she ever led a chaste and virtuous life: pre- sented him with one lovely child, on which she lavished her tenderest care; but she did not long survive.
