THE SUNDAY CALwL. APBLKS AND ANIMALVUZZL Find the Fairy, Beautiful Boy and Qypsies of the Hunchback’s Dream---Twelve in All NCE upon a time there was a poor little hunchback dwarf who was so homely that folks couldn’t help staring at him. This made him so very miserable that he came to avold peopls as much as possible and seek the companionship of trees, flowers and all the beautiful things of nature, and in time they became a great comfort to him. He would lie for hours amid the beautiful wild flowers, tall grasses and ferns, and bemoan the fate that had made him such a cripple. One day, while sitting under a great sycamore tree on the edge of the forest, listening to the song of the beantiful birds overhead and the chirp of the insects 'round about him, the refreshing spicy breezes from the wood caused him to sink into a gentle slumber, and he dreamt that a lovely fairy came and changed him into a beautiful boy, and ohl'how he rejoiced to be rid of that terrible hump on.his back and .be so beautiful. He saw himself playing with other children in front of his home. The people passing by still stared at him, but it was on account of his wonderful beauty, and he enjoved it so very much that he was really getting vain, and there is no telling what the conseauences might have been. In his light-heartedness ‘he played on and on, paying no heed to the lengthening shadows thrown across the earth by the setting sun, when, lo! suddenly he was seized, blindfolded and carried away. and when his eyes were uncovered he found himself a captive among a band of gypsies in a strange land. They had stolen him on account of his great beauty, and sad, sad, indeed, was his lot to bear. By and by his home, parents, playmates and all the scenes of the past faded from his memory, and he became as the g¥psies in all their evil ways. He was dishonest, untruthful, lazy and dissipated ,and going from bad to worse. soon lost that which made him valuable in the eyes of the gypsies—his beauty—and, they, not caring to be burdened with him any longer, left him alone in a gloomy forest to die. The sensation was so terrible to him that he awoke. Lying there, thinking of his horrible dream, he felt that even a poor hunchback dwarf has something to be thankful for, and he began to see that beauty, which is so much coveted in this world. may prove as great an affliction as deformity, and from that time forth he knew a peace which he had never known before, for his dream had taught him that true happiness lies. rot in the possession of beauty, but of a contented heart.
