. THE- GOLDEN EENCE.
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, .
Or?if the humor take thee,
1 or nothing cine can make the*'? x
Th?ll'lt bear me up in rapid lligbt
Unto gome Marry height,
. (-J. M m ,
"With course unchecked and freo
Thence, looking, hack, we'll bcc,;
This little eaVth which far beneath us lies,
Shrunk to the proper size.
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. "Can It b*o l-^f&V lt
truly believe ho is goi?g to set rne doAvn.
inside tne golden fence in the garden
Helena." .
It was even so. .As the. wingcflj horso
slowly and gently sank in :his. flight,, re
largo crow\l of people who.lived on that
side of the golden fence collected* to'sec' '
the wonderful'sight. ?.'
"It is the, famous Frederick who' klllctf
the giants," they all shouted.
But none of the greetings If@'received
was so delightful to Frederick as that of'
Helena, whom be found grow'tf into ai tall
beautiful w?lnfth'. . -? ,
."Welcome!" cried she. "I knew.jny
Frederick would come back to me at
last." , ??w
j (i They were married s'Oon after, and
lived on the garden side of the gohleii
fence, very happily*; - yet Frederick often
went over on the.other side, to: look"after'
old friends there, and associated with
tbqm as pleasantly as ever. Sometimes
he broug4it in little boys and girlsjfroni
the common.tQ play in. the garden fo#
a while with his own child von ; he' also*
persuaded those who }cept the gates td
occasionally allow good people.wbo had
no golden key to come into the garden at;
times for amusement.

A short time since, in this city, a bril-*
liant and much admfred lady who* ii??
been suffering for some timewiflr a trou
ble of the eyes,- was led to fear>a speedy
change for the. w'orse,. and- immediately
consulted her physician. An examination
discovered a sudden and and fatal failing
in the optic nerve, and the information
was imparted a-f gently *as possible,-, that
the patient could not retain her sight
more than a few days at most, and was -
liable to be totally 'deprived of it at any
moment; The afflicted mother returned
to her home, quietly made such arrange
ments as would occur to one about to comr
mertc? so dark a journey of life, and theft
had two little children, attired in their
brightest and sweetest costumes, brought
before her; and so with their little faces
lifted to hers and tears gathering for some
great misfortune that they hardly realized,
the light faded out of the mother's eyes,
leaving an incffaceablo picture of those
dearest to her op. earth?a memory of
bright faces that will console her ill
many a dark hour.?Es
