GLASGOW:

��CINDERELLA,
OR, THE
LITTLE GLASS SLIPPE
THERE was once a very rich gentleman who
lost his wife; and having loved her exceedingly,
he was very sorry when she died.
Finding himself quite unhappy for her loss,
he resolved to marry a second time, thinking
by this means he should be as happy as
before. Unfortunately, however, the lady
he chanced to fix upon was the proudest and
most haughty woman ever known; she was
always out of humour with every one; nobody
could please her, and she returned the civilities
of those about her with the most affronting
disdain. She had two daughters by a
former husband, whom she brought up to be
proud and idle: indeed, in temper and
behaviour they perfectly resembled their
mother; they did not love their books, and
would not learn to work; in short, they were
disliked by every body.
The gentleman on his side too had a
daughter, who, in sweetness of temper and
carriage, was the exact likeness of her own
�4
mother, whose death he had so much lamented,
and whose tender care of the little girl
he was in hopes to see replaced by that of his
new bride.
But scarcely was the marriage ceremony
over, before his wife began to show her real
temper; she could not bear the pretty little
girl, because her sweet obliging manners
made those of her own daughters appear a
thousand times the more odious and disagreeable.
She therefore ordered her to live in the
kitchen; and, if ever she brought any thing
into the parlour, always scolded her till she
was out of sight. She made her work with
the servants, in washing the dishes, and
rubbing the tables and chairs: it was her
place to clean madam's chamber, and that
of the misses her daughters, which was all
inlaid, had beds of the newest fashion, and
looking-glasses so long and broad, that they
saw themselves from head to foot in them;
while the little creature herself was forced to
sleep up in a sorry garret, upon a wretched
straw bed, without curtains, or any thing to
make her comfortable.
The poor child bore all this with the greatest
patience, not daring to complain to her
father, who, she feared, would only reprove
her, for she saw that his wife governed him
entirely. When she had done all her work
�5
she used to sit in the chimney corner among
the cinders; so that in the house she went
by the name of Cinderbreech : the youngest
of the two sisters, however, being rather
more civil than the eldest, called her Cinderella.
And Cinderella, dirty and ragged as
she was, as often happens in such cases, was
a thousand times prettier than her sisters,
drest out in all their splendour.
It happened that the kings son gave a
ball, to which he invited all the persons of
fashion in the country : our two misses were
of the number; for the king's son did not
know how disagreeable they were ; but
supposed, as they were so much indulged, that
they were extremely amiable. He did not
invite Cinderella, for he had never seen or
heard of her.
The two sisters began immediately to be
very busy in preparing for the happy day:
nothing could exceed their joy; every
moment of their time was spent in fancying
such gowns, shoes, and head-dresses as
would set them off to the greatest advantage.
All this was new vexation to poor Cinderella,
for it was she who ironed and plaited
her sisters' muslins. They talked of nothing
but how they should be dressed. " I," said
the eldest, " will wear my scarlet velvet with
French trimming." " And I," said the
youngest, " shall wear the same petticoat I
�6
had made for the last ball: but then to make
amends for that, I shall put on my gold
muslin train, and wear my diamonds in my
hair; with these I must certainly look well."
They sent several miles for the best
hairdresser that was to be had, and all their
ornaments were bought at the most fashionable
shops.
On the morning of the ball they called
up Cinderella to consult with her about their
dress, for they knew she had a great deal of
taste. Cinderella gave them the best advice
she could, and even offered to assist them
in adjusting their head-dresses; which was
exactly what they wanted, and they accordingly
accepted her proposals.
While Cinderella was busily engaged in
dressing her sisters, they said to her,
" Should you not like, Cinderella, to go to
the ball ?" " A h ! " replied Cinderella, " you
are only laughing at me; it is not for such
as I am to think of going to balls." "You
are in the right," said they: " folks might
laugh indeed to see a Cinderbreech dancing
in a ball-room."
Any other than Cinderella would have
tried to make the haughty creatures look as
ugly as she could; but the sweet-tempered
girl, on the contrary, did every thing she
could think of to make them look well.
The sisters had scarcely eaten any thing
�7
for two days, so great was their joy as the
happy day drew near. More than a dozen
laces were broken in endeavouring to give
them a fine slender shape, and they were
always before the looking-glass.
At length themiuch- wished- for moment
arrived: the proud misses stepped into a
beautifulcarriage,and followed by servants in
rich liveries, drove towards the palace,
Cinderella followed them with her eyes as
far as she could; and when they were out
of sight, she sat down in a corner and began
to cry.
Her, godmother, who saw her in tears,
asked what ailed her.
" I wish
1
w-i-s-h—," sobbed poor Cinderella without
being able to say another word.
The godmother who was a fairy, said to
her, " You wish to go to the ball, Cinderella;
is not this the truth?" " Alas ! yes,"
replied the poor child, sobbing still more than
before. " Well, well, be a good girl," said
the godmother, "and you shall go."
She then led Cinderella to her
bedchamber, and said to her, " Run into the
garden and bring me a pumpion." Cinderella
flew like lightning, and brought the finest
she could lay hold of. Her godmother scooped
out the inside, leaving nothing but the
rind; she then struck it with her wand, and
the pumpion instantly became a fine coach
�8
gilded all over with gold. She next looked
into her mousetrap, where she found six
mice all alive and brisk: she told Cinderella
to lift up the door of the trap very gently; and
as the mice passed out, she touched them one
by one with her wand, and each immediately
became a beautiful horse of a fine dapple
grey mouse-colour. " Here, my child,"
said the godmother, "is a coach and horse
too, as handsome as your sisters': but what
shall we do for a postilion ?"
" I will run," replied Cinderella, "and
see if there be not a rat in the rat-trap; if
I find one, he will do very well for a
postilion."
" Well thought of, my child!" said her
godmother; " make what haste you can."
Cinderella brought the rat-trap, which to
her great joy, contained three of the largest
rats ever seen. The fairy chose the one
which had the longest beard, and touching
him with her wand, he was instantly turned
into a smart handsome postilion, with the
finest pair of whiskers imaginable.
She next said to Cinderella, " Go again
into the garden, and you will find six
lizards behind the watering-pot; bring them
hither." This was no sooner done, than, with
a stroke from the fairy's wand, they were
changed into six footmen, who all
immediately
jumped up behind the coach in
�9
laced liveries, and stood side by side as
cleverly as if they had been used to nothing
else the whole of their lives.
The fairy then said to Cinderella, "Well,
my dear, is not this such an equipage as you
could wish for to take you to the ball ? Are
you not delighted with it ?" "Y-e-s,"
replied Cinderella with hesitation ; "but must
I go hither in these filthy rags ?"
Her godmother touched her with the wand,
and her rags instantly became the most
magnificent apparel, ornamented with the
most costly jewels in the whole world. To
these she added a beautiful pair of glass
slippers, and bade her set out for the
palace.
The fairy, however, before she took leave
of Cinderella, strictly charged her on no
account whatever to stay at the ball after
the clock had struck twelve; telling her
that, should she stay but a single moment
after that time, her coach would again
become a pumpion, her horses mice, her footmen
lizards, and herfineclothes be changed
tofilthyrags.
Cinderella did not fail to promise all her
godmother desired of her; and, almost wild
with joy, drove away to the palace.
As soon as she arrived, the king's son,
who had been informed that a great princess
whom nobody knew, was come to the ball,
�10
presented himself at the door of the carriage,
helped her out, and conducted her to the
ball-room.
Cinderella no sooner appeared than every
one was silent; both the dancing and the
music stopped, and every body was employed
in gazing at the uncommon beauty of this
unknown stranger: nothing was heard hut
whispers of " How handsome she is!" The
king himself, old as he was, could not keep
his eyes from her, and continually repeated
to the queen, that it was a long time since
he had seen so lovely a creature. The ladies
endeavoured to find out how her clothes were
made, that they might get some of the same
pattern for themselves by the next day,
should they be lucky enough to meet with
such handsome materials, and such good
work-people to make them.
The king's son conducted her to the most
honourable seat, and soon after took her out
to dance with him. She both moved and
danced so gracefully, that every one admired
her still more than before, and she was
thought the most beautiful and accomplished
lady ever beheld.
After some time a delicious collation was
served up: but the young prince was so
busily employed in looking at her, that he
did not eat a morsel,
Cinderella seated herself near her sisters,
�11
paid them a thousand attentions, and offered
them a part of the oranges and sweatmeats
with which the prince had presented her;
while they on their part were quite astonished
at these civilities from a lady whom they
did not know.
As they were conversing together,
Cinderella heard the clock strike eleven and three
quarters: she rose from her seat, curtsied
to the company, and hastened away as fast
as she could.
As soon as she got home she flew to her
godmother, and, after thanking her a thousand
times, told her she would give the world
to be able to go again to the ball the next
day, for the king's son had entreated her to
be there.
While she was telling her godmother
every thing that had happened to her at the
ball, the two sisters knocked a loud rat-tattat at the door, which Cinderella opened.
"How late you have staid!" said she,
yawning, rubbing her eyes, and stretching
herself as if just awaked out of her sleep,
though she had in truth felt no desire to
sleep since they left her.
" If you had been at the ball," said one
of the sisters, " let me tell you, you would
not have been sleepy: there came thither
the handsomest, yes, the very handsomest
princess ever beheld! She paid us a thousand
�12
attentions, and made us take a part of the
oranges and sweatmeats the prince had given
her."
Cinderella could scarcely contain herself
for joy: she asked her sisters the name of
this princess: to which they replied, that
nobody had been able to discover who she
was; that the king's son was extremely
grieved on that account, and had offered a
large reward to any person who could find
out where she came from.
Cinderella smiled, and said, "How very
beautiful she must be! How fortunate you
are! Ah, could I but see her for a single
moment! Dear Miss Charlote, lend me only
the yellow gown you wear every day, and
let me go and see her."
" O h ! yes, I warant you; lend my
clothes to a Cinderbreech! Do you really
suppose me such a fool? No, no; pray,
Miss Forward, mind your proper business,
and leave dress and balls to your betters."
Cinderella expected some such answer,
and was by no means sorry, for she would
have been sadly at a loss what to do if her
sister had lent her the clothes that she asked
of her.
The next day the two sisters again appeared
at the ball, and so did Cinderella, but dressed
much more magnificently than the night
before. The king's son was continually by her
�13
side, and said the most obliging things to
her imaginable.
The charming young creature was far
from being tired of all She agreeable things
she met with : on the contrary, she was so
delighted with them, that she entirely
forgot the charge her godmother had given
her.
Cinderella at last heard the striking of a
clock, and counted one, two, three, on till
she came to twelve, though she had thought
that it could be but eleven at most. She
got up and flew as nimbly as a deer out of
the ball-room.
The prince tried to overtake her; but
Cinderella's fright made her run the faster.
However, in her great hurry, she dropped
one of the little glass slippers from her
foot, which the prince stooped down and
picked up, and took the greatest care of it
possible.
Cinderella got home tired and out of
breath, in her dirty old clothes, without
either coach or footman, and having nothing
left of her magnificence but the fellow of the
glass slipper which she had dropped.
In the meanwhile, the prince had enquired
of all his guards at the palace gates, if they
had not seen a magnificent princess pass out,
and which way she went ? The guards
replied, that no princess had passed the gates;
�14
and that they had not seen a creature but
a little ragged girl, who looked more like
a beggar than a princess.
When the two sisters returned from the
ball, Cinderella asked them if they had been
as much amused as the night before, and if
the beautiful princess had been there ? They
told her that she had; but that as soon as
the clock struck twelve she hurried away
from the ball-room, and in the great haste
she made, had dropped one of her glass
slippers, which was the prettiest shape that
could be; that the king's son had picked it
up, and had done nothing but looked at it all
the rest of the evening; and that every body
believed he was violently in love with the
handsome lady to whom it belonged.
This was very true; for a few days after,
the prince had it proclaimed by sound of
trumpet, that he would marry the lady whose
foot should exactly fit the slipper he had
found.
Accordingly the prince's messengers took
the slipper, and carried it first to all the
princesses ; then to the duchesses: in short,
to all the ladies of the court,---but without
success.
They then brought it to the two sisters,
who each tried all she could to squeeze her
foot into the slipper, but saw at last that this
was quite impossible.
�15
Cinderella, who was looking at them all
the while, and knew her slipper, could not
help smiling, and ventured to say, " Pray,
sir, let me try to get on the slipper."
Her sisters burst out a laughing in the
rudest manner possible:—" Very likely,
truly," said one of them, "that such a
clumsy foot as your's should fit the slipper of
a beautiful princess."
The gentleman, however, who brought
the slipper, turned round, looked at Cinderella,
and observing that she was very
handsome,
said, that as he was ordered by the
prince to try it on every one till it fitted, it
was but just that Cinderella should have her
turn.
Saying this, he made her sit down; and
putting the slipper to her foot, it instantly
slipped in, and he saw that itfittedher like
wax.
The two sisters were amazed to see that
the slipper fitted Cinderella: but how much
greater was their astonishment, when she
drew out of her pocket the other slipper and
put it on!
Just at this moment the fairy entered the
room, and touching Cinderella's clothes with
her wand, made her all at once appear more
magnificently dressed than they had seen her
before.
The two sisters immediately perceived
�16
that she was the beautiful princess they had
seen at the ball. They threw themselves at
her feet, and asked her forgiveness for the
ill treatment she had received from them.
Cinderella helped them to rise, and, tenderly
embracing them, said that she forgave them
with all her heart, and begged them to
bestow upon her their affection.
Cinderella was then conducted, drest as
she was, to the young prince, who finding
her more beautiful than ever, instantly
desired her to accept of his hand.
The marriage ceremony took place in a
few days; and Cinderella, who was as
amiable as she was handsome, gave her sisters
magnificent apartments in the palace, and
a short time after married them to two great
lords of the court.
THE END
�THE
BABES IN THE WOOD.
A GREAT many years ago, there lived in
the county of Norfolk a gentleman and his
lady. The gentleman was brave, generous,
and honourable; and the lady gentle,
beautiful,
and virtuous : they were beloved by all
who knew them, and were blessed with two
children, a boy and a girl. The boy was
only about three years old, and the girl not
quite two, when the gentleman was seized
with a dangerous malady, and the lady, in
attending her beloved husband, caught the
contagion. Notwithstanding every medical
assistance their disorder daily increased, and
as they expected to be soon snatched away
from their little babes, they sent for the
gentleman's brother, and gave the darlings
into his care.
" A h ! brother," said the dying man,
" you see I have but a short time to live;
yet neither death nor pain can pierce my
heart with half so much anguish as what I
feel at the thought of that these dear babes
will do without a parent's care. Brother
they will have none but you to be kind to
them, to see them clothed and fed, and to
teach them to be good."
�18
" Dear, dear brother," said the dying
lady, " you must be father, mother, and
uncle too, to these dear innocent lambs. First
let William be taught to read; and then he
should be told how good his father was.
And little Jane, —Oh! brother, it wrings
my heart to talk of her; think of the gentle
usage she will need, and take her fondly on
your knee, brother, and she and William too
will pay your care with love."
" How does it grieve my heart to see you,
my dear relatives, in this mournful
condition ! replied the uncle. "But be
comforted, there may yet be hopes of your
welldoing
: but should we have the misfortune
to lose you, I will do all you can desire for
your darling children. In me they shall
find father, mother, and uncle; but, dear
brother, you have said nothing of your
wealth." " H-e-r-e, h-e-r-e, brother, replied
he, is my will, in which 1 have provided for
my dear babes."
The gentleman and his lady then kissed
their children, and a short time after they
both died.
The uncle, after sheding a few tears,
opened the will, in which he found, that to
William was bequeathed three hundred
pounds a-year, when he became of age, and
to little Jane five hundred pounds in gold on
her marriage day. But if the children
�19
should chance to die before coming of age,
then all their wealth was to be enjoyed by
their uncle. The will of the unfortunate
gentleman next desired, that he and his
beloved wife should be buried side by side in
the same grave.
The two little innocents were now taken
to the house of their uncle, who, for some
time, recollecting what their parent said so
sorrowfully upon their death-bed, behaved to
them with great kindness. But when he
had kept them about a twelvemonth, he by
degrees forgot to think both how their
parents looked when they gave their children
to his care, and the promises he made to be
their father, mother, and uncle, all in one.
After a little more time had passed, the
uncle could not help thinking that he wished
the little boy and girl would die, for he should
then have all their wealth for himself; and
when he had begun to think this, he went
on till he could think scarcely of any
thing else; and at last, says he to himself,
It will not be very difficult for me to kill
them, so as nobody knows any thing of the
matter, and then their gold is mine.
When the barbarous uncle had once
brought his mind to kill the helpless little
creatures, he was not long in finding a way
to execute his cruel purpose. He hired two
sturdy ruffians, who had already killed many
�20
travellers in a dark thick wood, at some
distance, and then robbed them of their money.
These two wicked creatures agreed, for a
large reward, to do the blackest deed that
ever yet was heard of; and the uncle began
to prepare every thing accordingly.
He told an artful story to his wife, of
what good it would be to put the children
forward in their learning ; how he had a
relation in London who would take the greatest
care of them. He then said to the innocent
children, " Should you not like, my
pretty ones, to see the famous town of
London, where you, William, can buy a fine
wooden horse to ride upon all day long, and a
whip to make him gallop, and a fine sword
to wear by your side ? And you, Jane, shall
have pretty dolls, and pretty pincushions,
and a nice gilded coach shall be got to take
you there."
" Oh, yes, I will go, uncle," said
William, " Oh, yes, I will go, uncle," said
Jane; and the uncle, with a heart of stone
soon got them ready for their journey.
The unsuspecting little creatures were a
few days after put into afinecoach,and with
them the two inhuman butchers, who were
soon to end their joyful prattle, and turn
their smiles to tears. One of them served
as coachman, and the other sat between little
William and little Jane.
�21
When they had reached the entrance to the
dark thick wood, the two ruffians took them
out of the coach, telling them they might
now walk a little way, and gather flowers;
and, while the children were skipping about
like lambs, the ruffians turned their backs
on them, and began to consult about what
they had to do.
" In good truth," says the one who had
been sitting all the way between the children,
"now I have seen their cherub faces, and
heard their pretty speech, I have no heart
to do the bloody deed; let us fling away the
ugly knife, and send the children back to
their uncle." " That I will not," says the
other; "what boots their pretty speech to
us? And who will pay us for being so
chicken-hearted ?"
At last the ruffians fell into so great a
passion about butchering the innocent little
creatures, that he who wished to spare their
lives, suddenly opened the great knife he
had brought to kill them, and stabbed the
other to the heart, so that he fell down
dead.
The one who had killed him was now
greatly at a loss what to do with the children,
for he wanted to get away as fast as he
could, for fear of being found in the wood.
He was not, however, long in determining
that he must leave them in the wood, to the
�chance of some traveller passing by. " Loo
ye, my pretty ones," said he, "you must
each take hold and come along with me."
The poor children each took a hand, and
went on, the tears bursting from their eyes,
and their little limbs trembling with fear.
Thus did he lead them about two miles
further on in the wood, and then told them
to wait there till he came back with some
cakes.
William took his sister Jane by the hand,
and they wandered fearfully up and down the
wood. " Will the strange man come with
some cakes, Billy?" says Jane, " Presently,
dear Jane," says William. And soon again,
" I wish I had some cakes, Billy," said
she; and it would have melted a heart of stone
to have seen how sorrowfully they looked.
After waiting very long, they tried to
satisfy their hunger with black-berries; but
they soon devoured all that were within their
reach; and night coming on, William, who
had tried all he could to comfort his little
sister, now wanted comfort himself; so when
Jane said once more, "How hungry I am,
Billy, I b-e-l-i-e-v-e I cannot help crying,"
—William burst out crying too; and down
they lay upon the cold earth, and putting
their arms round each other's neck, there
theystarved, and there they died.
Thus were these pretty little innocents
�murdered; and as no one knew of their death
so no one sought to give them burial.
The wicked uncle, supposing they had
been killed as he desired, told all who asked
after them an artful tale of their having died
in London of the small pox; and accordingly
took possession openly of their fortune.
all this did him very little service, for
soon after his wife died; and being very
unhappy, and always thinking too that he saw
the bleeding innocents before his eyes, he
neglected all his business; so that, instead of
growing richer, he every day grew poorer.
His two sons, also, who had embarked for a
foreign land, were both drowned at sea, and
he became completely miserable.
When things had gone on in this manner
for years, the ruffian who took pity on the
children, committed another robbery in the
wood, and being pursued by some men, he
was laid hold of, and brought to prison, and
soon after was tried at the assizes, and found
guilty—so that he was condemned to be
hanged for the crime.
As soon as he found what his unhappy end
must be, he sent for the keeper of the prison,
and confessed to him all the crimes he had
been guilty of in his whole life, and thus
declared the story of the pretty innocents;
telling him at the same time, in what part
of the wood he had left them to starve.
�24
The news of the discovery he had made
soon reached the uncle's ears; who being
already broken-hearted for misfortunes that
had befallen him, and unable to bear the load
of public shame that could not but await
him, lay down upon his bed and died that
very day.
No sooner were the tidings of the fate of
the two children made public, than proper
persons were sent to search the wood; when,
after many fruitless endeavours, the pretty
babes were at length found stretched in each
other's arms, with William's arm round the
neck of Jane, his face turned close to her's,
and his frock pulled over her body. They
were covered all over with leaves, which in
all that time never withered; and on a bush
near this cold grave a Robin-Redbreast
watched and chirped: so that many gentle
hearts still think that pretty bird did bring
the leaves which made their grave.
FINIS.
