They dressed lthmsel'es fine in ,ilks, and r' .11s, and
flowers, and lace,
Poor Cind'erella hadn't time to isl4h her pretty face
When the\ stamrtl for the ball, full of haughtine;s and pridee,
Poor Cindcrclia ,:clt quite sald, antd sat her do%,n and cried.
She had not cried much longer than a quarter of an hour,
\\'hen a wonderful bright creature appeared upon the floo:,r.
Looked compassionately on hor, an'] said in accents mild.
"I am your Fairy' Godmother., o cry no more, ilny child:
I know that you arc sad, and that our sisters ire tnk in]:
Now go an,] fetch for me the largest pumpkin :1u can find."
She went and fetched the pumpkin, and the Fairy shonk hr

mice inside;"
She changed them to six prancing steeds, all harnessed side
by side.
"Now fetch the rat-trap," and there was therein a large
black rat,
So he was made the coachman, with silk stockings and
cocked hat.
Six lizards happening to be there, all ready to the hand,
Were changed to powdered footmen, staff and bouquet all
so grand.
"Now, Cinderella, here's your coach to take you to the
ball."
L "Not as I am," she cried; "like this -I cannot go at
all."

And then the Fairy raised her wand, and touched the shabby
It turned to ,atin, trammed %ith lace, and jeels, an'd ,aans
Her face %as clean, h-r gloxcs were new, her hair %as nicel.,

She pr,,miled, and uith jo ful heart she gained the palace

And danced, and laughed, and looked indeed the fairest of
lthem all.

and aa,;
All treated her as if she were the greatest lad), there:
But in good time she shpped awaN, and waited safe at home,
In kitch,.-n corner sitting till her sisters back should come;
And %hv-n they came they told her all about the stranger fair,
And what she wore, and how she looked, and ho% she did
her ha3r.
Next night another ball was held-the sisters dressed, and

And she is kind, as well becomes a noble Prince's bride.
The wedding was most grand, and when they started on their
tour,
The King and Queen and all the court were standing round
the door;
And, wishing that for them all happy things might come to
pass,
They all threw after them for luck old slippers-not of
glass.
The sisters, full of envy, are reported to have said,
