At last Midas got so unreasonable in his passion for money, that lie spent nearly all his time in a dark, strong room iu the vaults of the palace, where he kept Ins money. Here, alter locking the door, he would take out his bags of coiu aud count them over, or silt the gold dust through fin gers, or toss up the bars of gold and catch them as they came down, and he Wholesale Produce Depot, uever was 80 haw ^ as " hen thus Fianas, Orpts & Shasl Music i attended to promptly.

Owe day, as King Midas was in his treasure-room, he saw a shadow fail upon the heaps of gold, and looking up, what should he behold but the figureofastraii'.ers.aiHlingin the bright and narrow sunbeam that fell trom the’ iron-barred window. Tt Ws a young man, with a cheerful aud ruddy face. As King Midas knew he had carefully locked the door, ho of cours concluded at once that some stranger fairy had visited him. Thestrugergazed al out the room, ami when his lustrous Simla hadglistend upon all golden ob jects there, he turned to Midas: You are a wealthy man, friend Midas!” he observed; “ I doubt whether any other four walls on earth contain so much gold as you have con trived to pile up in this room.” “ I have done pretty well, pretty well,” answered Midas, in a discon tented tone; “ but after all it is but a trifle, when you consider thf t it has taken me my whole life to get it tor gether. If one would live a thousand years he might have time to grow rich.” “ What! then you are not satisfied!” exclamed the stranger. Midas shook his head. “ And pray what would satisfy you ? Merely for the curiosity of the thing, I should like to know,” said the strang er. Midas paused and meditated. He felt confident that the stranger, with such a golden lustre in his good-hu mored smile, had come hither with both the power and the will to gratify his utmost wishes; that now was the fortunate moment when he had-but to speak and get whatever he chose to ask, and so he thought aud thought.— At last a bright idea occurred to him, and, raising his head, he looked the lustrous stranger in the face. V Well, Midas, I see that you have at length hit upon something that will satisfy you. Tell me your wish: “ It is only this,” replied Midas ; “ I am weary of collecting my treas ures with so much trouble. I wish everything I touch to be changed'to gold.. .. '''' .. “ .. “ The Golden Touch!” exclaimed grasping at everything. He seized one of the bed-posts, and it immed.a- tely became a column of fluted gold.— He took up a book, and ou runing his fingers through the leaves, behold it was a bundle of tbiti golden plates.— He put on bis clothes, aud was enrapt ured to see himself iu a magnificent I suit of cloth, which retained its llexi- ■ bility. Midas now took his spectacles from his pocket and put them ou Ids nose, hut discovered he could not see through them; taking them otf, he found the glass to be plates of thin gold, and of course worthless as specta cles. This last annoyed Midas, but lie said, “ It is no great matter after all; we cannot expect any great good with out some small inconvenience with it.”* Wise King Mujgs was so exalted with his good fortune that the palace seemed not spacious enougli to hold him. He therefore went dowu into the garden. Here he found a great number of beautiful flowers in full bloom and others iu bud. Very deli- cous was their fragrance, but Midas knew a way to make them more pre cious, and so he took great pains to go from bush to busli and touch each flower and bud, and soon every one of them, and even the little worms and insects on them, were changed to glit tering metal. Midas then went into breakfast, and as the morning air and his early Walk fectionuteiy about his knees. He. bent down and kissed her; he felt that his little daughtor’s love was worth a thousand times. more than the gold he had gained by the Golden Touch, “tfy precious, Marygold,” said he. re * But Marygold made no auswer. Alas, what had he done? How fatal was the gift tlie stranger had bestowed!—; The minute the lips of Mid: s touched the forehead of his little daughter, a change had taken place. Her sweet, rosy face, so full of love as it had been, assumed a glittering yellow color, with yellow tear-drops con gealing ou her cheeks, ller beauti ful brown curls became spirals of gold had given him an appetite, ho was filagree. Her soft and flexible form became bard and rigid iu her father’s embrace. Oh! frightful misfortune. The victim of his insatiable desire for wealth, Little Marygold was a human c’nihl no longer, hut a golden statue. Yes, there she was, with tlio ques tioning look of love and pity harden ed into her face. It was the prettiest and most woeful sight that ever mortal beheld, an 1 poor Midas, bis grief and horror, felt bow infinitely a warm aud tender heart that loved him, exceeded in value all the we tith that could be piled up between the earth and sky. Poor Midas, in the very fullness of all his gratified wishes, began to wring his llands and bemoan himself; he could not !>ear to look away from her. All tlie features and tokens ot his child were there ; even the little dimple in her golden chin. But the more perfect the resemblance the greater the fath er’s agony at beholding in this golden image all that was left him of his little darling pet. Alas! too well had his wish been granted. So Midas had onlv to wring his hands and wish that he was the poorest man in the world, if the loss of his wealth would only bring back the life into his dear little child. While he was in this tumult of dis- pair he suddenly beheld a stranger standing near the door. Midas bent dpwp hfa tegdjl without speaking, for he recognized the same figure ready for a hearty meal. Little Mary gold had not yet made her appearance, so telling a servant to call her, he sat down to the table to begin his own breakfast. It was not long before lie heard his little daughter coming along the hall, crying bitterly. This sur prised him, for Marygold was one of those delightful children who are al ways cheerful aud happy, and her father did nS know what to think. As Marygold opened the door, sob bing as if her heart would break, her father said: “ How now, my’ little daughter 1 Pray what is the matter this fine morning?” Marygold, with out taking her apron from her eyes, held out her hand, in which was one of the roses which Midas hud so recent ly changed to gold. “ Ah, dear father,” sobbed the child, as soon as I was dressed I ran into the garden to gatuer some ruses for you, because I know you like them, especially when gathered for you by your little daughter. But, oh dear, dear me ; what do you thing has hap pened ? Such a misfortune! All the beautiful roses that smelled so sweet are blighted and spoilt. What can be the matter with them ?” “ Pooh ! pooh ! my little girl,” re plied her father. “ You can easily Midas, as his head emerged out of tbe water. **WS!r, \M (HUlly a refeefcHirtgibiitkTind l>(hirtt it K have quite wasiied away the Gold en Touch. .A^dQwJj^pngmy pitcher.” As he dipped the pitcher iuto the water it gladdened his heart to see it change from gold into the » same good honest earthen 1 vessel' f! which it had been. King.Midaa hastened back to tbe palace, and you need not hardly be told the first tiling -lie did was to sprinkle it ; by handfuls over the gelderi figure of little Marygold. 4«rsro.(;te No sooner did it fall on her than you would have laughed to see how the rosy color came hack to the dear child’s cheek, and how she began to sneeze and sputter, anil how aston- - » ished she was t> find herself drip" ping wet, and her lather still throw ing more water on her. “ Pray do not, dear father." cried' she; “see how you have wet my nice dress, which I put on -.early this morning/’ . a -. 7 For Marygold did not kuow that slie hail been a golden statue, nor recollect anything that had happen-. . ed since the moment when she Had ! At ran with outstretched arms to coin- fort poor King Midas. And her father did not tell her how foolish he had been, but led Marygold into- ,>i the garden and delighted her littlu heart by sprinkling all the rosia- and turning them bac|c agaiji into- real fragrant beauties*. And when King Midas had, grown quite an old man, and used to trot Marygold’s children on hi* knees, he was fond of telling them this marvelous story, ar.d said that the gold tint in their hair was caused by their mother's hajr once having been real gold. All. of s which, of course, they believed, as you must do. y ^ which had appeard to him the day before, in the treasure-room, and bestowed on him tlie Golden Touch. “ Well, friend Midas,” said the stranger, “ pray how do you succeed with tlie Golden Touch ?” Midas wrung bis hands. “ I am yery miserable,” said he, “ Very’ miserable, indeed !” exclaim ed the stranger, “ and how happens that? Have I not faithfully kept my promise to you ? Have you not every thing your heart desires ?” “Gold is not everything,” replied Midas; “ and I have, lost all that my heart really cared for.” “ Ah, so you have made that dis covery? Let us see then.
