OR,

THE GLASS SLIPPER.

CINDERELLA was a very good little girl, and so long as her own dear motherlived, she was very happy: but whilst yet young her mother died, and her father

"married again. This second wife was cross and cruel, and she had two daugh-ters, older than Cinderella, who were as bad as herself. Their whole pleasurewas in dressing themselves out in fine clothes, and they fancied themselves verybeautiful, and were vain and conceited. They could not, however, help seeing"that Cinderella was a much better as well as prettier girl than themselves; but

"instead of loving her on this account and trying to copy her good example, theygrew envious, and hated her. All the hard work in the house was put off uponCinderella, and whilst her sisters sat finely decked out before their looking-glasses, she was 'rced to stay in the kitchen and to do all the cooking, and whenshe was tired, sh'i had no better bed than the ashes on the hearth. Ad othis reason she 1 ked black and was called Cinderella. And her sistersoften came in to qirrel with her, and her step-mother would scold heir witho

cause. So the poor irl had a sorry life. . ... ;L"\The Baldwin lbU-~
