ORIGIN OF SOME NURSERY' RHYMES
,
BY KATRINA DEANE.'
old ballad, which tells of Richard III
murdering his own dear little
"Cinderella, or the Glass &appal,
of -which, if any of, you 'have not
heard, I feel very sorry for you, is, a
very old story. Thousands of years
ago it was told to boys and girls, The
original read that an eagle stale the
slipper of a very pretty EgYptian
lady and bore it off. It dropped it;
and some one carried it to the king,
who made it known all over -the king
-
dont that he would marry the ;lady
Whose tiny foot it Should fit. And so
Cinderella, the cinder-gilt:1, became
queen. In France, Germany and this
country the story has taken several
shapes, and has always been a fav-
orite.
I must tell you of Little Jack Hor-
ner. In England, in the reign of
Henry VIII, there lived a Mr. Horner.
Henry, the king, wished to tear down
all the fine monasteries and abbeys
of England, sell their lands and pocket
the 'Money.
This Mr. Horner was butler, or
something, to an old abbot, who
thought he would gain favor with
Henry by -giving him twelve of his
very best and 'richest monasteries. So
the abbot sent deeds of „them to the
king by -this John Horner. But Hor-
ner„thoug•ht, as he "sat in the corner"
of the carriage on his way to the king,
that he would see what all those great
papers which he was carrying should
mean. "He put in his thumb and
pulled out. a plefra"-i. e., he opened
and read the deeds, put the one for
the largest piece of land in his own
pocket gave the rest to the king 'at
London, and came home and told his
master that I-Ieney VIII, for his
fidelity, had made him a present of
one of the large tracts of land.
"Blue Beard," too, is very old. Ile
is supposed to be Giles Delaval, Lord
of Reis, and was Marshal of France
in 1429.
"Jack, the Giant -killer," came from
India. He breaks forth in' all sorts
of doings all over the story -books of
the young. And so of "Jack and the
Bean -stalk."
"Babes in the Woods" is a very
touching story. I think the origin of
this may be considered a very, very

The story of "Little Red Riding
Hood" is found in the German, but
not exactly as we te% it in English.
-The Germane have a great variety
of young -folk -lore, or stories for little
ones.
"'Mother Goose" was a real person.
She lived 14 Boston. Her daughter
Elizabeth married the printer, Tom
Fleet, who gathered up the nursery
meirodies of his mother -in -low and pub-
lished then.
I must tell you of the meaning of
an old nursery rhyme: "Four and
twenty blackbirds made into a .pie";
these are the four -and -twenty hours
of the day. The "pie" is the space
between the earth and the sky -the
flat -looking ground being the bottom
crust, tho birds 'in between; and the
sky being the conbave top crust.
"When the pie was opened," 1. e„

color; see hew he "counts it out," Presently sise found herself in the

eating bread and honey." Of course,
if the king is the sun, the queen is the
moon. "The maid in the garden,
hanging out clothes.' This "maid"
is Autora, the goddess not of the aay,
but of the dawn. Now, "up jumped a
little bird and nipped off her nose."
The little bird who- dia this very un-•
gallant thing is, of course, the first
hour of the day, for Aurora, or dawn,
disappears as soon as the king, or
sun, arises.- I think that this old bal-
lad .had this simple and quaint sig-
nification.
The reason almost all these stories
have their origin in fact is that it is
a great deal easier to write anything
of the kind about something that has
happened than to have to "make it all
up as you go along," you know.
