LONGEST DAY._The Every-day Book and Table Book, v. 1 (of 3) or Everlasting Calendar of Popular Amusements, Sports, Pastimes, Ceremonies, Manners, Customs and Events, Incident to Each of the Three Hundred and Sixty-five Days, in past and Present Times; Forming a Complete History of the Year, Month, and Seasons, and a Perpetual Key to the Almanac

and the present, being the _longest day_, is selected for submitting to

perusal a very pleasant little apologue from a miscellany addressed to

the young. The object of the writer was evidently to do good, and it is

hoped that its insertion here, in furtherance of the purpose, may not be

less pleasing to the editor who first introduced it to the public eye,

than it will be found by the readers of the _Every-Day Book_. This is

the tale.
