The Brown Dwarf. "Gold, gold, gold, gold! Bright and yellow, hard and cold." The Brown Dwarfs occupied feven of the "Nine hills" on the weft point of Rügen. The White Dwarfs occupied the other two; and the Black— for there were three descriptions of Dwarfs on the ifland, named from the colour of their garmentsdwelt in the coast-hills, and the caves along the fea-fhore. Tradition thus accounts for the formation of the "Nine hills :". "A long, long time ago there lived in Rügen a mighty Giant, named Balderich. He was vexed that the country was an island, and that he had always to wade through the fea when he wanted to go to Pomerania and the mainland. He accordingly got an apron made, and he tied it round his waist, and filled it with earth, for he wanted to make a dam of earth for himself, from the island to the mainland. As he was going with his load over Rodenkirchen, a hole tore in the apron, and the clay that fell out formed the "Nine hills."" The Brown Dwarfs were beautiful little creatures, and good as beautiful. Many a poor widow has her path; many a child that had loft its way in the woods has been guided through the darkness of night to its father's door; and although it had feen no creature, had ever heard in the rustling foreft leaves little footsteps leading the way: many a hungry orphan that had wearily fallen afleep by the wayfide, has found, on awaking, bread in its lap and a filver coin in its hand: and thefe were the doings of the little Brown Dwarfs. But although much of their time was thus given to acts of "Charity and Mercy" they had their own innocent merry-makings; and the chief of these was to come forth in the bright moonlight to dance in the meadows, dreffed in their gayeft attire-cap, jacket and pantaloons of fine brown velvet, with buttons of frosted filver, and flippers of colourless crystal. On these occafions it behoved them to be very careful not to lofe any article of their drefs, for they could never replace it. If they lost a flipper, they had to go barefoot until it was found; if the bell from their cap, they could not close their eyes in fleep until it was recovered; and if the cap itself, they with it loft their power of invifibility. Hence their intense anxiety to recover any of these articles when loft, and the reason for their acceding to almost any demand to redeem it.
