This is a variety of the last game, in which a monarch instead of a fairy is the owner of the ground trespassed upon. A line having been drawn, to bound "Dixie's Land," the players cross the frontier with the challenge: On Dixie's land I'll take my stand, And live and die in Dixie. The king of Dixie's Land endeavors to seize an invader, whom he must hold long enough to repeat the words, Ten times one are ten, You are one of my men. All so captured must assist the king in taking the rest. The word "man" seems to be used in the ancient sense of subject, as in the Scotch formula, where one boy takes another by the forelock (a reminiscence of serfdom), saying, Tappie, tappie, tousie, will you be my man? The game is played in much the same manner in Germany, with a rhyme which may be translated: King, I'm standing on your land, I steal your gold and silver-sand. No. 158. _Ghost in the Cellar._ One of the children represents a ghost, and conceals himself in the cellar. Another takes the part of a mother, who is addressed by one of her numerous family: "Mother, I see a ghost." "It was only your father's coat hanging up." Mother goes down with a match. Ghost appears. Terror and flight. Whoever is caught becomes the ghost for the next turn. A similar game is played in London, called (we are told) "Ghost in the Copper." The original of the "ghost" appears in the corresponding German game, where we find in his stead the "evil spirit," who haunts the garden. No. 159. _The Enchanted Princess._ This interesting European game, though never naturalized in this country, has been occasionally played as a literal translation from the printed French. A little girl raises above her head her frock, which is sustained by her companions, who thus represent the tower in which she is supposed to be confined. The "enemy" comes up, and asks, "Where is pretty Margaret?" The answer is, "She is shut up in her tower." The "enemy" carries off one by one the stones of the tower (leads away, that is, the girls who personate stones), until one only is left, who drops the frock, and flies, pursued by Margaret, who must catch some one to replace her. The celebrated French song begins, "Where is fair Margaret, Ogier, noble knight?"[145] "Ogier" is none other than Olger the Dane, hero of mediæval romance. The childish drama is one form of the world-old history of a maiden who is delivered by a champion from the enchanted castle. In the territory of Cambrai, she who is shut up in the tower is said to be "the fair one with the golden locks." We consider the following number to be a variation of the same theme. No. 160. _The Sleeping Beauty._ About fifty years since, in a town of Massachusetts (Wrentham), the young people were in the habit of playing an exceedingly rustic kissing-game. A girl in the centre of the ring simulated sleep, and the words were--
