‘Dear me, Miss Mara!’ eres Narse Burr ‘they ain’t my ra druads!’
At any rate, whether she is reserved to dix in her bed or in somebody elev @, Miud’s ms- haps have reache! such a pass that we all ot us trewbie a lit'l: to get on a Wherry or croes a bridge with her; aud as for going to Bos- ton on the same train, we wonder at the be nizhted beings that attempt it! Was not Maud in the boat that terrible nayzht when tle mast broke and the sprit sna;ped snd the rudder came off? Wae not Maud iw the car- ry-all the afiernoou when the horse delibera tely walxed out of the shafts, aft-r a piece of hard pulling, and left us to get home the b st Wey we could?

Have we ever had : tamily disaster whien Maud has not been t ¢ pivut and starti: g-point, so to say?

| tainiy it would reverse the whole order of na jture to have more th n ove euch Jonah in + |hous-hoid; fur all these adventures of hers jthat Tam telling you are }terally true,
It is several years ayo that Meud b-van he: | nce d-ntal career, it I may cal it so; and sh |might ha e made her debut upon tie world f litems, bad there been a reporter ready, in th jact of falling into tbe fire from the arms ot ithe young girl with whom she had been left Probably Maud knew jit was for asiag’e moment, and therefore bhur-

After that, except for the usual casualties of swallowed buttons and cents and pine, with- pout which none of us can crow up wholesome |ly. of bites and bumps and sealds ane | ecraiches, Maud made n> further cali upon | her powers, but a'low-d them to ripen; an we did rot have avoth:r gericus alarm on her ladyehip’e account until she was well in be: third year, when she was fouud cn the edye o' ‘an uncurbed well, uway in the low field, hold- ing by ber hands, her head down ber hee's up, while she admired the little girl, red- cheeked, bright eyed, and with elt locks harg- ing round that dimp’ed face which was doubt- lees laughing up at her from the da>k. glass below, Sume of the old German tribes, in the days before feces, had a custom of im- pressing the avcient Jandmarks upon th cai dren of the new generation by taking them to the boundaries on certain. oecasione and sound'y boxing their ears there.

to the cleaver that this wou'd be a fiae game
for the atfernoon’s play, and quite a novel:
one; and straightway on bis arcival, finding
toto p aciice,
Ii was by the merest cha>ce that gomebody looked oat of the wind wii the course of the vext half hour, and saw Maud, ready for any new sensation, laying with her neck stretch d m a block of wood, au.d the bigod-thirsty | ttle S.m resting the sharp edge of the axe on it vvfore givi g as decisive a blow as his slender srm was able. Nubody had time to ca'} at- tention td this Miniaure tableau of the death of Mary Quven of Scots, “Only series of shrieks, resounding within the hotse, +tiyed the stroke; and as Maud was snatched away rom ber executioner, it positively seemed as if the tyke koew what be was about, for he looked ep with scared eyes, aud stammering, *L—I did..’t make the bleed come!’ scamper- ed home as fast us bis fat little red-stockinged legs could carry him; and as he afterward ran away to 83a,T should ot be at all gar- pris dif some whaler b ought us home news t at Sam had been promcted to be King o/ te Cannibal Is'ands,
It must have beem not far from this time that one cool day I peree'ved that pungent, fragraut sav li in the air, often perceptible in a.tumn days from the smnoke of burning’
woods, or the bon fires of stalks and vines
very instant when she saw those four great @ishmy hoofs flying arou d her head, and the whole cent’s worth of yeast was there, with nota drop of it spiled, ** Well, that’s the crowner! ? cried Nurse Burr.
‘Li came near being erowner’s quest,’ said Avot Maria. + You muughty child! If you'd looked before you croseed the street, you mig! t have saved all this trouble!’
*Real knock-down argument,’ said Norse Barr, as the other swept from the room. ‘Saved the trouble! She exved the yeast! Well, it's just as well every body should go to@ymg over you, you bad thing —kissing her distracted!y, and then bursting out erying he self tilt the tears ran into the atnica, ‘I'm sure I thought the child waa deed ag Thelsea, * What's she saved for?’ she ex- claimed, a8 she hed exe'aimed twenty times befire.” *'l can’t tell, if eft Something!’
Perbape it was for her next, and, up todate, her fiual act. This took place one evenj g in the nureary,as the children were making seacy tor bed around the air-tight stove, which they nad stuffed full of pine knots. eo that an enote mous D'aze was roaring thr ugh ite fennel io to the chimney, and in some places it wae spark ijg and red-het, Mee Maud, in the freedom of her flannel sizit-gear, bad been Capering round the room, according to her wont, and having tired cf her antics, had, atter a brief abeence, reappeared among her sisters, behind a room, wrepped in a sheet, to signify to them thet when ghosts walked it was tine jo be in bed—faint crows of cbunt-
abut the fields; and just asf wondered what | leet, mufiled by the ted-cloth¢, making made it so strong, t hoard Mics Mand, ako | Chorus to her drama out of the inuer rooni, was springing up and down like a huls flume | “H€te Laurence was already snugly ensgonced, nerself, crying, *‘Come out here! come out | mmediately the terrified troupe seettered, here! Got boofle fiyeh!” and I went out— | Tite according to expectation, and immediate. with one bucket of water, and with another; | 'Y the kerosene lamp tipped over, nit gecord- for the sprite had cullected the dry leaves in| '"8 € expectation, Goobnere only knows a heap beneath the projecting beams of one | “PY there was no explosicu and no tuéden corner of the house, and helping berseif to a| *hitlwind of fire filling the place - but by @ luciter-match, er rather Lucifer had heiped | blessed ehaace the fame blew out in falling, ie to one, and had lit her fire, and the een | 80d ouly the glass of Araby the blest, rising tury-old dwelling house was blazing like a|"0Und them in the darkness, told that the torch, ee at was sonked in inflammable oil.

It was on thie oceasion that, ix | suswer to my reproaches, Maud uttered her | polut of falling forward upom the oil-soaked iamous Sentence—aphorism I might say, | °8’pet, wheo Maud cought at between ber two since It Was accepted and adopted by the whole | #™™@s, and heid the firey monster trom falling, ouse and race tor a sort of by-word—« How | With ats its furious aud raging heat, til Aunt dickolus you is, mise, and besurd besides, and | Marta sushed up, summoud by the united

in her anger then, with her flachng gray eyes, her Aushinz cheeks, and her dark aud ‘umpled lsit, Stamping that tiny foot while apostro- phizieg me !—the image of a little gy pay said Nurse Burr; and qa.te us wild asa bawk, said Aunt Marta. [am atraid we use to. ira- tate ber after that just for the picture cf it,
I beliewe Maul's nex! exploit was tumb'ing into*Beaver Brook. Tuey eailed it a brook;
it was 4s deep as @ river, and rasning rapidly towards some falis. Dancing acroas the plank | that brid ved it, in the effurt to escape some wetance of Auat Maras impartial justice, | presently the ripples and eddies had dizzied her brai, and over she went; while @ parce’ oi children rose ut of the ground, te ai ap- pearance, as children have a way of doing ind ran slong the banks like heos whos d.ckimgs bad taken to the water, only with a million times the uproar, Of course she was fished out, though not til] she bad twice sunk, and Was quile unconscious. A lame gentle- man, silting some way down the stream, waded in and caught her gown on his erutch, «8 she rose {or the last time and was sweeping by on the current, and she was brought to

At any rate, I can weil imagine that to litle Muwd herself there are the Sames cf @il the martyra burping iv them,
But bere the cord of Maud's mishaps pauses, Tt is to be presumed that the mix ape themselves will accompany her through ile, yet, whether she stumbles at the altar on ver wedding-day, or falis off the Yosemite on her bridal tour, or sprains ber aukles just e the prince usks her to dance, or meets with direr downfall yet, one thing ie certuinehow- ever she falls, she will always fail om ber feet.
