  It is very pleasant in the water on a fine day; but little boys should not go there, as it might be deep, and they might become cramped in their limbs, and be drowned when no one was near, as many naughty boys have been before now. Little boys and girls should not touch strange dogs, for they sometimes snap at those who are not familiar to them.

  I wonder how we 're to purchase 'grub?' {026} Said Jack so free, Leave that to me, Your Royal Highness's faithful 'sub.' Now night came on, and Arthur's son Asked Where the dickens are we to lodge? Sir, answered Jack, your brain do n't rack, You may trust to me for a crafty 'dodge:' Off scampers Jack, the Prince aback With his palfrey waits beneath a rock; At the castle-gate, at a footman's rate, Jack hammers and raps with a stylish knock. II. Rat-tat-tat-tat, tat-tat,-- Rather impudent that, Said Jack to himself; but _I_ do n't care! The Giant within, Alarmed at the din, Roared out like thunder, I say, who's there! Only me, whispered Jack.

  I wish we knew something else to play at but everlasting 'house!' I'll tell you what would be great fun! said little Minnie, looking wise. I know you love me, Kitty, and want to save me all the trouble you can; it will be a great comfort to me, while I am away, to feel that I can trust you perfectly; and she kissed the little, rosy cheek, I'm sure I can't tell how many times, and Kitty felt so proud and happy that she only wished she had been trusted with a much larger family of little brothers and sisters, instead of two; that she might show the more what an excellent Little Mother she intended to be.

  Every thing I was unused to looked funny or wonderful; and if I had not been restrained by the presence of such great dogs, I should have sometimes laughed outright, and at others broken forth into expressions of surprise. What made the matter worse, was the fact that Lupo was yet at liberty, and many dogs were afraid to go out at night for fear of meeting with this terrible animal.

  The Piccadilly Inimitables arrived early in the morning, having stopped overnight at Brighton, where they had scored their last victory over the Sussex eleven, and which place was not so remote from Little Peddlington as you might suppose, consequently we were able to commence the match in good time, and as our club won the toss for first innings we buckled to at once for the fray, sending in John Hardy, who had the reputation with us of being a sticker, and the grumbling Charley Bates, to the wickets punctually at eleven o'clock. Black had better go in as first man along with you, Hardy, and see what he can do, our captain said.

  I said I wouldn't scalp him for nothing, for that would be cruelty; but if Mr. Travers was sure that Mr. Martin was the enemy of the red man, then Green Thunder's heart would ache for revenge, and I would scalp him with pleasure. Mr. Travers said that Mr. Martin was a notorious enemy and oppressor of the Indians, and he gave me ten cents, and said that as soon as Mr. Martin should come and be sitting comfortably on the piazza, I was to give the warwhoop and scalp him.
