 as soon as he there he recommenced an attack up on Babeftes legs.
 Now. appears, that what the united courage oftht two females could mol accomplish was at last effected epy then united fears. The Widow Vandersloosl gained fer legs as she could and at first open ed the door to rnn out ket her iiisfess was torn fe ribbons in front She looked at her situatioh--modes. y conquered every ether feeng-she burst into tears and exclailning, .'Mr. Fanslyperken Mr Yanslyper.

The bed was good bed aHd had for years done it's duty; but you may even overload bed and 90 it proved in this instance The united weights of the mistress and the maid coming down upon t with such emphasis, was more han the bedcould bear-the saoking gave way altogether, and the atrass winch they lay upon was now supported by the floor.
 Butthis misfortune was their preservationforv when the natrass came down, il came down upon Snafley- VOW. The animal contriYed to clear his ons or he would have peshed; but he could not cleaf his long mdngy tai, which was now caught and firmly fixed in new species of trap, the widows broadest propor- tlons having firmly secured him by it. Snarleyyow pulled and pulled, but he pulled in vain-he was fixed

Babette, who soon perceived that the dog was so, now got out of the bed and begging her mistress not to move inch, and seizng the broom, she hammered Snafleyyow most unmerci(niy, without any fear of retaliation. The dog redoubled his exer- tlons, and the extra weight of Babee being now fe- moved, he at last able to remove his appendage and probably feeling that there was now no chance of quiet nights rest in his present quarters he made bolt out of the room down the stairs and into the street. Babette chased him down, threw the broom at his head he cleared the threshold and then boed the door.

 "Ies,o replied the widow rising with difficulty from the hole made with her own centre of gravity: ssand-- and his master shall go too. Make love indeed--he atony--the shrimp--the dried up stock-fsh. Love quoha-and refuse to hang cur like that. 70 dear! . dear getrae something 10 put on. One of my best chemises all in rags-and his nasty teeth in my leg in twosp places. BaBeite. Well, well, Mr Vansyperien, we shall see--I don't care for their custom. Mir. VanslyperlSen yoll not sit on my sofa gain, can tell youhug your nasty cur quite good enough for you Yes, yes, Mr. Vansyperken.o
 by this time the widow had received fresh supply of liaen from Babette and as as sine had put ii on she from the bed, the fractured state of which again called forth her Indignation.
 "Thirty-wo years have had this bed, welded and single, Babette," exclaimed the widow. For sixteen years did sleepon that bed with the lamented Mr. Vanderslooshfor sixteen years have l slept in if, lone wdow--but never till now did 1t break down. How am l to sleep tonghtl What am to do, Ba- bette?"
 e'T was well it did break down. ma 'am,n replied Ba- bette, who.was smoothing down the jagged skin at her ancles, wesshoud never have got the nasty biting brute out of the house."
 "Vefy well--very we'll. Yes, yes, Mir YansIyper- ken marriage, indeed, I'd as soon marry his cur.'
 s'NIein Gott,0 exclaimed Babette, |" think, madam, if you did marry, you would soon find the master as cross as the dog; but must make up this bed.o
 Babette proceeded to examine the mischief, and found hatit was only the cords which tied the sackng which had given way, and considering that they had done their office for thirty-two years, and the strain which had been put upon them after long period, there was not much to complain of. new cord was procured, and in quarter of hour all was right again; and the widow, who had sat in chair ftinng and blowing of her steam, as soon Babette had turned down the bed, turned again, muttefing "fes yes, Mr. Nansypefken--fna marriage, indeed We'll well we shall see. Stop til to- morrow, Mr Yansy- perken" and Babette has closed the curtains, So we will close this chapter
