AT THE GIANTS CAUSEWAY

I road, near which their hotel lay lex pressly built in that situation for the convenience of visitors to the far famed resort of the giants" if ever it was such), when their attention was attracted by crowd of people assembled at the extreme edge of one of the highest headlands.
 "What is the matter?" said Sir James to the guide who had conduct ed them over the wonders of the place, and had become great ally of theirs.
 'I don't know, yer honor, but I'll be of and find out;"-and suiting the action to the word, the guide strode towards the spot where, gesticulating and shouting in fearful manner, some twenty or thirty peasants were congregated.
 But theinquiring guide did not quick ly return, his interest or curiosity be- came equally absorbed with that of the people already assembled on. the height, and our party had themselves reached the crowd before they again saw him. In the midst of the group of men and women sat little girl, l about six years old; small basket was at her side, filled with boxes of "specimens" (as the natives call them) of the various geological treasures of the place. Above the coarse wooden boxes containing these stones lay several garlands of primroses, the lit tie dealer in geology had been indus triously threading these into flowery chains, which she had been taught to fling over the heads of the visitors, whose customfor her specimen" she generally ensnared in this way, her in- nocent winning ways invariably at tracing attention in the first instance, and her singular story afterwards riveting it, and often calling forth the substantial kindness of those who bought of her little stores
 The child, accustomed to the rough weather and tempestuous waves of that rude coast, seemed at ease in the midst of the crowd and hustle; | shewa however, unconscious of the 1 cause of unusual excitement now, and, wholly occupied with her own little | trade, she took garland from her basket and ran towards the party of visitors as they approached, intend ingto capture q purchaser for her wares, The wreath was long, but Lady Anne being tall, and the child very small the latter could not suc- ceed in flinging it over her head, though she jumped as high as she could to reach her; just as she had nearly succeeded, through the good natured bending down of Lady Anne, who suspected and comprehended at once the snare and it's object, the guide came towards them, and regard less of, or not noticing the child's presence, exelaimed,-"It's poor W:nny, yer honor, that was gather ing dillisk and sloak, and she's dipped dcwn that path that no cfature scarcely ventures on but herssff and the goats. The say is too angry to send out boat, and no one dare thry the path now the wind is rig, so they re sending d ereel down for her, it's the safest chance left.'
 Flowers, boxes, and basket fall from the child's hands as the man said these words.
 "Nursey, nurseyl" screamed she, springing towards the edge of the cliff that, straight as a wall of jagged and broken faces and Assures, decend- ed to the sea. whose tide foamed wildly in to it's base and dashed the waters and spray many feet up wards.
 "Oh, nurseyl save her, take me to her."
 The guide rushed after the child and caught her up in his arms.
 Primrose" he cried, ''nursey will be saved; stay quiet, child, they will bring her to you"
 But the child would not be quiet; she struggled and clawed, and scratch cd at his face. and in fact, was so earnest in her determination to get free and go to her nurse, that with out really hurting her, he could not save himself from her attacks. "Mushal what am to do with the craturs" said he, 'They want me to steady the rope, and she's Such a wild child, she'll run down the path if l let her go. She's as nimble as any goat of them all, and twice as cute; and only for the wind there ss. and the say coming in so furious ana fast, she might escape; but she'd have no chance now May be, your honors could pacify her, and keep her quiet, till we gets the ereel in tow"
 The man, a physiognomist in his way, ventured this request to Lady Anne and O'Kennedy; he had not finished speaking, when they had half forcibly, half-coaxingly, taken posses sion of the screaming, kicking c.ild.
 You don't love your nurse, said Lady Anne, "or you would not pSevent Patty from goingto help her.
 "Why did not he tell me that? I wouldn't have stopped him;--but want to go too. can go by the path. Nurse and often go where none but we can go; we know how to climb the cliffs, they do not"
 The child struggled again. at last they were obliged to tie her hands and feet with their handkerchieis, and then. Sir James, curious and anxious for the fate of the poor woman. ad- vanced to the edge of the height, at the foot of which he was informed she lay, coiled up and holding on as well as she could to the projecting lodges oi rock, which were her only support. and from which the wild waves every moment, as they boomed onwards, threatened to dislodge her.
 She had as usual. made her way down an almost perpendicular path, | f l | i
