THE TAR BABY.

Once upon a time an old woman and her
little granddaughter lived In cottage on
hill At the foot of the hill there was
a spring. and every morning the little
girl went to it for bucket of fresh wa
ter. one morning she brought up a bucket
of muddy water and soon as the old
woman saw 1t. she became very angry and
said:
"You little huzZie, you! How dare you
bring me muddy water, MISS
Indeed granny. ! couldn't help 1t. Some
thing muddied the spring before I got
to it."
II don't believe you, miss; / don't be-

muddied the water yourself; you know you
ddn'
"Indeed didn't, granny something mud
died the water before / got there.
"Wcll. miss, don't you bring me any
more muddy water; if you do, III give
you Il good switching as sure as | live
The next morning the little girl again
found the spring muddy and had to take
another bucket of muddy water to the
house. This time her grandmother flew
into a greater rage than before and cried
out:
you wrctched little girl You naughty
hT1zic, You bad little imp, you, How
dare you bring me muddy water again.
Indeed granny, | couldn't help it,
FLUSH miss, hush. I won't hear word.
Go and bring me a switch this minute and
bring a good one. You know you muddied
the spring, and I'm going to give you a
good whipping. Go and get me a switch, l
say
ooh, please. granny, please don't whip
me- Indeed | couldn't help it. Something
