GRIZZLY BEAB. MADGE ELLIOTT. . - -There never was such a boy forget ting into scrapes and having strange adventures as Griswold Burr. (Of course all the boys, and most of : the rirls, called him 4 'Grizzly Bear." Wish.Td been ns wwi en they chriBtened me," the funny j little blue-eyed chap ! used to Bay, "bet i;d kicked against 'Griswold' ,for a name' mighty quick; anybody with half an eye ought to have seen what that would turn into with 'Burr' after it.) 1 And the most jwonderful part of it all was that he never was a bit the worse for the aueer things that -v happened to him, but, if anything, . iollier than ever. ' ; The verv first time he climbed a tree he was only seven years old, and Frank Fowler and Yin Maher, both three years older, nad been up the same tree trying to get at a branch which was loaded down with delicious large black cherries, and hadn't suc ceeded he tumbled ' from the very top; but he brought the heavily-laden k -a ... . m T - ' l T 1 bougn wiui nun, 11 Dreaarng wiui ms weight and letting him down much easier tlian ne couia nave come witn out its help with a shock, it is true, but not shock enough to prevent his scrambling to his feet" a moment after, with a wild halloo, and eating cherries enough in the next i ten minutes to have made at least half a dozen deep- dish cherrv-Dies. The autumn following the cherry branch affair, he fell out of the second Btory window while trying to reach a bird s nest that, a dear little brown winged bird had "made in the old apple-tree that stood by the back porch. ! - "Oh ! dear, oh! dear," cried his mother, who was sittinsr in the room sewing, and who looked up just as his heels . were disappearing, "my child! my child!" And while she was quiet ly fainting away, poor thing, not being very strong, Grizzly was rolling about on tne, top of a load of hay that had been passing belpw the window on its way to the barn, as he fell out. and fchouting, "H-a-a-y! ain't this fun?" And one winter morning when all the boys were sledding' down hill a verv steep hill it was. and if their fathers had known they were there, I am afraid some of them would have gone to bed supperless, and the rest had their jackets dusted Griswold's Bled shot out from under him, and away he went, turning summersets (though T think, in this case, they might more appropriately be called wtntersets) untu out ot signt 01 nis frightened chums. And when they his chums"! mean had slid, hopped, sledded, and scrambled down to the foot of the hill, to pick up what was i i i it k. t i r leis Ol nun, mere eat viniy xeur, his sleeves torn open to the elbows, and holes where the knees of his trou sers should have been, and a lump- about the size of a walnut on his fore head, looking with a delighted grin at an old-fashioned silver dollar which he . had spied, the moment he had found himself right side up,, in a wide crevice of the tree-stump that had " stopped him in his wild career, i . j (But all these things are nothing to what happened to Griswold Burr one Christmas Eve, when -he was about twelve years old. -i . j , j At that time his mother she was a widow lived in a very small cottage on the extreme bank of "Wild-duck Bay. Indeed, it was so near the water, that often when the big waves felt uncommonly frolicsome, they woidd run up to the front doer and hrow a ft-ywsof salt-water under tbflif AJUt when tnyl then run away agW, , they came pushing eff "M house as though tw J?. bttm ievwerei;Zi rvquai wam vi j were teltJiedf ye and Grizzly Bear and his mother, who ; didn't like such very wet visitors, were obliged to stand ready with brooms to i frighten them out again. Well, this Christmas Eve. there : was a terrible storm. It had been very mild weather so far, and the bay had not been frozen over, as it always had been by Christmas time preced ing winters, when, after : a bright sunny day and starlight evening, along came the wind from- oyart th water, bling, and growling, and'yelling, and whistling,' and screaming, and .groan in er, and shook the small wooden cot tage, first this way and then that, being the first thing it met on land, rRf nM iX rrrpiit. ill-temnered iriant of i " " O 7 -I. O v -til 1 1 t a man migni ; snaxe anu siup a poor little child who accidently came in his way when he was in -a very bad . temper. The Burr family were in bed and fasJ asleeP- ??e chHdren'a stockings j there were three children, two small j girls and Griswold liung by the ' chimney, and the Christmas pies two ' mince ana a pumpjun were nicety baked and locked up in the big tea- chest that" Griswold's fathers-he had been a sailor had', brought home years before, and the key. hidden away Mrs. .Burr said, "on account of the rats," but we boys know all about that when the wind came along, as I said before, and nearly knocked the little house over.., Out of bed sprang Mrs. Burr, only half awake, dragging her two small daughters with her, and fortunately a blanket trailed after them: and as the house ricrhted itself , she flew to the door and out into the road, calling loudly she was wide awake by this time to her only son, who slept in the garret, to come down; but no "Griswold" appeared, and in another instant the distracted- mother saw the wind, which now seemed to come from all directions instead of one, lift the cottage from the ground, fling it upon the waters, and send it sailing away. Nearly wild with fright and grief, half carrying, half dragging the poor little scared, shivering girls stopping every now and then to wrap the blanket about them she reached the house of her nearest neighbor,-half a mile away, and finding the family all up and listening to the storm, with r . - t ii-ii ,f,ii many tears sne toiu uer -eurruwiui story. . ... . ' JSotLuiifir could be done until morn- iujj taraej but as soon as the first streak of light showed in .the casfc. a dozen men started m -their boats t fincLif possible, the drowned boy: "I must go, too," said the pale mother. "I must .be the first to take my poor darling in my arms. His pretty brown curls must be smoothed by his mother's fingers his dear head laid on his mother's bosom." . "And we must go with mamma," cried the little ones. And sp the kind men wrapped them up warmly and put them in the- largest boat, . and ,i i i:-t ! n away uiey starred, just as me sun burst over the hills,, bright and beautiful,- and the early Christmas chimes rang out upon the air. They rowed about hither and thither for an hour or two, when the mother ah ! whose eyes as keen as a mother's when she is looking for her child ? caught sight of something propped against the . bank which they were nearing. 'There ! there !" she cried, point ing with trembling hand. It was the hduse. - The windhsd set it afloat, and it had drifted across the bay, until, the storm ceasing, it had been landed on' the' beach, and the tide receding, had remained, look ing like a house that had taken en tirely fbo much to drink as no doubt it had leaning against the high bank. . Could that be smoke coming slowly out of the chimney,? Good heavens ! There inust have been a remnant of fire in the stove, that all the water had failed to put but, and the poor little cottage had only escaped one element to be immediately threatened by another. . They silently ran the boat on land, and the men drew back softly, with grave faces, that the mother and her children might go , first. The little girls clinging to her skirts, she plunged knee-deep through tlie sand, and opened the door. There was a fire, made of chair backs and rounds, on the hearth, and a Kettle 01 conee swinging over it hung in some mysterious manner from the poker; the clock, in which the keyof the tea-chest had been hidden, lay broken on the floor; and in a cnair, tipped oacK agamst the wall, on account of the slanting posi tion of the house, with half of a mince- pie in one hand and half of the pump kin in the other, sat Grizzly Bear. "Hallo I mother I Merry Christmas morning!" he shouted. "Did you ever hear of such a lark as this?" An ArpAiiLiNQ Curse. Carefully prepared statistics , show that there are over six hundred thousand drun kards in the United States, and that seventy-thousand ' die annually, who go to the grave of a drunkard.
