Whether it did so for the purpose of admiring its very plain visage in the liquid mirror, or finding out what was going on among the fish, we cannot say, as it never told us; but at that moment a big, clumsy, savage-looking dog rushed out from the neighbouring thicket and began to worry it.

He undertook modest little excursions into the woods or along the margin of the lake, sometimes alone, but more frequently with a little friend whose whole heart and being seemed to be swallowed up in admiration of his big companion.

At this big dog Crusoe directed a pointed glance, but said nothing.

Those that still remained, half stupified, he leaped over with a huge bound, and alighted, fangs first, on the back of the big dog.

There was one hideous yell, a muffled scramble of an instant's duration, and the big dog lay dead upon the plain!

But San-it-sa-rish stood honestly to his word, said that it would be well that the Pale-faces and the Pawnees should be brothers, and hoped that they would not forget the promise of annual presents from the hand of the great chief who lived in the big village near the rising sun.

The new stile of silk hats, worn by a femail heart destroyer, is big enuff to hitch up dubble, with the shoo, in which the old lady and her children "hung out.

wen you git the penuts just come out of the big dore of the deepoe and keep strait down the rode til you come to our house you can tel it by the 4 cats if they arnt under the barn but you can ask somebody ware farther lives his name is Mister Gillander but these fools that lives about hear cal him Mr. Glander.

"Mister STOREKEEPER, who am I?and what am I?" said I, wildly interogatin a individual, who was standin by a big pile of caliker.

Why don't you stay home, where you belong, and not go pokin about the country like a great big booby?"

Do you know where the boot-jack is?" DESDEMONA."I never did flirt with him, and IAGO tells a big story if he says I did.

Finally, she drew up the big arm-chair, which was bought at the parish auction the year before, and which, as a rule, no one but father was permitted to occupy.

Now, if the boy would set him free, he would give him an old coin, a silver spoon, and a gold penny, as big as the case on his father's silver watch.

He wondered how he should manage with these big, clumsy wooden shoes; but just then, he saw a pair of tiny shoes on the doorstep.

"It would be a great pity," thought he, "if the big goosey-gander should go away.

It would be a big loss to father and mother if he was gone when they came home from church.

Then he thought that a great big rug lay spread beneath him, which was made up of an incredible number of large and small checks.

"What kind of a big, checked cloth is this that I'm looking down on?" said the boy to himself without expecting anyone to answer him.

" Then he understood that the big, checked cloth he was travelling over was the flat land of southern Sweden; and he began to comprehend why it looked so checked and multi-coloured.

The brown checks with the yellow edges were, undoubtedly, beech-tree forests; for in these you'll find the big trees which grow in the heart of the forestnaked in winter; while the little beech-trees, which grow along the borders, keep their dry, yellowed leaves way into the spring.

" The big, well-cared-for farms got high-sounding names from the roosterssuch as Luckymeadows, Eggberga and Moneyville.

They came to one place where there were a number of big, clumsy-looking buildings with great, tall chimneys, and all around these were a lot of smaller houses.

The big tame goosey-gander that had followed them up in the air, felt very proud of being permitted to travel back and forth over the South country with the wild geese, and crack jokes with the tame birds.

At once the boy began to push and drag him, to get him into the water, but the goosey-gander was big and heavy, and it was mighty hard work for the boy; but at last he succeeded.

And you were big enough not to ask.
