'You_know what I want well enough.—
Mind ye make game of the now; I

she looked at us much as a
_giant might
look at a saucy school-boy, who was net
tling. with him. -
'there, now; don't be angry, Deborah,'
said the'Cliairman. •
'Then you please-to talk reasonable,'
relied the.darusel, with dignity. 'l'm as

No work. Say three and sixpence.'
• IsTow,'Dosperate Deborah' had behaved
very Well to this point; andlf, left to be
dealt. With exclusttely by the. Chairman,
would have been Satisfactorily disposed
of; but, unluckily, there,sat in the corner,
at the furthest distance of anybody from
our excitable customer, a guardian of the'
name of Rubbles, a touchy, testy man,
who must.needs chime in as follows:
'Aiy,goc;d woman, you know You can
either take the- balfcrown or leave it, just
as you like. We can't stop here all day
discussing the point with. you.'
The Chairman groaned aulibry.
all up,' he whispered to me. We're in
for it.'
And so we were. I saw Debom`i's
eyes glisten. The guardians shuffled urp
eaiily•in their seats. ,
'And who are you, pray ?' screamed the
playful maiden, her arms working, her
fingers twirling, and her head nodding in
a manner truly Ominous.
'Nov, DebOrah, interposed the Chair
man.
'Oh-yes ; its 'now. Deborah,' indeed.-
1 Better call we 'Desperate Deborah,' at
I once. Ah ! I know what you call me.—
l'And as for that skinflint in ' the earner
there; out of this room I'll not go, until
I I've let him see what Deborah can-
So here goes.
!'Upon my word, sir,' said Mr. Jones,
'it's no figure of speech to say that this
scene which ensued beggared all de
scription. --The amiable young lady made
first a furious plunge to, reach Mr. Rub
; bles •'
and it would bave•served him right
for his thoughtlessness,' to - have Burrell..
dered him to her. But we, nevertheless,
I interposed ,and a general" fight ensued.—
And for a minute or so the twelve men
actually -got the worst of it.. For you see
the frenzied woman:- pummelled into us.
I with her fists, while we, although writh.
I lug - under her blows forbore doing more
I than andeavorinm to restrain her. 'The
ij yells From the unfortunate dozen of men
I who were ruthlessly poimded were abso-
I
lately dreadful. Soineliow.or other, De
.borah's bare arms always slipped from'
our hold and then the released, members
inflicted blows upon her nearest foes,
which .would have delighted the heart ...of
a prize fighter. At length the porter,iVho
had come to our aid, ungallantly grasped
the enemy's legs and Deborah descended
to the floor with a force .which shook the
building. But to keep .her prostrate was
no small difficulty and, in - despair wewere
ultimately obliged, until further assistance
arrived to—l am almost ashamed to say :'
- 'Sit upon ler, I suppose, Mr. Jones.
'Well, that was actually the ease.'—
There was no other mode of doing it.'"
'And what was done with her after- 1
wards.?'
'Oh! we had her Up:he.fore the Magis
-1 trates, and she had ten days iniprison
-1 meat, with hard labor. Ifer time ended,
she!came'out as brisk afi ever, add was
I
taken into the, work house. There, one
i day, she found her wav to the mast`er's
[apartinents, captured his good lady,whorn
1 she discovered alone,
carried her to a
± - coal-cellar, and locked her up; and !to - re-,
lease her , such a contest ensiled, that it
really appeared thata life or two -would
be lost. At length, .however, Deborah
found her master, and strange, to say, she
did so isa little man, whom ' you ;would
I have thought She could crush with a hug.'.
L. 'There lived at that time - „ id Ilramble
stone, a.young . carpenter named Spivil.
He used to be called Lucky k'runk; from
the circunistance that though not pai:tie.
ularly'clever, ifidustrious or' perseyering,
he jogged on: in the world' much! more
comfortably than ! his' fellows. Good
things that he never expected, seemed v
be always falling into 'Lucky Frank.'—
this enviable”. person was one day Stand-. itg talking to me at the Union cOunter,
when Deborah who' bad been 4is e t rree i
from the house a few days previously,
walked in. -Ad was evidently in a rms- '
, hievous awed, and the first thing she did '
,was, as Frank was a little hi her Way, to.
take Wilds pap, end fling It into the street.
Frank said not a ward, but fetched - .his
cap,' , and orrids return ha bestowed fa slap
on Deborah's bonnet, which entirely al.
tared. its fashion, without trouble '.to the
bonnetddaker, The result was a. furious
battle, I need sot trouble you sir with
tiie elevating &tali. I didn't interfere,
add irtA few. minutes thexofitest.ended In
Deborah beide stretched on . the ' ground:
-It was a marvelous . victory .for -Frank.=
