"Take care of the paint," as the city girls say when a fel-

as the man said when he was pulling a wheelbarrow through
the streets without any oil °nits axles.—" I'm laying down
the law," as the client said when he floored his counsellor.

THE WAY OF WOMEN.—In the Newcastle market onr
and .
Saturday, a lady asked the price of a goose. "Four
threepence," said the woman at the stall. The rejoinder,
of course, was, " I will give you four shillings." " Very
well " said the woman ; "You may have 't for four ; for,
you see, I clapped t' threepence on, because I knaw'd you'd
want summat off. Aw always find that the way o' woman is
to bey threepence off the guse, and a penny off t giblets
—an' se aw axes accordingly !" Shopkeepers less candid
than the goose merchant, are not in the habit of confessing
their practices: but we think we may venture to assert
that, when they have to deal with ladies who " want summat
off," they take cue to "ax accordingly." Heber, the
celebrated book buyer, being asked by a friend if be did not
receive good discounts oo making his purchases, replied,
"No sir, it is an absurd system—a discount will only answer
once : —at the second and all future purchases, the trades-
man, in self-defence, will lay something on, to be prepared
for your demand.
