Another entered and called for portion

The CLERK AND THE BUTTER WOMAN!
Yesterday afternoon, as the Clerk Of one
OF our markets was travelling around lnves,
tlgauDg the weight OF butter, be came
across an old lady, whose reluctance to
display her oleaginous luxury, excited sus-
plcion. Bent upon examination, he hastily
sna ched up lump from large tub full,
and threw 1t into his scales. 1t was awful
" deficient! He tred another, it was dit.
TO; another, and still the same resuIt--lhe
old Iady's face clongatng at each success
slve failure ABOUT "a feet" "Mlster," said
she, "lf you take any more Of my butter,
you'll get trouble | guess" Nothing
daunted by her threat, he continued; when
enraged beyond endurance, the old lady, a
strong, muscular woman, "yoked' him,
and after a severe tussle, during which VIC
tory seemed to lean alternately on both
belilgerents, and a crowd OF amused spec,
ta'ors gathered around them, she finally
threw him down, jumped on him, and final
ly taking from hm the lump OF butter he
still held in his hand, she smeared It all
over his face, filing his eyes, ears, mouth
aud noslrlls, full almost to sufi0catlou.
Then sprnglng upon her feet size plunged
her hands into her butter tub. aud mashlng
the Jumps completely up into one uoctuous
mass, Now" she voclicratcd, weigh my
butter ii you can, you puppy and touch It
If You dare"
1t is needless to say that The Clerk 'm,z
lied and YOU cannot now insult hun more
than by requesting OF h'm some Information
as to the state OF the butter market. --
