A YANKEE " SPEC.p

The other day being in the vicinity of the
old Cradle of Liberty, we paused to witness
the operations of cute Yankee at refresh
ment STALL The object of our attention was
a stalwart, red-cheeked youth. with foxskin
cap, blanket coat, and wooden mttens, and
might have come down from Vermont with a
load of venison and poultry. 1t was evident
from his manner that he had got through with
his business, whatever it was, and was now a
man of leisure The chapman displayed his
most tempting edibles, for he saw before him
customer amply able 10 extend liberal pa
tronage. The Yankee looked over his whole
stock in trade, and priced nearly every article
he had
How much is that ere candy stick " he
would say
Two cents
sWall-but by hullsale''
Ten cents DOZEN
'Wall-but Seein it's me /?
Seem it's you, you may have dozen
sticks for sixpence.'
Do you think I'm made of gold, you sha-
yer " retorted the Yankee. Never mind
drive on-How's doughnuts /"
And he fixed upon plate of these delicious
Yankeeisms his avid and devouring eyes,
Here he stood on safe ground some of the
other fixins' were beyond his comprehension
but he knew doughnuts as we'll as he
knew BEANS
'How's doughnuts"
'Doughnuts has riz,' replied the vender
with an air of profound Importance and intel
ligence.
The continuance of the Mexican war; he
added, raising his right arm oratorically and
Transforming himself into a human teapot

flour has riZ and doughnuts has gone up
whats all that ere nonsense about The
Mexican war, you derned old jackass " sale

'One cent per NUT replied the vender, low
ering his arm and tone.
'Mought fellow take his pick !" inquired
the customer, hesitating with his cent in hi:
left mtten.
ooh !-certing-certing,' -replied the deal
er.
The Yankee deposited The specie, and seizet
on doughnut which he had before selected
with his eyes. 1t was a sockdollager, as big
as a Baldwin apple.
Anything else " inquired the vender, as hi
swept the coin into his drawer, and noted thu
sale on his slate.
mot today replied the Yankee with 3
CLEAN OF satisfaction, and he withdrew Will
his prize We were curious enough to follow
him-we watched him as he set his teeth int
the immense mass Alas for the vanity o
human hopes That doughnut was an impo
sition-a sham-a mere batter bubble blown
into the semblance of solidity.
Loud were the imprecations of the Yankee
Taken in by thunder! p he exclaimed
Consum the fellur's impudence. These Bos
