A MANNEaiY YOUTH.

Last week, the ssSwampscott Dorcas
Sewing Society" held their annual meeting,
and, on motion, it WAS voted, "Thst our
parson wait on Tony Jones and see if moth.
ing can't Be done to correct the manners of
young Tony" The next day the parson
called on Tony. SEN, aud. informed him
respecting the object of his visit, to which
he replied: 45 49, 49,
ss"Psrson, there ain't . boy in the city Of
Swampscott that's got more manners than
my Tony, and I;can convince you of that
in just . minute and 1 half You see Tony
out there akinning them nifers T.
The parson nodded assent.
ssNox, see, III esn him And raising
his voice to the highest pitch, he shouted
sTony," - -
The response was quick, and equally
loud, 'sSir p, = -; =. 49,,
l. stDo you hear that, psrson I" said the old
man. "Don't you call that manners?"
ssThst's all very well, as far asit goes,
replied the psrson. '''.
"Whst do you mean by tfar as it goes ?
The boy, sir, always speaks respectfully to
me when I call him. Then, raising his
voice, he again called sTonyi" =
The response "Sr," was equally loud
and prompt. Again the old man called,
"Tony!" - -
The boy dropped the half dressed fish,
and shaking his fist at his sire, yelled out
s'You miserable, black, old drunken snob,
I'll come there in just two minutes, and
maui yos like blases!''
The parson was astounded. The old
man was disconnected for the moment, but
instantly recovering himself, he tapped the
psrson on the shoulder, saying
"You see, parson, my boy has got grit
as well as manners. That chap will be an
ornament to youf society one o. these days"
The parson hastily retreated.
