One winter evening q cOmItEy store
kepeF In tie Green Mountain size

and while standing IN tm al0w out
side, putting up the window shutters,
Jaw through the glass lounging fel-
low within, grab q pound OF ffeAll but
ter from the shelf and conceal it in
his hat.
The act was no sooner detected than
the revenge was hit Upon and a very
few moments f0ulM tie Green Mouii-
tain storekeeper indulging his appetite
for fun to the fullest extent, and pay
ing off the Thief with u facetious sort
of torture, for which inc would hive
gained Il premium from the old Inqui-
sitiOn.

coming In mKl closing the door after
him, slappilig his hand over his shout
ders and stamping the snow of his
feet.
Seth had his hand on the door, hir
hat 0n his head. and the roll Of hllt,es
| in his hat, anxious to make his exit Is
soon as possible.
Il sly, Seth. sit down; I reckon
now OH such cold night as this y
little something warm would not hurt
fellow"
Seth felt very uncertain /; he hail the
butter and was exceedingly anxious 10
be oil, but the temptation Of some
thing warm sadly illtcrfered with bis
~ solution to go, This hesitation was
soon settled BY the stolekeeper taking
Seth by the shoulders and planting
him in u seat close to the stove, where
he was so eorlcrcd In by the boxes
and barrels, that while the grocer
stood before him, there was 10 posi-
bility of getting out. Right IN this
very place, sure enough the store
keeper sat down. ~

ta Cruz, said the grocer. He opened
the stove door, and stuffed in as mary
sticks rs the place would admit.
