A LIVELY BOY

I want to tell you a droll story Of a
Scottish farm boy He was at a fair
one Martinmas waiting to be hired by
some farmer, when a man came up to
him and asked if he had a character
from the farmer who last employed
him.
The boy said he had not, so the
farmer said: "Run and get it, lad, and
meet me at the cross at O'Clock. L
think you'll do for me-"
The boy hurried away and got his
character, but while he was hurrying
back some one told him that the farmer
who was going to give him work was
a very unkind man and did not treat
his workers properly.
The boy went to the cross at A o'clock
as he had arranged to do, and the
farmer came to him and asked: "We!l,
my lad, have you got your character
with you?" yes" replied the boy;
''and I've got yours. too, and I'm not
coming!"
And he ran away as fast as he could.
