A MELTING STORY. e winter evening a country store. ,"per in the Green Mountain State was about closinghis doors for the night, and wrhen standing in the snow outside, .ting up the window shutters, saw through the glass a lounging, worthless Ullow within, grab a pound of fresh but tetrom the shelf, and conceal it in his act was no sooner detected than the revenge was hit upon, and a very few.minutes found the Green Mountain storeikeeper at once indulging his ap. tite for fan to the fullest extent, and Playing off the thief with a facetious sort Of torture, for which he would 'have ied a premiupn from the old inquisi I say, Seth' said the store-keeper, oing in and closing the door, after him, slapping his hand over his shou-d era, and-stimping the snow off his feet. Seth had his hands on the door, his Wtupon his head, and the roll of butter i his hat, anxious to make his exit as soon-as possible. Isay, Seth, sit down; Ireckon now, on such an e-ter-nal night as this, a lit tle somethin' warm wouldn't hurt a fel low. Seth felt very uncertain; he had the bitter, and was exciedingly anxious to be of; bat the tempittion of something warm sadly iintefered with his resolu. tion to go; This resolution, however, was soo% settled by the right owner of the butter taking Seth by the should. erBa nd planting him in a seat close to 4estove, where he was in such a man ner cornered in by the boxes and bar. rels; that while the owner stood before him there was no possibility of getting out, and right in this very place sure enough the storo-keeper sat down. * Seth, we'll have a little warm Santa * Crus,' said the Green Mountain grocer; sos he opened the stove deer and stuffed inmas -many sticks as the place would admit; 'without it you'd freeze going homo such a night as this Seth already felt the butter setting downi closer to his hair, and he jumped up declaring that he must go. 'Not till you have had something warm Seth: Seth, come, I've got a stor y to tell you, too:sit; down now now;, an'd Sethi was again rushed-into his scat by his cunnn tormentor. -'Oh! It is tu darned hot here,' said the petty thief, attempting to rise. 'Jit down--don't be in such a plaguy hurry,' retorted' the grocer, pushing him back in his chair. B thi Pvgtthe co:s to fodder, and thawoo tosplit, and I must be going,' ; .Bt yo musn'nttear yourself away, Set~i tismanner. Sit down, let the C~scaro~of themselves, and keep your sefcool; you appear to be a little fidge ty thadCe roguish grocer, with a wickl~-. next thing was the prduction of' two smoking'gasses of hot um tod dy, the very sight of which, in Seth's present situation, would have made the har stand ereoct upon his head, had it not been well oiled and kept down by Ihe butter. 'Seth, I'll giv you a toast, now, and gou own butter it yourself,' said the grocer,'ith- an air of such consumate simplicity, that poor Seth believed him sel unsuspeoted. "Seth, here's--here's a~::, ', Chita oswell roasted, eh I * tion. AnSeth, don't you never use k "~ "* h'st, orcommon cooking butter, to '7 ~"" s1~vth-.come, take your butter "reon, Seth, take your toddy.' no began to smoke, as n u~d his mioth waq horme F j~ p# tt wood netpoor tset bolt upright ithihib "kN g 6 the counter, ani his kaees amost touching the rqd hot rurnacbefo.,.

'No' exclaimed poor Seth, 'at last, with a spasmatic effort to.get histongue loose, clapped Uth~his handt upon hia hat. 'No, I must go lot me out I ain't woll; let me go." A greasy cataract'was now pouring down the pooi wan's face and neck, and soaking into 'his clothes and trickling down his-body to his very boots so that he was literally in hperfect bath of oil. 'Well, good night, Seth,' said the humorous Vermonter, 'if you will go' and added as he darted out of the door, 'I say. Seth, I reckon the fun I've had out of you is worth a ninepence, o I shan't charge you for thac.poundof but ter in your hat. HOW TO MAKE A HORSE DRINK. 'Our friend Judge Edmonds, who, amid all his dry lab&s, relishes a joke as well as another, tells some pleasant stories of.incidents which. sometimes oo cur on his country circuits. Among them is one connected with the temper ance cause, which two or three years ago disturbed the State and agitated"oil classes, by reason of the submission to the ballot-box on the question whether any licenses to sell liquor should be granted. ' The Judge was holding court in the country at the time the vote was taken, and for a week or two afterwards, and looked on with a curious eye to see how the matter worked. He observed especially the fact, that the strongest vote againat licenses was generally giv en in those towns where there was the most drinking, and that in those towns, and indeed generally, persons who had been in the habit of drinking, now drank harder than ever, could drink if they pleased, and would, law or no law. He therefore remarked that he never saw so many drunken men in his life. When he landed from the steamboat, the men who ferried him over the river were drunk; when he left the small boat, the man who took him up into village kept his horses on the run, and, drunk es a lord, prided himself on driving within a few inches of the edge of the road without precipitating hisload,a hundred feet down a ravine. Every body, in short, seemed to be intoxicated; witnes ses and parties came into court half seas over. One witness fell inhis whole length when leaving the stand; another got asleep in court, rolled off the bench, and had to be carried out of the room another was so very "jolly," as they called it, that he could not give his tes timony in asober word at all. One af ternoon of a delightful day, early in the season, after the court bad adjourned, the Judge was sitting on the porch of his hotel, with several gentlemen around him, whose attention ho was calling the number of drunken men then within sight, and ho and they were speculating upon the effect of the law, and upon the odd sort of feeling which had pry duced such a result, when a man came up to them most particularly tipsy. He had some business with one of the par ty, and boozy as lie was, showed that he was a smart, shrewd fellow, and withal fond of fun. When he had got through his business, the Judge said to him "I suppose, my friend, you didn't vote on the 'No License' side, this el ection?" "Didn't I, by --?' was the reply "yes I did, though, I tell you." "You did?' inquired the Judge; "how did that happen?' ."Why, Judge, I'll tell you what it is,' hiccuped the follow, "I'm a pretty likely man, when I let liquor alone; it's only when I get rum aboard of me that I make a fool of myself." "Well, why don't you let it alone then?' "0! you see Judge, that's easier said than done. When I'm any whore it is, I must have it, so I voted to shut 'em all up." "Oh! you see Judge, I was consta ble five or six years, and then deputy sheriff three years, and then sheriff three years, and then constable agin; so I've been about a good deal among the boys, and got to drinking, and now I can't stop. Judge, I'll tell you what,' he contimued, with an apparent change of the subject that no one could account for "I, am the universal horse-doctor down in the Highlands, where I live, and if any body's horse gets sick the come to me. The other day a fellow came to me and said his horse was sick. I asked him what was the matter with his horse? He said lie wouln't drink, and lhe asked me. whi ho .e.,1d d. to FI{ E I Mr Th- riend FAA. a. rad .am, Evi. announce lia a is didate for 16he lflce'of Sheiiff at thei next election.
