Not Quite Satisfied.

“You say you are from New York?” queried an old farmer in Massachusetts of a New Yorker, who had halted at the farm-house to ask for a drink of buttermilk. “Yes.” “Do business there ?” . “Yes; I’m in Wall street. I am a broker.” “Broker, eh? Do niuch breaking?” “Well, I’ll leave that to my customers to decide. I do the best I can, however.” “Well, you look as if yon might be respectable if you had a chance,” said the old farmer; and turning the corner of the house he called out to his wife, in a voice plainly heard at the gate; “Say, Mariar, here’s a feller from New York who wants a glass of buttermilk. He looks all right and I guess he’ll pay cash down, but it won’t do any harm to thin it down pretty well with spring water.” — Wall Street News.
