A MELTING STORY.

One winter evening a country storekeeper in the Green Mountain State was about closing up for the night, and while standing in tho snow outside, putting up the window shutters, saw through the glass a lounging, worthless fellow within, grub a pound of fresh butter from the shelf, and conceal it in his hat.

The act was no sooner detected than the revenge was hit upon and a #ery ftw minutes found the Green Mountain store-keeper at once indulging his Appetite for fun to the ftillest extent, and paying off the thief with a facetious sort of torture, for which he would hav* gained a premium from the old Inquisition.

I say, Seth," said tho store-keeper, coming in and closing the door after hiin, slapping his handover his shoulders and stamping the snow otf his feet.

Seth had his hand on the door, his hat on hi* head, and the mil of butter in his hat, anxious to make his exit as so«»n as possible.

I say, Seth, sit down I reckon now on such a cold night as this, a little something warm would not hurt a fellow."

Poor Seth now begAn to smoke as well as melt, and his mouth was hermetically sealed up, as though be had been born dumb. Streak after streak oL the butter came pouring frum under hat, and his handkerchief was already soaked with the greasy overflow. Talking away as if nothing was the matter, the fun loving grocer kept stuffing wood into the stove, while poor Seth sat upright, with his back against the counter and his knees touching the red hot furnace before.

Cold night, this," said the grocer, "Why, Seth, you seem to perspire as if you ware warm Why don't you take your hat off? Here, let me put you hat away."*

No," exclaimed poor Seth, at last "No, I must go, let me out, I ain't well let me go."

A greasy cataract was now pouring down the poor man's face and neck, and soaking into his clothes, and trickling down his body into his boots, so that he was literally in a bath of oil.

Well, good night, Seth, said the humorous Vermonter, "if you will go," and adding as he darted out of the door, "I say, Seth, I reckon the fun I have had out of you is worth ninepenoe, so I shan't charge you for that pound of butter in your hat."
