Show Scotch Thrift. An Englishman, an Irishman and a I Scotchman, making a tour around the city a short time since, were observed looking through a confectioner's window win-dow at a lieautiful young woman serving serv-ing in the shop. "Oh!" exclaimed Mr. Patrick, "do let us be after spending half a crown with the dear craytur, that we may look at her convaniently, and have a bit of chat wid her." "You extravagant ex-travagant dog," said Mr. Bull. "I'm sure one half of the money will bo sufficient; suffi-cient; bnt let us go in, by all means; she's a charming girl." "Ah, wait a wee," interposed Mr. McAndrew; "dinna ye ken it'll serve our purpose equally vrrel just to ask the bonnie lassie to gie us twa sixpences for a shilling, and inquire in-quire where's Mr. Toompson's house, and sic like. We're no hungry, and may as weel save tho siller." Birmingham Mercury |
