Show A liutcber Boy Escapade. From time immemorial butcher boys have bten looked upon as bad udb; and nctwithstanding the pro-grfes pro-grfes made in all directions in this enlightened age, thia incendiary character ia as immutable in bia wicked conduct as tbe laws of nature. Thia fact was aptly and almost ecri-ouEly ecri-ouEly illustrated in one of the lower warda yesterday. The butcher boy was riding gaily along tbe sireeta on bis foaming Roeinante, a basket of meat on bia arm and a demoniac smile, as of approaching evil, playicg across his grim countenance. H:3 mind was lost to all surrounding! in the rapture of tbe wickedneaadone the day before, and thus he jogged along. At thii ioatant a beautiful specimen of approaching womanhood stepped out of a gate and began to croas the street. She was fair (very), her eyea blue (Jeep), her hair golden (sunny), and a light and happy smile played around her cUasic features (beatifio). Ha! the butcher boy baholdi her and for one moment (only one), bis base heart is filled with the vision (delightful). - ihen tbe evil of liia nature asserts itself (muohly); he is sensible to al! around him (remarkably), and the reflection that no evil had been done this day fills bia aoul (diminutive). His mind ia made up, we might 6ay he had decided. de-cided. With a wild wboop he whips his weary charger, which in a moment mo-ment strikes the fair maiden and fella her to earth (mother). The long treesea (golden) are mingled with tbe dust (muchly), and the hoofs of the charger (wild) are dancing a Highland fling over her form (prostrate). The hero (handsome doctor) now appears ap-pears on the Bcene. Good. He dives for the horse, g(abs tbe reins, jerks the b, b. from his : CBat and lands him in tbe dusl. The ! hero (handsome doctor) throws his: armB wildly about the lovely maiden, ; and lifta her up (to her feet.) He asks how Btfe feels, (sympathetic); drops the girl; shakes the boy (immensely); again eupports the young lady (unfortunate); (un-fortunate); 'nother man shakes butcher boy, aud triea to embrace the girl; doctor (handsome) does not care to let him; doctor again shakes bad butoher boy, and finding other fellow supporting young lady, flings arena around horse's neck (tableau); bad butcher boy cries; doctor (handsome) again shakes him; girl also shakes him; shakes doctor; shakes 'nother fellow; horse Bhakes cfl; boy shakes fist (dirty); shake al! around (grand).
