OLD YORKSHIRE. Some Quaint Examples of That Coun ty’s Humor. From Vie Leeds Mercury. I do not think the people of Yorkshire are ts remarkable for wit as they are for quaint, dry humor; and this latter is generally of a very grim sort. In an essay on the “York shire Dialect,” in Nugea Literaria, the Rev. Richard Winter Hamilton writes: “A week had scarcely elapsed since my arrival (in Leeds) before I determined on an excursion to the Moravian settlement at Fulneck. Ignorant of the way I spoke to a lad %vho was breaking stones by the side of the road, in a common but unmeaning manner, ‘Where does this road go to?’ With con tempt on his face at what he thought a foolish question, he, halt with the air of a chum and half that of a rogue, said: “Go, nowhere; I have kawn it for more nor ten year, and it nivver stirred yet’ “A little out of countenance, but not out of temper I said: “ ‘Whither shall I get to if I drive along this road?’ “ ‘To Pudsey, sure; follow thee nose, an aws as plain as a pikestaff.’ “Thinks I myself, if such be the cub, what must they be who whelped him? If such be the eaglet, little more than callow, what is the region of his sires?” Later on, on the same day, when he sat down to his dinner in a humble cottage, the worthy dame, wishing him to say grace, said: “We are all ready, will ye start us?” He then received tne difficult direction, to “make himself agreeable.” They afterward asked him to “ranch to, and bide no invit ing.” He decided that so far as he was con cealed, for the time, it was a hopeless case. But he loved all this when he had learned more of the people. A gentleman walking in Sheffield found a poor boy crying most bitterly. “What are you crying about,” he in quired. He replied: “All ray brothers and sisters can say what they like to father, bud if I say aught, it’s poison. I nobbud called father an old ewe face, an’ he knocked ma danna into’t ass hoyi, arnongt’ cowks. Egoyl If me an’ my brothers doan’t mind, father will soonin bet’ maister on us.” Here the word nobbud occurs: Chaucer, in his “Wife of Bath,” has— But that I pray to all this company If that I speak after my fancy. As taketh no agrefe of that I say, For mine intent is not but to pay. That is nothing but. Tho following story was commonly told when I was a lad. A certain young lass in Horton was very sick, and supposed likely to rlie. Soon all her relatives and some neigh bors gathered round her bed, and one of them asked her if she had anything on her mind or anything she would like to say be fore she departed. Raising herself upon the bed, and looking round on them all, she said: “There is only one thing that has troubled me. anil I have always been very unhappy ahout it. and that is that I did not eat more plum pudding that day aar Sal were wed.” I have always had the impression that she got better, and did not die at that time. In the village of Clayton, near Brad ford. there formerly dvelt a man named Nathan Bently, who was an inveterate wag. In the same village there lived an old Peninsula veteran who eked out his small tension by hand loom weaving. He lived in j. cellar dwelling, under what is now, I be lieve, the Crown Inn. This old man used to lioast that no man could come over him or ii ap him, so Nathan resolved to try what .vitJd be done to lower him down a peg. "ow, Nathan went every day to Bradford with milk in the morning, and one day he noticed that there was a good-sized pool in the road in front of the dwelling of Hains worth, the old soldier. On returning about noon he stopped the horse and cart at the spot, and began to fumble in his pockets; and finally he sent the horse home with the cart, alone. He then knelt down by the side of the muddy pool, and, doubling up his shirt sleeves, began groping in the mud with his right hand. Hainsworth saw this and his curiosity was excited. Then leaving his loom, he went up to Nathan and asked him what he was looking for. Nathan told him he was looking for a sovereign and begged Hainsworth to help him to find it. He then searched for about twenty minutes in the muddy water* with Nathan on the other side, until a large crowd had gathered round them, a thing easily managed in a village. At length Hainsworth said: “Nathan, where abaats did ta drop thy sovereign?” “Nay,” Nathan replied, “I’ve noan dropt no sovereign; I'm nobbud seeking one.” “Ah! an'nil seek thee, lad, some day.” But Natlian had run off home as fast as his legs could carry him. The old soldier bragged no more after that. In a village not far from the one last men tioned, I knew a man called Tootal, and he used to give out the hymns in the chief chapel of the place. It was then the cus tom, before organs and harmoniums were used in places of religious worship, for the choir, if there was one, to use the tuning fork to get the proper pitch for the tune. On one occasion, when Mr. Tootal was about to give out the hymn, the proper pitch was given him, but either through careless or inattention he failed to respond properly. The consequence was that after a short effort the choir came to a full stop. The leader then turned toward tho pulpit and said: “John, you have given out the hymn on the wrong key.” To which he replied: “Whether I’ve given it out on tho wrong key or not, ye’ve gotten into’t lock.” On another occasion, during the reign of George IV., a friend of mine entered a cnapel in the v illage of Allertou, when one of the deacons was offering up the prayer before the sermon. After asking that the blessing of heaven might rest on the then royal family, he exclaimed: “Lord bless his present majesty who sits on the throne of England. Prepare him, I pray Thee, to wear a crown in neaven, for that knaws, Lord, at he wor nivver fit ta wear an earthly one J” Yorkshiremen are well known for being plain in their language and this was suf ficiently so, but quite characteristic of the West Riding people. In the same chapel, before they' had a reg ular choir of singers, it was usual for some one in the congregation to set the tunes, and there were always one or two in the con gregation who could be relied on for that duty. One Sunday morning the one who should have struck the tune hod a bad cold. However, he tried two or threo times to start tho tune from his place in the gallery, but failed. He then shouted across the rhapel to another man who sometimes of ficiated: “I say, thee, Jacky Wilkinson, thee set the tune this morning, I cannot, for I’ve getton a kittlin e’ me throlt.” At which the people laughed, as a kit tling in Yorkshire means a kitten. What he meant was a tickling. Before the introduction of instrumental music into tho Dissenting chapels in the West Riding, there was great disappoint ment among the choirs nt its exclusion and very strong devices were resorted to to mas ter tho opposition. In the Tetley street Baptist Church, Bradford, the following de vice was bit upon: The musical portion of the congregation anil choir formed them selves into n hand and bought all the in struments needed. On these they practiced until they were all ready for tho attempt, when they got pomeasion of the key of tho school, where tnere was uu entrance into tho chapel. On the Saturday evening all the instruments were hicl away under the 'eats of the singeiV news, and when the min irter gave out uie first hymn on Sunday morning they were all dragged out and the players played anil the singers sang, and there was an end of the matter. The boss viol won the Little, and all opposition in tlie congregation broke down at once and the enemies of instrumental harmony heartily accepted the change. Every one knows that the men of the \Veit Riding are keen after money whej they take that way, A young man, who had been for some'time courting a young woman, told his intended father-m-law that he and Mary thought of “getting wed.” “I think it’s time you did,” was the re ply- “ Aye, but how much will ye gie her?” “I sal give her £1,000.” “Nay, bud ye’ll gie her more nor that.” “No, t shall not. Her sisters have £I,OOO each, an’ she’ll hev’ the same.” “Ah, bud yd forget that Mary’s the faalest of the lot.” He had chosen the plainest of the family, the ugly duckling, in expectation that her father would give her a large dowry to get her off his hands. Here is another similar anecdote, but it is a woman this time. Not far from Brad ford an old couple lived on their farm. The good man had been ill for some time, when the doctor who attended him advised that a physician should be called in from Bradford for a consultation. The physician came, looked into the case, gave his opinion and de scended from the room to the kitchen, and was there accosted by the old woman with: “Well, doctor, what’s your charge f ’ “My fee is a guinea!” ‘A guinea, doctor, a guinea! An’ if ye come agean will it be another guinea?” “Yes, but 1 shall hardly have to come again; I have given my opinion and I leave him in good hands.” “A guinea, doctor, hey?” The old woman rose, went upstairs to her husband and the doctor heard ner say: “He charged a guinea an’ if he comes Xui it will be another guinea Now, t do you say ? If I wereye I’d say ‘No’ like a Britoner and I’d die first.” This is from “A Month in Yorkshire,” by Walter White, 1859. This which follows is culled from the Family Herald: Two horses, a white and a sorrel, were matched for a race in York shire. The betting was high on the white, but the sorrel had its backers. The day be fore the race it was discovered by the friends of the white that he was off his feed and would be in no condition to run. So they made up a purse and with it bribed the rider of the sorrel to lose the race and let white take the lead. To their amazement, how over, the sorrel horse won the race. “We are sold, sure as a gun,” said one of the bribers to the other. “Did you pay him the money?” asked the other. “Yes, I did; and he swore we should win. ” “Bless my soul,” said the other, “is there no such thing as an honest man left in the world?” heaving a sigh of vast proportions. The Villain Relented. From Texas Siftings. Some twenty years ago, when John A. Ellsler was manager of the Academy of Music in Cleveland, there was a man con nected with the stock company in the ca pacity of heavy villain, who, while he was a good actor, hail an inordinate fondness for sack, to draw it mildly, which he never did. We will call him De Budge, which is safer than to give his real name, for he is living yet, we think. At least we will give our selves the benefit of the doubt. Deßudge was a very tender-hearted man when full of his name. He would weep profusely over any tale of woe, no matter how remote it might be from his own time and environment. He used to say that he couldn’t hurt a fly, and he couldn’t, when the bar keeper put it in his lemonade, as he generally did. One afternoon when in his cups De Budge was discovered weeping as though his heart would break. When asked the cause he said he was thinking how cruel it was to make the Egyptians cross the Red Sea in pursuit of the'lsraelites without first supplying them with life-preservers. You can gather from the above what kind of a heavy villain De Budge was when load ed to the guards. One night when the play was “'William Tell,” De Budge was cast for the tyrant, Gessler, an equally heavy but more temper ate villain appearing as the “Hero of Switz erland.” De Budge had been budging pretty heav ily during the afternoon, and when he came to his dressing-room to dress for his part it was observed that he was full. However, he managed to pull through very well until they came to the scene where Tell is com manded to shoot the apple from his child’s head. “Ferocious monster!” exclaimed Tell. “Make a father murder his own child!” De Budge’s chin began to quiver, but he man aged to stammer: “D —d—does he consent ?” Tell —“With his own hand! Murder his child with his own hand!” De Budge’s eyes filled with tears, and it was evident to those who knew him that he would soon begin to blubber. Tell —The hand I’ve led him when an in fant boy! ’Tis too much for flesh and blood to “Thash sho,” blubbered De Budge. “Don’ shoot, Tell, don’ shoot! I know jish how you feel.” The prompter cursed at tho wing and tried to set him right, but Tell, hoping that the paroxysm would pass over, went right on with his part: “Sir, have you no children?” This gave the finishing blow to De Budge. He shrieked: “Yes, I have. Bill—two splen’ boys! I love’m—hie —like er life’s blood. Don’ sk —sh —hie—oot, Bill, don’ sh—oot!” And he stumbled forward, attempting to throw himself into Tell’s arms, that he might weep upon his breast. It is hardly necessary to add that De Budge was seized and dragged off R. U. E.. and the curtain rung down. PAIN KILLER.
