It is pretty well known among the circle of his acquaintances, and the townspeople generally, that Mr ----, the old established and highly _respectable_ tradesman of THIS NEIGHBOURHOOD is much addicted to wenching, and that he is known to nearly every boy and girl in the town, big or little, as the “OLD RAM,” or “BILLY GOAT.” And it is also well-known that his wife, who is as nice and amiable a little body as ever laid on a husband’s shirt-tail--can never keep a maid-servant with a tolerable agreeable face, but he is sure to be in pursuit of her; and only this year they have had in their service Mary Carter, Jane Baker, Martha Price, Jemima Smith, Harrietta Johnson, Sarah Tompkins, and Betsy Rogers, all of whom have left at a short notice in consequence of the _rumbustiousness_ of Mr ----. A few weeks ago Mrs ---- engaged with a very pretty girl named Fanny H----, but no sooner did “The Old Ram” behold her than he was smitten with her charms, considering her as a domestic treasure, of which, he flattered himself, he should soon be possessed. Accordingly, Mr ---- took every opportunity in the absence of her mistress to say civil things, which so tormented the girl, that she soon gave her mistress warning. Mrs ----, the tradesman’s wife, having taken a great liking to this servant, was very sorry to part with her, offered to increase her wages, and diminish her labour; but these kind overtures had no effect, the young woman saying it was impossible for her to stay. This peremptory declaration excited Mrs ----’s curiosity to know what could give the girl so great a disgust of the place, when, upon being interrogated closely upon the subject, she replied, “Why then, Madam, to tell the truth, my master teazes me so much in your absence that I have no comfort of my life. I would not mind, continued the girl, if he was a handsome and a young man, but to be tormented by such _an ugly fellow_ is insupportable.” “An ugly fellow! resumed Mrs ----, with great warmth,--what, call my husband _an ugly fellow_? Get out of the house this instant, you jade,”--then stamping her foot in great rage, she immediately discharged the girl. Printed by J.
