VERY SIGNIFICANT

    A tenant of a Cumberland clergyman went to
pay his rent at the dinner hour, and was desired
to wait.  A young daughter of the parson begged
that the tenant might be allowed to come in - he
was such a funny man.  He came in, and, being
directed to sit near the fire, was asked a number
of questions about his far.  One of these was,
"How was the sow getting on?"  "O, she pig't
a barrowful, and yan mair nor she has paps for."
"And how does the odd one do while the rest are
sucking?"  "It sits and looks on as I do."
