TIE PUDDING CAPTAIN.

A friend tells story Of Yankee Captain and
his mate, something after this fashion. When
ever there was plum pudding sdeby the cap
iain's ORDERS all the plums were put into one end
OF 1t, and that placed next TO the captain, who af-
ter helping himself, passed il 10 the mate Who mr.
yer found any plutns in his part Of it. Well, az
ter this game had been played for some time, he
prevailed on the steward to place the end which
had no plums in il next TO the captain. The cap
tain sooner saw the pudding than he discover
ed that he had the wrong end OF If. Picking up
the dish, and turning ii in his hands, if merely
examining the China, he said, "tbis dish cost me
two shilIjngs in Liverpool" and put it down a.
gain, as though without design, and with the plum
end next to himself. cit is possibe4" said the
mate, taking up the.dish, Il shouldn't suppose IL
was worth more than one shilling and, as if il,
perfect innocence, he put the dish down withitbe
plum end next TO himself The captain Iaugsed
the mate laughed. 81 tell you what, younf
one" said the captain. "youve found me obs
this time so we'll just cut the pudding lenI.,
wise this time. and have Iho plums fairly dis.f:,
butcd hereafter"

FAREWELL TO SUMMER


FAREWELL TO SUMMER.
Farewell to thee, Summer
And thy sweet scented flowers,
Thy warm pleasant sunshine.
And cool fragrant showers.
Pale, pale arc thy leaves,
And their beauties arc fed,
And the winds sigh out mournfully
Summer is dead!
There's sound in the air
OF the cricket's lono mirth,
And heard are its notes
Round tie ecttager's hearth;
The notes Of the bird,
That once greeted the ear
Are hushed pow in silence
Pale Autumn is here!
1t comes with a blight.
A chill, with'ring breath.
And leaves on fair Summer
The impress of deefh.
., WI 4. $500 arr
OF its absence tar tell
