PULL TOGETHER ID have here
read" says the Rev. Dr.. Wise, in his "Bri-
dial Greetings" "of bridegroom who glori-
ed in his .eccentrci,ies. He requested his
bride to accompany him into The garden 9
dav or two after the wedding. He then
threw line over The roof Of their collage.
Giving his wife one end Of it, he re,res.ed
TO the other side, and exclaimed: 'PuIl the
line p She pulled it, q, his request, as far
as she could. He cried: Pull it over!' Il
can't y she replied. Pull with all your
migh,r shouted the whimsical husband
But in vain were ell the efforts Of the bride
to pull over the line, so long as the husband
held on to the opposite end. Bot when he
came round, and they both pulled at one
end, i, came over with gres. ease. There,
he ssid, as the line fell from the roof, y ou
see how hard and ineffec,ual was our labor
when we pulled in opposition 10 each Other;
but how easy and pleasan. it is when both
pull together! If we oppose each other, i,
will be hard work; il we act together, il
will be plesssn, to live Let US therefore

Touch SToRY.-Dave Cunstable says
there is one advantage about old-fashioned
ftigates, they drag so much dead water be-
hind, tha. il man falls overheard on Mon
day you need no. stop ill Friday to pick
him up. He never gets bey ond few yards
from the stern post. In confirmation OF
this opinion, he refers us to well-known
anecdo,e connected with Capt. Pompous Of
ftigs,e "Wash Tub" One evening while
running up the Mediterranean under a Ole
horse breeze. Pompous came on deck jus.
before sundown, and entered into the fol-
lowing conversation with Mr.. Smile, the
6rsi lieutenant.
~ heard lIule noise on deck jus. now,
Mr.. Smile. Wha. was the cause Of :"
"A men fell from the fore yard, sir"
Without saying another word, Csp.sin
Pompous returned to the cabin, and was
no, seen again until next morning after
breakfast, when he once more refreshed the
deck with his presence, and entered into
with the frs, lieutenant.
~ think you told me, Mr.. Smile, that q
man fell overheard from the fore yard last
night"
~ cid sir"
"Have you picked him up ye'?"
mo, SIR"
"Well, you had better do it some time
during the morning, or the poor devil will
begin to s,arve."
The lieu.enan. obeyed orders, lowered 9
boat sbou, noon, and found the gentleman n
who had disappeared from the fore yard bu,
eighteen inches further ss,ern than he wss
fourteen hours before. He was lying on
his beck, fast asleep.
We get this from an ''eye-wi,ness."
