MEANNEss ExTRAoEDIS aRY.-Some years ago
while Captain Ward was sailing craft ON the
upper lakes, man fell overheard in the eve
ming The fact was Immediately discovered,
and the captain promptly threw number Of
loose articlts into the lake for the drowning
man to seize upon. Among these happened to
be bunch Of shingles from a lot which the I'M
pcrrilIed gentleman was having transported on
! The boat. When the vessel was turned about,
it was found that this bunch had foated within
reach of the man, and that he had sustained
| himself upon it.
| He was taken board, and, without ex-
pressing any gratitude for his deiverance, he
| told the captain, with considerable agitation,
that he should expect pay for his shingles
that had been thrown overheard! Capt. Ward
replied that he was very sorry-that if lie had
known the shingles were his, he would not
have done it!
| This is a true story and when anybody can
beat it, he shall have our hat; and, if he desires
it. a written acknew cement OF our nnquai-

SOME NosE-Thc following incident we had
from a friend who knows the party: Deacon
Comst tock, of Hartford, Connecticut, is well
known as being provided with an enormous
handle to his cOuntenance in the shape OF a
huge nose in fact, it is remarkable for its great
length. On late occasion, when taking up "a
collection in the church to which the deacon
belongs as he passed through the congregation
every person to whom he presented the bag
seemed to be possessed by sndden and uncon-
trolabe desire to laugh The deacon did not
know what to make of it. He had often
passed round before, but such effects as
these had he ever b7fore witnessed The
deacon was fairly puzzled. The secret how
ever, leaked out. He had been afflicted for q
day two with slight his nasal APP
pendage and had placed small piece of stick
ing plaster over it. During the morning Of
the day referred to, the plaster had dropped off,
and the deacon seeing 1t, as he supposed, on
the floor picked it up and stuck it on again.
But alas for who sometimes make unfor-
lunate mistakes, he picked up instead Of it, one
of those little round pieces of paper which the
manufacturers of spool cotton paste On the end
of every spool, and which reads as follows:
"Warranted to hold out 200 yards" Such
sign on such nose, enough to upset the
| gravity of even a puritan congregation, and the
| laughing we think ustiiablc.-Ea.
