The following will bear c.publishinS
occasionally -
Some time ago there lived in Edin-
burgh well known grumbler, named
Sandy Black, whose often recurring fits
of spleen or indi5 i5o3tion produced some
amusing scenes of seaseiess irritabiity,
which were highly relishod by all ex
oept the brute's good, patient little wife.
One morning Sandy rose bent on a
quarrel The haddies and eggs were
excellent done to a turn, and had been
ordered by himself the previous eron-
ing and breakfast passed without the
looked for cause Of complaint.
What will you have for dinner,
Sandy ?" said Mrs. Black.
" A chicken, madam" said Black.
Roast or boiled p asked the wife.
Confoupd it, madam, if you had
been good and considerate wife, you
would have known before this what l
lked," growled Sandy, and, slamming
the door behind him, left the house.
1t was in the spring, and friend who
was present heard the little wife say.
" Sandy's bent on a disturbance to.
day shall not please him, do what [
can"
The dinner-time came, and Sandy
and his friend sat down to dinner the
fish was eaten in silence, and, on raising
the cover of the dish before him, in a
towering passion he called out,
- l
A chicken boiled is chicken spoiled" "
immediately the cover was raised
from another chicken, roasted to turn.
Madam, l won't eat roast chicken y
roared Sandy; you know how il
should have been cooked
At that instant a broiled chicken
with mushrooms, was placed on The
table
Without green peas " roared the
grumbler. ...a
Here they are, DEAR" said Mrs. B
" How dare you spend my money il
that way?"
" They were present." said th'
wife, interrupting him. .a
Rising from his chair and rushing
from the room, amid roar Of laughte
from his friend, he clcnched his fs
and shouted How dare you receive
