Wouldn't be Pleased,

Some time ago there lived in Edinburgh
a well-known grumbler named Sandy
Black, whose often recurring fits of spleen
or indigestion produced some amusing
scence of senseless irrirability, which we're
highly relished by all except the brute's
good, patient little wife. One morning
Sandy rose bent on quarrel. The had
diDs and eggs were excellent, done to a
turn, and had been ordered by himself the
previous evening and breakfast passed
without the look for compliment.
What will you have for dinner,
Sandy?" said Mrs, Black.
"a chicken, madam. said the husband
Roasted or broiled2"
''Confound it, madam, if you had been
good and considerate wife you would
have known before this what | liked, y
Sandy growled out, aud slamming the
door behind him, left the house. 1t was
in the spring, and a friend who was
present heard the little wife say:
"Sandy's bent on disturbance to-day;
| shall not please him, do what / can"
The dinner time came and Sunday and
one friend sat down to dinner. The fish
were eaten in silence, and on raising the
OONOA Va 0toA bOAOAS III q
passion be called out:
Boiled chickenl / hate it, madam.
A chicken boiled is chicken spoiled
immediately the cover was raised from
another chicken roasted to turn.
Madam, | won't eat roast chicken.
roared Sandy: you know how it should
have been cooked"
At that instant a boiled chicken, with
mushrooms was placed on the table.
WITHOUT green peas?' roared the
grumbler.
Here they are, my dear, said Mrs,
Black
''How dare you spend my money in that
way?"
They were a present. said his wife,
interrupting him.
Rising from his chair, and rushing from
the room, followed by roar of laughter
from his friend, he clinched bis FIST and
shouted:
How dare you receive present with
out my leave2"
