The Sea Serpent.

From the New York Herald.
Poor Capt. Obed Knowlton has n hard
life OF IL. The young men wink Mt each
other as he goes by and the maldens litter
in the most distracting manner. The
difficulty with Captain Obed is that he
solemnly AYERS that he has seen a vcr-
table sea serpent. The minister looks
sad as he listens TO the story aud then
mildly remarks that there is room for one
more in the prohibition party. The
deacons zine inn with the miristcr and
plead with Obed to take the pledge, draw
ing terrible pictures of tho delirium tre-
mems and other little matters Of the same
kind.
Captain Obed is dazed and discouraged.
Still be vows aud yums that when Oft the
Nova Scotia coast be saw floating on the
water a creature ~ feet long, ~ feet wide,
lis sides striped like zebra and on It's
back hard shell like that of turtle.
We extend 10 Captain knowlton the as
surance OF our distinguished considera-
ton and 10 the sea serpent our regrets
that business engagements made II ncccs-
sary for him to depart without cross
examination by our senate investigating
committee.
