approval Of the matter by indulging in
. serenade Of such gigantic proportions
that the din caused people miles away to
think that the world was coming to An
end. Twelve horse fiddleS with cannon
and tin fsh-horns, seemed to shake the
earth. One couple presented them
selves 10 be married. and, in answer to
the question: DO you take this woman
to b your lawful welded wifer he
would break in with: why, Of course;'
I would proceed: TO care for in sickness
and in health?' when the groom would

quiet, when he turned to her with the
question: Hey, Polly. what you want?'

on the very edge of the rocks, black

stealthily. Five seconds more and
they could spring upon him.

4 Thrifty Farmer.

The grasping-though not miserly
nature OF the native New England
farmer is somewhat proverbial. 1t
is hard to get the better Of him in

anything for nothing. His keen
ness in this respect was well Illus
trated by an experience of a young
Boston man who recently spent
a week in New Hampshire. The
Young man wanted to hire a boat
for the day, and the farmer owned
one which was moored to the bank
of the river, Can you let me have
your boat for the day?" he asked
of the owner. well, let me see, y
