A Groom's. Predioament.

A bride tells of q difficult moment
of her recent wedding trip. A few
days of it were spent with an uncle OF
hers, very deaf and very pious.
When they sat down to dinner on
the night of their arrival with con-
sidera Ole company of relatives assem-
bled to do them honor, the uncle ex-
ploded a bombshell by asking the
groom to say grace.
Much embarrassed, as he was unac-
customed to officiating in this way, he
leaned forward murmuring a request
to be excused. WAereupon the uncle,
watching him, only waited until his
lips stopped moving to utter a sonor-
Gus "Amen!" in response.
1t is hardly necessary to add that
not only did the blessing for that meal
go unsaid but also that the effort of
everybody except the uncle to keep
from laughing quite took away the ap-
petites for the first course.-M y 3D.

He Had Enough.

Varied and characteristic were the
methods of discipline of Capt. F.,
the master of one of the most success
full whale-ships that ever sailed from a
New England port. An old sailor
says that when he was what might be
termed "a greeny" he shipped with
Capt. F - for voyage to the Arctic
ocean. After some months of craising
the salt grub" ran short and the crew
were forced to eat the chickens and
ROSTERS which were aboard the ship.
The narrator says:
didn't object to this kind of food,
but there was grumbling among the
men when we were served, day after
day, with fowl. I heard all the talk
and was simple enough to think it
smart to crow Justify whenevervthe
steward was carrying in fowl to the
captains table. So delighted was I
with my efforts that 1 grew bold, and
one day 1 cockle-doodle-dooed just as
close to the captain as I dared. Then
/ got out of the way. After mess
somebody came and told me that the
captain wanted to see me aft.
"Wel, Joe," said the captain, II
hear you are quite a Grower"
I was embarrassed but as the cap
tain looked pleasant L didn't know
anything better to do than to smile
and say nothing.
Il should like to hear what you can
do. Get up there" said the captain,
pointing to a spar.
!. I did not obey at once. The captain
picked up, a ropes end that seemed to
be handy and l climbed up on the
spar.
"Now crow!" said the captain.
"A I couldn't make a sound but the
captain took step nearer and 1
crowed..

to quit"
