He Was Particular.

An old fisherman in Nartle, Devon, made it one of the chief ends of his life to keep his boat immaculate. On one occasion, a gentleman had hired him to take himself and young lady, out for an afternoons fishing. The boat could not be brought near enough to the shore for them to step in; so the old sailor removed his shoes and stock ings, and taking the young lady in his arms, was about to deposit her on board, when he caught sight of some mud on her pretty pair of boots. h. stantly he stopped and dipped both her feet up to the ankles in the sea, pad ding them back and forward to remove the mud, in spite of the protests of the the owner. His only remark, as he finally put her on board, was: ''Blesa yer, miss, salt water won't give yer the snuff1es"
