 And when chair is in the way Itseems 10 make him so blamed mad
 He don't know hardly what to say. He jumps at every little sound,
 And says that we disturb his rest; He bites his nails and walks around,
 And troub,e seems to fill his breast. He hasn't any appetite,
 And says that everything is wrong: It makes him mad enough to fight e
 When anyone bursts into song. There's nothing seems to make him glad
 He finds fault with us all the while; He's lost the interests he had.

 There's nothing pleases him no more We wish he'd turn his new leaf back
 And be the pa he was before. -S. E. Riser, in Chicago Record Herald

The Negligent Captain.

Panic, more or less suppressed, seizes many passengers on an ocean liner when anything out of the ordinary happens, said the ships officer. "Often they are cranks who seems to be obsessed with the belief that their opinions will help navigate the ship, and who pursue the engineer or the Captain with inces- sant advice.
 On our last trip, which was very rough. one old gentleman tried to reach the bridge where the Captain was, and had to be halted by force.
 "'But want to ask the Captain about the crew. he fumed. Is the crew trustworthy? What shall we do If sink l? What shall tell my wife?'
 1.-Two sailors were detailed to take him below with instructions to remain and answer his questions.
 "When we reached port his first act was to call on the president of the steamship company for the purpose of giving notice that he would never travel on another ship of their line. Said he:
 "'It was only by miracle that any of your passengers reached port at all. In the midst of all that storm, with the sea to swallow us all, your Captain slunk away where not a soul could reach him.
