Defrraniucd to (Jrumble. \ . t It is possible the following may be sag- • gwrlive even to soma of ihe exemplary hoi1 j bauds who road ins Ocean Wol* : 1 Some time ago there lived in Kdinbnrgb, j ewwll-koown grumbler named Sandy Hlaek, whose often recurring fits of spleen or iudi- ' | gestion produced some amusing scehvs of ' aeDvelesa irritability, which were highly rosenveless irritability, which highly

lisbed by all except the brute's good, paiittlo wife. One morning Sandy rose bent oa a-duarrel ; Ihe baddies aod egg* excellent, done to a torn, aud had been ordered by himself the previous oven, ; end breakfast passed without the cau«o of complaint. " What will you have for dinner, Sandy?" said Mrs. Black. "A chicken," said the hoshaod. "Komi or boiled?" asked the wife. "Confound it ! if yot had been a good and csnxiderate wife, you'd have known bethis what I liked," Sandy growled oot, and (lamming tbe door behind him, left tb* house. It was in epriog, and a friend who present heard thw little wife say, "San • bent on a dUtuibanc* to-day ; I shall oot pleMe him, do what 1 can." Tbe dinner time came, aod Saody and bis friend set down to dinner; the fish wm eaten in alienee, aod 00 raising tb* cover of the di*h before him, io a lowering pMsion be celled out, "Boiled chicken! 1 bet* it ! A chicken boiled ia a chicken spoiled." Immediately tbe cover wm raised from another chicken, roasted to R torn. "1 won't eat roMl chickeo!" roared | Saody, "you know bow it should have been 1 cooked I" . _ I At the instant a broilsd chicken, wilh maahrooRis, wa« placed on the table. "Without green peas 1" roared tb* grtmbler. "Hera ibe are, dear," said Mrs. Black. "How daro you spend my money in that way ?" "They were a present," said the wife, ' interrupting bim. ltising from his cbalr, end rushing from tbe room, amidst a roar of laughter from his friend, be clenched bis flit end ahonted, "How dare yon receive e present without 1 my leave?" Where did He get Ills Whiskey T t A correspondent or the Logan GazM* -ays the charge mad* by tba Republican , (bat President Johnson wm drunk whan b* , made his 22d of February speech, ramiode ; htm of an rociJeol that oecorred at tbe , White lions* eems^ tint* during th* lale , civil -sr.

"I wonder wbaro tb* devil ha gets hi* whiskey," rer tpnit.'ed Mr. Lincoln ; "1 would Ilk* to r e.-nd Banks and Bailer tsch a barrel of tbe I same sort." — The kindest been is thai which shrinks F rather at its own Inhumanity than at ao- ■ other's.
