Mike's Mistake.
Barney Murphy went to sea, and in a few years became a captain. When returning after one of his long voyages, he brought with him a wonderful monkey, which he called 'Barney.' Having anchored off Inniahowen, an old comrade went on board to aee him ; but the captain was below, and when Mike asked for Barney, the first officer pointed over to the monkey. Mike ran aft, and, holding ont his hand to the baboon, shouted :
'Veryglad to aee ye, Barney; but, faith, now, the salt water has changed ye terribly.'
