An Editors Dream a slice OF Wedding Cake.
1t is good old custom always to furnish your
friends Slice of wedding cake to dream on well
as plenty to eat If you simply put it under your
pillow after eating moderately at supper, you will
likely dream pleasant dreams but if you eat too
much before lying down. then look out for trouble
Our brother of the Evansville, Indiana, Journal late
suffered in this way and here is his sad experience
Be warned, We eaters of too much wedding cake
"With the wedding notice in another column, we
received from the fair hands of the Bride piece of
the elegant wedding cake to dream Well, we
put it under pillow, shut eyes sweetly an
infant, and blessed with an easy conscience soon
snored most prodgously. The spirit of dreams gen.
thy touched us, and lot in fancy, married !!
Yes, at side stood fair being, the bride of a
week. who looked more fit for heaven than earth,
and as the sequel proved we were afterwards sorry
she did not belong above and had stayed there alto
gether. Time few by like dream. For nearly three
weeks the god of love seemed to have taken the hap
py couple to himself Never was little editor so
happy It was my love- my dove dearest,
'sweetest-ringing in our ears every moment we
could be caught from business, which all the
time, so much did we like this novel language and
the fond caresses Oh that the dream had been bro
ken off here and had been left to anticipate such
joys without an alloy part to be of our future
history But no! some evil genius placed it in the
head of our ducky to have pudding for dinner just
to please her lord. In hungry dream We sat down
to dinner, promising oursef desert of kisses well
as being promised a desert of pudding. Well the
pudding moment arrived, and huge slice almost
obscured from sight the plate before us.
