THREE CHANCES ron A WIFE.-When
a man has three chances for a wife, il
is a hard misch ance if it should fail.
The following is one OF those cases which
might have occurred down east, but VIC
are rather doubtful if similar event
was ever known in any other part Of the
world But let US give the experience
OF the gentleman, who had three
chances, in his own language:
q" once courted gal by the name
of Deb Hawkins. made it up 10 get
married. Well, while we were going
up 10 the Deacon's | stepped my foot
into a mud puddle, and spattcrcd the
mud all over Deb Hawkins new gown,
made out Of her grandmother old
chintz peticoat. Well, when we got TO
the Deacons, he asked Deb il she would
take me for her lawful welded hus-
band ? No. says she, | shan't do no
such thing What on airth is the
reason 2 says |. Why says she. 'l'vc
taAen a misliken 10 you Well, it was
all up with me then, but gave her a
string Of beads, a few kisses, some other
notions. and made it all up with her so
we went up 10 the Deacon's second
time. | was determined to come up TO
her this time, SO when the Deacon asked
me if would take her for ny lawful,
welded wife, says !, No, | shan't do
no such thing Why says Deb, what
on airh is the matter - Why says |,
" have taken mislikin' 10 you now
Well, there it was up again, but gave
her Il new apron, and lew other little
trinkcts and we went up again to get
married. We expected that we should
be tied so fast that all nature couldn't
separate us, and when we asked the
Deacon il he wouldn't marry US, he said,
No, | shant do no such thing Why,
what on airlh is the reason 2 said we.
Why says he, | have taken mis-
liken' to both of you.'--Deb burst out
crying, tn, Deacon burst out scolding
and burst out laughing, and such set
