that he likes sholt couriships, and in This
Adam acled like sensible mamie fell

self married man. He appears TO have
popped the question Immediately after
meeting Ma'mselle Eve; and she, with
out filtration or shyness, gave him kiss

thoughts, and sometimes IN poetical mood
have wished we were tire man that did it.
But the deed is, or was done the chance

private wedding, and Adams was strict
y private. No envious beaux was there
no croaking old maids, no chattering
aunts and grumbling grandmothers. The
birds of heaven were minstrels, and the
glad sky shed its light upon the scene.
One thing about the first wedding brings
queer things into our heads. spite Of
scriptural truth. Adam and his wife
were rather young 10 be married some
