The morning comet. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1856-1856, 1856-10-04

who had received from the fair hand
Of bride, piece of elegant wedding
cake to dream on, thus gave the result
Of his experience
We put it under the head Of our
pillow. shut our eyes sweetly as an
infant, and blessed with an easy con-
science, soon snored pfodigionsly.-
The God Of dreams gently touched us.
and 10 in fancy we were married,
Never was a little editor so happy
It was "my love, dearest, sweetest, "
ringing in our ears constantly. oh +!
that the dream had broken off here.
But no, some evil genius put into the
head Of Jour duehy to have pudding
for'dinner, just to please her lord.
In hungrey dream we sat down
10 dinner Well, the pudding mo
ment arrived, and a huge slice almost
obsonred from sight the plate before
us.
Ny DEAR" said we fondly " did
you make this T.
Yes, love, amt 1t nice ?"
Glorious-the best bread pudding
! ever tasted in my life"
Plum pudding, dueky,' suggested
my wife.
40, no, dearest, bread pudding I
always was fond Of EN-"
Call that bread pudding y ex-
claimed my wife, while her lips curl
ed slightly with contempt.
Certainly, my dear reckon I've
had enough at the Sherwood House
to know bread pudding, my love, by
all means"
Husband-this is really too bad j;
plum pudding is twice as hard to
make as bread pudding, and is more
expensive, and is a great deal better
! say this is plum pudding, sir - and
my pretty wiIe's brow flushed with
excitement.
Ny love, my sweet, my dear
love- exclaimed we, soothingly, ado
moi get angry, I'm sure it's very good
if it is bread pudding"
You mean, low wretch fiercely
replied my wife, in higher tone, "you
know it's plum pudding"
Then, ma'an, it is so meanly put
together, and so badly burned that
the devil himself couldn't know it
| tell you, madam, most distiotly and
empbatioally, and will not be contra
dieted, that it is bread pudding, aud
the meanest kind at that
ut is plum pudding shrieked my
wife, as she hurled glass of elaret in
my face, the glass i'self tapping the
olaret from my nose.
Bread pudding y gasped we,
pluck to the last, and grasping a
roasted chicken by the left leg.
Plum pudding y rose above the
din, as I had a distinct perception Of
feeling two plates smashed across my
head.
Bread pudding +" we groaned in
rage as the chicken left our hand,
and flying with sweet wings across
the table, landed In madan's bosom.
Plum pudding Y resoua1ed The
rory from the enemy, as the gravy
dish took us where he had deposited
the first part Of our dinner, and
plate of beets landed upon our white
vest.
Bread pudding foreverl" shout
ed we in defiance, lodging tho turreen
and falling beneath its contents.
Plum pudding T. yelled the am
liable spouse, as noticing our misfor.
tune, she determined to keep US down
by pil|ing upon our head the dishes
with no gentle hand Then in rapid
succession followed the war cries.
Plum pudding p she sbrieked with
every dish.
Bread pudding = in smothered
tones came up from the pile in reply.
Then it was "pIum pudding" in
rapid succession, the last cry growing
feebler, till just as can distinctly re-
collect, it had grown to whisper
Plum pudding" resounded like
thunder, followed by a tremdous crash
as my wife leaped upon the pile with
her DELEGATE feet. and com menced
jumping up and down--when, thank
heaven, we awoke, and thus saved our
life.
We shall never dream on wedding
cake again--that's the moral.
