little fortune Of Eve thousand dollars
he should regard her teuderly, and after
three weeks acquaintanceship, offer her
his hand and heart. Such things have
happened before. and probably will again,
so we will not dwell upon it.
| There was quite wedding at the
house of Annie's guardian, Mr.. Winter!
and the happy young couple established
themselves iu a pretty house on Vine
Avenue. The name was romantic, and
\ the locality was near williams store, so
q with half sigh for her girlish day
dreams of palace and coach house,
Annis settled herself down in her new
homo
/ We have no doubt but William and
Annie were sincere in their love for each
other, and that they truly intended new
er to disagree in any way, shape or man
ner, is a matter of history. But it is
/ well known that most human resolutions
are futile, and those of our friends, it
seems, were no exception.
On wings of gold and pinious of sill
yer the first three weeks of their married
life fey by-"a perfect dream of bliss,
Annie said. Bat an awakening came.
One beautiful morning in July, while
our friends we're at breakfast, wasp
came in at the window, aadas wasps are
prone to, commenced to buzz around the
room. Wiliian had horror of the
species and dropped his knife and fork
in an. instant.
NY love- be said to his wife. 'cannot
that disgusting little insect be removed?
Il takes away my appetite to bear this
humming'
why. Willie, my darling, did not
know you disliked wasps; indeed, they
are pretty creatures, and I love to hear
them sing
MY angel, you have q strange taste
to call that hateful buzz singing It's
very like the sound Of cotton min 6ll-
ed with spinning jennies =
DO you think so, dearf am sur
prised ss youf Why, my friend, ,-James.
Howardson. the young man drove to
despair BY accepting you, darling, in
stead of him, admired the voice of
wasp. He thought 1t was similar to
far-off bassoou.'
'Bassoon, indeed My love, it is very
disagreeable to me to hear Jim Howard
son mentioned be is no friend of mine,
and it is lucky for you that you escaped
s.arryiug him; he would have made your
life miserable
Il don't think so, dear James loved
me very tenderly He has said SO. a
thousand times
'Fiddlesticksl He loved your money;
but, appropos of him-please to get the
wasp out of the house, aud let us finish
our breakfast-it's growing late.'
Why not let him stay till we've done?
I'm sure like to hear him
Aud detest him! Turn him out,
say!' z
Husband, shall do no such thing
Annie, this to meP'
The husband and wife sprang to their
feet simultaneously, and gag at each
other with astonisbed optins. There was
cloud over the bridal moon. Annie
was struggling to keep back her tears,
and William, with .crimsouing brow,
seemed about to anDihilate the world
aud everything in it.
oh, you cruel ungrateful man, only
three weeks married, and begin to play
the tyranti Oh me, oh dearl' Annie
was sobbing violently.
oh, Annie, that should have been
so deceived You, whom thought all
gentleness and love? Oh, the deception
of woman
On, the per6dy of menl Oh, the
hard heartedness of busbandsl Would
that were dead and in my gravel
oh, that were unbornl To grasp
% great q happiness and then have it
torn from my arms ! Ny Godi tits fer.

And the afflicted young man perform
ed suDdry evoiutions in different PARTS
Of the room, succeeding there in break
ing the richly chased slop- bowl of the
breakfast service, and smashing into frag.
ments the pot which contained his wife,
favorite geranium.
The storm had burst It thdndered,
and lightened, and squalled perfect
hurricane of anathemas; the very French
clock on the mantle piece looked down
in wonder, and the unfortunate wasp,
that had been the cause of SO much
commotion in the world, stopped it's
busting to listen.
Tie alteration was long and loud,
and the result was as might have been
6ompreheuded. The adoring couple o f
two hours before were transformed into |
i second Pluto and Belloua; and after
due consideration OF fifteen minutes,
they decided upon divorces.
