The husband of lady of fiery temper says
that before their marriage be was warned of
her fiery disposition, and to test the accura-
cy of the information. one evening" as be sat
next 70 ber at dinoer, he managed ceserly
to jog the servants elbow, as plate Of mock
turtle SOUP was offered her, which of course
was upset over the young lady's white dress
of tule lace. No complaint nor even
frown. being evinced, the deig hted sultor
concluded that what be had heard was mis-
take, and the marriage took place; but soon
the lady's real character displayed ITSELF as
is always the case after marriage, but neVer
before, and bis wife like human otrom-
boli was subject to fiery eruptlons every ten
minutes upon an average. "How is 1t, my
dear" said the happy husband, "tbat having
such bad temper, you stood the ordeal by
soup so well!" Why" answered the lady,
Il may have appeared Indifferent at the time:
but, good heavens! you should have only gone
into 10Y room little while afterwards, and
seen the marks of my teeth on the bed post.'
