blessed with an easy conscience, and soon
snored prodigiously The god of dream
gently touched Us, and presently in fancy
we were married Never was a little
editor 50 happy 1t was my love,
dearest" Sweetest" ringing in our
cars every moment. Oh, that the dream
had broken off here But no some
evil genius put it into the head of our
ducky to have pudding for dinner, Just
TO please her lord
In a hungry moment we sat down to
dinner. Well, the pudding moment ar
rived, and huge slice obscurod from

"Call that bread pudding :" said my
wife, while her lips slightly curled with
contempt

together and so badly burned that the
devil himself wouldn't know. tell you,
madam, most distinctly and cmphatically,
and | will not be contradicted that it is
bread pudding-and the very meanest
kind, at that

wife, as she hurled glass of claret in
my face, the glass itself tapping the
clarct from my nose.
Bread pudding p gaspcd we, pluck
to the last, and grasped a roasted chicken
by the left leg.
Plum pudding rose above the din,
as we had distinct perception Of two
plates smashed across our head.
/" Bread pudding" we groanod in a
rage, as the chicken left our hand, and
flying with swift wings across the table,
landed in madam's bosom.
90 Plum pudding y resounded the war
cry from the enemy, as the gravy dish
took us where we had been depositing
the first part of our dinner, and u plate
Of boets landed upon our white vest
Bread pudding forever" shouted
we in defiance, dodging the soup tureen,
and falling beneath its contents

spouse, as noticing our misfortune she
determined to keep us down by piling on
our head the dishes with no gentle hand
Then in rapid succession, followed the
war cries. "Plum pudding y she shrek

thunder, followed by tremendous crash
as our wife leaped upon the pile with her
delicate feet, and commenced Jumping
up and down when, thank Heaven, we
awoke, and thus saved our life. We
shall never dream on wedding cake again
