What about z asked Madeline timidly.
About our marriage

a month afterwards the young artist
married the village beauty, with his moth
er's iull consent and blessing. just before
/ the ceremony took place, Madeline cous-
in arrived for the llth time.
What did lie say TO youT asked Fritz,
when the cousin had taken his departure.
That there is a rise in the price of
rosin; and that he would have willingly
married in order to use my dot in grand
speculation that he thinks would have
Turned out vell replied Madeline, who
could not help laughing, as she recalled
ulhe blank disappointment visible in her
cousins face, on learning that she was 10
marry the stranger artist that very morn
ing.
Just as the little party was setting out
for double visit, first 70 the marie, and
4 then TO lhe church, Fritz for the first time
bethouglt hmsefof the grandmother, in
whose chair he had slept so soundly on
the night Of his arrival beneath Dame
Barnard's roof.
How i il that the old lady is not here
to be present at The wedding Of her grand
child? demanded Fritz of the Dame. Is
She still angry with me for having had
Tie tcmerity to share her room at your
bidding, Madame Bernard 4
She is not angry with youg replied
Madame Bernard with a significant smile I;
and She Is not absent either, for she is
going 70 church with you this morning +!
An idea suddenly daried through the
young artists mind.
Ii surely was not Madeline! f! he cried
eagerly.
1t was no otherr returned the Dame.
When stole into her room at daybreak,
to bring her away before you should
wakcn from your heavy sleep, found
her already awake. She had seen you
sleep IN the great armchair, with the first
rays Of the light falling on your head and
should not wonder if she confessed TO
you even before you had seen her
But you surely don't mean TO end your
story there, without even describing she
wedding, and telling US whether your
young friends were happy forever after
wards, a. all story-tellers are in duty
bound 10 doY cried the rest Of the guests,
as the narrator ceased speaking
How very unreasonable replied the
latter. How can you expect me to be so
very prosac? Do not all weddings re-
setnblo one another5 And what scope for
description is there in marriage where
satius, orange wreaths, and other received
adjuncts Of fashionable matrimony are
wanting? Besides, any who wish TO know
how the young people prospered, how the
artists mother received the lovely peasant
bride, (but an educated one, please TO re-
member, NcSdames et NesSiears.) and how
the artist, with the aid of the little bits OF
brushes contriyed to keep the pot boil
, ing, have only TO draw upon their own
imagnations, and they will be tolerable
certain to arrive very nearly at the truth.
With which boutade the company were
obliged to content themselves.
