Well, We happened 10 be around
when one Of The aforesaid cakes was
cut, aud the generous recipient, not
desirous Of plsening herself, or dying
young, gave us a royal "slab,' for
the dclcctatlon Of our ''innar,ls' and
the tickling Of our palate. We ac.
ccpted the donation, and after de-
voutly saying "Ana, mana, mona,
mi,' and Offering up several other
equally beautiful petitions, prepared
TO bolt the dangerous compound.
A suggestion was oiIcrcd-we are
always glad TO hear suggestions
"Savc a piece to dream on" Ac-
ccpted the amendmcnt--prcscrvcd n
chunk--rollcd II up at night, In a
piece Of tinfcil tobacco paper, and
placing II upon our virtuous couch,
and smoothing our virtuous pillow
over the same, carefully laid our vir-
tuous head on both, and shortly
slumbcrcd-but, ye gods, what slum-
bers!
Dreamed nightmarcd that we
were about TO marry--didn't mind
that very much---only bride insisted
on going veiled to the altar--surc il
was all right, thought II best not 10
raise a row on that account, and sub
mitted 10 let the ceremony proceed
with alacrity. Parson had no nose
wanted us to lend him ono of ours,
took ont three, assorted sizes, told
him to take his pick--the fool stuck
them all on-askcd us if we were
ready-said "yea"- asked us what
we would takc-told him "whiskey
sour'--instead of acceding to our re-
quest he told us that we were law
fully and In a hospitablc and "loyal'
manner made one nesh-asked him
what was the cost Of the little o.
cursion-parson told us he would
take one thousand dollars for the
job, children under ten years Of age

said he. Turned to ask wife how
she was furnished for stamps, found
that we had married something q
