some fifty or more stands OF breech'ioao'

looked curious, bat said nothing, no one
venturing to ask him to rise and explain
He did not know it was joke played upon
him until the attendant told il as such to
the company.
Finally the happy couple went to house
keeping, and never were man and wife more
heartily congratulated or more highly es-
teemed than thew were. They were the
favorites of the city. Never was wife mere
lovely or husband more kind and devoted,
but he didn't know anything about provid-
ing for the larder, only as Sarah taught him.
One little incident may suffice to illustrate.
She told him one day to get some rice. He
went Immediately to the store and told the
clerk he wanted to get some rice. sHow
much ?" Inquired the clerk. "Oh, not
much" said the Professor" 81 reckon
three or four bushels will do for the pres
ent. The clerk was very sorry to say they
had not that much on hand, but that they
would soon have more. The clerk per-
suaded him TO try to make out for few
days with some Is or 20 pounds. Sarah and
the clerk were not the only ones who
laughed over the incident. He never called
for three or four bushels sfterward.
If the Professor and bis wife are still liv-
ING they must be well striken In yesrs, and
if they see this brief sketch of their early
lives, and find any errors in it, they will
pardon the writer.
