week from that time. Then Professor
Foster with his usual calmness, con.
scious OF having done his duty, with
drew TO report progress TO his friends.
Well, in due time the Professor went
TO the clerk Tor his license. The clerk
informed him that the law required a
bond aud security in the sum OF $3.50,
10 be void on condition that there was
no legal objections 10 the proposed
union Of the two persons named The
Professor very promptly replied, "Oh,
never mind the bond, Mr.. Clerk will
pay you $1,000 down, and will pay you
the balance in day or two" After
further explanation by the clerk, the
Professor soon complied with the law
aud obtained license.
At the appointed time the wedding
came off in the best style Of the city, and
the company enjoyed the occasion with
the greatest zest. The hours flew like
humming birds. AS the clock struck
twelve the Professor picked up his hat
and started for his boarding house. His
principal attendant, surmising his inten-
tention, followed to the front door, and
informed him that matrimonial etiquette
required him to stay and board and lodge
at the house of his father-in.law until he
and his wife wished to live by themselves;
that he would be furnished with a room
adjacent to Sarah's room, in order that,
il she happened to get thirsty, he might
be near to get her drink Of fresh water.
In the morning the bride and groom
were greeted with the smiles Of the fam
lily, together with those of some early
callers and inquiries we're made if they
had slept well. Both responded that
they had never slept sounder in their
lives, he adding, with his childlike SIM
plicity, that he was happy to say Sarah
did not call for water during the whole
night. That last remark was quite O
riddle to her, and she looked curious, but
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 it as such to the
company.
Finally the happy couple went to
housekeeping, and never were man and
wife more heartily congratulated or more
highly esteemed than they were. They
were the favorites of the city. Never
was wife more lovely or husband more
kind and devoted, but he didn't know
anything about providing 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.
" How much2' inquired the clerk. "Oh,
not much, said the Professor; reckon
three or four bushels will do for the
present" The clerk was very sorry to
say that they had not that much on
hand, but that they would soon have
more. The clerk persuaded him to try
to make out for a few days with some
fifteen or twenty pounds. Sarah and
the clerk were not the only ones who
laughed over the incident. He never
called for three or four bushels after
ward.
II the Professor and his wife are still
living they must be well stricken in
years. and if they see this brief sketch
of their early lives, and find any errors
in it, they will pardon the writer.

"Tnackeray and His People.

John Esten Cooke. in Hearth and Home.l
was talking one day with the late
Mr.. Thackery-a most excellent, genia
gentleman and companion--in reference
to authors and books, and more espe
cially about his own books, which he
spoke Of with frankness and unreserve,
as though they had been written by 9
third person. One or two things he
said which struck me forcibly at the time
and have remained in my memory,
affording me food for reflection. We
were speaking of the sketch. Mr.
Deauceace ard his Friends Il think thai
IS the title) in which appears the finish
ed rascal and serenely smiling scoundrel
the Earl Of Crabs.
''Where did you meet with the origi
nal of the Earl of Grabs, Mr. Thack
erayY was my query.
| never met any.
You drew him from your imagina'
tion2"
suppose so.
He is certainly the greatest scoun
drel in literature, | think, not excepting
Lord Steyne or any.
Mr.. Thackeray acquiesced in the
moral or immoral eminence attributed
to the earl, mused a moment, smiled in
good natured way, and said:
l really don't know where | got all
those rascals in my books. | certainly
have never lived with such people"
That is the first suggestive opera
ton. / shall defer my moral reflections
until repeat the second.
We came to talk of VANITY Fair p"
and the excellent Miss Becky Sharp, of
whom Mr.. Thackeray spoke with evident
self congratulation. She had made his
fortune" he said; and he added frankly
that he thought he had never done any
thing better than the description of the
manner in which Madam Becky Craw-
ley came down to the low life OF Bo-
hemia, after her epoch of social eleva-
tion as the friend of Lord Steyne.
There is one mystery about Becky
which has always puzzled me, l said.
"What is that2"
Nearly at the end of the book there
is a picture of old 10 Sedley-gouty,
night-capped, and seated in his easy
chair-while behind curtain stands the
ghastly, glaring Becky, grasping a dag
ger"
Yes"
Beneath this picture is the single
word CiyfenRdSfra.
Mr.. Thackeray nodded.
Did Becky kill him2 "
Mr.. Thackeray remained silent for a
moment" as the novelsts say; a slow
smile dawned upon his face; he. assumed
reticent and secretive expression Of
countenanee, and at length replied in
confidential voice:
i don't know"
