A HusBAND S0LD.-Some years
since when all the world was mad
upon lotteries, the cook Of mid
die aged American single gentle
man drew from his hands her earn
incs Of several years. Her en-
plover was anxious TO know the
cause, and she told him That hav-
ing repeatedly dreamed thata GER
tain number was a great prize,
she had bought the whole ticket.
He called her a fool for her pains,
and never lost a chance to tease
her on the subject. She seemed
TO take his taunts in good humor,
saving it would turn out right by
and-by. One morning be opened
his paper at breakfast, and saw 1t
announced that the very number
that Bridget had dreamed and
bought had drawn the great prize
Of a hundred thousand dollarsl
Bridget was summoned, and the
willy gentleman proceeded toin-
form her that he had long valued
her as a friend, and being desirous
to settle himself for life, he would
be wiling to make her his wife, if
she bad no objections. Bridget
had always thought him a dear
good man, and would be glad to
do anything TO please him. So
he finished his breakfast, told
Bridget to put on her best things,
the parson was sent for, and made
them one that very morning. AT
ter it was all over, the cautious
husband said 70 his bride, " Well,
Bridget, yop have made two good
hits to-day; you have got good
husband, and now bring me the
lottery ticket you and / have
laughed 90 much about, and Jet us
see what the number q Il is,Y
" Please, said Bridget sedcnt
laugh any more about that; !
knew there was nothing in them
dreams, and I sold it to the butch
er a month agoln

large black snake sprang about her neck
and began choking her. The affrighted girl
screamed AT the top of her voice for assist

exhausted thar she was unable to cry out,
the snake twisted its head around so that the
