dear jacobs fsstidi1Is sHste- all ssnd
his precious remains 10 you, der Mehei-
abel Please let everything .PpropF 4t-
be done TO express the tender appTecia-
/ ton of devoted wife, vet with proper
regard for economy. Dear Jacob was q
prudent man, and discouraged useless ex-
penditure. And dear Mchetabel, try to
fill, as far as possible my place beside his
cherished but insensate form. Now
venture to remark-or at least it strikes
me, that this is a very astonishing letter,
but was more astonished when Mrs.
LGrundy informed me that it was my duty
to proyide large cross Of expensive
flowers for the sad occasion. "But,"
said, "Angeline wished it all to be done
at her expense" Mrs. Grundy surveyed
me as if had been a cockroach or some
other unsatisfactory creature, and in
! quired, "Would you allow our dear cousin
to be carried from our house, without Of
feIipg some appropriate manifestation of
our bereavement"
1T seems to me" replied, livery incon-
sistent to scatter lilies and violets, and
expensive camelias upon the body of a
great ugly man, just as if he were a lovely
infant, or tender maiden"
"He is my cousin, twas all the reply that
remarkable woman vouchsafed; but l
think in coniugal dissertations generally,
that brevity is much more desirable than
the most brilliant loquacity. But paid
fifty dollars for the aforesaid "appropri-
ate manifestation of our bereavement"
And once when told Mrs. Grundy that
did not feel as if could afford to die,
that it was getting to be such an expen-
sive luxury, she said, 20 my dear Mr..
Grundy, give yourself no uneasiness on
that account; only have your life insured
freely and liberlly, and when the
Heavenly mandate is issued for your de-
parture from this world, I will see that
you are disposed of in an appropriate
manner, and without any foolish display
or extravaganza. Let your mind be at
rest entirely" Mrs. 'Grundy always
speaks to the point, and the point is apt
to be a pretty sharp one.
Scarcely a week after the funeral
there came letter from another of Mrs.
Grundy's cousins, asking her to allow
TOUR darling Julia" to be married at her
''elcgant mansion"-the ''dsar child ap-
preciated so highly the refined and esthet-
ic adornments of life," so, tour darling
Julia" was married at our ''elegant man
sion," and Mrs. Grundy presented her
with a solid silver tea-service, to DO
carried into story and half tenement.
That dear child's aesthetic tendencies cost
Mrs. Grundy (through the agency of my
purse,) just a thousand dollars. ut is
Fortunate" ventured TO suggest, 'sthat I
Il mean that you, Mrs. Grundy. have
no daughters to marry off-and if you
should decide, after my deceasc, to un-
dertake the Management of another hus.
band, what tax the wedding expenses
will be upon you"
"Really, Mr.. Grundy," she replied, ~
suppose that you will not have the dis
gushing and idiotic selfshne.s to leave
your property to any Biblical societies, or
insane ssylums."
