MARRIED LAST NIGHT.

Mr.. Samuel Fisher, tho inventor OF
the golden snuff, was acquainted with
a widow Of excellent character. WHO re-
sided in Cork. This lady was inconsol-
able for tho death Of her husband; the
day WAS spent by her in sighs and in
ccssant lamentations, and her pillow ut
night was moistcned with the tears OF
her sorrow. Her husband, her dear
husband. WAS tho continual theme Of
her discourse. and sho seemed to live
for no other object but to recite his
praises and deplore his loss.
One morning her friend Fisher found
her in state Of mental agitation Dor
dering on distraction. Her departed
love. she said, had appeared to her
in the night, and most peremptorily
ordered her to enter the vault where
his rcmaius were deposited and have
the coffin opened.
Mr.. Fisher demonstrated with her on
the absprdity Of the idea. He said
that the intensity Of her sorrow had
impaired her intellect; that the phan-
tom was tho mere creature OF her imag-
ination. and begged Of her at least to
postpone to some future period her in-
tended visit to the corpse of her hus
band.
The lady acqricsced in for that time
his request; bat tho two succeeding
moruings the angry spirit Of her
spouse. she said, stood ut her bedside.
and with loud mepaces repeated his
command. Mr.. Fisher. therefore, sent
to the sexton. aud matters being ar
ranged, the weeping widow and her
friend attended In the dismal vault; the
coffin was opened with much solemnity,
and the faithful matron stopped down
and kissed tho cold. clay lips of her
adored husband. Having reluctantly
parted from tho beloved corpse. she
spent the remainder of the day in silent
anguish.
On the succeeding morning. Fisher
(who intended to sail for England that
day. called to bid his afflicted friend
alieu. The maid servant told him that
tho lady had not arisen.
