A Mystery of the Honeymoon.
ITinsleY's MagaZne.l

The courtship, the engagement, the
ceremony are over. The bridegroom
hands his bride into the carriage, and the
honeymoon begins. Now observe one OF
the most singular facts in the whole his
tory of courtship, a fact to which there
is no known exception: The bridegroom
never can recall the first words spoken
by him to the bride in that carriage
Why? This question has been asked a
hundred thousand times, and never sat.
isfactorily answered yet Some attrib
ute the forgetfulness to joy; some to con
fusion; some fancy the words are OF such
an extremely romantic nature, the man
finds it more consistent with his dignity
not to recall them.
The answer is none Of these. 1t il
much more prosaic and practical. The
secret of forgetfulness is that he has al
ready said to her everything he coulc
think was of interest to her, every thing
that does interest him. His converse
tional resources are exhausted and hi
has nothing to say. Instead of an i'm
portant speech, he utters some dreamy
commonplace, throws himself back il
the cushions, devoutly thanking Heavel
"the thing is over" Thus, before tn
honeymoon is FIVE minutes old the bride
groom breaks down. -.

usual at most boroughs in the unre'
formed Parliament to give gratuities te
