but finally he drove bargain.
In the early days Of New England
almost everybody of dignity performed
the marriage except the parson, and the
whole company Of guests used to invade
the bridal chamber and make long pray
ers there. Young fellows who were not
invited to the wedding had the pleasing
custom of stealing the bride after the
marriage ceremony, carrying her off
and releasing her only when the bride
groom bought supper for them.
They had good things to eat, though,
if two people did have to eat off the
same plate. For instance, one New
England way to cook cells was to stuff
them with nutmeg and cloves, stick
them with cloves, cook in Wine, place
on chatting dish and garnish with lem
ons. Indian pudding, hominy, suppawn,
pone, samp and suceotash they learned
how to cook from the Indians. Pump

Did you ever hear Of man waking
up in the morning by instruments?
Among the numerous bodily ills that
upset humanity this appears to be the
peculiar afiliction of Fred Bennett, the
cigar clerk at the Falmouth, says the
Portland Express. BY singular move
ment of the red corpuscles in the ar
teries. his legs sometimes wake up be-
fore the rest Of his body and then
again the head and chest will wake up
before his legs get ready for action.
and even his attenuated aims may be
cutting circles over the coverlet while
the rest Of the anatomy is dormant. AS
4 result of this affliction Fred is now
oremenading around the hotel on
clutches. 1t appears that WEDNESDAY.
morning he was awakened by one OF
the bell boys with considerable haste,
and he plunged out of bed. but his
right foot was asleep, and his left LEG
up as far as the knee, was still taking
nap, rendering it rather supple and,
fer a few moments, beyond control OF
the voluntary muscles. The leg bent
like a piece of dough, causing a sewers
spfain of the ankle. but the injury is ue-
ing well cared for and Fred hopes to
be on earth again in about a week.
