Already had the wedding pants of Nqwby j Jbeen drawn onand laced around her exquisitely moulded waist. And as Newby began to realize :u the fact" deiiionstrating'ifself before, him, she had one foot raised arid half way into a boot sdown it wentand the leg of the pantaloons fell (toUhe instep over it ; the same, movement with the other foot and the. bride was booted. , She now struts to the mirror, dandy fashion, and looking cbmplacently in, picks tip ci-avat .and adjusts it 'a la Byron?. .

Why let me givc:you a new adage, ''like wife like hus band" and he w ill soon become the fondest crea tdre.of the upper keys, the notes "in the higher ledgers. you have ever seen. Leave all that to me!'" j And thus the sisters ran on for some conside rablc, time,' until 'their toilettes completed, and awaiting in breathless ariiiety they were summon ed to "meet bride-groom and parson in the hall. We pass over the happy wedding party, and find our bridesfolk in a neat chamber in another part 1 -of the house. . 'Tis the first morning after the marriage ! A high post bed-stead, with 11s heavy 'curtains conceals from the view of the intruder, a happy couple. Within the-secrecy of those curtains are pillowed two heads, dreaming doubtless of-the bliss tb which they will awake Their slumbers are as calm as the. sighing reveries of fairies. So pure, so innocent,so unaffectedly 'wajce' are the pleasure and joysof the married world.thatthey are not oven jolted into uneasy restlessness by the severe trot ting of a night-mare.

But there was the reflection in Kate's behalf, that she had, as she thought been dealing with Arnanda, her maid. Apologising fdr her within himself, he proceeded rriore cautiously'.-to get her aroused. After several industrious attempts he; succeeded, j and proceeded upon his "first mot?iingJs" mis sion, which was'toTiTifod to her his little" ez-n pediertti ' ; - Kate, my I Charmer' -says he 'get tip arid put on those pantaloons, hanging there upori tlje; chair, or forever herealter yield td niy mild sway. J Kate gaVe him a real cat-look, showed her bead- j tiful teeth maliciously, raised herself, gave a bound. over the amazed bridegroom, arid parting the c'ur-j tains, lit in the middle of the floor. ' The curtains: closed and left Newby! alone to the solitude of his : wondering and wandering reflections. Never; sight or wonder of Barnum's opened the eyes of a man, as this inaneuvre did those of my illustrious! uncle. . ' 1 j j He rubbed his eyes, to see if he had been sute ly awake. He parted the curtains of a window which opened on one side of the bed and looked out, and beheld the sun just peering above thej eastern hills.
