DREAMING OF WEDDING C AKE.
A bachelor editor nut West, who
Bind received from the fain-band of a
Ibride a piece of elegant wedding cake
to dream on, thus gives the result of
his experience.* *
We put in under the head of our
-ipillow, shut our sweetly as an
infant blessed with an-easy conscience,
ancf dboii. snored’ prodigiously. The
god of dreams gently touched uj. ‘and
10l in ftincy we were married ! Nev
er was a little ‘editor so happy. It
-was ‘my love/ ‘dearest, ’sweetest/
ringing in our ears every moment. Oh,
that the dream had broken off here !
But no ; some evil genius put it into
the head of our ducky to have a pud
ding for dinner, just to please her lord.
In a hungry dream we sat doWn to
dinner. Well, the pudding moment
arrived, and a huge k slice almost ob
scured from sight the plate before us.
•My dear, said we fondly, ‘did you
make this,?’
‘Yes love; aifft.it nic.e V * .
•Glorious; the best brexut pudding I
aver tasted in mv life.
‘Plum pudding, ducky/ snggested
*ny wife. •* . ’V ’
‘Oh. no dearest, bread pudding;!
el w ~ : —*
_ ion ll that bread pudding?’ exclaim
ed my wife, while her lips curled I
slightly witbeontempt.
‘Certainly, my dear; reckon I’ve
had enough at the Sherwood House
t know bread pudding, my love, by
all means/
‘Husband, this is really too bad ;
plum pudding is twice as hard to make
as bread pudding, and is more expen
sive, and a great deal bette. I say
this is plum pudding, sir/ and mv pret
ty wife’s pretty brown eye flashed
with excitement. * #
‘My love, my sweet, my dear, love/
exclaimdd we, soothingly, ‘do not get
angry ; I’m sure it’s very good, if it is
bread pudding.
‘You mean, low wretch/ fiercely
replied my wife, in a higher tone, ‘Vou
know it’s plum pudding/ ,
‘Then ma’am, it’s so meanly put to
gether, and so badly burned, that the
devil himself wouid’nt know it. I tell
madam, most distinctly and emphat
ically, and 1 will not be contradicted,
that it is bread pudding and the mean
est kind at that/
‘lt is plum pudding!’ shriek my
wife, and she hurled a glass, of claret
in my face, the glass itself tapping the
claret from my nose.
” ‘Bread pudding!’ gasped we, pluck
to fie last, and grasping a rotated chick*,
en by the left leg. * -
‘Plum pudding!’ rose .above the
din, and I had a distinct perception of
feeling two plates smash across my
head.
‘Bread pudding !’ we groaned in a
rage, as the chicken left our hand, and,
flying with swift wing across the table,
landed in madam’s bosom.
‘Plum pudding !’ resounded the war
cry from the enemy, as the gruvy dish
took us where we bgd been deposit
ing the first part of our dinner, and a
plate of beets landed upon our white
vest.
‘Bread pudding forever l’ shouted
we in defiance, .dodging the soup
tyreenaud falling beneath its contents.
‘Plum pudding!’ yelled our amiable
spouse, as noticing our misfortune, she
determined to keep us down by piling
Upon our head the dishes with no gentle
hand. Then in rapid succession fol
lowed the war cries. ‘Plum pudding!’
she shrieked with every dish
.‘Bread poddaing f smothered times
come up in reply. Then it was ‘plum
pudding,’ in rapid succession, the last
cry growing feeblest, till just, as 1 can
distinctly recollect, it had grown to a
whisper, ‘plum pudding’ resounded
like thunder, followed by a tremen
dous crash as my wife leaped upon the
pile with her delicate feet, and com
menced jumping up and down, when,;
thank Heaven we awoke, and thus I
saved our life. We shall neverdream
on wedding cake again; that’s the
moral.

the sound steamers, the other night,
the Captain, ns usual, was looking
around to see that everybody was
‘tucked in* and nil was right, jvhen,
going into the lower cabin he spied a
pair of countryish boots .on the .ex

that supported them.
The considerate Captain shook Mr.
Boots genlv, and intimated ,to him, in
the mildest t way, that it- was

wear their boots in bed.-- *
As soon as the awakened ownef
was able to comprehend the case, he
remarked very coolly:
‘Oh, it.yon’t hurt’em, 1 guess ; they

young men, ‘with a humming in their

room in a crowded inn; in which, as
they enter are jrevealed two the

instead of taking, as they supposed, a
bed apiece, get back-to-back into one,

come around at intervals in a manner
very circumambiant, but quite impos

Messrs. Fitzgerald fi&. BeuuUrs, writing
from Waynesville, N. C. says:—The Liver

All who have tried it speak in commendable
terms of it, and say it is very beneficial in
alleviating the complaints for which it is re
commended.”

S. R. Me Fall, assures.us that he uses it
with great benefit in bis own family, and

cough, who ivas relieved by the Liverwort
