The Professor Marrying a Cook.
Some years since, when 1 was in col
lege, we had amongst our “faculty ’’ a
curious personage, whom every one re
garded with considerable, respect, and
yet as a character »ui generis- He lived
many years without a .wife* and expect
ed to live so always. Indeed as he was
the professor of mathematics, the ab
straction of his science forbade his in
dulging in the idea of getting married.
To the female sex, tnerefore,he showed
no other regard than common politeness
required. His character was purely
negative. Of course he was not popnlar
with the ladies, and they kept themselves
at a distance from him. But circumstan
ces that often bring about a match in
other cases, placed him in a pecqliai
dilemna. It seemed a whim that a ne
cessity was laid upon him to get mar
ried. He was one of the faculty of j the
College all the other professors were
married and obliged to entertain the dis
tinguished visitors ot the Institution.
He had always boarded. Of coursi it
wasn’t never expected of him thatj he
should ever give a party or dinner. But
it began to be regarded as rather mean
in him to shirk of this matter from ytear
to year, and, “well off as he was pechni
arily, to throw, upon the other members
of tho faculty the cost and trouble oflen
tertaining the special friends and patrons
ot the College. The question was, there
lore, frequently asked: [
“Why doesn’t the old miser entertain
some of the distinguished visitor that
visit us?’’ '
Now, our professor wasn't a raise? at
all and it often troubled him to think : he
was situated that he couldn’t bear his of
| part of the burden. And yet, what
could he do? Must he get married? And
iif bo i 10 whom? He had no special re.
i gard lor any one iu the vicinity of (the
college and no one has v any,.special j ie-'
gurd lor him. In his younger days; he
had seen at school a young lady in jthe
city of New Vork, in whom he had fell
a;pecniiar interest. But of her hehadh’t
heard lor years. Doubtless before this
time she was married, oj in her grave.
Pos.-dbly, however, she waß still living
. and waiting lor him! Glorious thought!
He was quite relieved at it, though,lib
deed, there might be no foundation lor
his relief Nevertheless, he could make
due inquiry. Nor could he long delhv,
for commencement day was at hahd’
only a few weeks off. It was his Utrn,
nr rather would be if he was married] to
give the great diuner to the distinguish
e l peisonages who would be presentfou
ilie occasion. There would be lin; Gov
ernor ot the State, and his lady— the
trustees of the Institution and thejr
friends, and others of equal repute. But
who should be master of ceremonies?
And who should grace the table! fie
could square rlie circle perhaps, but shell
“Circle as this. wh,t could he do with
it. If he were Only'married, what a
helpmeet would hiß wife be at such a
time. And yet, his wife must be a good
looking, intelligent, and accomplished
lady; otherwise the blank would bb a
blot. r
How there was a young lady in l
neighborhood that the pro feasor'thoni
might answer, He had seen her at
boarding house, and spoken to her or
or twice.
“But, she may Bay no,” and if t
did, “where in creation,” thought i

Governor mast have a dinner and
mttst have a wife. And hence- he 1

What then? Other men have- lit

have a clear conscience about the di
ner, and a cleaT conscience is the ms
thing after all I I will write s 'note

down and wrote a note to Mias A. “8l

Alas! for a man on the verge of mat
monyl In an hour or two, however, t
Professor cajled on the President a
said:
• “1 should like to be absent a
days?”
“Ah!” said the President, "just at
this time?”
“Ves, 9ir, I have my classes in reali
ness for the examination, and I wish to
go to New York.”
“Has any death occurred in the fan i
jy,” said the 'President."
“No, sir,” said the Professor, "bu I
have a little matter of business that e
quires my immediate attention, and I
thought it best to go.”
"You have my best wishes.” said the
President, 'and may you return safely:
and not alone. ’
The Professor almost smiled, lut
blushed rather than smiled, and left the
President, and hastened to New York
His first inquiry on his arrival the'a,
was for Miss Adeline G., the young la ly
whom he had seem some years belo e,
al school, as we have mentioned.
"Why,” said the respondent,- “the
family has been reduced, and she is a
cook. Perhaps yondon’t know it, sir?”
“A cook!” said he, “that is Inst wl at
I want!” . i. . . '
"Oh!” said the lady, “we thought y jn
wanted something else possibly.”
"No, I have been half- ' starved to'
death since I left New York, and I wifnt
some one to cook-decently."
"Well, she can do that, for Bhe scan :e
-ly has her equal in that line in this ci y.
Why, sir, she is a cook, par ezceltin c,. ’ 1
"And how does she look?”
“She is the handsomest cook in the
city, too.”
"Not quite that, I presume,” said the
Professor, “but is she intelligent?--I
speak confidentially.”
"Intelligent! She is, indeed—she can
converse like an angel."
"And as to manners. Is she accom
plished?" !
“As graceful as an actreßS.”
"When can I see her?"
"At eight o'clock this evening."
Couldn't I see her before that horn?”
"I think that would be the most con
venientrtime for her tq call,' and to i ee
?!f' u -. She will be engaged in her dut es
till then.”
“I will wait then. Please to fell 1 er.
that Professor Mack, of Virginia, wi h
es to Bee her— an ' old acquaintance of
hera.”
"Shall.l tell her that yon wish to ei
gage a. cook?”
"Yon may tell her that I wish to iee
her,"said the Professor.. ...
" What name did yon say?” - :'r.

please, madam.'! < j ~
