Dreaming on Wedding- Coke,
A‘bachelor editor out West, who had receiv
ed from (he fair hand of a 'bride a piece of ele
gant wedding cake to dream on, thus gives the
result of hie experience:
Wo put It under the head of our pillow, shut
ourcyca sweetly os an infant blessed with an
cnsyiconscientjq, pnd Soon snored prodigiously.
The. god of dreams gently touched us, and lo !
in fancy wo were married ! Never wos a Utile
editor so 1 hhppyl It : \tos‘my love,’ ‘dearest,’
'sweetest,'ringirig iil'ourea’rs every moment.
Oh,.that, the dream had broken off here I Rut
no ; sbhic.evij genius put itdntotho head of our
ducky to piiflding for' dinner just to
please her’tord.
In A huttgry dream wo Sat down ‘lo dinner.
Well, the puling moment arrived, and a huge
slicp almost obscured from sight the plalo be
fore us.
1 'My dear,’ said we, fondly, ‘did you make
.this;!’
‘Yes, lovp, ain’t it nice V
‘Glorious; the beat bread pudding I over
tiUicd in'my life.’
‘Plohi pudding, dnekv.’ suggested my wife.
..‘Oh, 00, dearest, broad pudding ; I always
was fond of ’em.” , - , /
‘Call that bread pudding ?’• exclaimed my
wife, whifdlier lina curled slightly with cum
■tcifipt; 1 •
'Certainly,!nty dear: ■rcclcon t’velmd enough
Sherwood llqijsc Ip know, bread pudding,
my love, by all .means.’
‘nilsunml, this is really 100 bad : plum pud
ding ik twioo as hard to make ns bread pud
ding, and-is more expensive, and a great deni
better. I say this is plum pudding sir:’ add
njy pretty wife’s brow Hashed with excite
ment,
•bfyiovc. my sweet, my dear love, ’ exclaim
ed tvc, Soothingly, ‘do not gel angry. I’m sun.
It’p very good, if it is bread pudding.’
'You .mean! Ipw wretch,’ fiercely rejoined my
wife, in a higher lone, ‘you know iu a plum
pudding.
‘Thep ma'am it's so mronlyput together,and
,so badly, burned, that the devil himself would
not know it. 1 tel) yon, most distinct
ly arid bmphatically, hud 1 will not be contra
dicted, that is bread pudding, and the meanest
kind .at that.’,
‘lt ts plum pudding !’ shrieked my will*, and
she hh'fleu a glass of claret in my face, the gloss
itself’tapping the claret from my nose.
‘Bread pudding!'gasped'we. pluck to the
last, and. grasping a roasted chicken by tholefl
leg?.
‘Plgm pudding!’ rose above the din. and I
bhdhdislinct perception of feeling two plates
smash-across thy Head.

till just, as I con distinctly recollect, it had
grown to a whisper, ‘plum pudding” resound
ed like thunder, followed by’a tremendous
crash, as my wife leaped upon the pile with
her delicate feet, and commenced jumping'up

thus saved our life. We shall never dream .on
