cle. as he always wa- wherever
km wii. he at once made known the .
object of hi- vi-it. by laving iu a 1
clear ami distinct voice: t
"Well, Mis- Sarah, my friends ]
have advised me to get marrie*!. z
recommend you and a number of
other ladies to me as suitable per- c
sons, and I have now called to see s
it you are willing tc> in aIT v NN." C
Had an earthquake > iolentiy shak- 1
en the premises, the household could t
not have been more astonished. Like j
a frightened roe. >arah -tarted to 1
run, vvi en her mother caught her. t
and said: ••"Why. child. <l* n't be 1
frightened: the Trofessor won't hurt f
you." I r
Being again seated, a dei j. blush a
succeeded the paleness which had j i
been caused by the startling an
nouncement, and siie rallied enough
to lie aMe to say to the Professor
that as his |>rojx>sitiou was entirely
unexpected. she must have some time
to consider the matter. This he
granted, but said:
"As I am anxious, in case of your
refusal, to see the other young ladies
to-day, 1 can wait only one hour for
your answer."
Knowing the worthiness, sincerity
and -hnplicity of the Prof —or, the
matr'mj t> <k li.-r blushing daughter

lather was left to entertain his pro

Ti.e clerk inf'l ined him tiiat the law
-
-uin of twelve hundred and liny dol
or-. to he v..id on condition that
here wa - no legal objection to the
proposed union of the two persons
tamed. The Professor very prompt
y replied: >h. never mind the Ikikl.
Mr. Clerk: 1 will pay eleven hundred
lobars down and will pay you the
dance in a day or two." After fat
her explanation by the clerk the
i'rofessor soon complied with the law .
ind obtained his license. .
At the appointed time the wedding ,
ame off in the best style of the city, ,
md the company enjoyed the occa
sion with the greatest zest. The j
lours flew like humming bird-. As .
he clock struck twelve the Professor .
•ieked up his hat and started to his j
'oarding-house. His prineip.nl at-
ei. lant, surmising his intention, fol- ,
owed him to the front door and in- .
oriued him that matrimonial eti- <
[Uette requiretl him to stay and board .
nd lodge at tlie bouse of his father- j
u-law until he and his wife wished
to live by themselves; that he would
be furnished with a room adjacent to
Sarah's room in order that, if she
happened to get thirsty, he might be
near to get her a drink of fresh wa
ter.
I lithe morning the bride and groom
were greeted with tiie smiles of the
family, together with those of some
early cs.llers, and inquiries were made
if they had -lept well. Both respond
ed that they had never -lept sounder
in their live-, he adding, with hi
cliildlike simplicity, that he was baji
py to say Sarah did not call for wa
ter during the whole night. That
!: -t remark was quite a riddle to her
and she looked curious but said no
thing, no one venturing to a.-k lain
to rise and explain. He did not
know it wa- a joke played upon him
until th attcn 'sat told it as such to
the company.
Finally the happy couple went to
.
and wife more heartily congratulated
or more highly esteemed than they
were. They were the favorite- in
the city. Never wa- wife more love
