HOW HE CARRIED THE SOUP.
Tompkins is n small man. Without vi
olation the nicest shade of truth, (might
describe him ai a very small man. He
stands scarcely five feet in height, and is
proportionately diminutive in circumstance
But. mentally, what a difference ! He is
one of the most self.complacent men to ex•
istence. He conceives himself, intellectu
ally, a giant. He throws his little form
into all possible poses of dignity, in or der
to give shape and consistence to his own
consciousness of personal importance. He
knits his brows, and looks as truculent ns
Hercules, in order to convey to others a
full conception of his individual conse
que'nce.
Tompliins, of course, married a very
large, woman. NI rs. 'l'. is at least a foot
taller than her august husband.
She is rotund, jolly, plump, adipose, and
the very picture of good humor. Her face
is always robed in a smile; and rottvith
standing her size, she is exceedingly timid
modest, Felf-sacrificing, unobtrusive She
cower i beneath the awful glance of her ti
ny spouse. Her merriest laiigh shrivels
up to a whimper beneath his dignified
frown,
Tompkins ie jealous of his wife ; not
that he has any substantial reason, for she
is the most correct little—l mean big—wo
men in the world. But his selfish nature,
and his tremendous estimation of himself;
teach hi, blood to boil at the bare idea of
any other human being daring to revel in
a smile that he conceives to be his own
private property. Mrs. 'compktns, to do
her justice, seldom does smile when her
