The bride » j observed that he wa* breaking the shell at « j what she thought the wrong end. "flow p i strange it looka," said she, "to eee yon p break voor egg at the small end, iny deer!

He accordingly proceeded lo thu kitchen ; ' but wh*i_waa hit hprror, on softly opening I the door, to perceive the cook seated by { tiie fire, and in just such a dress as bis aleepi ing vision bad portrayed. He demanded , somewhat sternly what could he her busij uest there at such an boor. Tbe woman appeared agitated at this discovery, trembled. and faltered ; bat, on bar mailer renewing tha quaation io ao authoritative ; tone, she acknowledged that she and the gardener had bean long attached and that he bad promised to meet her at that early ' shoor, in order lo accompany her to a village some miles distant lo be married. The circumstances were ao odd, more especially cowqecled with th* dream, that tbe gentleman felt convinced all could not be right ; and having first locked *hw cook lefvly np in Ihe kitchen, be proceedrd tp a little de1 : tachrd building in which the garJeoerilepl; : bnt net finding bim there he went into th* 1 ! garden, where he focod him digging a pit.
