Silly Squire Meadow Ife little thought what an in- flummable thing a young ma i he forgot, in fact, that he his young once, In due course of time the turned to his native land.

Ve all sorts of rural games that are she s a happy release.” observed all the mule population of Dennyville, when they heard the news of Mr Jeadows’ decease. They meant—though they did not say as much—a happy release for the squire, and some of them even envied him the loss he had gained, Now Mrs. Meadows had been one of the voriest viragos and shrews with which any poor man had ever been cursed. Ter husband had long since ceased to consider his soul his own, but without @rumi submitted to all her capri¢e and ill-temp: When they were first married they quar- relled terribly, but the wife always con- trived to have the last word. On one oceasion, Ma. Meadows made a desperate effort to come off victorious, and” actually told his spouse that if’ she uttered another “crooked word.” sho should repent it, Well, then,” screamed the inveterate vixen, ‘* ram's horns, you dog, if I die for it]! That was the last effort at being master in his own house which was ever made by Squire Meadows, Always after which he submitted tamely to her will inall matters, and was a mere eypher in his own domes- tie circle. ® The day of the funeral eame—the day alter death; but people did not wonder inuch at the squire’s evident desire to ge: his Inte spouse out of sight as soon as possible. Some old folks, indeed, grum- bled, because they said as Mrs, Meadows had died suddenly while in a paroxysm of rage, she ought to be kept longer to make sure that she was dead, But atthe time appointed ‘the cefin was put into the hearse, and avngiynoved the funeral pro- cession. When the cofin was taken from the vehicle and placed upon the shoulders of some men to be curried into the burying- ground, the procession moved slowly to- wardsthe grave, Just before they reached it, one of the bearers stumbled over the stump of an old treo, and fell. The coffin in consequence was thrown violently to the ground and burst open. What was the forrer and astonishment of the lookers on to observe the supposed corpse to open and Mrs, Meadows herself to sit up, ap- sements afforded, much business acted, To the fair, Squire Meadows, now a gray-haired man, determined to take his son; andl many were the curions glances village green. ‘This spot was covered ith booths, in which gingerbread, toys, ribbons and finery, and ecatables of all sorts were offered tor sale.
