Didn’t Want a Beauty.

“So you are going to get married at last, Snigger ?” remarked Brown. “Yes, I have at last concluded to do so. I have found a good woman—not pretty, but intelligent—and I propose turning Benedict.” ■' - ’ " pretty! Why 1 thought such an admirer of female beauty as you are would have selected a handsome woman How is that ?” Well, I remembered the old adage; ‘a thing of beauty is jawey forever,’ so I thought I had better take my chances with a homely wife.”— Texas Siftings.
