NICUT :CENE IN A YOUNG LADY'S .BEDCHAMBER,—
j,a4, Tile-day night, which bill be remern bered as one of
the warmest of the season, a young lady at the "West
end" was excessivtOt frightened 34 a 11:ttbe circumstance
which transpired about the hour •oi! midnight. The
young lady, woose beauty is only equ ailed by her mo•
desty, and Whose " eye's dark charm "'has caused more
than one waistcoat to palpitate, had n Aired to her cham-
ber, when, alter laying aside the grew ter portion of her
wearindapparel, she committed her sell to the tender
embraces of Morpheus, whose soothing influences were
aided by the cooling breath of Zephyr, who came in at
the open window and fanned her cheehrs with his fea-
thery wings. In a woe', she era; sued )zing finely. It
was about mill.ight, when the young : lady was roused
from her delicious slumber by hearing, a noise at the
window. Had unclosing her eyes she was startled by
the eight of a corpulent form, apparec tly struggling to
gain admi4sion to her chamber thvoug h the open win-
do w. Ir, struck her at (-nett that the 'me truder had been
caught by the rear of his unme:otion abler by a nail or
some other:sharp instrument, as he :seamed to be strug-
