A curious affair lately took place on
board a steamer on one OF our western NV
crs. A gentleman who was totally mac-
quainted with the customs Of those vessels,
neglected 10 look out for a bed until all the
berths were doubly occupied. Feeling very
sleepy, and resolved to make a desperate
effort to secure a bed, he went into the Ia
dies cabin and entered one Of the berths
which happened TO be occupied at the time
by lady in the act Of undressing. "Prayi
madame, . said he, " be so good as to make
way for me-"
GOOD God - exclaimed the terrified
female, "you cannot come here, GO to the
geatlemen's behbs."
"Ihave madame, !" said he, and find they
are all full"
" For heavens sake," said she, " dc
leave, it is impossible 10 admit you here
you sec / am undressed."
Well, Madame" said he, scorn tC
take any advantage of you, | will therefore
undress too"
This was too much for her delicate nerves
and she uttered a shrill scream and rushet
into the cabin. This brought the Captain
clerk, and crowd Of passengers, many o
whom were in nocturnal dishabille, rushin,
into the ladies' cabin TO ascertain what wa
the row. Our friend, however, ayailing him

There is very funny German custom
concerning the coughing and nose-blowing
during the service-iime at church. Tie
clergyman stops at different periods of his
discourse, steps back from the pulpit, and
stands and blows his nose. The entire con.

the services at no other time.
