EMBARRASSING, vERY.-The exclama.
ton of Dick Swiveller, when he discover
ed that the Marchioness" had disposed
of his clothes during his illness, and that
he was left even without an umbrella in
case of a fire, is familiar to our readers.
Not less awkward was the predicament in
which Mr.. Jones was placed. the morn

to Niagara, with his blooming BRIDE
That gentleman was exceedingly cautious,
and ever evinced the greatest dread both
of fires and robbers. Having stopped for
the night at one of the principal hotels in
Washington. he charged his wife, before
she retired. to "leavc nothing about and
carefully disposed of his own inexpres-
sibles. the pockets of which contained his
valuables, (including the door key, which
he had prudently withdrawn in his new
trunk with n patent lock. AS he intend
ed to take the early train at six o'clock,
he awoke betimes, but to his dismay dis
covered that he had neglected to remove
the keys from his pockets, and that they
were ,0ithin the trunk, which closed with
a spring, This was sufficiently provo

that Jones could summon resolution
to reveal the. cause of his tardi-

but the attendance of locksmith was ne
cessary, to procure the pair presentable
