A STRANGER Those who are termed sim
pie minded people adopt q curiously innocent
mode Of expression occasionally, which comes
so near art, at times, rs to render its simpli-
city doubtful. .... ~
We hear Of . young married couple, from
the country, Of course, who recently attended
an exhibition Of Dissolving Views" The
bride being pretty, attracted the attention Of
stylish looking city gent, who happened to
occupy the same seat with the twain. During
the exhibition, the audience part of the hall
being already obscured, by some accident the
light was entirely extinguished. Pending its
recovery, which occupied some little time, the
city gentleman, perhaps accidentally, pressed
the hand Of the bride, who was too much
alarmed to efer any resistance. This bold
act was followed by bolder and certainly
not accidental one; for the city Lothsrio
absolutely kissed the bride, This was too
much, and the wife resolved to tell her hus-
band-when the following whispered colloquy
took place:
"John 90
"What?"
This feller's kissing me- .-
"Well, tell him to quit ..- ..
"fell him yourself"
No, John, don't like to you tell him
the gentleman's perfect stranger to me.n
Our informant did not know whether the
city gentleman ultimately received notice to
quit or not; but was under the impression
thatthe unlawful salutes were repeated several
times before the lamps were re lighted
