NIGHT SCENE IN A YOUNG LADy's Bed
CHAMBER

Last Tueoday night, which will be remem-
bered as one OF the warmest of the season, a
young lady of the "West End" was excessive
ly frightened at little circumstance which
transpred about the hour of midnight. The
young lady, whose beauty is only equalled by
her modesty, and whose 'eye's dark charm"
has caused more than one wastcoat to palpi-
tate, had retired to her chamber where, after
laying aside the greater portion of her wear
ing apparel she committed herself to the
tender embrace of Morpheus, whose soothing
influences we're aided BY the cooling breath
OF Zephyr, who came in a. the open window
and famed her cheek with his feathery wings.
In word, she was snoozingly inely-or, to
use the language Of modern bard
"Sleep on her velvet eyelids lightly pressed
And dreamy sights upheavcd her snowy breast,
While starbeams, hro' her window softly creeping,
Stole to her couch and trembling there stood peepug"
1t was as we said, about might when the
young lady was reused from her delicious
slumber by hearing noise at the window.
Half unclosng her eyes, she was startled by
the sight of corpulent form, apparently
struggling to gain admission to her chamber
through the open window. 1t struck her at
once that the intruder had been caught by
the rear of his unmentionables, by nail or
same other sharp instrument, as he seemed
to be struggling with stern determination
to enter. Her first thought was to faint
her second. to give the fellow push--her
third, to jump out of the window as soon as
he jumped n-ber fourth, to scream, which
was immediately carried into effect. The
whistle of the locomotive on the Iron Noun
tain road, when it gave it first snort on the
4th OF July, was but whisper to the screams
OF the young girl.-The whole house, and half
the nelghborhood, were awakened by the out
cry, The old folks. three female servants,
and two big brothers rushed to the rescue,
and broomsticks, mop-handles and bootiacks
flashed in the gasight as the household en-
tered the chamber of the frightened beauty.
An examination of the figure in the window
dispelled the fears of all. and changed the
screams OF the young lady into shouts of
laughter. The imaginary "fat man" was only
her own darling hooped skirt, which she had
hung on hook near the window, and which
the wind had inflated and set in notion
There was no more sleeping in the house that
night.-ISt. Louis Herald.
