A ROUGH BED.PELLOW.

There is good story going the rounds
OF the papers, told by man in Arkansas
who had been drinking till late hour a,
night, and then started for home IN a
state Of sweet obliviousness.
Upon reaching lis own premises, he
was too far gone 10 discover ANY door ia
the domici he was about to inhabit, and
therefore laid himself down in n shed
which was favorite rendezvous for the
hogs. 1
They happened to be out when the ne y
conner arrived, but soon returned TO their
bed
The weather being rather cold. they in
the utmost Kindness, and with the truest
hospitality, gave their biped companion
the middle Of the bed, some lying on eil,
ther side Of him, and others acting the
part OF quilt. Their warmth prevented
him fr'm being injured by exposure.
Towards morning he awokc. Finding
himself comfortable, in bissful ignorance
Of his whereabouts, he supposed himself
enjoying the accommodation OF tavern
in company with other gentlemen.

she passed up the steps; poor thing, she
was the wife of man, who loved TO look
upon the wine when red. But bis love
for his wife, and tler babe, whom thew
both idolizcd, kept him back, and it was
not often that he joined in Bachanalian
revelries.
The party passed off pleasantly, the
time for departing drew near, and the
