asked a boy if she was in the
Spencer--boy said YES, not fully
understanding her-she told him
to lead her to 4S-she partly dis
robbed and got into bed-expected
her husband momentmrny-fell
asleep-the occupant of rs Mad
ison, and Indiana merchant, re-
TUNED from the Theatre "a little
tight-quietly went to room-to
bed--to sleep. The account pro
ceeds:
How long the two reposed there
side by side, with only a foot of
space between them all unconcious
OF each others present, is not ex
actly known, but probably about
an hour, when q tremendous noise
was heard i'll the apartment, from
which female screams issued Wild
", piercingly and cea eSsly.
The hotel was i'll an uproar;
proprietor, clerks walters, porters
and guests dressed and half dressed
were at the door of forty eight
in few minutes, blocking up the
entrance, and asking each other
eagerly, what is the matter?' for

ting her hand over her husband, |
it fell upon the Indianian's face,
and the soft, warm touch aroused
him at once. He did not under
stand it exactly, though he did not
dislike it, and in a moment more,
Mrs r said: Ny dearest husband,
where have you been all this while

that he had made small mistake

the wrong bed
In the wrong bed-horror of
horrors thought the bride. What
would her liege lord say-what
would the curious world say! And
Mrs r screamed terribly and
sprang from the couch just as her
companion did the same. He was
fully as much alarmed as she, and
entreated her to give him time and
he would leave apartment, altho'
it was the one he had engaged
he'd make ali oath to that.
Scream, scream, scream was the
only reply 20 this kindly PROPOSE
ton.

Just at this juncture the throng
outside presented itself at the
door, beheld Mrs Il covering in
one corner, exercising he lungs

with him into another room; and
there learned the whole story
The Doctor then sent one of the
ladies of the hotel to Mrs Il and
the whole affair was explained,
greatly to her relief, though she
was overwhelmed with confusion
