90 Some days since a young couple. who hat
newly dawned hymenial vestments, came from
their home, pleasant village in this State, tc
spend portion ofthat supposed be delicious
period known as the honeymoon, and placed
them under the charge of the propretors of the
Spencer House. They then sailed forth to
witness the beauties and peculiarties of the
Queen City, and do, as brides are ever wont, a
quantity of the little business embraced in the
term shopping" They were gone several
hours, and did not return to the hotel until sun
down, quite fatigued with their eXertions. The
bride, Mrs. r., then found that she had forgot
ten some articles indispensable to her toilet, and
unwilling TO disturb her husband, who, she
knew must be weary, slipped out while he was
down stairs, and went up to Fourth street to
get the diminutive bundle. She was successful
in her search for the store and the article but
on her way back, mistook, from her ignorance
oft city, Main street for Broadway, and the
Madison for the Spencer House, which are sit
datcd nearly opposite to each other.
Mrs Il. went into the hotel, AMI thinking it
looked rather different from the other, asked one
of the walters she met in the hall, in rather a
low AMI inlistinct tone, if that was the "Spen-
GER" to which he, failing to understand her. re-
piled in the Affirmative. She then ordered HIM
to bring her the key to No. 48, which he did,
and she entered it, and removed her bonnet
shawl and other portions of her attire and crept
between the sheets of the bed to enjoy little
nap after her long walk, never dreaming she
was in the wrong house, for the reason that the
apartment happened to have the same position,
and be furnished very much like her room at the
Spencer"
Instead oftaking "lttle nap" she fell into
profound sleep, that continued hour after hour
until eleven o'clock, at which time she was dis
turbcd by a most unexpected incident.
The rightlul occupant Of No. 48, merchant
from town in Indianian, who had been to the
theatre and become little intoxicated, went
to the Madison, and wishing no one to see his
condition, walked up to the room without
light, and fortunately, or unfortunately, found
the door unlocked. He entered quietly, and as
total darkness reigned there, he removed his
garments and crcpt into the spacious double bed,
not disturbing in the least the fair bride who
lay near the wall.
How .ong the two reposcd there side by SIDE,
with only foot ofspace between them, all un-
conscious Of each others presence, is not exact
Iy known, but probably a out an hour, when
tremendous noise was heard in the apartment,
from which female scream issued wildly
piercingly and ceasingly.
The hotel was in an uproar; proprietors
clerks, walters, Portcrs and guests dressed and
half dressed, were at the door Of "orty. eight
in few minutes, blocking up the entrance and
asking each other eagerly, What is the mat
teri" "For Gods sake tell US what is the trou-
BILE"
The cause of this outcry may be imagined-I
The bride had awakened about midnight, and
putting her hand over for her husband, it fell
upon the Indians face and the soft warm touch
aroused him at once He did not understand
it exactly, though he did not dislike it, and in a
moment more, Mr.. r. said; "My dearest hus-
band where have you been all this while?'
Husband" echoed the merchant, beginning
to sec like Lord Tnsel. that he had made
small mistake herc;'' II am nobody's husband.
/ reckon, my dear madam; you're in the wrong
bed"
In the wrong bed--horror of horrors thought
the bride. What would her liege lord-what
would the curious world say? And Mrs.
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 the apart
he'd make oath to that.
Scream, scream, scream was the only reply to
this kindly proposition.
MY God, madam, don't yell so! you'll wake
the house. Be reasonable; swear it's only
mistake. Have some thought Of the consequent
ces. don't want to hurt you, swear don't
You'll get me shot and yourself-well, won't
say what.
ian expecting every moment to see a pistol
thrust into his face by jealous husband, turn
ed pale as death, which he expected, and re-
signed himsellto his fate.
| Just at this juncture, the throng outside pre-
scented itself at the door, and beheld Mrs r.
covering in one corner, exercising her lungs
magnilcently, with sheet wrapped over her
\ form and head, and the Indianian in the mid
die of the room enveloped in a covcrlet, and c.
acuating: "My God, madam, don't !'
The junior proprietor, DR.. Cahill, saw there
must be some mistake, and requesting the 9TH
rs to retire, called the merchant out, went with
lin into another room, and there learned the
whole story The Doctor then sent one OF the
aides to the hotel to Mrs. r., and the entire al-
rir was explained, greatly to her relief
hough she was overwhelmed with confusion at
circumstance that might have ruined her rep
ltation for ever.
Under the escort Of the Doctor, she was con-
yeyed to the "Spencer," where the husband was
.ound pacing the corridors with frantic meni
and half crazed with griefat the mysterious dis
appearance ofhis wife, whom he believed had
been spirited away by villain, or murdered for
her Jewels in this internal city," where, as he
expressed it, "thcy would kill man for dol
lar any time"
As soon as he behold his spouse hc caught
her to his bosom and wept like child. He
was melted with happiness at her discovery and
