OBTAINING A ROOM WITH AN UNFoRTU'
NATE OMISSION.

Some days Stree very rustic ana IN
artistic couple, residents of Kentucky,
near the Tennessee line, concluded mar
riage TO be their destiny, and with this
idea came to the Western Athens, de-
sirous of sacrificing themselves to n.y.
men at the earliest opportunity.
In due time the pair arrived at Gin
cinnati, and repairing to the Spencer
House, informed the clerk, Adrew Blum,
that they were extremely intent on per-
petrating matrimony, and that nothing
could thwart their purpose. Mr.. Blum
so far from wishing to prevent their a.
miable immolation, made every effort to
facilitate their design, and so well did
he succeed, that in less than an Lour
James and 'Jemime' were welded as
firmly as lay in the capacity Of cler-
gyman to bind them. ,
The clerk, after the ceremony had
been performed, believing that all new
married people ought 20 be as well ac-
commo1ated as possible, gave them a
parlor and bed room on the third floor,
and bade them good evening about
ten o'clock, not neglectng to wish them
every possible bliss.
The twain meekly followed the SER
want to the rooms, and were left alone
there for the night, The clerk thinking
no more of them until about Q O'Clock
when, sitting doing in an easy chair
behind The counter in the office, he was
aroused by a voice saying; Look here,
Mr.. Clerk, oh, Mr.. Clerk, Id die
to speak to you jist mint DO
now
Mr.. Blum opened his eyes, and be-
held his rustic friend, hatless and coat
less, with flushed face and disheyeled
hair, and such generally disarranged
attire, as indicated that he had been un-
dergoing some very violent exercise.
