In THE WRONG BoX-An unmarried Ia
dy, perfect specimen Of an old maid, be-
ing on visit to friend who lived i'm a
large manufacturing town, went one Sum-
day to church alone, and was shown into a
large square pew. in which half dozen fe,
males were seated. The prayers were draw
ing to conclusion, when the officiating
minister devated from the afternoon SER
vice into another with which she was unac-
9uainted. This was novelty to Miss p,
who was in the habit of attending public
worship at fashionable. chapel in London.
When this interpolated service began her
CO. pcwers stood up; she, as matter of
course, followed their example, and, on do
ing SO was surprised to see all the congre-
CATION except themselves either sitting or
knecling Her companions presently knelt
down. She again followed their lead, and,
by paying great attention to the succeeding
prayer, she discovered that it was a thanks
giving for safe delivcrence from the great
pain and peril of child birth. The usual af.
ternoon service being over, she rose from
her knees with crimsoned cheeks and in an
agitated state of mind, which were not les
sened by the clerk coming into the pew, /,
and asking her, shave you you child to
he christened, Ma am ~ Pushing him aside
she rushed out Of the churching pew, into
which she had inadvertently been put, and
made the best of her way out Of the church.
On entering her friends drawing room she
looked so excited and alarmed that Mrs. NJ.
exclaimed, My dear Charlotte, what has
happened to yous' have you been robbed
II assaulted? "Worsc, worse--much
WORSE" hysterically sobbcd the old maid,
