An Unsociable RedfslIow.

a 1eW months since son OF Erin calico
about eight o'clock one evening, at coun-
try inn in the western part of Pennsylvania
and demanded lodgings for the night.
It was evident from his appearance an &C
tions that he and liquor had been jolly gooG
companions throughout the day. The land
lord was a lazy, good od-natured soul, and had
you light, and tell you where the room il
can you find the place." said the land lord
Och, and it's n1eself that can do that
most Elegantly. Just show me the way,
and Pll find it as aisy as the Holy Virgin
showers down blessings upon the SINFUL
rejoned the Irishman.
The directions were given him and also
a candle. He was directed to room on the
second floor of the house. By the time he
had reached the top of the stairs his light
had become extiDguished, and he had for
gotten in what direction be was to CO.
Seeing rays of light issue from u room, the
door OF which stood lightly ajar, he recon-
noitered the inside of the room, and found
it to contain a bed in which laid a man, and
stand with small lighted lamp upon it.
Feeling disclined to make any further
search for the room to which he had been
directed, he divested himself of his clothes
and quietly crept into bed.
He had been in bed but few minutes
when a young lady and gentleman entered
the room. The Irshman eyed them close
ly. They seated themselves on the chairs
in close proximity to each other, and after
chatting for a short time the young man
threw his arm around her waist in very
cousinly manner, and i'm printed kiss upon
her tempting lips. The scene amused th q
Irshman vastly, and, being free from sell
fishneSs, he concluded that his sleeping com
panion should be a participant in the enjoy
ment of the scene, aud nudged him without
causing him to stir. He put his hand upon
him, aud found that he was tightly locked
in the embracssof death. Simultan eous-
ly with this discovery, lie bounded out of
bed, exclaming:
"Murther, mur:herI Howly saints of Hiv-
en- protect mel"
He had scarcely touched the floor with his
feet before the young LADY and gentleman
were making rapid strides toward the stair
way, terror being depicted on their counte-
nances.
They had just reached the top of the stairs
when the Irishmau came dashing along as
though the fends of Erebus were close at
his heels, intent on making him their prey,
and the whole three went tumbliug down
the stairs, and it is hard to determine which
of the three reached the foot of the stairs
first.
The landlord stood aghast as the Irishman
rushed into the bar room, with nothing be-
tween him and nudity but garment vul-
CARLY called shirt, the hair on his head
standing upon end, his eyebalIs ready to
start from their sockets, and he gasping for
breath.
1t was sight that would have made any
man laugh who had worn a vinegar face
from the time of his birth. Nothing could
induce him to seek bed thatsnight again.
When the young lady and gentleman
found that it was not the corpse who had
so uuceremoniously bounded from the bed
they returned to the room (they being the
watchers for that night aud dou btless COM
m enced their courtiDg at the point where it
was so suddenly broken off.
