evening, which we consider quite rich
and did we not know the gentleman who
made the blunder, we would most Ger.
tainly think somebody was--tight, may
be. The incident occurred at a private
boarding house in this city, about four
o'clock yesterday morning, and was re-
lated to us as having thus occurred:
A certain young gentleman, who boards
at certain private house-a respectable
house, too had occasion to remain away
from his bed until four o'clock in the
morning. This is not uncommon with
young gentlemen in our city this par
ticular ona, especially. Some time after
tea, on the evening Of that eventlul
morning, two beautiful, buxom young
ladies from the country, friends and ac-
quaintances of the landlady, arrived
Beds being rather scarce, and the young
gentleman not expected to be home that
night, without a word Of explanation or
warning, one Of the young ladies' was
placed in the young gents room. AS q
matter of course, after going though the
usual manipulations- clasps,

Young gent, not wishing to awaken the
inmates Of his boarding house, cautiously
approaches the door, and, after carefully
inserting his night key, is pleased to find

softly feels his way to his room, little
dreaming of what he would be compelled
to witness in few short minutes. We'll
leave the reader to imagine the result,
but, as the story is peculiar as we'll as a
funny one, we're ofthe opinion that wci

without matches, enters the room, closes
the door, and Immediately disrobes him.

his weary limbs and body upon the bed.

surprised to find his bed occupied, and,

inquiring as he did so: "Who in the

the part Of the young lady followed this
demonstration, and then very franticaly
