Too MANY I'm a Bed.

Emigration to the State OF Michigan was
so great during the year lS35-36, that every
house was filled every night with travellers
wanting lodging. Every traveller there at
that time will remember the difficulty of
obtaining a. bed in the hotels even If he
had two or three 'strange bedfellows."
The Rev. Hosea Brown, an eccentric
Methodist minister, stopped one night at
one of the hotels in Ann ArbOr, and in
quired if he could have room and bed to
himself. The bar-keeper told him he could
unless they should become so full as to
render it necessary to put another In with
him. I'D. u
SSsAt an early hour the reverend gentle
man went to his room, locked the door, re-
tired to his bed, and sunk into a comfort
able sleep. Along toward midnight he
was reused from his slumber by loud
knocking at the door. r.b
"Hallol you there" he exclaimed, "what
do you want now ?"-particular stress on
the last word.
"You must take another lodger, sir, in
with you," said the voice of the landlord.
"What, another yeti"
"Why, yes, there's only one in here isn't
there?" ...'
lone! why, here is Mr.. Brown, and the
Methodist preacher, and myself, already,
and think that enough for one bed, even
in Michigan"
The landlord seemed to think so, too, and
left the trio 20 their repose.
