A Young Man H.ss.d .s.,..s hi. WIN.

A most ludicrous scene transpired in place
not Thousand miles from Louisville, one night
not long since, which, though little annoying
to the parties Immediately concerned, was yet
SO innocent and funny that we cannot refrain
from giving the general outlines, suppressing
names, of course
Two sprightIy and beautiful young ladies
were visiting their cousin, another beautiful
young Lady, who, like her guests. was Of that
happy age which turns everything into fun and
merriment II the truth were told, we fear we
should have 10 record the fact that these three
misses were just little fast. They were fond
of practical jokes, and were continually aging
all sorts of pranks with each other. All three
occupied a room un the ground floor, cuddled up
together in one bed.
Tw" OF the young Ladies' attended party on
the night in question, and did not get home un-
til haf-past twelve o'clo, K at night AS it was
late they concluded not to disturb the house
hold, they quietly stepped into their room
through the low open window.
In about half all hour after they left for the
party, young Methodist minister called at the
house where they were staying and craved
nights lodging, which, of course, was cheerfuly
granted. AS ministers Hlways have the best of
everything, the old lady put him in the best
room to sleep, and the young lady Fanny who
had not gone TO the party, was entrusted with
the duty of sitting up for the absent ones, and
VI lHiOTm'Hb iutU Vi the CHduRe OF rOOmS one
took up her post in the parlor, and as the night
was sutry sleep overcame her, and she departed
on an excursion to the land OF dreams.
We will now return 10 the young ladies who
had gone into their room through the window.
By the dim light of the moonbeams they
struggled through the curtains the young ladies
were enabled 10 descry the outline OF Fannie las
they supposedly ensconed in the middle of the
bed They saw more. to wit: a pair of boots.
The nth flashed upon th"m ut once. They saw
it ALL Fannie had set the booIs in the room to
give them gond scare. They put their heads
together and determined to turn the tables
her. Silently tney disrobed.- and rs stealthy
cats they took their position on e'cn side of the
bed. At given sgnAl they bo jumped into
bed. each side of the unconscious par
son, laughing aud screaming " Oh what a man
Oh, what a man T. and they gave the poor be-
wildered minister such pr"miscnous huggin.
and tonsling as few p r>onS arc able to brag of
in the course of lifetime
The noise of this proceeding awokc the old
lady, who was sleeping in an adjoining room.
She comprrhended the situation in a moment,
and rushing to the room. she opened the door
and exclaimed Oh Lordy gals, it is man
it is a mau sure enough t.
There was one prolonged, consolidated
scream a fash of muslin through the door,
and all was over
The hest of the joke is that the minister took
the whole thing in earnest. He would listen to
no apologies the old lady could make for the
girls He would hear no excuse but solemnly
folded his clerical robes around him. and silently
stole away.
