A most iudierous scene transpired in
place not 4 thousand niles fssm the city Of
Louisville, one night last week, which.
tnoagh htsls annoying to the parties i'm
alateiy concerned, was yet 50 innocent and
ianny That We eonnotrefrzin from giving the
general outlines.supPressing nameaof course.
Two spnghtly and beautiful young ladies'
were visiting their cousin, another sprightly
and beautiful young lady, who, like her
guest was Of that happy age which turns
everything into fun and merriuent. II the
truth were told, We fear We should have to
record the fact that these three misses were
just little bit fast. They were fond Of
practical jokes, and were continually play
ing al sorts of pranks with each other. An
three occupied q room on the ground hoor,
and euddled up together in one bed.
Two Of the young ladies attended party
on the night in question: and did not get
home until half past twelve o'clock at night
Az il was late they concluded not to disturb
the household, 50 they quietly stepped into
their room through the low open window.
In about half an hour after they bad left
for the party, young Methodist minister
called at the house where they were staying
and crayed q nights lodging, which, Of
course, was chesrfully granted. As minis-
ters always have the best Of everything, the
old lady put him to slesp in the best room,
and the yonng lady (Fanniel who had not
gone to the party, was entrusted with the
duty Of sitting up for the absent ones, and
Of informing them Of the change Of rooms.
She took up her post in the parlor, and a.
the night was sultry, sleep over came her,
and she departed on an excursion to the land
Of dreams.
We viii now return TO the young ladies
who had gone into their rooms through the
window. By the dim light Of the noon
beams as they struggled through the cur
tains, the young ladies were enabled 80 des-
cry the outline Of Fannie (as they suppos-
ed) ensconced in the middle Of the bed
They saw more o-wit.: pairof boots. The
truth flashed upon them at once. They saw
it all. Fannie had set the boots in the room
to give them good scare. They put their
heads together and determined to turn the
tables on her. Silently they disrobed, and
Is stealfhJ a. eats they took their position on
each side Of the bed. At q given signal they
both jumped into bed, one on each side Of
the unconscious parson, laughing and scream
ing, "Oh, what a mani Oh, what q mani"
they gave the poor bewildered minister such
q promiscuous hugging and tousling az few
persons are able to brag Of in The course Of
alifetime.
The noise Of this proceeding awoke the
old lady, who was sleepiDg in an adjoining
roam. She couPrehendsdthe situation IN
moment, and rushing to the room, she
opened the door and exclsims: ''My God,
gals it is a man; it is a man sure enough"
There was one prolonged, consolidated
scream fash Of muslin through the door,
and all was over.
The best of the joke is that the minister
took the whols thing in earnest. He would
listen to no apologies the old lady could
make for the girls. He would hear no ex-
cuse, but he solemnly folded bis clerical
robes around bim and silently stole away.
QuKRI-Was he mad at the girls, or-as
the old womanI Louisuas Ky.) Courier
