A Bride in the Wrong Bed.

A newly married pair put up at the Spen-
Ger house. They went out shopping-re-
turned--bride had left some things she
slipped out, found her lost articles return
ed mistook Main st. for Broadway
into the Madison for the Spencer. : It
looked a little strange asked boy if she
was in the Spencer-boy said yes, not fully
understanding her-she told him to lead
her to 48. She partially .disrobed and got
into bed-expected husband momentarily
fell asleep. The occupant of As Madison,
an Indiana merchant, returned from the
theatre, little tight-quictly went to the
room-to bed-to sleep. ~ !. ~ -. -.
How long the two reposed there side by
side uncon sci Gus Of each others presence,
is not known, but probably about. an hour,
when tremendous noise was heard in the
apartment, from which screams !, issued
wildly and ceaselessly. ~ i, -, j.
The hotel was in an uprcar, bProprie-
tors, clerks, WALTERS, porters and guests,
dressed and halfdressed, we're at the door
of As in a minute, blocking up the entrance
and asking each other eagerly, "What is
the matter2 Tell'us what is the trouble. !"
The cause of this cutlery may be imagin-
ed. The bride had awakened about mid
night, and, putting her arm over her hus-
band, as it might be, but wasn't, it fell up
on the lndianian's face, and the soft warm
touch aroused him at once. He did not
dislike it, and, in moment, Mrs. b. said,
My dearest husband where have you been
all this while p s;t,; :. 20 aGoar - 7s}le 4
Husband! echoed the merchant, who be-
gan to see like Lord T;nsel that he had made
slight mistake here; " I'm nobody's hus-
band reckon, my dear madam, you re
in the wrong bed" D. fa.
In the wrong bed horrors of horrors,
| thought the young bride. What would
her lord-what would the curious world
say? Mrs. r. screamed terribly and sprang
from the couch just as her companion done
the same. He was fully as much alarmed
as she, and entreated her to give him time
and he would leave the apartment, although
| it was the one he had engaged-he' d make
oath to that. ls EfEls 4IG be1aaHd ~

just at this luncture, the crowd outside
presented itself at the door, and beheld
Mrs: II. covering in one corner exercising
her lungs magnifcently, with a sheet wrapt
over her form and head, and the Indianian
in the middle Of the room enveloped iu a
coverlet, and calculating, Madam, don't!"

chant, went into anotherloom, and there
learned the whole story The doctor then
sent one of the ladies' to Mrs. r., and the
entire affair was explained, greatly to her
relief, though she was overwhelmed with
confusion at circumstance that might
have ruined her reputation for ever atas9
Under the escort of the doctor, she was
conveyed to the Spencer, where the
husband was found pacing the corridors,
with fahtic mein, lando half crazed with
grief at the mysterious disappearance of
his. wife, whom he believed was spirited
away by aiyillian, orr murdered for her
Jewels, in this internal city, where, as

AS soon as be beheld his spouse, he
caught her to his bosom and wept like a
child. He was melted with happiness at
