The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1867-07-18
Young Minister Rugged Against
His VIII.
From the Louisville Courier.


A most ludicrous scene transpired in .
place not thousand miles from the city
Of Louisville, one night last week, which
though q little annoying to the parties i'm
meaaiately concerned, was yet SO innocent
and funny that We cannot refrain from
giving the general outlines, SURPRISING
names, of course.
Two sprigbtly and beautiful young Ia
dies were visiting their cousin, another
sprightly and beautiful young lady, who
like her guests, was of that happy age
which turns everything into fun and mer
riment. If the truth were told we feal
that We would have to record the fact that
these three misses were just little bit fast
They were fond of practical jokes, and
were continually playing all sorts OF mad
pranks with each other All three occu-
pied rccm on the ground floor, and cud-
died up together in one bed.
Two Of the young ladies attended par
ty on the night in question, aud did not
get home till half past twelve o'clock at
night AZ it was late they concluded not
TO disturb the household, 50 they quietly
stepped into their room through the low
window.
In about half an hour after they had
left the PARTY Young Methodist minister
called at the house where they were stay
ing and craYed lights lodging, which,
Of course, was cheerfully granted. As
ministers always have the best Of every
thing, the old lady put him to sleep in the
best room, and the young lady (Fannie)
who had not gone to the party was en-
trusted to the duty of sitting up for the
absent ones and Of informing them Of the
change Of rooms. She took up her post
ia the rarlor, and as the night was sultry,
sleep oyercame her and she departed or.
an excursion to the land Of dreams.
We Will now return to the young ladies
who had sone into their room through the
window. By the dim light of the moon
beams as they struggled through the cur
tains, the young ladies were enabled to
descry the outline OF Fannie Gas they sap-
posed ensconced in the middle Of the led.
Trey saw more-to-wit, q par OF boots.
The truth flashed upon them both at once.
They saw it all Fannie had set them in
the rooom to give them good scare
They put their heads together and deter
mined to turn the tables on her. Pres
entity they disorbed, and as stealthily as
cats they took their positions at each side
of the bed. vt given signal both jump
ed into bed, on each side Of the uneou-
scious parson, laughing and screaming.
'Oh, what man. Oh, what a man -
They gave the bewl1ered minister such Il
promiscuous hugging and touSling as few
persons are able to brag Of in the course
of life time
The noise Of this proceeding awoke the
old lady who was sleeping in an adjoining
room. She conprehended the situation
at once, and rushing to the room she open
ed the door and exclaimed Ny God,
gals, 1t Is 4 man !; it is man sure enough
There was one prolonged. consolidated
scream; flash Of muslin through the
door. and all was over.
The best thing Of the joke is that the
munster took the whole thing in earnest
He would listen to 10 apologies the lady
could make for the girls. lie " uld hear
no excuse, but he solcmnly folded his cler-
ical robes around HIM and silently stole
away.
Query-lYas he mad at the girls, or
at the old woman
