A Bride. in the vvrons Ned.


A newly married pair put up at the. c.Spence
House-they wentou shopping-retuned-
bride had left some things--shc Tipped ou
| found her lost articles returned -mistool
Main street for Broadway--got into tn
Madison for the Spencer-it looked littl,
strange-askcd q boy IL she was in the Spen
ccr-boy said yes, not fully understanding
her-she told him to lead her to 4s-sht
partly disrobed and got into bed-expectine
husband momentary-fcll asleep. The oc
cupant Of 4S Madison, an Indiana merchant
returned from the theatre little tight
quietly went to the room-to bed-to sleep
How long the two reposed there side by
side, with only foot space between them,
unconscious Of each Others presence, is not
exactly known, but probably about nm hour,
when tremendous noise was herd in the
apartment, from which female screams issued
wildly, picrcingy and ccaslessly.
The hotel was in an uproar, proprietors,
clerks, waters, porters and guests, dressed
and half dressed, were at the door 4s in a
minute, blocking up the entrance, and ask
ing each other eagerly, "What is the matter?
For Gods sake tell US what is the trouble ?"
The cause Of this outcry may be imagined.
The gride had awakened about midnight,
and putting her arm over her husband, it
fell upon the Indianian's face, and the soft
warm touch aroused him ut once. He did
not dislike tin moment Mrs. X. said
My dearest husband, where have you been
all this time?"
Husband" echoed the merchant, begin.
ming to see, like Lord Tinscl, that he had
made smal mistake here, "rm nobody's
husband; recon dear madam, your in the
wrong bed.'
In the wrong bed horror Of horrors,
thought the young BRIDE. What would her
lord-what would the curious world soy? p
And Mrs. Il. screamed terribly and sprang
from the couch just as her companion done
done the same. lie was fully as much
alarmed as she, and entreated her to give
him time aud he would leave the apartment,
although it was the one he'd engaged-he' i
make oath to that.
Scream, scream, was her only reply to his
kindly proposition.
"My God, madam, don't yell so You'll
wake the house. Be reasonable; swear
it S only a mistake. Have some thought of
the consequence, Idon't want to hurt you
| swear don't. You will get me shot, and
Yourself
Just at this juncture, the crowd outside
presented itself at the door and beheld Mrs.
Il. covering in one corner exercising her
lungs magni6cently, with sheet wrapped
over her form and head, and the lndianaian
in the middle Of the room enveloped in
coverlet and calculating, my God, madam,
don't!"
The junior proprietor, DR.. Cashll, saw
there must be some mistake, and requesting
the other to retire, called the merchant, went
into another room, 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 a
circumstance that might have ruined her
reputation forever.
Under the escort Of the DOCTOR she was
to tho "Spcncer," where the hus-
band was found pacing the corridors, with
frantic mien, and half crazed grief at the
of his wife, whom he believed
had been spirited away by villain, or mur.
dered for her jewels, in this ''infernal city,"
where, as he expressed himself, they would
kill q man for dollar.
As soon as the spouse came, he caught her
10 his bosom, and wept like child. He
was melted with happiness at her discovery,
and told her he had searched that city for
intelligence Of her whereabouts. - Cincin-
