A YOUNG MAN HUGGED AGAINST
HIS WILL.

A most ludicrous scene transpired in
place not thousand miles from the city OF
Louisville, one night last week, which,
though little annoying to the parties i'm
medately concerned, was yet 50 innocent
and funny that we cannot refrain from CIV
ing the general outlines, suppressing names,
Of course.
Two sprightly and beautiful young ladies
were visiting their cousin another sprightly
and beautiful young lady, who like her
guests, was Of that happy age which turns
every thing into fun aud merriment. ii the
truth were told, we fear that we should have
10 record the fact that these three misses
were just a little bit fast They were fond
of practical jokes, and they were continually
playing all sorts Of praDks with each other
All three occupied room on the ground floor,
and cuddied 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
As il was late they concluded not 20 disturb
the HOUSEHOLD, 80 they quietly stepped into
their room through the low open window.
In about half an hour after they bad left
Tor the party, young Methodist minister
called At the house where they were staying
and crayed a nights lodging, which, d
course, was cheerfully granted As minis
tiers always have the best Of everything, the
old lady put him 10 sleep IN the best room,
aud the young lady (Fannie) who bad not
gone 90 the party, was entrusted with the
+ duty Of sitting up for the absent ones, and Of
/ informing them d the change u rooms. She
/ took up her post IN the parior, and as the
night was sultry, sleep Oyercame her, and
she departed on an excursion 20 the land Oi
dreams.
We will nov return 10 the young lsdies
who bad gone into their rooms through The
window. BY the dim light u the moon

saw more, tO-Wit: q pair u boots. Tie
truth flashed upon diem at once. They saw
it all Fannie had set the boois IN the room
60 give them good scare. They put then
beads together and determined to turn tbs
tables on Der. Sileutly they disrobed, and

on each AIDE Of the bed. at a given sigma
they both jumped into bed, one on each side
