he'd take her to it /; that loving and beloved,
they then could dream life away together.
Something she said in reply about the " bee,
and the stfower" and = an eloquent tongue,
bnt an intrusive footstep had interrupted the
tender ayowal, and nothing more had come of it.
Under these circumstances it is not surprising
the Young lady was little curious about the
party in the room below. Hearing low con-

felt Interested but when she heard her own
name mentioned, her desire. to hear more was
yery pardonable To this end she raised her
own window carefully, and propng it up with a
stick, leaned out, It is scarcely necessary to
remark that our fair friend was dishdbille, and
by no means prepared for the inspection of the
opposite sex. Indeed charms not fit for 1awless
eyes were freely exposed. Just at this juncture
an expression in the room below caused her to
lean still further out, when oh horror the win

and of course she screamed. Who wouldn't
scream if caught half and half in q window,
with nothing on but ones night dress, and two
impertinent young men gazing where they had
no right to gaze? The. reporter would have
screamed too. ~ ~

"No, you musn t-indeed you can't" replied
the unfortunate fair one, who had no idea of
permitting the youth to take look from that di-
rection too.

This was. done and the lady released F; but for
several days since she has kept her room, and
the young gentleman has had no opportunity to
condole with her on her misfortune.

WOULDN'T GO TO BED WITHOUT Her CERTIFICATE.
A short time ago couple from the rural dis
tricts of Indiana arrived in New Albany and put
up at the Commercial hotel. The gentleman was
a bachelor of the tender age of thirty-seven, and
the maiden had passed the heyday of youth; and
basked in the shade of twenty-six. 1t seems
they were bent on matrimony, and had come
here in search of that blissful estate, because a
" cruel parent" had denied it to the loving
would-be bride, because he had quarrel with
his daughters lover, in years gone by. Hehow-
ever saw it was no use to oppose, and at last
to the match, but forbade the perform
ance of the ceremony in his house. This being
the case, the pair gathered their effects together,
babe farewell to the old folks at home, and came
here on evening train. This was made known
10 the proprietor of the hotel, who soon had the
necessary papers in hand, and minister, who
boarded in the house, was called upon to per-
form the ceremony. This concluded, the new
made pair enjoyed the evening, until bedtime, in
the parlor of the hotel, chatting with the gen.
tlemen assembled. Bedtime came, as it gener-
ally does, and the proprietor, with lamp in hand,
entered the parlor to show the couple to their
room. They followed until the second hall on

bride exclaimed in a loud voice to the proprie-
tor: q" Mr. Mac, where is my certificate? You
needn't think you are going to get me in that
room until get it.p Neither Mr.. Mac nor her
husband could induce her to change her mind );
and the preacher had to be called up out of bed, ,
and make out the certificates, before the lady
would move peg. This being done, she
seemed satisfied that all was right and the door
opened and closed upon the scene. lo.,.. 4e.
