A STARTLED Manipulating Results OF
n Lndy's Getting Into the Wrong Bnth.

A few days since, in New Orleans, a
bridal party stopped at n o: the prin-
cipal hotels. There is always II charm
ing attractiyeness about such visitors
that insensibly affects all who come
within reach of them. The young lady
puts on n new beauty, which, although
she may have beon plain before, renders
her charming now. The groom, however
unimportaut he may have been, finds
himself at this period an object Of inter-
est. But the lady in this case was very
boautiful-one Of those charming crea-
lures who ~inscnsibly make an Eden out
of earth, and who strew mans path in
life with flowers, n pretty golden haired
blonde, fragile as n passion flower, and
with ayes which make somo dream Of
Heaven gazing into their fathomless
blue. The groom vas just such n man
as a lady like this would love, strong
and sinewy, with n face frank and
honest.
OF course, after n long ride in the
cars, n bath would not be only agreeable
but indispensable. So inquiries were
made as 10 where this essential was to
be obtained, and arrangements were
made accordingly. Now be it under
stood, that this convenience is SO ar
ranged at the hotel IN question, that a
lady and gentleman Especially when
the lady is the gentlcmau's wife, can
take their baths in adjoining apart
ments. But unfortunately for the hap
piucss Of our couple, baths NJ the same
time were ordered to be prepared for
other guests who had just arrived, and
by the most natural mistake in the
world, our bride got into the wrong
bath.
1t was in that moment Of supreme en-
joyment whom the warm, genial water
was coquetting With the beautiful form ;
when, like the maiden on the banks Of
the Ganges, the bride was ndmiring the
loneliness the water reflected, that the
door was pushed gently open, and n
tall, bearded masculine entered.
OF course the lady screamed-indeed
did she. Such q succession Of shricks
have rarely echoed through that build
ing, numborless ms may have been its
experiences in screams.
"Oh, hush ; for Gods sake, be quiet,
you'll alarm the city -
sob, you dreadful man u and the
shrieks waxed more loud and piercing,
md the angry little hands beat the water
around her into n foaming cascade, like
a miniature Niagara.
By this time the whole house was
alarmed, and the patter of running feet
was heard through all the corridors.
The man couldn't 60 out, because no
wasn't dressed he couldn't remain,
because he was immodest. The hus-
band by this time was laundering at the
door, and inquiring in accents far from
calm, what the devil was the matter.
"Help me-help me y screamed the
bride.
The Mortified husband heard in reply 4:
"wait till I get my clothes on, and
I'll CO."
He could endure no more, but burst
ing open the door, rushed like q demon
into the room, crying frautically for
"Mary, Mary, my God, what's the mat
ter 2" But at about the same time his
eye lighted on the stranger, Juggling
madly in Intellectual efforts to resume
his apparel. On him he seized, and,
with his fist raised, demanded the
meaning of this intrusion.
II was afforded in a trembling voice,
which disclosed his sense Of the peril.
"Thc lady had got into the wrong
bath, he was not aware Of her presence
until he undressed, he meant no otlcnse.
For mercy's sake let him out"
The explanation proved satisfactory,
the unfortunate stranger fled, and the
bride was left to the consultations of her
lord.
