A YOUNG MAN IgrGGED
AGAINST HIS WILL.

A most ludicrous scene transpired
in n place not thousand miles from
the city OF Louisville one night last
week, which, although little annoy
ing to the persons Immediately con-
cerned, was just SO innocent and fun
ny that VIC cannot refrain from giving
the general outlines, suppressing
names OF course:
Two sprightly and beautiful young
ladies were visiting their cousin, an
other sprightly and beautiful young
lady, who. like her guests, was Of
that happy age which turns every
thing into fun and merriment. II the
truth were told, we fear we should
have to record the fact that these
three misses were Just little fast
They were fond of practical jokes,
and were continually playing all sorts
of pranks with each other. All three
occupied a room on the ground floor
and slept in one bed.
Two Of the Dung ladies attended a
party on the night in question, and
did not get home until half past IL
O'Clock at night. As it was late they
concluded not to disturb the house
hold. so they very quietly stepped
into their room through the low, open
window.
In about half nn hour after they
had left for the party a young Metho-
dist minister called at the house where
they were staying, and craved n nights
lodging, which of course was granted.
As ministers always have the best oi
everything, the old lady put him to
sleep in the best room. and the young
lady Fanny who had not gone to the
party, was entrusted with the duty oi

them at once. They saw it all. Fam,
