YOUNG MAN RUGGED AGAINST
.tas HIS WILL.


A most lndicrous scene TRANSFERRED in a
place not thousand miles from the CITY
of Louisville one night lasr week, which.
Though little annoying to the persons
immedlsteiy concerned, was just so inno-
cens ana funny that we cannot refrain
from giving the general outlines, sup
pressing names Of cource.
Two sprightful 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 everything into fun and
merrlment. II the truth were told, we
fear we should have to record the fact
that these three misses were Just a little
bit FAST They were ford of practical
Jokes, and were continually playing all
sorts of pranks with each other. All
three occupied room on the ground floor
and cuddled up together in one bed.
Two of the young ladies attended
party on the night in question, and did
not get lone till half past twelve o'clock
at night. As 1t was la e they concluded
not to disturb the household, 50 they
quietly stepped into their room through
the low, open window.
In about half an hour after they had
lett for the party, young Methodist
Minister called At the house where they
we're staying and craved nights lodg-
ing, which, of course, was granted. As
ministers always have the best of every
thing, the old lady put bin to sleep in
the oest room, and the young lady.
(Fannle) who had not gone to the party,
was Entrusted with the duty of sitting up
Tor the absent ones, and informing them
OF the change of rooms She took up her
post in the parlor, and as the night was
suitry, sleep evercame her, and she de-
parted on an excursion to the lard of
dreams
we will now return to the young la
dies who had gone To their room through
the window By the dim light of the
moonbeams, as they struggled through
the curtains, the young ladies were en-
abled to descry the outlines Of Fannie
(as they supposedly ensconced in the mid.
Ole OF the bed They saw more, to-wit
PAIR OF boots They saw it all. Fan.
ME had set the boots in the room to give
them good scare, They put their heads
together, and determined: Co turn the ia
b'es on her Silently they disrobed, and
stealthily as Cats they took up their posi-
Ilon on each side of che bed. At given
signal they both jun ed into bed, one on
each side Of the unconscious parson,
laughing and screaming, oh, what a
man Oh, what mani They gave the
poor bewildered minister such promis-
cuous hugging and tustling as few per
sons are able to brag of in the colrse Of
life time
The noise OF the proceeding awoke the
old lady who was sleeping in an adjoin-
Ing loom. She comprehended the situa-
ton in moment, and rushed to the room,
she opened the door and exclaimed:
Gracious, gals, it is q man-it is q
man, sure enoughp
There was one prolonged, consolidated
scream; a flash of muslin through the
door, and all was over.
The best of thesjoke is the minister took
the whole thing in earnest. He would
listen to no apologies the old lady could
make for the girls. He would hear no
excuse, but solemnly folded his clerical
robes around him and silently stole away

the old woman ?-Louis0iLle Journal
