Curious Telcgraphic Mistake.

A STORY is told of a young gentle
IA man residing in one of our large
cities, who was a member of small social
club. His most particular and intimate
friend among the members thereof was
youth who had gained for himself the
sobriquet of Sarah's Young Man." from
his devotion to that once popular air,
which in some form or other--either sung,
whistled or hummed-was seldom absent
from his lips. TO this club our hero,
whom we will christen Mr.. ", one
day found himself called upon to an
nounce his approaching marriage, and his
consequent withdrawal from their circle.
After the usual congratulations had been
rendered and accepted, and the usual lam
entations uttered, the members decided
upon rendering to their matrimonially
disposed and seeding comrade farewell
dinner, to take place as early as possible
after the termination of the wedding-tour.
The marriage took place, and Mr.. and
Mrs. X--s started on the bridal journey,
which terminated in that usual destina-
tion of newly-married couples-Niagara
Falls. Mrs. " was the most affec-
tionate and charming of brides, and her
husband was, of course, the happiest of
men. The period of their stay at the
Falls was nearly ended, when one day
MIR. x, on returning to his room
after short absence, was astonished to
find his wife in state in which indigna-
tion and Mysteries were struggling for the
mastery. She assailed him with torrent
Of reproaches He was a wretch-a vii
lain; she was miserable, ill-used,
wretched woman. She would leave him !;
she would go home to her mother! And
here Mysteries got the upper hand and
she burst into a passion of tears.
What is the matter ?" the amazed
husband at last found breath to calculate.
Read, sir-readv ~ sobbed the poor
little bride, pushing toward him an open
yellow envelope. L thought there light
be bad news from home, and | opened it;
and-oh-oh-oh-" Here she broke
down again, and Mr.. " unfolded
the important document which had pro-
duced such startling effects, in a state of
utter bewilderment. 1t was a telegram,
and it ran as follows:
"Our spree is fixed for the goth. Don't forget
We will have glorious time
yours ever,
"SARAH S. YOUNGMAN."
There, sir w cried Mrs. x. GLOW
can you ever dare to look me in the face
again ? Who is this Sarah Youngman q?
and what do you mean by promising to go
on spree wish her? and you just mar
ried too! You are a wicked"
Here a shout of laughter from Mr. X.
interrupted the flow of his wife's elo-
quence. He had been staring blankly at
the dispatch, and suddenly the whole af-
fair flashed across his mind. The tele-
gram was in reference to the promised
dinner, which his facetious friend had been
entrusted with the forwarding of, and
he had signed the dispatch "Sarah's
Young Mana signature which the tel
egraph operators had seen fit, intention
ally or otherwise, to alter to Sarah S.
Youngman. AS soon as his irrepressible
laughter would allow him to speak, he
explained the mistake to his wondering
and indignant wife, who, however, being
a sensible little woman, was speedily ap-
peased, and joined in the laugh, and to-
day numbers Sarah S. Youngman among
her most warmly welcomed visitors.
