At a late hour Tuesday night quite a
b da' rsriy arrived 10 the city aud put
up at one OF our hotels. The bride was
accompanied by two or three young lady
friends, a a ,h' groom by two gentlemen.
The names were registered in the usual
way but in some way a mistake was made
in registering the identity Of the bride.
The hours sped on toward dawn. and the
bride In her silent chamber waited the ap-
psarapee Of her lord. Yet be came not.
S-reiy he was not sitting up all this time.
The rest Of tbs party had retired, she was
certain, since she had heard them in their
apartments. What had become Of him?
lmpatience gradually grew into ter
ror. She rang her bell aud the servant
knocked at the door.
do you know where ny husband is?"
she inquired.
"Aint he iu here, MANI
No"
Maybe he stepped out iulO tho city,
ham. and will be back directly"
I'm afraid; oh, do inquire at the Of
fee aud see if there is any intelligence about
him."
The servant retired, and in few mo-
ments returned with the information that
there was none. The wife was now alarmed
in earnest. She never had husband be-
fore. and, like the man who drew the ele-
phaut 10 the lottery, scarcely knew what
to do with the animal In her anxiety
she wcut to the room Of her bridesmaid
aud knocked at the door.
"Who's there ?" came in accents un'
nistakably masculine.
"Me, Sarah but mercy, who are you"
There was Il sudden stir and the sound
of feet falling heavily on the floor.
"Who the devil am in bed with, then2'
she heard the man say as the door swung
open and her husbands face peeped out
"Oh I'm distracted about you; wher,
have you been ?"
"I've been in bed but duce take me
| thought you were, too 7"
"Oh James it wasn't me-"
!, "Who is it, then ?"
why, it's Sarah"
The devil"
: "Oh! 60, James, 1t was Sarah. Didn
you know it, james ?"
Blast me if did found her ASLEEP

into bed and went to sleep" replied james
evidently impressed with the idea that b
had difficult case to argue.
"Is she asleep yet, james ?"
!, "Why, don't you hear her snore ?"
But Just then Sarah walked up, and se'
ing man in her room, filed the hall wit
people. And now the bridegroom foun
himself in a delicate position. In IL
