black, with short red hair, and armed
with an interesting looking cow hide,
which with fendish delight she cut the
air right and left as she BOWED along
at ten knot speed. Hating in front Of
a respectable looking house she attract
ed the attention of the inmates by
throwing brick against the door. Half
adoZen heads were thrust ont Ofas many
windows, among them that of we'll
known young gentleman recently mar
ried. The excited woman observed
this, secreted her cuwhide, and, with a
sanity smile, said :

speak with you moment"
Thomas complied with the request,
and, accompanied by his hlushing
young bride, opened the door and con
frOnted the visitor. That ancient in.
stituton cleared the front steps at one

One evening recently the friends Of n
married couple up in Chilicothe de-
tprmined to give them n surprise party.
To this end twelve couple Of Young
ladies and gentlemen, with well,fllpd
baskets, made their appearance before
the house about nine O'Clock. AS they
came up to the door they saw the gen.
tleman standing in the alleyway, with
his overcoat on, smoking cigar, and
the parlor all lighted mp. This struck
them as rather singular but the leader
grabbed the door knnb, and they rushed
hlariously In. The gas was burning
brightly, and six dignlHpd old ladies'
were sitting around the stove, looking
as solemn as grand iruuisitors.
:" Oh, my where's Matte ?" shout.
ed one exuberant young lady, setting
her basket on the piano.
She's up stairs" said an old lady,
looking over her spectacles with solemn
acrimonv.
Let's have her down" screamed
half dozen girls in chorus, as they
made break for the hall
Here, glrls, girls, don't 90 mp

attempt to check the proposed raid.
Why, what on earth's the matter
here, anyhow" inquired the impatient
darlngs.
Well, believe it's boy"
on, let's 90 -
And that company OF nice young
men and women moved away like a
soap bubble in hurricane, and the girls
never topped for beauX or basket, but
stuffed their handkprchiefs in their
mouths to hold their breath down till
they were safe behind their own doors,
