Kissed the Wrong Fellow

1t is sometimes unfortunate to have a
friend who resembles you, even though
the resemblance extends no further than
the back of the head A fellow in our
town found it so
His friend Pendleton was spending n
few days with him, and he took great
pleasure in introducing to him Miss
Davin, his fancce, and her friend Miss
Elton.
1t was Fourth of July afternoon that
the introduction took place on the ground
of the annual celebration.
The ladies soon wearied of the gay,
noisy crowd, and as Miss Davlin's cozy
little phaton was at hand, they decided
10 return to Miss Davlin's home,
"You will bring your friend over to
tea, will you not, Frank :" Miss Davlin
said to Mr.. Kimbal, as she took up the
reins. ... '.i'h es.3 5 .. ..
"Thank you," Kimbal replied. I'm
afraid Pendleton hhsanother engagement
but I'll bring him if can"
The young ladies drove away, and ar
irving at the Davlin mansion, retired
Immediately to their dressing-room.
When their toilet was but half COM
pleted Miss Davlin heard the gate shut
and then footsteps on the front walk.
Surmising that her lover had arrived,
and aware that there were no servants
in the house, she ran to the front hall
window and called out 'il @
"Frank, is it your
eyes"
"Well, then, please walk into the
parlor and make yourself at home. I
will be down in few moments" ,.
"All right" i.l y
"Mr Pendleton did not come, Helen,"
she said to her friend as she returned to
the dressing room; "Frank is alone, so
I'll hurry down"
Her arrangements were soon COM
pleted, and tripping lightly down the
stairs, she entered the dining room, and
peeping through the parlor door, saw
her lover sitting in an easy chair with
his back towards her."
"Ill give him a little surprise"
thought the young Lady mischievously
Tip-toe-ing along the soft carpet she
succeeded in entering the parlor, and
reaching his chair before he was aware
of her approach. With eyes bcaming
with love and mischief she suddenly
threw-her arms around his neck and COW
cred his face with kisses.
Faily out of breath at last she desist-
ed with the exclamation
'There, how do you like that, sirP
"Very well, indeed" responded Mr.
Pendleton, coolly. With cry of horror
Miss Davlin gazed around the room, and
to her astonishment, Fshs beheld her af-
fanced lover seated by the window sur
veying theextraordinary proceeding with
CONSERVATION.
"Why, III thought it was you,"
the POOR girl stammered, and then, femi-
nine,ike, burst into, tears, and dashed
from the room, leaving the two young
men in serious danger of convulsions.

. ADrunken Deer.

il. It is stated by an authority that the
deer-at any rate the French deer-ffor
all his amiable qualities gets drunk. But
only at this time Of the year. He then
throws himself with avidity upon Ger
tain tender shoots containing a: juice
which terments in his stomach and in
;toxicates him to such an extent that he
strays from his usual haunts and follows
his nose.' Thus it, came to. pass that a
deer lin liquor was discovered by peas
ant, also in liquor, lying dead drunk in
q ditch on the road to the village Of
Queu- EN- brie. The peasant, delighted at
the, godsend, tied the deer's legs together
with handkerchief, and, having hoisted
the animal on his shoulders, prepared to
carry him off. The deer reused from his
drunken sleep by this treatment, became
SO troublesome that the peasant, who was
Of an inventive turn, took of his blouse,
passed it over the deer's head and i'm
proVised by means of it a straight-jacket,
which paralyzed the beasts movements.
He had just finished these intelligent pro-
ceedings when he perceived two gend-
armies, who, without more ado, requested
to be furnished with his name and ad-
dress, in view of legal proceedings. In
the meantime the deer, whose feet had
been united, scampered of; a little en-
barrassed by. the blouse, to his doe and
family, whose. CONSERVATION at his strange
appearance may be imagined. He prob
,ablyshad Q bad time Of it when he reach
ed his y, own quarters, while the peasant
had to reckon with the legal authorities.
Thus we see how q deer, as we'll as a man
got into trouble through drink. ils 3ff
