soMEwnAT MIxnD.-A young lady

SoMEwHAT MIxED.-A young lady
and gentleman in town were out one
evening not long since, each making
purchases. The lady bought a nice
dress and underwear to match, and
the gentleman purchased suit
coat, pants and vest. In the course
of their strolling around town, and
about the time their purchases were
completed, they accidentally met
each other and passed the usual sa-
lutations (for they were intimately
acquainted and supposed to be lit
tie sweet on each other); the gentle.
man CALAMITY proposed to escort the
lady home and carry her bundle,
which kind proposal was graciously
accepted. The lady was in a hurry.
She had taken the dress and other
articles on trial-it was late, and she
must try them on, and, if they did
not suit, return them at once, as the
store would be closed soon. They ar
rived at the gate, the lady taking her
bundle,as she supposed, and the young
man his; she entered the house and
he went his way. She hurried up
to her room, opened the package,
when the righteousness of the stu
alton flashed on her at once. They
had exchangedbundles! Here was a
fix. Whether the lady was suffi.
GENTLY inquisitive totry and see if the
pants would fit, or whether he tried
on the dress and other "fixins," is a
matter that is still shronded in mys-
terry.

did go on with it.
