A Slight Mistake.

An amusing incident took place the
other night at, q house in the Fifth
Ward. where q woman lay dead, All
"a late hour three young men who had
known the deceased went to the place
where the body lay for the purpose of
attending the wake. They entered
the front door quietly and passed into
the front room, where: several women
were carrying on q conversation in
low tone of.Yoice. The excellent quail
ties OF the deceased were being re-
hearsed and all seemed to be bowed
down under the great affection. On q
sofa in the room lay the form of a
woman. The three young, men cross
ed the floor :softly u, knelt beside the
sofa, and uttered fervent prayers for
the wellfare Of the spirit Of the depart
ed. The women in the room ceased
talking when the young men knelt
down, apparently awed by; the solem-
nifty Of the occasion. 35 t.7;.. :5.s
The prayers were finally concluded,
and the young men rose to their feet.
In rising the skirt Of one young mans
coat touched the face OF the form on
the sofa. Instantly her eyes opened
wide, and she raised herself on her
elbow. The feelings of the young
men can better be Imagined than: de.
ascribed. Their hair stood on end and
their eyes bulged out, but they did not
move. Sud- enly &one Of the number
gave vent to d piercing vel, and ran
from the house, closely followed by his

arc, I can't Afford to wastea whole gem
Grafton Of young men for the sake Of
getting one-tenth Of q second off q trot-

harm in horse-racing to the horse, in
