On Sunday evening of last week one
of our young men attended services
at the Congregational church for the
pleasure of seeing his best girl y
home afterwards, but thinking he
could amuse himself in the church
pa-lor to better advantage he with
drew to that part of the house. He
had probably been up late the night
previous for feeling a little tired he
laid down on one of the seats to
await the close of services, when 10 !
he fell asleep and was unconscious of
what was transpiring until the sex
ton espied and awoke him. Then
with a heavy heart hesalied forth to
find the "object of his alteration"
but failing in that he returned home,
and is now trying to find out whether
she went home alone or with the
" other fellow"
