Ai'i'rovi:d October Ittth, 1S37. Lock Youtt Hkuroou Ooons.?The following whimsical atl'uir occurred lately at Marseilles, where it appears to have aftorded much matter 1<>r merriment: A w rrthy citizen, returning home rather late, went by mistake ??ne floor higher than lie ought to have done, and very innocently walked into a room where another citizen, no less worthy than himself, had quietly consigned himself to slumber by the side of bis own liege and legitimate lady. The summer night was not too dark for our intruder to be able to find his way into bed without the aid of a candle, and accordingly he proceeded without more ado to disrobe himself. In the art of getting into bed his hand encountered the hairy head of his unconscious neighbor, and the horrid idea immediately suggested itself that the wife of his bosom had proved frail, and that another had leaped into his sent. Furiously he raised his fist and discharged blow after blow on the unoffending countenance of his supposed rival. It takes hut little lime to awake even the soundest sleeper under so effectual an application. The beaten man started up, but his antagonist had the advantage of him, and was not to lie prevailed on for a moment to desist from the merciless discipline which he wns in the act of inflicting. The screams of the frightened wife soon brought other inmates of the house to the field of battle at#i then, at length, an ^ f A /> A A M i A.I Tlvr.
