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

gentleman was now as angry tviih himself
as ho had before boon with bis unoffending
neighbor, though he does not appear
to have inflicted an pqnally severe
punishment upon his own stupid head as
upon that of his fellow-lodger. On tic-"
spending to his own room lie found his
wife la?.t aslcrpiu his own bed. The poor
neighbor overhead was the worst off of
the whole party. He was soundly buffc- ?
ted, and his swollen and disfigured face
did not allow him for several days afterward-.
to venture abroad
