A moat ludicrous scene transpired in a place not a thousand miles from the city of Louisville, one night last week, which, though a little annoy to the parties immediately concerned, was yet so innocent and funny, that we cannot refrain from giving the general outline, suppressing names, of course. Two sprightly and beautiful young ladies were visiting their cousin, another sprightly and beautiful young lady, who, like her guests, was of that happy age which turns every? thing into fun and merriment. If the truth were told, we fear that we should have to record the fact that these three Misses were just a little fast. They were fond of practical jokes, and were continually playing nil sorts of pranks with each other. All three occupied a room on the ground floor, and cuddled up toge? ther in oue bed. The two young ladies attended a party | on the night in question, and did not get home until half-past 12 o'clock at night. As it was late, they concluded not to disturb the household; so they quietly stepped into their room through the low open window. In about half an hour after they had left for the party, a young Me? thodist minister called at the house where they were staying and craved a night's lodging, which, of course, was cheerfully granted. As minis? ters always have the best of every? thing, the old lady put him to sleep in the best room, aud the young lady (Fannie) who had uot gone to the party, was entrusted with the duty of sitting up for the absent ones and of informing them of the change of rooms. She took up her post in the parlor, and as the night was sultry, sleep overcame her and she departed on an excursion to the land of dreams. We will now return to the young ladies who had gone into their room through the window. By the dim light of the moonbeams as they struggled through the curtains, the young ladies were enabled to descry the outline of Fannie (as they sup? posed) ensconced in the middle of the bed. They saw more, to wit: a pair of boots. > The truth flashed upon them both at once. They saw it all. Fannie had set tho boots in the room to give them a good scare. They put their heads toge thor and deter? mined to turn the tables on her. Silently they disrobed, and as stealthy as oats they took their positions on each side of the bed. At a given signal they both jumped into bed, one each side of the unconscious pardon, laughing and screaming, "Oh, what a man! Oh. what a mau!" they gave the poor bewildered minis? ter such a promiscuous hugging and tussling as few persons are able to brag ofin the course of a life-time. The noise of the proceeding awoke the old lady, who was sleeping in an ndjoiuiug room. She comprehended the situation in a moment, and rush? ing to the room, she opened the door and exclaimed: "My God, gals, it is a man; it is a mau, sure enough!" There was one prolonged, consoli? dated scream; a flash of muslin through the door, and all was over. Tho best of tne joke is, that tho minister took the whole thing in earnest. He would listen to no apologies the old lady could make for the girls. He would hear no excuse, but ho solemnly folded his clerical robes around'him and silent? ly stole away. -? GiULrt.-There are two kiuds of i girls. Ono is the kind that appears ] best abroad-the girls that are good for parties, rides, visits, balls, &c, and whose chief delight is in such things. The other is the kind that appears best at homo-the girls that are cheerful and useful in the dining room, sick room, and all the pre? cincts of home. They differ widely in character. Onu is often a tor? ment at home; the other a blessing. One is a moth, consuming everything about her; |the other is a sunbeam, inspiring light and gladness on all around her pathway. The right ed? ucation will modify both a little, and thus unite the good qualities of both in one. ingenious scientific peuple tbnfc ii the were shot at the sun from its present distance and with its present velocity, and & telegram simultaneously sent to the solsr inhabitants, they would receive the message in five minutes* tho earth would bo seep coming to? ward them after the lapso of eight minutes, and they would have nearly two months to prepare for the shook, whioh would be received over ten years before they heard the explosion. A good story is told of nn old Vir? ginia planter who was missing corn from his crib. One night he told a colored boy to set a trap iu the crib. The next morning the boy came run? ning to the house, exclaiming, "Bress God, Massa, if there isn't a while feller out there at tho corn crib, shaking banda, wid dat steel trap." ""What brought you to prison, my colored friend?" "Two constables, sah." "Yea, but I mean had intemperance anything to do with it?" "Yes, sah; dey was bofo of 'em drunk." It i? related of two old Scotoh ministers, that the one asked the other if he was not sorely tempted at times to go fishing on Sunday afternoon. "Oh, mon," replied his fellow-laborer, "I'm never tempted lang, I just gang." AN EATING ACQUAINTANCE,-A Ca? rib being asked ii he remembered a certain benevolent missionary, calmly replied: "He was a good man; me ate part of him;" In Illinois, the osage orange hedge is planted, cultivated and warranted, for ono year, at thirty cents a rod.

April 19_ PROSPECTUS OF lin: CHRISTIAN NEIGHBOR. aOD willing, I shall cause to bo pub? lished, at a placo, time and price hereafter dotormiued upon, a Weekly Paper, with tho above style and title. The general object of tho publication will be the maintenance of thc Christian Scriptures as the standard of right, in all questions which involve morality, whether these questions appertain to man indivi? dually or collectively, and whether arising from his relation to God or hi? neighbor. Enjoining conscientious obedience to all the ordinances of civil government not in conflict with tho law or Ood, tho CHRIS? TIAN NEIGHBOR will bo an unequivocal advocate of Christianity as opposed to war, either offensive or defensive. While neither politics nor other ineongc nial matter shall in any wise alloy; yet the principles of Christianity will be applied to all matters, so far as they involvo moral principle Politics shall be* excluded from religion, yet tho former shall not be ex empt from tho application of the latter. Identified with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, whose authoritv under God is paramount with me, and holding the principles annouueed, the NEIGHBOR is offorou as a medium of advocacy of ail the interests of Christianity in that'branch of the Church, and also as au agency for en? larging and establishing in other churches, and ir. tho regions beyond, that Kingdom of Christ "which is not of this world." I desire to ascertain, through the agency of all who will eo f??r interest themselves, what number of subscribers (name, post oftice, County and State,) may be reck? oned in tho beginning; tho price governed by sizo of sheet for six or twelve mouths to be forth-coining on the reception of tho first number.
