A VOUNO WIFE IS AS KXTI1E51EI.V EMDAB-nASSIN'O SITUATION, AND HEB DELIVKliANCK TIIKXC'B. '. Some days since, a young cooplo, who had newly donned hytner.ial vestments, came from their home, a pleasant village in this this Stato, to spend a portion of tho supposed to be delicious honeymoon, and placed them selves under the charge of the proprietors f tho Spencer House. Then they sollkd forth to witness the beauties and peculiarities of thd Queen City, and do, as brides are wont, a quantity of the little business embraced in the term 'shopping.' Tbey were gone several hours, and did not return to the hotel until sundown, quite fatigued with their exertions. Tho brido, Mrs. 11. then found that she had forgotten some articles indispcnsiblo to her toilet, and unwilling to disturb her husband, who, she knew, must bo weary, slipped out whilo he was down stairs, and went up to Fourth street to get the diminutive bundle. Sho was successful in her search for tho store and tho article, b 'ton her way back mistook. from her ignoranco of the city, Main street for Broadway, and the Madison for the Sponcer, House, which are situated nearly opposite to each other. Mrs. It. went into the hotel, nnd thinking it looked rather different, from the other, asked one of the waiters she met in tho hall, in rather a low and indistict tone, if that was tho "Sponcer," to which he, failing to understand her, replied in the affirmative, She then ordered rim to bring her tho key to No. 48, Which he did, and she entered it, and removed her bonnet, and shawl, and other portions of her attire, and crept between the sheets of the bed to enjoy a little nap after hor long walk, never dreaming sho was in the wrong house, fur tho reason that the apartment hap pened to have the same position, and furnished very much like her rotfm at the "Spencer." Instead ol taking a ' little nap'' sho fell into a profound sleep, that continued hour after hour until 11 o'clock, at which time she was disturbed by a most unexpected incident. The rightful occupant of No. 43. a merchant from a town in Indiana, who had been to the thcatro and become a little intoxicated, went to the Madison, and wishing no one to see his condition, walked np to his room without a light, and fortunately, or unfortunately, found tho door unlocked. He enter-e d quietly ,ond as total darkness reigned there, he removed his garments nnd crept into the spacious doublo bed, not disturbing in the least tho fair bride who lay near tho wall. How long tho two reposed there sido by side, with only afoot of space between them, all unconscious of each other's prescncc,is not exactly known, but probably about an hour, when a tremendous noise was heard In the apartment, from which female screams issued wildly, piercingly and ceaselessly. The hotel was in an uproar; proprietors, clerks, waiters, porters and guests, dressed and hall-dressed, were at the door of "Win a few minutes, blocling up the entrance and asking each other eagerly: "AVhat is tho matter?' "For God's sako tell us what is the trouble?" Tho cause of tins outcry may be imagined. The brido had awaked about midnight, and putting her hand over for her husband, it fell upon tho Indlttnlnn's faco, and tho soft, warm touch aroused him at onco. Ho did not understand it exactly, though he did not dislike i nnd in a moment more. Mrs. U., said: "My dearest hue band, where have you been all this while?" "Husband," echoed tbo merchant, beginning to see, like Lord Tinsel, that he bud made a small mistake; "I am nobody's husband. I reckon, my dear madam, you'ro in thp wrong bed," In tho wrong lied horror of horrors, tho't tho brido. What would her liego lord what would the curious world say? And Mrs. R. screamed terribly and sprang from the couch, just aa her companion did tliof same. Ho was fujly as much, alarmed as sbu,and entreated her to give him time and ho would leave tho apartment, although It was the one he bad engaged he'd tnako oath to that. Scream, scream, scream, was the only re. ply to this kind'y proposition. "My God, madam, don't yell so! you'll wake tho house. Be reasonable, I swear it's only a mistake. Have some thought of the consequences. I don't want to hurt you, 1 swear 1 don't. You'll get me shot mi yourself, woll, I wont sty what." The scream increased, and the poor Indiani-an, expecting every moment to see a pistol thrust ibto his face by a jealous husband, turned pale as death ami rcsignjpd1 him', self to his fate. " . . Just at this jiunrtffns, tho crois outside presented itself at the door, and"iJeheld Mrs. II., cowering in one corner, exercising her Inngs magnificently, with a sheet wrapped over her form and head, and tbe Indianian in the middle of the room, enveloped in a coverlet, and ejaculating, 'My God, madam, don't.' The juniorpropn'etor, Dr. Cahill, saw there was some mistake, and requesting the others to retire, called the merchant out, and went with him into another rocm.nnd there learned tho whole story. The Utoetor then sent one of the ladies of the hotel to Mrs. It. and the ontire affair was explained, greatly to her relief, though she was overwhelmed with confusion at a circumstance that might have ruin ed her reputation forever. Under tho escort of the Doctor, sho was conveyed to the "Spencer" where tho hus band was found pacing tho corridors with frantic mien, and half crazed with giiof at the mysterious disappearance of his wife, whom he tclieved had been spirited away by some vilRun er murdered for her jewels in this "infernal city' where, as ho expressed it, ''they would kill a man for a dollar anytime ." An soon' as ho beheld his spouse ho caught her to his bosom1, and1 wept like a child. He was melted with happines9 at her discovery and recovery, and told her that he had scour, ed the city for rrtrfKgeneeof her whereabouts in vain. He had nearly given1 urafl hope of meeting her again- in this world, though, as he, growing poetical i jloy .phrased it, she had, thank heaven, returned to him like angel from another sphere, and irtadc his "Paradise in the Ed on of horfotc," The brido told the bridegroom' a story as near the truth at she could, which, like most women's histories, designed to shelter them selves, was a model of ingenuity and a miracle of art without exciting the Othello in his bosom; and with a thousand thanks to the Doctor, whom the Benedick seemed some how to regard as the deliverer of his consort. they bade him good night And fell asleep with Love; and happiness; Led thorn with fragrant torch through beauteous lanes, Where bright ideas shone, nnd all the heart had hoped, Was pictured in tho spirit'sscnndiingoyo. Anecdote of I)n. Webster, a Scotch Minister. In 1774, Dr. Webster was a popular preacher of the Kirk of Scotland, in Edinburgh. Business brought him to Lon don, and one day, when passing tho House ol Lords, his curiosity induced him to make an effort to step in and see them. Nono were admitted without an order, except noblemen's servants. Webster being ignorant of the rule, requested admittance. "What Lord do joa bcloTrg to7" sard the doorkeeper. "To the Lo'd Jehovah," replied Vi ebslcT "The Lord Jehovah?" repeated the keep er; "I have kept hero seven years, but I never heard of such a Lord. Jack," said be to his fellow-keopcr on the front steps, "here's a chap who says be belongs to the Lord Jehovah; do you know such a Lordf "Never heard of him," said Jack. "But," said Webster, (willing to keep up the illusion, "there is such a Lord." "Pass 'em in," said Jack, "I s'posc its some poor Scotch Lord." This occurred at a period when then was not ono in twenty of all the manufacturing and rural districts in England, who could read thu biblo or write bis own n.nuo. Sib-bath schools were introduced in 1783. Now tho people nro intelligent and happy, and can not only read and write, but have found out who tho "Lord Jehovah" is. Omni Thor- burn. QJj" Thcro is a good story t(M of a hand- sonio Yankeo peddler who made love to a buxom widow, down in Pennsylvania. He accomplished his declaration with an allusion to two impediments to their union. "Name them," said tho widow. "Tho want of means to set up a retail store." They "parted, and tho widow sent the peddler a cheque for ample means. When tbey had met again the peddler had hired and stocked his store, and tho smiling fair ons begged to know tho other impediment "I hive yut a wife. A HaLTc! Cufitcrxer.' A green looking customer observed a sign hanging over agrocery store, ending thus: "Wholesale and Ketail Store," Ho worked his way through the crowd of ladies' and gentlemen, until ho got facing- one of tho clerks, who was exhibiting somo fine sugar to a young lady, when he broko out with: "Say Mister, who's boss here?" "The proprietor has just stepped out, sir." "Well, be this a retailing shop?" Tho young man hardly comprehending greeney's thoughts, simply answered: i "Yes, sir; a wholesale and retail store." "Guess you understand your trade.'' "Oi yes," replied tho clerk, wrnppir.g up a bundlo lor his lady customer, "what can I do for you." "Well, as tho cold weather is coming on, I thought I moaght as will' como and giv you a job." ' I Ji.-'-( "I don't understand you, stranger," replied tho clerk, who began tc tlfink" the follow was jn tho wrong box. 'Zactly so; woll, 1 11 tell you." "Explain what you mean, my friend" said the clerk, as he saw bitrf protlifbe a bundle from under his coat. "Well, as I said before the cold weather's coming on, I thought I mought as well be fixin (or it. Como mighty near frcezin t'other winter, tell yo I did, but' "Strangor, 1 hop you will tell me what you want, so I may serve you," interrupted the clcik. seeing there were a number of customers waiting te be served, but who, in fact had almost forgoten their errands in the rich conversnlibn between t&e chih ami lb dtotl customer. "Certainly, squire, eertufnly, 1 always do business in fthuYry, and jus i&nuiclf as the old master will let you, I want you t'o're-ra; these old shirts! Let 'cm como dbwn to about the kr.ees, ttose 1 don't wear any drawers! " The effect fflay bo imagined, but, as the novelists say, can't bo described. The Krai) burst of laughter wtvi'eh followed, served to convince tho poor fellow fto Had committed himsilf, and hiTWfig legs wcro put in motion at the rate of 2:10. ItEnucisO'THE Fink. An Irish woaver just imported from the sister isle, took his employer Kilmarnock, thor'cUWtY day, the first cloth he had wovon sittCB'hlsWrival. His otnployor detected in' the cloth two holes, within half an inch of each otherj-ahd' told him ho must pay a line of one shilling1 for each holo.

Tho wonderful argument between tiro W. bio and tho facts of science is every yertr becoming more apparent. At the anniversary of tho Biblo Society in Indon, Dr. dimming spoke ns follows: Is it tract hat science In its freet dcvelpp-ment in the least degne contradict any written word of God? Onco it was paid that It did; but what are ths last results? Tl at the progressive science of the nineteenth century and the statements in the blessed book show that true science and true religion have acom-mon origin the I riso ffl trf Ood; mars), yonr Biblo was not writtcit to teach science but It is tho only book that will stand the test of science. Tho Veda, the Shaster, and the Ko-ran cannot stand the test, but tho Bible cam and even where it seems to us beset wiih difficulty and mystery, thoso passages by modern investigation sbino will) a brilliant light. Lot mo mention to you one or two proofs of this. First ol all, tho Biblo never hints at a system of science. If it had been written by mcro human writers ihey might haveindica-t'd here and there something like a system of science. It speaks of flowers ard trees, from the hyssop on tho wall to the cedar of Lebanon, but there Is not a hint of ft system of botany. It speaks of s Lira and sun and moon but not a hint of a system of astronomy. So that no investigator or professor of science can assert that be is in tho least degree assisted or impelled in his system of science by thf lliblcj so tint it seems to me. tho science ol the lliblc is as impressive as its eloquence, just as on the dial t lie shadow and tho sunshine are alike instructive as lo the hour of tho day. Then take the Word 'firmament,'' which you find in Genesis. In the Greek it is Iraaslatcd by a word signifying a concave with a vast solid mass. Translators transla ted it according to their knowledge but whtn you go back lo the original Word you find that it mean.U'spaco'w'illiout limit."
