Decidedly Rich. We have friend-a bachelor
friend-very fond of the society of the ladies, but
extremely modest and difHdent withaL A few
evenings since he went to make a call upon an
acquaintance who had recently taken to himself
wife, young and beautiful, and, as a matter Of
course, overfowing with affection for her hus-
band Now this lovely wife Of a week, like other
young wives, could hardly survive the brief alb
sence Of her husband for the discharge of his bust


ness, and always on his return met him upon
the threshold, and smothered him with kiss
es. Il so happened when our friend called,
that the husband was absent, but momcntarily ex-
pected by the fond and anxious wife. She
heard his footsteps upon the step, and supposing
it to be her husband rushed forth 10 meet him;
and he had scarcely laid his hand upon the bell
pull, before the door few open and he was encir-
cled by pair of white arms, and burning kisses
fell thick and fast upon his lips and cheeks, while
Ia full and throbbing breast was strained TO hisl
Here wns trying situation for difidcnt man;
and our friend came near fainting on the spot;
but fortunately the lady discovered her mistake
in time to prevent such melancholy event, and
he escaped from the house more dead than alive.
The last we saw of him he was leaning against
tree tanning himself with bis sombrers, in order
to recover strength 10 regain his lodging.


Moral Ladies should be careful how they kiss
gentlemen in the dark, as it might be the means
of causing serious injury to young gentlemen Of
tender sensibilIies. Cincinnati alias.
