The Ourang Omag.-The Boston Daily Ad-
~vertiser says-"This curious animal has SO far
recovered her health and strength that she is of.
fered for public exhibition. il is but eighteen
months old, and IS consequently of small dimen-
Sims, being not much larger than a child of the
sam age. II has the nearest resemblance, we
believe, to the human form Of any species of
brute animal which exists. This resemblance is
the closest in the head. eyes and ears, aud in the
hands. The lips are large and proieeting and
usurp the place of the chin. but the teeth, tongue
and the interior formation of the mouth resemble
those of the human species. Its legs are small
and crooked. 1t walks erect, but generally with
its legs much bent. She uses her hand with
ease, handles a tumbler or other vessel freely.
and adjusts her hat. shawl or other clothing, in
an easy manner. 1t will be regarded as a great
curiosity; and if the spectator feels any sensa-
ton of disappointment. it must be from its di-
minutive size. 1t has grown considerably since
it was taken on board the vessel which brought it
to this country.

enance without resistance The gill
with grin OF most exquisite satisfaction
held the light, while her lover applied his
dull and Jagged razor to the hairy honors
ofthc stranger. Whiskcr and moustache
fell one after another-all beautiful as
they were, and dearly treasured as they
had been. The wretched dandy, like
the wounded Robespiere, lay with his
eyes closed, and silent, save when dull
groan or a smoihered curse told that the
tonsorial instrument acted in the double
capacity Of clearing and stump-dig-
ger.
"Now for his hair, Jane, ,"-said the
barber, and the formidable sheep-shears
went clipping amid the curled and per-
fumed locks of our hero. In few mo-
mcnts he was left whiskcrlcss and hair
less-an excellent candidate for wig.
"Good night to ye Mistcr!" said the bar
Der as he gathered up his apparatus and
left the room "The next time you try
to kiss a country girl you'll have smooth
face for it,"
I The next morning at breakfast, inqui-
rics were made relative to the gentleman
in whiskers--and the landlord on enter
ing his room found it completely vacated.
The hero had disappeared leaving moth
ing save his hair behind. The hostlcr
stated that just at daylight wild-looking
bald-headed being came rushing into the
stable, and demanded his horse. 1t was
no sooner furnished, than he threw him
self into the saddle and plunged into the
highway with the speed Of life and death.
The facts ofthe case soon appeared, and
the melancholy mishap ofthe dandy with
the mustachios, became standing sub
ject of merriment to the tenants and loun-
gers of the Inn.

From the Hartford Review.
THE MAN WITH THE MUSTA-
CUIOS.

1t was a " arm Saturday afternoon in
August that horseman turned up to the
inn which fronts the steepleless meeting
house of small village in the interior of
New England. As usual in the warm
Saturday afternoons Of summer, the male
portlous Of the villagers were assembled
nt the tavern-some drinking punch like
water, and others, the CIRCULAR old soa-
kers," discussing the merits Of pure
"New-England." Some were stretched
out haliasleep, and if the truth must be
told, half intoxicated, under the shade of
two venerable elms which overlooked the
highway in front of the inn, and others
were seated in the window seats of the
bar-room, gravely arguing upon matters
spiritual and political.
Bot the unusal appearance ofthe stran-
ger reused every one into the attitude of
curiosity. He was mounted on an ele-
giant horse, and, as he reincd him up in a
graceful manner before the door, every
eve was turned upon him. He was
some hat tali-with a dimnutive waist,
which would have answered to the SIM
ilitude Of Falstaff; Gan Eagles talon
and legs Of most inordinate length, fur
,ished with a close covering of light
,Ioth-looking for all the world like a
couple Of OK goaJs with eel skins drawn
