can, upon the ne,0 plan, learn a young
man to read as well In taCO tDeekS, as he
could in six months, if taught upon the
old plan of 1850 After learning to read,
the student can make himself master of
Geography in Sir days, upon the Lancas-
terrain plan. Arithmetic learned in ttOert-
tn days Grammar acquired in tIOenty

thorough English education, can be ac-
quired in ten days each so that young

"VeriIy," exclaimed |, This is truly an
age Of humbuggery, and the "Gazerteer
aud Journal" is truly the greatest lying
paper upon earth F."
Upon examining the paper found it to
be daled, " Pooshalong, October 3, 1850"
Not satisfied with one examination, /
looked again, but there it was, as legible
as improved" printing types could make
il.
1now wondered whether were awake
or asleep. My venerable visitor was gone;
his Journal Of 1850, by some strange sor-
Gerry, had also disappeared: aud yet SO
real seemed the occurrences which have
related, that was left ia perfect bewilder-
ment
Now, can any one interpret this dream ?
ror it was but a vision of the sleepless
mind. Dreams have their morals-iheir
truths. Mine IS not without one; but |
cave its deduction to the sagacious reader.
