Never mind Sir kindly responded l.,
glad to get rid of his tormentor upon any
terms.

he stepped up to one Of the attaches Of the
Circus, procured a ticket and handed it tc
the excited Frenchman.
Poor Frenchy took the square piece oil

book-gathering up his hat-box and um-
brella, and reaching the Hotel, was fortu-
nate enough to find six feet of the parlor
floor unoccupied. Stretching himself out
at full length he was soon in the land OF
dreams where no doubt his soul reveled and
doundered in whole seas Of frog soup.
In the morning soon after break fast, we
were all seated comfortably in the cars and
tearing along at break neck speed.-
Frenchy sat close by me, and jabbered in
cessantly. Shortly after the Conductor
entered, with the usual salutation Of tickets
gentlemen Our little friend opened his
pocket book, took out the ticket ne had re-
ceived the night before, and presented it to
the Conductor. : -
This is not the right ticket, SIR

know nothing about your connections,
sir; only know that that ain't the right
ticket, and if you don't produce the proper
document before we reach town, you'll
have to pay your fare.'
He was Just about to ussassinate English
in reply, when n benevolent individual,
who sat next to him, explained, as we'll MS
he could, the true nature Of the case. This
only had the effect Of changing the curren,
of his rage, and he ehaied up and down the
floor, showering invectives on the devoted
head of the agent who had given him the
ticket the night before.
'Ah yes, begar, have now see-I have
been vot you call dc hum-bug-but nevair
mind, sail return esterday-tosmorrow
-sometime, and shastise de dem rascal
vera much, great deal, several time.'
While laying this fattering consolation
to his wounded soul, his eye happened to
rest upon poor l., who sat quietly at
the far end Of the car-and recognizing
him as the stage agent of the night before,
he at once ''opened upon him.
'Sare, you are vera great scoundrel,
and | sail give you five cent to black my
boot.'

Sir said l., rising from his seat in
evident Indignation, what do you meant
How dare you apply the word pickpocket

'Sare, sail soon show you what have
