The Man that got Humbugged.

The stage In which | was a passen-
ger had stopped to change horses and
feed the passengers at small town
in Vermont, and, dinner over, we were
awaiting the arrival of a stage upon an
intersecting route to proceed upon our
journey. Cigars had been lighted, and
by way of passing our time we had
commenced critical examination OF
the mammoth pictorial posters of Bar
NUNS Menagerie, which covered the
walls of the spacious bar-room. Bar
NUNS name opened frightful topic oil
conversation. Every one present SEEM
ed stored with anecdotes of the " "Napo-
leon of showmenn and the woolly horse,
the Feejee mermaid and Joice Heath
were not forgotten in the discussion
which followed.
Suddenly tall, slab-sided individual,
with an owI-like expression of wisdom
and dignitE who had been listening to
our remarks with an evident desire to
take hand, broke out
II s'pose You think that's an ALFRED
big concern. Anybody would that had
never seen IT,
aThea I suppose you have seen it,
said my legal friend.
"Yaas, | seen it at Springfield" was
the reply. sI's darned humbug.o
!" Is it possible w said the major, see-
ing a prospect of fun. "Couldn't you
oblige Us with description of the in
stitution %
"Certainly,o said Jonathan; Hhere's
the stage, and as soon as we get started
I'll give you all the items. They can't
humbug me very often, and when they
do calklate to advertise for 'em till I
get square,
In q few minutes we were under
headway, and our verdant friend COM
menced unbosoming himself
"Ye see, Barnum was going to show
