In a moment we heard cur visitor climbing
up to get a sight Of the "cr..cr" siang back
in our chair, elevated our blessed fec. higher
than our blessed head, elu.ching large walk
ing stick in one hand, holding pen in the 9th
or, and putting vigorously at a cigar. We stared
him full in The face, the moment that interest
ing component part Of his animal economy ap-
peared at the edge Of lhe partition. And what
pbz it was ! What a compound ofverisncy
cunning, curiosity, apprehension and as.onish-
ment a single look seemed to be jast enough
! for he reached The floor on the ohsr side at
leap.

the clerk 'the critters in one Of lis tau.rums,

The clerk looked into the room, and return

minnie or two We heard him exclaim,
Meow, or never, by the Twin pie plan. p
And presently he edgevised into the room,
and stood in qhe presence" twirling Lis hat
in his fingers, and rolling his eyes abou! "l.ke

ing, and scribbling By turns, and taking it raih
or easy.

mods and shakes of the head. Our visitor wan.
