Isaruyrr,,s Confessions.

In late speech delivered by P I: Bar
nun, lie tansous, at an agricultural lar III
Connecticut, he entered into frank defence
of some of his professional transactions,
called by the world humbug. We select
the following amusing passages OF his ad-
dress:
"Humbug (said hey is generally defined
deceit orlmpositlon. A burglar who breaks
into your house, forger who cheats you oi
your property, or a rascal, is not humbug'
"A humbug is an impostor; but, in my opin-
ion, the true meaning of humbug is man
asement tact, to take an old truth and put
it in an attractive folm. But no humbug
is great without truth at the bottom.
The Woolly Horse was a reality; he
was really born with wooly coat.
bought him in Cincinnati for $500 and sent
him to Connecticut; but for long time |
doubted what should do with him, and
feared that he would die on my hands,
Just at this time, in 1849, Col. Fren ont and
his party were reported TO have been LOST
among .he Rocky Mountains. The pubic
were greatly excited but shortly news came
that he was safe. Now came the chance
for the WooIly Horse.
at was duly announced that, after three
days' chase upon the borders Of the River
Gila. an animal had been captured by the
quartermaster q" Col. Fremont's party who
partook IN singular degree OF the nature
of the buffalo, antelope, and camel. This
story was so far true that | was myself the
ouartermaster who captured him, and /
charged a quarter for the sight. The pic
ture outside the exhibition depicted the an
mal as jumping over ledge of rocks
Now, if the animal had really leaped as
shown in the picture, he must have passed
over a space Of FIVE miles. To have belev-
ed that he could have survived such leap
would have been The groSsest humbug.
Before | went to England with Tom
Thumb had skeleton prepared from va
lious bones. 1t was to have been buried a

there were giants OF old. The price | was

skeleton torether was to have been 1928 !;
but finding Tom Thumb more successful
than thought, sent word not to proceed
with The skeleton. My manager, who new
or tbonoht as highly Of the scheme "a ii de-
served, sold the skeleton for $50 or SIS.
Seven years afterwards re ceived from
The South an account OF gigantic skeleton
that had been found. Accompanying it
we're tbe certificates of scientific and medl
cal men as TO the genulneness. The owner
Asked $40 O0O or $1,000 month wrote

"And your money and trinkets," rejoln-

complain. But at this moment the soldiers
entered and, bandaging his eyes, they lit
ed him into the vehicle, and away it rolled
again.
at seemed very long stage-for Fro
gere calculated that he had travelled whole
day, when the vehicle again stopped AS
before, he was bandaged and led into a
wretched hut, counterpart of the first, ard
lighted by a piece Of blazing pine Hood.-
The same coaISe food was again placed be-
fore him. He looked at the faces around
him. None that he knew-none that IN
Spired him with comfort. After several
similar journeys, the vehicle again stopped.
E.oco,o'c 70 ,uaIl he could
tell, he had travelled three days and nights.
His eyes were bandaged as before; but in
stead of being led, lis guides seized him,
and carried him for some time, until they
placed mm upon a wooden bench. he
waited for few moments, and wondered
why the bandage was not removed. Al
last he heard soft whiSperings, and then
quick steps approaching. His hands were
suddenly seized, and tied behind his back
He tremblngly asked what it meant but
received no reply. In another moment his
coat was torn off his shoulders, and bis
breast laid bare. Frogere now thought that
eternity. instead Of Siberia, was to be the
goal of his journey. Take aim y was the
command OF one whose voice be thought he
knew-"Fjre r and several shots were al
once discharged. Frogere fell senseless &c
the ground He was raised, unwounded
and whilst he was borne along he became
sensible of division of soldiers marching
past HIM. Having been placed upon char
his hands were unbound, and the bandage
removed He then found himself in the
same re ON, at the same table, and in the
same company, where that unhappy 6On-
mot had escaped him. Opposite to hlm sat
the Emperor The astonishment, terror

poor actors face, so greatly excited the riSl-
Die faculties of Paul, that the entire COM
pany joined heartily in the mirth. Froge-

had only lasted twenty-four hours. The
Emperor had accompanied him in disguise
all the time, and found immense delight III

used to comedies, it was long before the
actor recovered from the sad dream OF the
imperial farce.

Am Fcegandic legend.

GAS early as 988, Errick Rande, an Ice
laudic Chieitain, fitted out an expedition o
twenty five galies at Suefell, and having
manned them with sufficient crews Of colo
nists. set forth from Iceland 10 what ap'
pcared a more congenial climate. They
sailed upon the ocean fifteen days, anc
they saw no land. The next day brought
with it a storm, and many a gallant veSse
sunk in the deep. Mountains OF ice Gov
eIcd the water as far as the eye could
reach, and but a few galicys escaped des'
truction. The morning OF the seventeenth
day was clear and cloudesS the sea was
calm, and far away to the northward could
be seen the glare Of ice fields rejecting on
the sky. The remains OF the shattered
feet gathered together TO pursue their yoy
aye, but the galley OF Errck Rdnde was
not there. The crew Of a galley which
was driven further down than the rest, re-
ported that, as the morning broke, the large
fields of ice that had covered the ocean
were driven by the current past them, ana
that they beheld the galley Of Errck Rande
borne by rasistless force, and with the
speed OF the wind, before a tremendous
field of ice-her crew had lost all control
over her-they were tossing their arms in
wild agony. Scarcely moment bad e.
ap>ed before it was walled in by hun
dred icehllls, and the whole mass moved
forward and was soon beyond the horizon.
That the galley of the narrators escaped
was wonderluI-it remained however, un-
contradicted, and the vessel OF Errlck Rande
was never more seen.
Hall century after that Danish colo
ny was established upon the western coast
of Greenland. The crew OF the vessels
which carried the colonists thither, in their
excursions into the interior, crossed range
OF hills that stretched to the northward (;
they had approached nearer TO the pole
than any preceding adventurers. upon
looking down from the summit of the bills,
they bcheld vast and iuterminabIe field
of ice, undulatng in vanoGs places, and
formed into thousand grotesque shapes.
They saw not far from the shore figure
in an ice vessel, with glittering icicles IN
stead of masts rising from it. Curiosity
prompted them to approach, when they be-
held dismal sight. Figures of men in
every attitude of woe were upon the deck,
but they were icy things one figure alone
stood erect, and, with folded arms, leaning
against the mast. A hatchet was procured
and the ice split away, and the fra ures Of
a chieltan disclosed, palid and deathly and
free from decay. This was doubtless the
vessel, and that figure the form of Errick
RAnIe BenumbeG with cold, all in lie
agony Of despair, his crew had fallen a
round him. The spray Of the ocean and
the fogs had frozen as it lighted upon them,
and covered each figure with an ICY robe,
which the >hort-ived glance Of Green
land sun had not time TO remove. The
Danes gazed upon the spectacle with trem-
bling. They knew not but the scene might
be their fate. They knelt down upon the
deck, and muttered prayer in their ma
tive tongue for the souls Of the frozen crew.
then harriedIy left the place, for The night
was approacIins,'

POETRY Y
Human Experience.

Human Experience
In piece of Frederick Tennyson'S' cane
.Summer and Winter" sage is thus represent
ed as speaking TO a poet, after nafratIng story
domestic sorrows:
As the earth turns unto the sun,
And from the sun again,
Thy heart must through its sorrows run,
And pass from joy to pain;
But know-the spring that wlthers here'
No more on earth can reappear.
As winter showers bring back Inc ieai'
AS winter SHOWS the green.
The heart of man must taste OF grief,
To be what it hath been
That grief. though not on earth, shall bring
Another and nobler spring.
Oh! thou must weep. and in the rain
OF tears raise up the prime
And beauty of thy heart again,
And toll, and fall with time;
And look on fate, and bear to see
The shadow of death famlllarly.
Thy noblest act is but sorrow,
To live-though i'll betall;
Thy great reward to die tomorrow,
Ii God and nature call;
In faith TO reach what ear and eye
Dream not, nor all thy phantasy.

A GEM.-The following beautiful epitaph
lpon an infant speaks to the heart:

Beneath this stone. in sweet repose,
Is laid mothers dearest pride;
A fJwer that scarce had walked to life,
And light and beauty, ere it died.
God. in his wisdom, had recalled
The precious boon his love had given;
And though the casket moulders here,
The gem is sparkling now in Heaven.
