The Phrenologist Posed.

An itinerant phrenologist was passing thro'
one of our New England villages, stopping at
each house he passed, in hopes of making his
scientific requirements the means of putting a
stray quarter into pocket-book which was
far from being plethoric. Among others. he
stopped at ru stic farmhouse, the proprietor
of which was Ousily engaged in the backyard,
in splitting up wood for consumption in the
approaching winter. The old farmer did not
take much notice of our phrenologist, who af-
ter watching the axe ascend and descend few
times ventured to broach the object of his vis-
it, by saying-sSir, I am phrenologist.-
Would you like to have me examine the heads
of your children7 1 will do it cheap
WALL said the farmer, pansing between
two strokes, Il rayther guess they don't need
it. The old woman conabes 'em tih the fine
tooth comb, once a 1Ceek -
The phrenologist cast look of mingled pi-
ty and indignation upon the man who had so
misunderstood the nature of the science which
he professed, and went on his way, sadder
but not richer one.
