Strange il True.


The Philadelphia Euening Post contains the fol
lowing wonderful and interesting story:
"As man was walking in his garden he discov-
cred two clothes horses. He then took them into
his stable wi:ere he soon broke them. He then
put the yok of egg their necks, attached them
to cart with the bonds Of friendship, and covered
them with sheet lightning to protect them from the
flies. He then leaped upon the cart, sat upon the
seat of government, took the whip of top in one
hand and the reigns ofseveral kings in another,
and drove off, passing through the gait Of buffalo
over background coffee for three miles; but in
ing the track of snail, he was run into by train
Of Thought and dashed heels head into stream
of eloquence where his cart was broken to pieces
against the the rock of a cradle. By industry and
frugality he soon gained the shore, where he form
ed boat of the bark of prairie wolf, which he
fitted with mast made of the north pole, and two
auction sales He then sailed down the rivrr to il:
mouth, and landed upon tongue of land, where he
was seized by serious sensation and conveyed tc
a cell where he was scared by chain lightning fas
tened by athunder-bols. The jailer gave him his
liberty for Christmas present, and read him tho
