Some years ago, an eccentric genius,
the Rev Thomas p. Hunt, used to give
temperance lectures. One night he an
nounced that be would lecture at Easton.
Now, temperance was not in favor among
the male portion Of that burg The wo.
men, however, we're all in for the"pledge;"
and, consequently, on Hunts first night,
not man showed himself in the hall.
The benches were pretty we'll filled with
women. though, and Hunt commenced
but, instead Of temperance. he put them
through on the vanities of dress. etc
They wore great stuffed feather sleeves
then. They-the sleeves-caught it,
then their tight laciDg, and 60 on through
the whole catalogue of female follies ; not
a word about temperance, And the Ia.
dies went homo hopping mad, told their
husbands about it, and voted old Hunt
down to the lowest notch.
He had announced that be would lee.

before the time appointed they commenc.
ed to come, and when Hunt hobbled down
the aisle, the building was comfortably
well filed with men. The old fellcw
looked about, chuekled, and muttered,
"Ivs got you now - The audience
stared. AHA I've got you now"
After the crowd had got quiet little
the lecturer said
" Friends. you wanted to know what |

wild and when folks get out of meat
they catch young pig, put strap under
his body, aud hitch him to young sap.

raises a rumpus, when all the old hogs
gather round to see what's the matter.
and then they shoot them a, their leisure.
Last night hung pig up burt il a

have turned out tonight to see the fun,
