Unearthly Visitors.
THE FOUR QUEER COMPANIONS.

Cibber, the actor and dramatist, in
company with three friends, once made
an excursion. Cibber had false set Of
teeth; one of his friends glass eye; q
second friend cork leg; but the third
had nothing particular, except = remark,
able way OF shaking his head. They
travelled in post. coach, and while al
the first stage, after each had made merry
with his neighbours inhrmity, they agreed
that at each batting place they would all
affect the same sipgularity. When they
came to breakfast they all squinted, and
as the countrymen stood gaping round
when they alighted
"Od rot it!" cried one, show that man
squintsw
why" said a second, "here be an,
other squirting fellow ~
The third was thought to be better
squinter than the other two, and the
fourth better than all the rest. In short,
language cannot express how admirably
they all squinted- for they went one de-
gree beyond the superlative. At dinner
they appeared to have cork legs: and
their stumping about made more diver
sion than at breakfast. At tea they were
all deaf; but at supper, which was at the
Ship, at Dover, each man resumed his
character, the better to play his part in a
farce they had concerted among them.
When they were ready to go to bed, Glib
Der called out to the waiter:
"Here, you fellow! take out my teeth "
"Teeth, sirl" said the man.
SAY, teeth, sir Unscrew that wire, and
they'll all come out together"
After some hesitation, the man did as
he was ordered. Then another called
out:
"Here, you! take out my eye!'
"Lor', STRIP said the waiter, "your eye!"
"Yes, my eye! Come here, you stupid
dog! Pull up that eyelid, and 1t will
come out as easily as possible"
This done, the third cried out:
"Here, you rascal Take off my legp
This the waiter did with less reluctance,
having been before apprised that it was
cork, and also conceiving that it would
be his last job. He was, however, mis-
taken. The fourth watched his oppor-
tunity, and while the frightened waiter
was surveying with Iueful countenance
the eye, teeth and leg lying on the table,
cried out in frightened, hollow voice:
"Come here, sir--take off my head I"
Turning round, and seeing the mans
head shaking like that of mandarin
upon chimney piece, be darted out of
the room, and after stumbling headlong
down stairs, ran about the house swear
ing that the gentlemen above stairs were
certainly all devils.
