A SCRIpTURAL TRAMP.-Day before yes
ter5ay q man named Samuel Haskell was
F,-,g -~,,;lt,, h. 4ba pol;oa y,,,rI 1f sloo,,;,
upon the sidewalk, and was sentenced to
twensy-fouro' confinement in the city Jail for
the offsnse. He did not take to his punish
ment happily, and as he paced his cell yes
tsrGay was heard TO s0lilOquiZe well, yes
terdGy Niger was sent up for sleeping in
raIir0 d car; short time ago several light
weights we're arrested and sent to the chain
gang for sleeping in q barn; only n
few nights since 3 couple of fellow
we brought in and sent to Jones' locker for
slesp.ug under the sidewalk, and now | am
ares ed and clucked in here for sleeping on
top OF the sidewalk. The only place that's
left for Q fellow 70 lay down is the river, and
man no sooner gets in there than he's fished
out and So. on by the Coroner. So where
shall raat be found. ] tell you, it goes to the
truth Of ths scriptur, and shows that Paul's
head was level when he said woodchucks
have holes and foxes have nests, but a man 10
California hath not wher to lay his head
without being pulled by a policeman, and
don't you forget it.
