.UrDEnInuC T
By T. Meriwether Marks,

There are some very nice people who will turn up their noses in disgust at this subject, but warrant you, the higher their noses go the greater has been their experience with these so- called beetles. There is an old, but true, song concerning the subject of this sketch. which runs:
 "The June-bug has the silvery wing,
 The lightning bug, the flame;
 The Bed-hug has no wing at ali,
 But he gets there sall the same"
 This little bug is like death: He canes alike to thepalaees of the rich and the novels of the poor; to the abode of the saint and the dwelling place of the sinner. Of course it is q disgrace for you to allow him to make his home at your home, but there is no housekeeper who isnot, at times, compelled to acknowledge (to herself, of course) that this little fel- low has called.
 What am l talking about? I keep saying he and him as though there is only one, while the truth is there are millions of them. heard drummer tell an incident concerning bed-bugs that could not believe had l not known the character of these fellows (the drummers) as being truthful and above reproach. This is the way his tale of woe ran:
 Myself and ano ther travelling gen tleman made a town one night where we met u great many drummers who had come to attend q revival meet ing going on there. There were so many that we couldn't find a room at any of the hotels. After we had concluded to sleep in the street we met q customer who kindly offered Us his warehouse and some blankets. They were thankfully received and we were soon sleeping as only the true and beautiful can sleep. Our sweet repose was cut short simulta- neously by a great number of little insects clawing, tickling, biting, kicking, hooking and putting us. The gentleman informed me that the insect was called Gimex Lectularius, or bed-bug. We formed Il plan of de fense and immediately put it into operation We cleared the blankets and our clothes, swept Il clean place on the floor, made down our bed, then drew q gallon of molases and poured around ii. We left the ecantlie burning and sat up in our molases island to watch developments. The other gentleman's name was Mir. Frogg, and as we sat there, I re- minded him Of the old game of frog i'll the middle.' In q little while the bed-bugs came by companies, legi- ments and brigades. Several of the leaders approached our Notifications md made examinations. They would put out one foot into the mo- lases, take it back and smell of 1t and taste it. Then there was confusion. Presently an old gray-headed scamp climbed upon the hung and, from the gestures he made, We judged that he was making speech. Then they all
