"Here, Ladies and Gentlemen, you per-ceive one of the _re_-markable and
_pe_-culiar works of a benign _Per_-rovidence. On the right you see the

asunder--gerlang with yer hosses!"
It must have been a Sunday-school Superintendent who invented excursions

One old gentleman pointed to an underground hole and advised me to go
and look at the magazine.
I went; but it is hardly necessary to say that I didn't find any, and,
on the whole, I was glad of it If people don't know any more than to
leave their _Galaxys_ and _Harper's_ lying around loose when travelling,
why, they deserve to have them stolen, that's all.
I was sorry for the old gentleman, but if there is anything that
disgusts me, it is to meet people that ain't posted about things.
