Hli airaycth himself in purpole and fine linen, for lo, and
beholdl he is snugly ensconed m a "lower ccntoi" on the
famous vestihuleil flyer wheic smoke and dust are never
known.
1II piovidod himself with a hook fiom the generous binary
near at hand, adjusteth his traveling cap, ami piocecdeth
to p.ss a day of unalloyed pleasure and contentment.
AXI it came to pass being hungry and nihil st, he stop
peth into the dining cai, and by the bcaid of the
piophct, 'twns a feast fit for the gods. Venison, blue
points, llurgundy, fiogs' legs, canvas backs, Mint's' ex
tra diy, English plum pudding, fiuits, nuts, ices, Ficncli
coffee veiily the wise man a.eth fat, and while he
lighteth a cigar he tnketh time lo declare that ihe meal
was "out ol sight. "
IT ocouireth to the wise man that the country tlnoug which
he jaurneycil was one of wondious beauty, insomuch
that it was -with deep legrei he noted the nightly shad
ows fall. However, tenfold joy returned as he beheld
the iiiilliaully lighted ear, and the merry company it
contained. Veiily, it afforded a iew of Elysium.
TI3MS w-iic nnn vctireth to rr-t. Dclicio'tsly unconcerned,
he sleeps the sleep of the righteous and awakes much
iefiehed. 1 1 is train is on time, his journey ended. He
lejoiccth with exceeding gieat joy as lie holds a lotum
by the game loutc, the "liical Huilinglcn."

time he is out $9.27. He startcth wiong.
Wl'&'II inighl and main he huriieth lo the dopot, only to
find his tiain foui houis late. The peanut ioy si?eth
him up and selleth him a paper ol an unceitnin (late.
AS he jouinejeih along he foimcth a new acquaintance for
