"Humbugs *'of the Werld,"l confess
myself somewhat puttied in regard
to the true definition-of that word.---
To be sure,' Webster says that hum

is "To deceive; to impose on." ~W ith

A ma.n bearing the ;appearance of

with "fair. pretences" obtains s-our
confidence: • You 'find,l when he has

This , man.ia justly "called a'-"forger.,"
-or a "counterfeiter ;" ,and if arrested
.he is punished as. such ; but-''nobody
thinks of calling him : a "humbug,'"
A.respeetable:dooking man .sits

and notwithstanding-his "fair preten

calls him a "humbug." .
Two actors appear as stars at : - two
rival theatres. 3 They are equally
talented, equally pleasing. • Ono ad
vertises himself-simply as a tragedi
an, under his proper name—the other.
boasts that he is a prince, and wears'
decorations presented by all .the:po
tentates of the world, including the
"King of the Cannibal Islands." He
is correctly set claim £‘!3 a "hauling,"
while this termis ,never applied to
the other actor,. and. he gets up gift
enterprises and bogus entertainments
or pretends: to devote the proceeds of
his tragic efforts to some charitable
object, without, in Net doing so—ho
is then a humbug in the offensive
sense of that word, for he is an "inn
poster_ undevfliir'pretences."
Two physicians reside in one of our
