During , the summer of 1854 I had some

Jack & Co., on their arrival at the Gaysport

It appears he was an unfortunate wanderer,
with thin dilapidated wardrobe, . who, r the
night previous, ; accidentally came upon tho
oven, and ascertaining its genial warmth, he '
crept into it, coiled himself up, and slept i as
sweetly and. soundly probably as an Kmperor
with his royal robes around , him. We can.
even imagine him congratulating himself upon
his luck, and expending bis pity on the poor
forlorn devils who had no warm core oven to
bivouac in. .... That he made a night of it, is
evident from the fact that he overs'ent himself.
.When he -woke up, , with the crackling and.
sparkling fire around him, before he was ful
ly conscious of where he was, is it not at all
improbable that he imagined himself in an
other world. Be that as it may, unlike Mon
tesuma, he did not -deem a bed of coals as
pleasant as a bed of roses, neither did he have
sufficient of the salamander in him to stand
the heat, so he lustily bawled for help, got it,
