The Lion and the Snapping Turtle A REETCH Or A PIIIMITIVB MENAGERIE, The menagerie was in town. A rare occurrence was an exhibition of the wild beasts, lions, tigers, polar bears and icheumons, in Baltimore, at the early days of which we are writing, yet they crone occasionally, and this time were visited by old Nat Wheatley, a jolly weather-beaten boat-man, well known in Baltimore as an inveterate joker, who never let any one get to the windward of him. He was furthermore a stutterer of the first class. Nat visited the menagerie. As he en tered, the showman was stirring up the monkey, and tormenting the lion, giv ing elaborate descriptions of the various propensities and nnural peculiarities of each and all. " This, ladies and gentlemen, this, I say is the Afrikin Lion. A noble beast he is, ladies and gentlemen, is called the King of the Forest, I have often heard that he makes nothing of devour ing young creatures; of every descrip tion, when at home in the woods. Cer ting it is, that no other beast can whip him !" "111. m-mister" interrupted Wheatley d-do y-you say he ea-ant be w-whi whipped 1" I duz," said the man of lions and tigers. _ _ _ "What w-will you b-b-bet 1 c-cant fetch a critter what'll whip him 1" " I ain't a bettin' man at all. But I don't object to taking a small bet to that effect." "I'll b-bet I can fetch something, that will whip him. What s-say you to ah. hundred d-d-dollars 1" Now there were several merchants in the crowd who knew Wheatley well, and were fully convinced that if the bet was made, he was sure of winning. So he had no difficulty in finding "back ers," one of whom told him he would give him ten gallons of rum if he won. The menagerie man glanced at his lion. There lie crouched in his cage, his shag gy mane bristling, and his tail sweeping, the picture of grandeur and majesty.— The bribe was tainpting and he felt as- 4 Certing sir, certing ; I have no ob jection to old Hercules, taking a bout with any cretur you may fetch." " V-v-very w-well," said Nat, " it's a bet." The money was planked up, and the next night was designated for the terri ble conflict. The news was spread over Baltimore, and at an early hour the boxes of the spacious theatre were filled --the pit being cleared for the affray. Expectation was on tip toe, and it was with great impatience that the crowd awaited the arrival of Wheatley. He at length entered, bearing a large bag or sack on his shoulders, which, as he let it fall on the floor, was observed to contain some remarkably hard and heavy substance. The keeper looked on with indignation. a Where's your animal 1" he enqui red. " Th-th-there," said Nat, pointing with his finger at the bag. " Well, what is it 1" asked the man with increasing astonishment. " Th-th-that, I-I-ladies and gentlemen, said Nat, gesticulating like the show man, is a wh-wh-whimbamper!" "A whimhatnper V' echoed the keep er. "That's certainly a new feature in zoology and anatomy . A whimbamper! well let him out, and clear the ring, or old Hercules will make a mouthful of both of you." The keeper was excited. According. Jy Nat raised the bag, holding the aper ture downwards and out rolled a huge snapping turtle, while the cheers and laughter of the audience made the arches ring. " There he is !" snid Wheatley, as he. tilted the " whimhamper" over with both hands, and set him on his legs.— The snapper seemed unconscious of his peril. Wheatley was about leaving the ring, when the keeper swore that his lion should not disgrace himself by fighting such a pitiable foe. 6 , Very well," said Nat, if y-y-yo you ch-choose to give me the hundred dollars-" !!Butit is unfair !" cried the showman. The audience interposed and heisted upon the fight. There was no escape, and the showman reluctantly released the lion, making himself secure on the top of the cage. The majestic beast moved slowly around the ring, snuffing and lashing, while every person held his breath in suspense. Lions are beasts, and this one was not long in discovering the tur tle which lay on the floor, a huge inan imate mass. The lion soon brought his nose in close proximity to it, which the turtle not liking, popped out his head and rolled its eyes,while a sort of wheeze issued forth from his savagerous mouth. The lion jumped back, turned and made a spring at the turtle, which was now fully prepared for his reception. As the lion landed on him, the turtle fastened his terrific jaws on the liow's nostrils, rendering him powerless to do harm ; yet with activity of limb he bounded around the circle, growled, roared, and lashed himself, but the snapper hung on, seeming to enjoy the ride vastly. "G-go it whimbamper!" cried Wheat ly from the boxes. The scene was rich. The showman was no less enraged than the lion.— Drawing a pistol, he threatened Nat that if he did not take his turtle off he would shoot him. Ta-take him off yourself !" shouted Nat in reply. At this critical moment, by dint of loosing a portion of his nose, the lion shook his dangerous foe from him, and clearing the space between himself and the cage with a bound, he slunk quietly in, to chew the cud of his defeat and pain. It was a fair fight, all declaring that the "whimbamper" was the victor. The next morning he carried his turtle to market and sold him. So this valiant champion, after conquering the king of beasts, served to make a dinner for Bal timore epicures.

Hearing of the wonderful effects of the "Oxygenated Bitters," in the cure of Dyspepsia, I procured some as n last resort , have used four bottles of the medici e, and find the bad symp toms all removed, and myself once more in the enjoyment of health.

Deem Sr u:—lt gives me great pleasure to in form you that the ‘• Oxygenated Bittern," with which you furnished my wife, hae wrought a cure in her ellen. About two years since, my wife wart violently attacked with neuralgia in the face, through the chest, in the wrists and ankles. So violent was the disease, added to a general derangement of the female ey stem, that her strength was completely prostrated, her flesh wasted, and she rendered miserable indeed. I feel grateful for the restoration of her health, and in duty bound to give pallidity to the above facts, that others similarly afflicted may know where to neck for cure. Truly your friend, THOWAS KIDDER. From Hon. .;11YRON LAWRENCE, of .mass. " For some twenty years I had suffered severe ly from 'tumoral Asthma. I was compelled to sit up one-third of the night, and the rest of the time my sleep was interrupted by violent fits of coughing and great chino Ity of breathing. In all my attendance upon our courts I never went to bed in Northampton in twenty yeses but twire, end then was compelled to get op. Now I lir in bed without diffieulty, and sleep soundly. I look the " Oxygenated Bitters," according to directions. The violent symptoms immediately ahe ed , and perseverance in the see of tl a rem edy has removed all its trouble... consequen ces.
