(To Kure Bed Bugs.)

Bile the bed bugs tew a gravy; then take equal parts ov sassyfrass rutes and mingle with the gravy; then find a hoel in the ground that aint occupied; then pour the gravy into the hoel; then fasten up the hoel with 2 pounds ov gunpowder; then tutch off the hoel with a 10 foot poel; then run like litening. If this don’t kure the bed bugs, and the hoel too, they hav both got it the natral way, and kan’t be healed.


Q.–What iz the surest gait on the road?
A.–A toll-gate.

Sim Blodget waz an awful brag,
Alwus telling sumthing or nuther,—
“Square Brown and he kept 60 cows!”
The square kept 59, and Sim the tuther.
