A
CURIOUS PERFORMANCE
ONCE
heard of a man who went to a tavern one evening and
at midnight was discovered in a pig-sty, cuddling a tea–
kettle and singing at the top of his voice,-
"They said I was a beauty once,
Why don't they _say it now'?"
And when attempts were made to raise him up, he persisted
in crying out, "Father, the Sepoys are coming! Let us repel
them."
