1. The most skillful gauger I ever knew was a maligned cobbler, armed
with a poniard, who drove a peddler's wagon, using a mullein stalk as
an instrument of coercion to tyrannize over his pony shod with
calks. He was a Galilean Sadducee, and he had a phthisicky catarrh,
diphtheria, and the bilious intermittent erysipelas.
2. A certain sibyl, with the sobriquet of "Gypsy," went into ecstasies
of cachinnation at seeing him measure a bushel of peas and separate
saccharine tomatoes from a heap of peeled potatoes, without dyeing or
singeing the ignitible queue which he wore, or becoming paralyzed with
hemorrhage.
3. Lifting her eyes to the ceiling of the cupola of the capitol to
conceal her unparalleled embarrassment, making him a rough courtesy,
and not harrassing him with mystifying, rarefying, and stupefying
innuendoes, she gave him a couch, a bouquet of lilies, mignonette,
and fuchsias, a treatise on mnemonics, a copy of the Apocrypha
in hieroglyphics, daguerreotypes of Mendelssohn and Kosciusko, a
kaleidoscope, a dram-phial of ipecacuanha, a teaspoonful of naphtha
for deleble purposes, a ferrule, a clarionet, some licorice, a
surcingle, a carnelian of symmetrical proportions, a chronometer with
a movable balance-wheel, a box of dominoes, and a catechism.
