A H umbug. — Professor Adams, of Am- 
herst College, was a great entomologist, 
and had the largest collection of insects 
that was ever accumulated by any private 
individual in this country, since the days 
of Noah. Some wicked students thought 
to quiz the old gentleman, and, with a 
great deal of care and labour, succeeded 
in manufacturing a nondescript insect, 
by taking the body of a beetle and gluing 
to it the legs of a grasshopper, the wings 
of a butterfly, and the horns of a dragon- 
fly. With this new style of bug, they 
proceeded to the study of the Professor, 
and told him that one of their number 
had found a strange animal which they 
were unable to classify, and requested 
him to aid them in defining its position. 
The Professor put on his spectacles, and 
after examining the specimen carefully, 
said, “Well, young gentlemen, this is a 
curious bug; I am inclined to think it 
what naturalists call a ‘ Humbug ! ’ ’’ —
