A Striking Contrast.

By Dio Lewis

WE want to show you two animals. One has four legs. They call him a pig. We want you to see him eat. Now when that fellow gets enough, he'll stop. Let us look at another. They call this one a man; he has two legs; he is at breakfast. He looks this way and that. He can't see anything that he wants. Now he tries a mouthful of strong coffee; that won't fetch it. He tries a spoonful of catsup; that's a failure. Now he tries a mixture of mustard and vinegar. At length things begin to work a little, and he is finally able to cram a lot of griddle-cakes and sausage and sausage and griddle-cakes, and two or three cups of strong coffee, into his stomach. Which do you vote for? I vote for the gentleman with four legs.—Dio Lewis.
