A Trunkless Body.

An explorer, lately returned from his travels, was relating bls adventures. “I peered,” said he, “into the thicket, and there before me lay a trunkless body.” “Nonsense!” remarked an interfering critic; “who ever heard of a trunkless body?” “My friend,” replied the traveler, quietly, “the body was that of an elephant.” He then resumed his story.—.
