JOSH BILLING’S LATEST.
Whisbec iz a hard thing to convince, therefore i never argy with a drunken man. After a man gits to he 33 years old he kant form enny nu habits mutch, the best he ban do iz to steer hiz old ones. An enthusiast iz an individual who believes about 4 times az much az he ban prove, and prove about az much az enny body else believes.
Natur seldom makes a phool; she simply furnishes the raw materials and lets the fellow finish the job to suit himself. Young man, learn to wait : if you undertake to sett a hen before she iz reddy yu will loze your time and confuse the hen besides. When you have bored the bull’s eye, set down and keep still; folks will think then that yu cau hit it enny time you have a mind to.
I don’t rekolekt ov ever doing ennything that I was just a little ashamed ov but what somebody remembered it, and waz sure once in a while, to put we in mind of it.
