JOSH BILLING’S HUMOR.
An enthusiast iz an individual who believes about i times az much azhe kan prove, and proves about 4 times az much az ennybody else beleves. Nature seldom makes a phool, she simply furnishes the raw material, and lets the feller finish the job to suit hisself. Young men, learn to wait ; if yu under take to set a hen before she iz reddy yu •will lose your time and confuse the hen besides. When you have bored the bull's eye, set down and keap still; folks will think then that yu kan hit it enny time yu have a mind fcu. I don't rekollekt or ever doin' ennything that I was just a little ashamed ov bat what somebody remembered it, and was rare once in a while to pat me in mind ot it.
