The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way sometimes himself.
A drugsrist has this cheerful invitation in his shop-window ;—'Come in, and get twelve emetics for one shilling."' The man who Jives on hope (says Josh Billings) must pick the bones ov disappointment. This setting down and waiting for something to turn up, iz just az rich a speculation as going out into a four-hundred-acre lot, setting down on a sharp stone, with a pail between your knees and waiting for a cow to back up and be milked.
