The Humble Philosopher
We all like our relatives when we are little. Flattery won't hurt you if you don't swallow it. It's no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be. Live so you kin go t th' theatre without makin' your grocer mad. It gays t' be honest, but it doesn't pay t' suit some iellers. You kin alius bet a storekeeper with a bell 011 his door don't advertise. Nobody works as hard for his money as the feller that marries Ever' once in a while some l'eller without a single bad /habit gits caught.
