JOSH BILLINGS’ PHILOSOPHY.
Josh Billings in bis weekly column philosophy for the Saturday Satellite? says; — A satellite iz but a little thing, but it kan hold this great world in its arms. The tuug is a little thing, but it fills the universe with trnbble. An egg is a little thing, but a krokerdile kreeps into life out of it. A penny is a very little thing, but the interest ou it from the days of Gain avid Abel would buy out the globe. A minute is a little thing, but it iz long enough to get married in, and have yure own mother-in-law. Josh iz but a little thing, but with Billings after it iz long enuf for ’tarnal flame. A red herring will keep a man dry better than an umbrella.
