THE MEDDO MOLE.

The meddo molejiz either a small rat, or a big mouse, I don't kno which_ They have some soft, silken fur, and dig in the ground for a living. They lean bore a hole in the ground faster than a 2 inch augur kan, and kan travel klear akrost a 10 aker lot in one night, and never come once to the surface. They don't hay enny eyes, but see witu their ears, and kan see more without seeing anything than any rat in Amerika. How a meddo mole kan see with ears iz one ov natur's misterys, and'.natur loves misterys, it is the mistervs of natur that makes mankind respektful. If natur showed all the kards she held in her hands, ennybody would think they could beat her. But natur makes us guess at about one-half we kno- and then laffs at us in her Bleeve bekause we don't get it right. I don't kno whether meddo moles are an accredited artikle of diet or not, i never have seen their names registered on enny bill ov fare in our grate hotels spelt in English, but there is so much meat fixings with French and Dutch names on the bills that they may be thar. I don't kno how meddo moles are spelt in Dutch. A. meddo mole mite eat fust rate in Dutch, and be cussed common vittlea ill English. — Josh Billings.
