Woman iz the glass ware ov kreashun. She iz luvly, and brittle, but she
haz run up everything we really enjoy in this life from 25 cents on the
dollar to par. Adam, without Eve, would hav been az stupid a game az
playing checkures alone. Thare haz been more butiful things sed in her
praze than thare haz ov enny other animate thing, and she is worthy ov
them all. She is not an angell tho, and i hope she wont never go into
the angell bizzness. Angells on earth dont pay. The only mistake that
woman haz ever made iz to think she iz a better man than Adam.
Adam iz captin, and i am reddy to admit, that he iz often a dreadphull
poor one too. Woman iz the power behind the throne, she holds all the
best playing kards in the pak, and her own good sense ought to teach her
not to be in enny hurry to play them. I hav allwus sed, and i beleaf it
still, that the time to be karfullest iz when you hav a hand phull ov
trumps.
_PRIVATE SENTIMENTS._
If i had 75 children i would be sure and learn 60 ov them to allwus shut
the door after them when they went out, and i wouldn't kare whether the
other 15 ever learnt mutch or not.

And neither seems anxious to stop,
Till they are suddenly brought to their senses,
By a vigilant, fierce looking "cop."_
