Solomon remarked “that thare want ennything nu under the sun,” and it duz really seem that if a man sez ennything nu he haz got tew lie a leetle tew do it. I serpose that whi advise is such a drug in the market iz bekauze the supply alwus exceeds the demand. Dandys and blujays are alike, both worthless without their feathers. Gold seems tew be the standard of all values in this world Even virtew in a poor man, iz quoted 75 per cent belo par. Watching one’s helth all the time iz like watching the weather--a grate deal of time iz lost, and thare iz just az menny showers after all. We hear a good deal sed about the freaks ov natur, but i hav alwus noticed that when natur makes a two-legged swine, she takes a mighty sight ov pains about it. Gravity iz the homage that a phool pays to wisdum, without knowing it. A flatterer iz a common enemy. If mankind were obliged tew giv their gifts sekretly, they would look upon it az a grate hardship. He that won’t listen, kan’t learn; phools and bobalinks are poor listeners, and hav but one song. Thare iz nothing we talk so fluently about az happiness, and nothing we kno so little about. Revenge iz the prerogative ov the brutes. _Manner_ iz a grate deal more attraktive than _matter_--espeshily in a monkey. Whenever yu find a man who iz strikly honest, yu will find one who iz truly courageous. When eloquence and wisdum kontend for the superiority in a man, he haz got about az far abuv the rest ov us az he kan git. The luv ov change iz az natral in man az it iz in natur. Thare iz two kinds ov hipokrits, the bold, and the humble, and the humble ones are the wust. The grate strength ov simplicity lays in the words, _not in the ideas_. I don’t beleave thare iz ennything in this world that will add to a man’s wealth, convenience or luxury, but what he kan git, if he will only hunt enuff for it. All wimmin are bi natur flirts, but those who are the most so, have the least sense. To be thoroughly good-natured, and yet avoid being imposed upon, shows great strength ov character. Enny person who will deliberately flatter yu, will deliberately defame yu. It iz a mighty hard job tew respekt the man that we hav tew forgiv. I beleave thare iz more people in this world, honest from policy, than thare iz from principle. Very old people often are free from all appearances ov sin, bekauze they hav nothing left for either tew feed upon. Thare are people who are alwus anticipating trubble, and in this way they manage tew _enjoy_ menny sorrows that never really happen tew them. Fear ov sin haz made a grate menny more Christians than the luv ov virtew haz. I kno ov sevral kinds ov kuriosity, but thare iz one kind which prompts us tew stick our noze into things just for the purpose ov smelling. The luv ov praize never made enny man wuss, and haz made menny a man better. Thoze people who are sik and disgusted with themselfs are the ones who suffer from ennui.
