They are welcomed, not bekauze they are necessary, but bekauze they aint feared, and are soon dropt, like peanut shells, on the floor. Thare iz no radikal cure for the bizzybody, no more than thare iz for the fleas in a long-haired dogg--if yu git rid ov the fleas yu hav got the dogg left, and if yu git rid ov the dogg yu hav got the fleas left, and so, whare are you? Bizzyness and bissness are two diffrent things, altho they pronounce out loud similar. But after all i don’t want tew git shut ov the Bizzy people; they are a noosanse for a small amount, but sumboddy haz got to be a noosanse, and being aktive about nothing, and energetically lazy, iz no doubt a virtuous dodge, but iz 10 per cent better than counterfitting, or even the grand larceny bizziness. Thare iz one thing about them, they are seldum deceitful, they trade on a floating capital, and only deal in second-hand articles; they haint got the tallent to invent, they seldum lie, bekauze their bizziness don’t require it; thare iz stale truth enuff lieing around loose for their purpose. Don’t trust them only with what you want to have scattered, they will find a ready market for every thing that a prudent man would hesitate tew offer, and they always suppoze they are learned, for they mistake rumors, skandals, and gossip for wisdum. It iz a sad sight to see a whole life being swopped off for the glory of telling what good people don’t love to hear, and what viscious ones only value for the malice it contains. I should rather be the keeper ov a rat pit, or ketch kats for a shilling a head to feed an anaconda with. FASTIDIOUSNESS. Fastidiousness iz merely the ignorance ov propriety. I hav saw people who had rather die and be buried than say _bull_. They wouldn’t hesitate tew say _male cow_. If the thoughts are pure and the language iz chaste, it will do tew say almoste ennything. [Illustration: FASTIDIOUSNESS.] The young lady who, a fu years ago, refused tew walk akrost a potato field, bekauze the potatoze had eyes, ran away from home, soon afterwards, with a jewelry pedlar. Fastidiousness, az a general thing iz a holyday virtew, and i hav frequently notissed that thoze individuals who are alwus afrade they shal cum akrost sumthing hily improper, are generally looking for it. Fastidiousness and delikasy are often konfounded, but thare iz this difference--the truly delikate aint afrade tew take holt ov things that they are willing tew touch at all with their naked hands, while the fastidious are willing tew take holt ov enny thing with gloves on. Delikasy iz the coquetry ov truth; fastidiousness iz the prudery ov falsehood. LOVE. Love iz one ov the pashuns, and the most diffikult one ov all tew deskribe. I never yet hav herd love well defined. I hav read several deskripshuns ov it, but they were written by thoze who were in love, (or thought they waz), and i wouldn’t beleave such testimony, not even under oath.
