III. REMARKS.

[figure description] Page 017.[end figure description]

Tha tell me that them who hav the harte diseaze
are liable tu di at enny time, but i hav known
thousands tew reach a mean old age with it.

Fust appearances are ced tu be everything. I
dont put all mi fathe into this saying; i think
oysters and klams, for instanze, will bear looking
into.

It strains a man's philosophee the wust kind tew
laff when he gits beat.

Love aint one ov the vartues, bekauze it kant be
controlled.

Wimmin are like flowers, a little dust ov squeezing
makes them the more fragrant.

Charitee kant alwus be administered delikately.
If you want to extrikate a crab from a dilemmer,
yu hav got to take holt ov him just rite.

Men liv tu a ripe old age bi keeping green.

Dont hav enny more sekrets than yu kan keep
yureself.

“Truth is mitey and will prevail;” so iz cider
mitey, but yu hav got tew tap the barrell before it
will prevale.
