JOSH BIIXOTGS' PHILOSOPHY. Tv mite az -well undertake to smooth down the lulls and mountains to a plane az to bring all mankind to a level. When the hed and liarte both get wrong, the harte is easier set right than the hed iz. You kant mis luv and wisdom together; like oil, luv will allwuss be on top. A liobby iz an easy thing to mount, but often a hard thing to stik to. Habits are what we learn and kant forgit. It is eazy enuff to say that we axe happy, but to prove it iz whare the difficulty lies. The chances are, !£ you let go your holt to spit on yure hands, you won't git so good a holt agin.

Modesty iz a grate ornament, but sumtimes it is more ornamental than usefull. Tliare iz no excessiv plezzure but what ends in pain, and thare iz no pain, howerver small, but what iz more than a match for enny plezzure, however grate. Genius iz just az mutch a gift from Heaven az life iz.
