Two Englishmen in Ireland came upon a native whitewashing the front of his house. “Hallo, Mike!” said one. “ Why aren’t you whitewashing the /back as well as the front?” “Well,” replied Mike, “ it’s jist the same raison that you don’t put a front on the back of yer shirt!” Unchecked by life’s experience, Impulsive youth seems void of sense; But fleeting timie with sadness brings A clearer view olf many things, Wo wiser grow in winter ways, We Team the danger of delays; We learn the wisdom, too, be sure, Of taking Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. Eollingstone Nomoss: “ Dis paper says dat labor is ennobling.” Tatterdon Torn: “Bat’s all right; but I’m agin de nobility anyhow.”
