I dont take enny phoolish chances, if i waz called upon to mourn over a ded mule, i should stand in front ov him, and do mi weeping.=

J. Billings Esq.

When a man gits to going down hill, it duz seem, az tho every thing had been greased for the ockashun.

Josh Billings


Thare he struggles, and groans,
'Till he iz knockt on the hed,
And the once rapid trotter,
Lies pulseless and ded.

THE APPLE.
