SUM NATRAL HISTORY.
The Alligator iz not a natiff ov Nu England; he iz too useless a critter tew be born thare.
He belongs down South, and resides in the same swamp that the copperhead duz.
He lives upon raw pig, and don't hesitate tew take them whole, if thare don't happen tew be a smaller one handy.
He iz also fond ov a little negro, once in a while, by way ov a fresh.
They are amphibicus, and sevral other kinds ov cuss too plenty to menshun.
What on earth they are good for, i don't seem to know, unless it iz tew watch for pigs.
