But i don't want it told around the country that i am hollering halleluger for a living, on them kind uv men who kant git mad at all.
I don't believe the Lord ever intended, if a mule kicks me on one side, that i am tew turn the other fresh side tew the mule.
I say, let a hornet light ontu yu if he wants to, and let him set thare, and chaw his cud in peace; but if he stings yu, while he is setting on yu, i say, kill the cuss.
THE ZEALOUS MAN.
The zealous man is alwus trieing tew bile, that is, if he has got enny steam on at all.
His pot never simmers, it generally biles over, and puts out the fire; he is either awl bile, or not even lukewarm.
Zeal often makes a man more ridiklus than folly duz; in fakt, zeal and folly were twins, only zeal was born a little first; he couldn't wait, ov course, till his time cum.
Zeal in religion, is the way that biggots are made, an zeal in selling the most dri goods, is the way that good liars are made.
I beleaf in zeal, but when it trys tew beat Dexter's time, then i think it wants watching as much as a mule's hind legg dus.
Zeal that trots square, and goes a measured mile in about 3 minnitts without a skip, is mi kind; i am willing to bet mi suspender buttons (and they are the last things i want tew lose) on this kind ov zeal.
