SUM NATRAL HISTORY.
Thare iz no tuition so cheap and so handy az natral history.
It prevails evrywhare; the cockroach and the behomath are built out ov it, the lizard and the elephant are full ov it, it is the monkey's right bower, and the kangaroo's best jump.
The grass, the dandelion and the spinnage are its children; it is the language ov creeping things, the majesta ov the mountin, the soul ov the talking brook, and the inspiration ov the lambkin's tail.
Natral history iz dogg cheap.
To open our eyes, and think while we are looking iz aul the capital necessary for the naturalizing bizzness.
Who wouldn't be a naturalizer, when natur makes such cheap sacrifices upon aul her alters, and holds the insense under our very nozes?
This iz what ails me this morning, tew study the light-hearted grasshopper, the relentless bed-bugger, and the elastick flea.
The Bible sez, "The grasshopper is a burden," and i never knu the Bible tew say anything that warnt so.
When the grasshop begins tew liv they are verry small, but in a little while thare gits tew be plenty ov them.
