THE FLY.
They make their appearance amung mankind, a good deal az the wind duz, “whare it listeth.”
How they are exactly born, i haven’t been able yet tew investigate, but they are so universal at times, that i hav thought, they didn’t wait tew be born, but took the fust good chance that was offered, and cum just az they am.
They are sed tew be male and femail, but i dont think they konsider the marriage tie binding, for they look so mutch alike, that it would be a grate waste ov time, finding out wich waz who, and this would lead tew never ending fites, wich iz the rhubarb ov domestik life.
They make their annual visit about the first ov May, but don’t git tew buzzing good till the center ov August.
They stay with uz untill kold weather puts in an appearance, and then leave, a good deal az they cum, jist az they am.
Menny ov them are kut oph in the flower ov their yuth, and usefullness, but this don’t interfere with their census, for their iz another steps right into their place, and heirs their property.
Sum looze their lives bi lighting too near the rim ov a toad’s noze, and fall in, when the tud gaps, and others git badly stuck bi phooling with mollassis.
Sum visit the spiders, and are induced tew remain, and thousands find a watery grave, bi gitting drowned in milk cans.
