STRAY CHILDREN.
Thare iz this diffrence at least, between wit and humor, wit makes yu think, humor makes you laff.
I luv praze, but despise flattery.
I wouldn’t giv a shilling a pound for religion that yu kant take ennywhere out into the world with yu, even tew a hoss race, if yu hav a mind tew, without losing it.
Tew do nothing, and tew be ov no use tew ennyboddy, iz the privilege ov wild beasts.
The best way tew convince a phool he iz wrong, iz tew let him hav hiz own way.
The very thing that most men think they have got the most ov, they hav got the least ov, and that iz judgement.
A man iz vain just in proportion tew hiz pholly, and wize, just in proportion tew hiz humility.
A vain man, flushed with success, spreads himself like a peakock, in a fair day, but when hiz hour ov trial cums, like a peakock, in a wet day, he folds hiz spread, “and steals silently away.”
When vice leaves an old man, it iz no ways certain that virtew takes the place ov it, for sin sumtimes quits us bekause it haz nothing to feed on.
