EunEKA,-We have discovered it.
We have found out why flies we're ere,
ated. Never again will we allow oursel!
even to suspect that there is anything
made in vain. We learned a great aud
valuable lesson, while at church on Sunday
We have been slapping and swearing at

them. But now it'srall right. We have
discovered that they were created to keep
bald.headed sinners awake in church ;
aud faithfully they perform their mission.
