Marriage TO a coquette is often letters

1t IL very difficult for a poor man tew be
superior to his fortune, and more difficult
for rich one

How menny people there il whose souls
hang in them, like the pith in a goose quill.
Pick apples now, and cider make.
And in a barrel juice it,
Then get q straw without flaw,
And through the straw seduee it.
A debt is alwuz growing, if it don gro
in size, it grows in heft
If pigs squeal in the night and grass
hoppers cum Hph ov their roosts and mingIe
in free fight, you may hope for high
wind in few weeks, and also the typhus
fever in your naborhood,
When spiders are seen climbing up the
wall backwards, and frogs cough as tho they
had the hiccups, look out for rain this IL
also sure sign that children will have the
measles light.
If bees hang around their hives, and
mules are seen in a brown study, storm
ov sum kind il cooking, and syu will not1s
the market for herring IL very cadaverous,

Just before heavy sno storm, ov 3 foot
deep, chimbly swallows are uncommon
skarse, and in the moral world there il a
crate lazyness in the agytashun of the tenn
perance question
When hens lay 2 edgs a day, and men
cease tew brag, and wimmen cease to cackle
then Injun Summer draws nj, and the mil

There IL lots ov folks in the world who
covet misfortins for the luxury of grunting.

and that IL when everybody else IL happy

Love IL sed few be blind, but l kno lots
of phellows in love who kan see. twice as

If Yu want tew git a sure krop and big

In yoOth we run into difikultys, in old
age diffikultys run into u.s.
When roosters are observed before day
lite in the morning soreing among the

look out for sum sudden weather and a

When va see Is geese walking iDiun file
