ADDITIONS.
If a man haint got well balanced he'd,
i like tew see him part hiz hair in the
middle, or appli for an inshurents agincy.
1t is a strange and lamentable fakt, that
you kant advance, nor even inaugurate,
moral movement without the aid Ov
money-yu kan run saw mill on credit
but you kant run the gospel, or an in
shurents ko., insurents Dizziness is in the
moral line
l hev alwus notised one thing, when a
man gifts in tite spot, he don't never call
on his friend the Devil to help him out.
He gineralIy gifts his out housis inshnred
and goes visitin long enough to make
his inshurents available.
When hens lay eggs day, and men
cease tew brag, and wimmin cease to
cackle, then ingin summer draws nj, and
the millennium amt fur oph. When there
ar no more suspicious fires, its got here
the millennium heZ.
