How strange itaiz that man, made ov

The cockroach il born on the fust NV
Ma and the fnst nv November, semmi-
annually, and is reddy for use 10 fifteen
days frum date.
Tha are born fruu an egg-fore
frum each egg, AMI consequently rhs

sieh thing in the annals NV natur as a
single cockroach.
Theamaternal bug don't set upon the
egg as the gase9 doth, but leves them
lie around very luse, like unto q pint

Naturalists har also declared that the

is an important fakt, and OF to be intro

To realize the meekness nv these un-,
complaining little fellows, let the flo
sophie mind just for one moment COM
pair them oshe pesky fee, whu lights
upon man in hiz strength and woman
IN her weakness like red hot shot; or to,
the warbling musketo, wild fpm Nu-
jersey cot-faii marsh, with his dagger in

E7ry man has rite TO pick his pla-
mates, but az for me, bad rather visit
knee deep among cockroaches than to
hear the dying embers of a -muskeet-
cr's song in the room jineing, or to
know that there wuz just one bed bngg
left 10 the world, and be was waiting
for mi kandel to go out and for me to

In conclusion, to show that amt,
f,oling, I would be willing, if I had
them, to swap ten fast class fees any
time for small sized cockroach, and if
the fellow complained that / had shaved
him in the trade, I wud immejctly re-
turn the cockroach and sw-re that we
