cOch DlLLlNOc ON N1lAfFING.-AnatOm-
ikally konsidered, latiing IL the sensashun
ov pheeling. good all over, and showing 1t
principally in one spot. r rOr
Morally considered il IL the next best
thing tew the 10 commandments.
Philosophikally considered, it beats
Herrick's pills, pills in the game.
Theoretically considered, it kan out-aigy
all the logik in existence. T. saarsl -.
Analitikally considered, emmy part oy it
is ekal tew the whole. r s,- A0
Konstitutionally considered, it il vittles
and something tew drink. F',.l

Pyroteknikally considered, it il the fire

Syllogestikally konsidered, the konkld-
shuns alwuz follows the premises. @.tl
Spontaneously considered, it is az natral
and refreshing az a spring bi the roadside.
Phosphorescently konsidered, it lights up
like a globe lantern. s..
Exudashiously considered, il haz all the
dissolving propertys ov hot whiskee
puntch.
But this liz too big talk for me these fiat
olent words waz put intu the dkshionary
for them giants in knowledge tew use who
have tew load kannon kean up tew the
muzzle with powder and ball when they 90
out tew hunt pismires.
But don't intend this essa for laifiing in
the lump, but for latiing on the half shell.
Laffing IL just as tew cum tew the sur
face az rat liz tew cum out ov hiz hole
when he wants tew.
Yu kant keep it back by swallowing en-
ny more than yu kan the hckups.
If man kant laff there liz sum mistake
made in putting him together, and if he
icont latf he wants as much keeping away
from az a bear-trap when it liz sot.
l have seen people who laflad altogether
too mutch for their own good or for emmy
body else's they laft like barrel ov nu
slider with the tap pulled out-a perfect
stream.
This IL great waste ov natural juice
L have seen other people who didn't laff
enuf tew give themselfs vent they waz
like barrel NV nu slider, too, that waz
bunged up tite, apt tew start q hoop and |
leak all away on the sly. |
There amt neither NV theze ways right
and they never ought tew be patented.
sum pholks hav got what il kalled
hoss-laff, about half way between a growl
and below, just az hoss duz when
he feels his oats, and don't exactly kno
what ails him.
Theze pholks don't enjoy laff emmy
more than the man duz his vittles who
swallows hiz pertatoze hole.
a laff tew be nourishmeut wants tew be
well chewed. .fs N
Thare is another kind ov latf which |
never did enjoy, Que loud bust. and then
everything liz az still az lager beer barrel
after it hez blowed up and slung or gall
Ions oy beer around loose.
Thare is another Iatf which nave an
aii1cd,.iit cume out nv the mouth with
nOlze like pig InahGs when ho Ia In lite
spot, one sharp squeal aud two snikkers,
and then dies in Il simper
This kind ov laff liz larnt at femail
boarding skules, and don't mean anything,
it IL nothing more shan the skin ov lati.
Genuine latin IL the vent ov the soul, the
nostrils ov the heart, and il jist az neces-
sary for helth and happiness as spring wa
ter IL for a trout.
There il one kind ov laff that i always
did Recommend it looks out NV the eye
fust with merry twinkle then it kreeps
down on its hands and knees and plays
around the mouth like a pretty moth around
the blaze ov kandle, then it steals over
into the dimples ov the cheks and rides
around in thOzc little whirlpools for
while, then it lites up the whole face like
the mello bloom on damask roze, then it
swims OF on the air with peal az klear
and az happy az a dinner bell, then 1t goes
back agin on golden tiptoze, like an angel
out for an airing, and laze down on its lit
tie bed ov violets in the heart where it cum
from.
Thare is another laff that nobody kan
Withstand it liz just az honest and noizy
az a distrikt skule let out to play, it shakes
a man up from hiz toZe tew his temples, it
bubbles and twists him like whiskee phit,
it lifts him up oph from his cheer like fea-
theirs, and let's him back agin like melted
led, it goes all thru him like pckpocket,
and finally leaves him as weke and as krazy
az tho he had bin sokeing all day in Rush
ing bath and forgot tew be took out.
This kind ov a laff belongs tew jolly good
phellows who are az helthy az Quakers,
and who are az eazy tew pleZe az Il gall who
liz going tew be married tomorrow.
In konklushion | say laT every good
chance yu kan git, but don't laff unless yu
feal like it, for there amt nothing in this
world more hearty than good honest laff,
nor nothing more hollow than one without
emmy hart in it.
When yu du laif open yure mouth wide
enuf for the noise tew Git out without
squealing, thro yure he'd bak az tho yu waz
Qoin tew be shaved, hold on tsw yure falls
hare with both hands, and then lad till
yure soul gits thoroly rested.
But shall tell yu more about these
things at some future time.
