Jest ~ soon az green peas cum.
Lam and green peas are good
bat not good for lam.
Lams are InnOsent as shrImps-
they won't big1t, nor slZratCn, nor
talk sassy.
They don't know mulch, only
to skip, turn summeroets on the
grass, xix up their heels, pla tag,
plague their mothers, and have
phun generally.
| luV the lam, even Inv them
after they become mutton, luv
lams ov all kinds, had rather
have one lam than 4 wolfs. This
may seem like oddness in me but
it is my sentiments emmy how.
Mary had a little lam. | wish i
had little lam, and if had a gud
deal of lam it wouldn't diskour-
age me
When lam gets thro being a
lam, they Immediately bekum a
sheep. This takes all the senti-
ment out ov them.
There amt mutch poetry in
mutton.
Sheep are muttons.
Mutton is sometimes prekariOus.
When youth and innosense Ov
any kind gets old, it lOozes most
of its lamness.
This fakt is tew we'll known to
require an affidavid.
The lam liz an artikle Ov trade
as we'll as diet-are wuth from 4
to 10 dollars, ackording to the
way things. am
1t liz strange that so mutch in
nosense as the lam liz possessed
Ov, should be for sale.
1t is jiss so with most Of all the
innosense and purity in this world
it is too often brought TO the
shambleS.
: suppose e +; had nj way, the
lam Wud top grown, Z when he
got teW be anQat eigh- weeks old;
but then cun to thine Ov it, this
wud make mIttOn awful skarse.
II would also make lamS dredful
plenty,
1t would ais inkrease woif5
mutch; for i have always nOtiSsed
since begun bizzneSs IN this
world, that just in prOpershun az
lams got numerous, VOLTS got nu-

The lam haz a short tail. Their
tails are not short bi natur, but bi
design.
During their early lamkiness,
IN an unsuspecting moment, and
quicker than Iitening, their dor.
sal elongashun liz nipt in the bud.
Not tew be mistaken in this
matter, and tew place the respon-
sibility jest where it belongs
lams' tails are cut oph by man.
This is a mean thing for a man
tew do; but man il capable Ov do
ing dredful things, jest bekause
he liz a man.
Man amt satisfied to leave en-
nything in this world as he phlndS
it.
The femail lam is the dearest
little package of innosense ana
buty known to naturaliSts.
The femail lam IL mi pride and
hope, love the hull entire con-
egashun Ov them.
The lam from childhood liz xiv
cred with a soft koatins called
wool, from which cloth liz said teW
be made, and also from which
yarn is said teW be spun.
There liz a great deal Ov yarn In
this world that haz no wool in 1t
these warns are ca ed phibs.
Phibs are not kOu idered fero-
shus.

There haZ been moe phibs in
market since the fOy nashun OI
mau than there has been truth.
Ehibs Ar often iuge1ius, some.
times quite pretty, but are alluS
danjerOus.
Phibs are sometimes a CRATE
deal more plauzfble than the
truth.
Look out for them.
Phibhers hav been known t.
bekum liars, jest as hot lemonade
drinkers, with little port wine
in it jest for effekt, have beer
known few bekum our most re
liable whisky drinkers.
