result OF the experiment acquired by

His prentice hand he tried on man.
And then he made the lassies-Oh!
Man is lazy being, and while we
feel that It's their misfortune, being u
characteristic inherited from their
first parent, we cannot sympathize
with them, but only look down from our
superior station--and pity We affirm
that mar is lazy, and the Bible will up
hold us in the statement, for we read
the story there, that tells US that God

pride, that woman was once Il part O.
