Ignorant. Very IGNORANT.

I'LL so myself, and '1ll see

the notion that til cir trade will
carry on itself, are ignorant,
very ignorant.
Such as drink and live rot

faces are SO blotchy and their
pockets SO bare, would leave
off wondering if they had two

go to a public house for happi-

We might put all their wit in
an egg she'll, or they never
would be such dupes as to hunt
after comfort where it is no
more to be found than cow in
a crows nest; but, alas! good
for-nothingS are connoa as
mice in a wheat rick.
When I see young lady with
a flower garden on her roof ami

Sensible men don't marry a
wardrobe or bonnet box; they
want woman of sense, and
women of that kind always
dress sensibly, and not gaudily.

up to be too knowing to believe
in the Bible, are shallow fel.

words and buster a great deal.

No prostrations took place here but

we were greatly in need of rain.
