ESSAY ON THE HORNET.
R,- ".Insh Billings ..


 The hornet is an unSoshall kuSs, he iz more naughty than he is proud. he is a thorough bred bug. but his breed ing and refinement has made him like sum other folks I know ov. dissatisfied with himself and every boddy else. too much good breeding ackts this way sometimes.
 Hornets are long -lived-I kant state iist how long their lives are. but know from instinkt and observashen that enny krittur. be he bug or be he devil. who is mad all the time and stIngs every good chance he kan git, generally outlives all his nabers
 The only good way tew git at the exact fieing weight of the hornet is tew tutch him. lte him hit you once with his javaln. and you will be will ling to testify in court that somebody run d One-tinned pitchfork into yer; and as for grit, will state for the in formashun of those who haven had a chance tew lay in the vermin wisdum a. freely az I hay. that once single hornet who feels well will brake up a large camp-meeting.
