"You're a man of sin!" sed the Elder. Arter breakfust my little Shaker frends cum in agin to clear away the dishes. "My pretty dears," sez I, "shall we YAY agin?" "Nay," they sed, and I NAY'D.
Look at Congress but no, I'd rather not look at Congress. Entertainin this great regard for Commerce, "whose sales whiten every sea," as everybody happily observes every chance he gets, I learn with disgust and surprise that a British subjeck bo't a Barril of Apple Sass in America recently, and when he arrove home he found under a few deloosiv layers of sass nothin but sawdust.
Three times during the morning session he had raised his hand to announce stolidly to his long-suffering teacher, "I can't think of no subjeck"; and at last Miss Margaret had relaxed her Spartan resolution to make him do his own thinking and had helped him out.

"I am speakin' from this here point of view. The real joyousness of life consists of being busy. We won't take no vote on the subjeck; we'll just admit it.

If she did, you may be sure as 'twasn't till she chose." "I heard Mr Rogers say t'other day, 'Never marry a widow unless her first husband was hanged." "Pray let us change the subjeck," said Mrs Bowldler hastily. "Why? . . . What did Mr Bowldler die of?

I will remark here, while on the subjeck of Injuns, that they are in the main a very shaky set, with even less sense than the Fenians, and when I hear philanthropists bewailin the fack that every year "carries the noble red man nearer the settin sun," I simply have to say I'm glad of it, tho' it is rough on the settin sun.

If I see her pop, I 'll tell him he better put a stop to such behaviors." Tillie stirred restlessly on her pillow. "What was the subjeck of that there novel, Tillie?" the doctor asked.
