Sum pholks alwuz raize their noze up at hash.
If yu search history, with one eye, yu will find theze folks, 20, or 30
years ago, more or less, were born on hash.
I hav seen hash miself, that i had mi doubts about, but i et it, and
still liv.
I love hash as a principle, and this iz mi rule, i watch the landlady,
and if she eats it, i take the sekond plate.
This makes me very popular at all the boarding houses which I attend.
If folks would be a leetle more penurious with their hash, and not git
stubs ov tallo kandles, babys morocko shoes, and now and then a fine
tooth comb, that want more than half worn out, into their hash, hash
would stand to day, at the head of all mux food.
_Mister Bartlett._--Ov all the animals who waz brought akrost the
waters, into this country, by that grate improver ov the breed ov kattle
Noah, i consider the cow the most respektable.
A cow iz a kind ov old aunt in the family.
I dont kno ov a more honest, and salubrious sight, than a brindle cow,
that wont kik, and who gives 10 quarts ov milk that aint watered.
It iz unkommon hard to git a cow to giv milk that aint watered now daze,
thare iz a grate difference in cows about this.
It iz sed the cowcumber derives its name from the cow, but whether this
iz so, or not, i kant find out.
Probably it iz, becauze they resemble the cow so mutch.
The cowcumber cums under the hed ov gardin sass, and they gro on a
running vine, and the vine kan beat every vine running, for 100 yards,
in Amerika, after it gits started.
They are a little balky about starting.
I hav known a cowcumber vine to run 15 foot in one night besides giving
birth to 7 young cowcumbers on the way.
Kowcumbers kut up into thin slices, and rooled in peper, and psalt, and
soaked in vinegar, are good, for a sharp pain in the hebdominal region.
A cowcumber iz about the only thing that i kan remember ov now, that iz
good for nothing, after it reaches perfektshun.
_Mister Boggs._--Yure letter, informing me ov the loss ov yure dog,
reached me by yesterday's male.
I know how to commune with you, Boggs, for i hav been deprived ov a dog
once miself.
