EPIGRAM ON A VERY LARGE WOMAN.
"All flesh is grass," so do the Scriptures say;
But grass, when cut and dried, is turned to hay;

God bless us! what a haycock thou wouldst make.

contracted to light the parish with it, and did it.
"Our church clock," say the editors of a down-cast paper, "_keeps time_ so
well that we _get_ a day out of every week by it."
A man in Kentucky has a horse which is so slow, that his hind legs always
get first to his journey's end.
