JOSH BILLINGS' PHILOSOPHY.

We don't enny of us kno mat^h, and the quicker we find it oat the more we •hall kho. This is the golden rule in the science of medicine: E*t less and exercise more. - JKr#ed« are an earthly institashnn the entrance as yfe]\ as thw road to Heaven is fairly clogged with them, I>at never a one can be found insid*. Younj? raan, what you can't/win with politeness, yu can't with logick or ft -kloh. I dispise th« politicks ov our country;; honesty, honor, and oftimes common diwency ia sacrificed to policy and brutal suckersa. ReFigion makea a reliable base, but a dangerous supfrstruokure. The m\n who haz no individuality haz no karafeter ; h<» iz lik« oil" shoe pag in a quart, he kant bn told from the rest ov thp pegs, but ouly helps to make up tho quart. The man who liaz «»ot bnt one string to hiz phid<U«», soon-plays biz tune out, and hiz listeners too. Progress wpiuS to be the ideal ov -creation, but all progress seems to end in destruction r»ther than perfekshnn. The fate of the goo'! natured man iz a hard one. Whil« he iz prosperous; everybody feeds and fattens upon him ; >mt when adversity overtakes him, he iz left to feed and fatten upon him* self.
