Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1876 edition. Excerpt: ...the pail izfull, and seldum misses the mark; it iz jist so with sum men's blunders. Az the flint kontains the spark, unknown tew itself, which the steel alone kan wake into life, so adversity often reveals tew us hidden gems which prosperity or negligence would forever hav hid. About one haff the pitty in this world iz not the result ov sorrow, but satisfackshun that it aint our hoss that haz had hiz leg broke. Most people when they cum tew yu for advice cum tew hav their own opinyuns strengthened, not correkted. Men seem tew me, now-a-days, tew be divided into slow Christians and wide awake sinners. Thare iz lots ov folks who are like a pump, not ov enny nsa tew themselfs, but simply a handle and suckshun for others. All happiness iz like gold quartz, thare iz four quartz ov stone to one ounce ov gold. Hope and Debt are partners in trade--Hope hunts up the customers and Debt skins them. Hunger iz a slut hound on a fresh track. Toil swets at the brow, but idleness swets all over. Dispair iz the ashes ov hope, which the wind ov tribulashun skattcrs. A man has got about done going down hill when he gits whar he brags on hiz lazyness; such a kritter is ov no more use tew himself nor others than a frozen-tew-death rooster in a barnyard. He who spends all hiz substance in charity will undoutedly git his reward here and hereafter; but hiz reward here will he the poor-house. Give a smart child a pack ov kards and a spellin book, and he will larn tew pla a good game ov hi lo jak long before h kan spell a word ov two sillables. A lie iz good for a short race, but it takes truth tew run th heats--" blood will tell." Thare iz a huge number ov souls perambulating around the world who hav biii straining for years after a camel...
