“Love to chawnk green apples an go swimmin in the
lake.
Hate to take the castor-ile they give for belly-ache!
Most all the time, the whole year round, there aint no flies on
me,
But jest fore Christmas Im as good as I kin be!”
—Eugene Field (18501895)
“Another success is the post-office, with its educating energy augmented by cheapness and guarded by a certain religious sentiment in mankind; so that the power of a wafer or a drop of wax or gluten to guard a letter, as it flies over sea over land and comes to its address as if a battalion of artillery brought it, I look upon as a fine meter of civilization.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
