Excerpt from Sam Slick's Wise Saws and Modern Instances, or What He Said, Did, or Invented, Vol. 1 of 2 The worst of it is, it is hard to remember it long; for the mind is like a slate - one thing gets rub'd out for another. The only way is to enter it down at the foot Of the day's work; so I guess I'll keep a journal, and send it to you. It would make a new book for you, such as Wise Saws and Modern Instances, or Sam Slick in Sarch Of a Wife, or some such name.
