Surely Is King of Letters.

What letter of the alphabet outshines all the rest, and reigns king over all the others? It came first with God, and It will end In all things. It Is in what Is most valuable to men—gold and gems that glitter—and you will find It even In the middle of a fight and In the gambler’s den. And it even stoops to conquer In the «iost inferior objects, In the goat, while he kicks up his heels and horns, and in the hog—in fact, in all pigs It is in our faithful friend, the dog, while at our feet we find it in the green grass; and how could we build a house except for the ground where it begins? Just see how it sticks to us <n gum like glue, and ih the middle of the night, be it never so dark, it can be made to shine. While it commences in the most great, grand and glorious things of earth, It ends in the most gruesome of all, the grave. You will find it in the best and In the worst, even In garbage. In what is it more glorious tnan in our flag that waves, then droops over the grave of the soldier? And then this wonderful letter Immediately arises and perches itself right in the center of our great and glorious American eagle. Who can dispute that the letter “G” is the king of letters?
