First Sentence:	One of the most laughable stories of a bovine kind that has ever tickled the ribs of the only animal that laughs, is the one in which Pat Lynch describes his ride in the "natural state," on Deacon Brown's Taurus.
Last Sentence:	"Gentlemen, from that day I dropped the courting business, and never spoke to a gal since, and when my hunt is up upon this yearth, there won't be any more Lynches, and it's all owin' to Deacon Brown's brindle bull."
