HIT OR MISS.

"Thou canst not hit it, hit it, hit it,
Thou canst not hit it, my good man."


  1. Pain is wearisome;
    No pain is eagerly wished for.
  2. No bald person needs a hair-brush;
    No lizards have hair.
  3. All thoughtless people do mischief;
    No thoughtful person forgets a promise.
  4. I do not like John;
    Some of my friends like John.
  5. No potatoes are pine-apples;
    All pine-apples are nice.
  6. No pins are ambitious;
    No needles are pins.
  7. All my friends have colds;
    No one can sing who has a cold.
  8. All these dishes are well-cooked;
    Some dishes are unwholesome if not well-cooked.
