THAR liz no limit tew the vanity of this
world Each spoke in the wheel thinks
the whole strength ov The wheel depends
upon it. r......t ..
The only claim emmy man kan have up
on the world, after he has left 1t, IL for
good examples.
Thare IL Just az mulch difference be-
tween precept and example, az thare IL
between horn that blows noize, and
one that blows tune.
Sin in the soul IL like silver in the
flesh, modification iZ the natral way teW
git rid ov it.
Fortune haz but little power over those
who are not her suitors. ,-,........
Man by natur luvs sosiety, and the more
he luvs it, the more natral virtews he
possesses-the most vicious amung the
animals are those who live the most Sc
kluded.
Beware ov false friends-yure dog
wont desert yu when yure mummy iz
gone, .,s ..tJ......r. r.r.. .-..-.. .,
One reazon whi friendships are so tran
shient, is bekauze we so often mistake
companyun for a friend.
To know how to think iz one ov the
sciences. ..
Poor human natur IL too full ov its own
grievances tew hav emmy pity to spare-if
WI show a man big bile on yure arm, he
will tell yu he had one twice az big az
that on the same spot, last year. l'.
The thinking men outlive the laboring
men. ir....
The owl IL remarkable for his gravity,
and also for his stupidity. a.l-
Flattery IL like mollassis, very little
of it tastes sweet tew wise man, and q
good deal of it tastes sweet tew phool
like hornet for one thing, they al
ways attend tew their own bizzness, and
wont let emmy boldly else attend lew it.
Fools are always looking ahead tew get
Wisdum; wize men look back. ...
II IL the eazyest thing in the world tew
make blunder, and the hardest thing
tew own it.
If man il very anxious tew kultivate
a good opinyun of human natur, he mustn't
know too mulch ov 1t.
A phool liz not necessarily man With
out emmy sense, but one without the rlght
kind Ov sense. ..s.i.. .I... ...a.4
When a man gifts tew talking about
himself, he seldum fails to be eloquent,
and often reaches the sublime.
Excellence in emmy direction IL rare
even good clowns are skarse.
Love generally changes coquetry to
sense, and prudery to sillyness. TX.
It il only step from cunning teW dis
honesty, ,and it IL step that man IL liable
at emmy time tew take
Weak and qoSched are the two worst
things that ennyboddy can be charged
with.
He who il willing tew trust everybody
liz willing tew be cheated by everybody.
Whenever yu find a man, with an ex-
centricity ov emmy kind, which he brags
Bor, hot mo down " a
and charge it tew mi account.
A wise man iz never less alone than
when alone.
When a man measures out glory for
himself he alwus heaps the half-bushel.
A bile amt very sore thing after all,
espeshily when it il on sum other phel-
low. "H
Pretty much all the philosophy in this
world IL contained in the following
bracket-[gr5n and bear 1.
don't kno which haz done the most
damage in this world, lazyness or malice,
but guess lazyness has. ...
If I had A fust rate dogs would name
the best one "Doubtful" and the other
"Useless."
Rumor il like swarm Nv bees, the
more yu fte them the less yu git rid ov
them.
Virtew may konsist in never SHINING,
but the glory ov virtew konsists in re-
pentance.
Fashion makes phools ov some, sinners
ov others, and slaves ov all.
7 never bet not so much bekause am
afrade shall loze, az bekause am afrade
shall win.
A phools money il like hiz brains, very
oneaZy. ..,
Tdon't think the height ov impudence
haz ever been reached yet, altho menny
hev made good try for it. -
The reason wbi all the works ev nature
are so impressive, iz bekause they repre-
sent ideas.
The man whoze whole strength lays In
hiz money liz a weak man had rather
be able tew milk COW successfully, on
the wrong side, than to be such a man.
