Poor Richards Proverbs.

1t is better to go to bed suppcrlcss
than rise in debt. There no compan-
ion like the penny. a full purse
makes the mouth speak. Trade is
the mother of money. The table
robs more than the thief. Think of
ease but work on. They must hunger
in frost that will not work in heat. =
Never buy what you do not want, it is
dear at any price. BE beforehand
with your business. Idlencss is the
key of beggary. Credit is like look
ing-glass, easily broken. He who
looks not before, finds himself behind.
Spend and be free, but make no waste.
A stitch in time saves nine. Prayer
and provender hinder no journey
Too much Of one thing is good for
nothing. , ,,,..
Keep thy shop, and thy shop will
keep thee they can never who spend
their time in beer houses and in gam
ing houses.
BE delighted and Industrious in
your respective occupations. Make
hay while the sun shines. Sail while
the wind blows fair. Catch time by
the forelock, for he is bald behiud.-
Lazincss brings man to poverty, but
industry keep the constable from the
door.
Mind little expenses, penney saved
is penny got, cs The provcrb says, and
many Titles make a nickle. Under

Take heed Of all vain and idle CON-
