THoUaHrs FROM THE TALMUD. :

THOUGHTS FROM THE TALMUD.-
The older the wise man gets the
older he grows, the fool when he
ages, becomes but an old fool. He
who studies for good purpose, to
him his study becomes a blessings;
to him who does not, it grows into
a poison. A bad wife is like hail
storm. Do not dwell too long on
your friends praises; you will end
in saying things against him. Do
much or little so that you do it for
q good purpose. Refined music is
liked by refined people; weavers do
not much care for it. Three cry
out, but get no pity, viz: He who
lends out his money without wit
ness, the henpecked husband, and
he who cannot get into one place
and does not try another. Even the
common talk of wise should be
pondered over. One goose gener-
ally follows another. Bad servants
first ask only when they have COM
mitted a blunder. The load Is laid
upon the camel according to its
strength If a word is worth a
pound, silence is worth two. A
pig is the richest animal every
thing is piece of goods to him.
Whoever does toomuch does too lit
tie. The greater man, the greater
his passions. He who presses the
hour the hour will press him, May
our future reward be Re that of
him who remains si4, t. under
false imputation. One peppercorn
is better than a hundred gourds.
A learned man whose deeds are
evil is like man who has a door
and no house. He who prays for
his neighbor will be heard first for
himself. He who marries his
daughter to an uneducated man
throws her before wild beast. He
who throws out suspicion should
at once be suspected himself. Three
keep good fellowship-strangers
slaves and ravens. A fool always
PUSHES to the fore. Do not cry out
before the calamity has actually
happened. If man says some
thing strange, beware to mock at
it wantonly. Passion is at first
like a thin reed; by and by it be-
comes like a cable Jewish Mes
senger.
