Some Good Proverbs.

Borrowed clothes never fit,
Better 20 around than fall in the ditch.
Better go alone than in bad company.
BE slow to promise but quick to per
form.
Better go to bed supper less than get up
in debt.
Cut your coat according 70 the cloth.
Catch the hare before you sell his skin.
Charity begins at home, but does not end
there.
DO not RIP open old sores.
Doing nothing Is doing ill.
Diligence commands success.
Debt is the worst kind Of poverty.
Dependence Is a poor trade to follow
Deeds are fruits, words are but leaves
Doun to Others as you would have them
do to you.
Every couple is not a pair.
Everything is good in its season.
Everybodys business is nobody's bust

False friends are worse than open enc
mites
Fortune knocks once at least at every
man door
Fire and water are good servants, but
bad masters
Great barkers are not biters.
Great gain and little pain make man
weary.
Give rogue rope enough and he will
hang himself.

Mr.. Cooper, in speech before recent

commerce, said:

pressed
LIST. Fund the national debt as early as
practicable into one series, with interest al
800 per cent, principal and interest pay

I'd. Withdraw the National Bank notes,
Congress making the legal-tenders the only

Sd. Collect all incomes Of the Govern
ment IN legal-tender notes and pay all
debts, not otherwise promise, in the same
currency.
This funding of the national debt would
make it grand receptacle of the peoples
savings, and emaacipate them from the
frauds OF private corporations and the pan
les incident to the present banking system
The funding of our national debt will thus
be made bond of national union.
Nothing can be more sure than the fact
that our national debt can never be paid by
policy that enforces idleness ON millions
of the American people.
Something must be done to revive the
paralyzed trade and commerce of the coun-
