TRITE SAYINGS FROM poor RICH.
ARD"
We find that very many of what are
termed "old sayings and the quaint
and title remarks that we so frequently
see and hear, that are so applicable to
the every day occurrences of life, origi-
mated with and were first published by
Franklin, in the several numbers of poor
Richards Almanac He says of them,
"These proverbs which contained the
wisdom of many ages and nations, l as
sembled and formed into a connected dis
course prefixed to the almanac of 1857,
as the harangue Of a wise old man to the
people attending all auction AS but
very few people can ever expect to see
them thus assembled" | make some
extracts therefrom AS showing their gen.
eral character. He appears not to have
very good opinion of lawyers and
courts, as are here shown. "Lawyers,
preachers and tom-tit's eggs ; more of
them are hatch'd than come to perfec-
ton.
"To such height tn expense of courts is
gone,
That poor men are redressed-tiN Meyre
UHdone.'
" William your case is good give me
my fee and III defend it," But alas
William is rash, the verdict goes against
him. Give me another fee and I'll mare
the court to arrest the jHdgment" The
sentence is confirmed. Further fee and
I'll bring crH IF error" But judg-
ment is again confirmed. "What shall
we do now MASTER" says William.
Why since it can't be helpt, there's no
more to be said. Pay the knave his
money, and I'm satisfied"
" A countryman between two lawyers
is like fish between two cats
" Necessity has no law. | know some
attorneys of that name'
"Don't go to the doctor with every
distemper, nor to the lawyer with every
quarrel, nor to the pot for every thirst"
Amongst others less special in their
character We find the following:
"IIe that falls in love with himself
will have no rivals
"If you'd have a servant that you like,
serve YOURSELF
When death puts out our flame, the snuff
will tell
Whether we were wax or talow, by the
SMELL
blessed is he that expects nothing,
for he shall never be disappointed.
"What is a butterfly At best, he's
but caterpillar drest."
:" Fear not death, for the sooner we die
the longer we shall be immortal.
Fear to do i'll, and you need fear
naught else,
He that can take rest is greater than
he that can take Cities
Cline linen, girls, and gold 50 bright,
Choose not to take by candle light
THE worst wheel in the cart makes
the most noise
Great takers should be cropt, for
they've no need of ears
Keep your eyes wide open before
marriage, but shut afterwards"
bad commentators spoil the best of
books"
80 God sends meat, (they say the
Devil cooks"
"lf you do what you should not, you
must hear what you would not"
" Keep thy shop, thy shop will keep
thee
Many dishes, many diseases, many
medicines, few cures.
"Where carcasses are, eagles will gather,
And where good laws are, much people
flock thituer,'
" Take this remark from Richard, poor and
lame,
Waters begun III anger ends in shame
His Hints for those who would be
RICH have ever been famous for their
simple truth. We extract few of them.
. He that sells upon credit asks a price
for what he sells equivalent to the prin-
cipal and interest of his money for the
time he is likely to be kept out of it.
Therefore he that buys upon credit pays
interest for what he buys. And he that
pays ready money might let that money
out to use SO that he that possesses any
thing he has bought pays interest for the
use of it,
Consider then when you are tempted
to buy any unnecessary household stu!
or any superfuous thing, whether you
will be willing to pay interest upon interesl
for it as long as you live, and more il
it grows worse by using"
a penny saved is two pence clear.
A pm day is goat a year. Save and
have. Every little makes a mickle.'
PAY what you owe, and you know
you own
When he says, "that creditors are a
superstitious sect, great observers of set
days and times he shows that a period
of $50 years has made no change in theil
belief or observances, Neither has there
been any change during the same time
in regard to the effects of strong drink,
for he says:
ale that for sake of drink neglects his
trade,
Aud spends each night in taverns till It's
late,
And rises when the sun is four hours high
And meier regards his starving family;
God in his mercy may do much to save him
Bnt woe to the poor wife whose lot it is te
