burns hole IN the pockct-I7ay to-day,
trust to-morrow-Out OF debt, out of
danger-Don't spend money before it's
earned-Who goes a-borrowing goes
a-sorrowing-Wast not want not
Willful waste makes wOeful want, ="
etc
These are well worthy OF a second
perusal and much thought.
Birds must have been plenty in our
grandfather's days, for birds of a
feather flock together-Fine feathers
make fine birds-As proud as pea
cock-As wise as an OWLS plump as
a partridge-As mad as a wet hen-As
gay as 4 larlI-A bird in the hand is
worth two n the buSh-Birds that can
sing but won't must be made to sing
No birds in last years nest-'Tis
vile bird that fouls his own nest-Curs-
es like chickens come home to roost-
Don't count your chickens before they
are hatched-Each crow thinks its
young are the whitest-Ilight flyers
You can't catch an Old bird with
chaff-The early bird catches the
worm-Every bird knows its mate
One swallow doesn't make 4 summer
All of a feather-A feather in his cap
What's sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander."
The old folks come in for a good
share of proverbs, as they ought to.
But on the whole they let themselves
off easy. You can't teach your grand
mother how to suck eggs-A man is
known by the company he keeps-Out
of the frying pan into the fire-No fool
like an old fool-Listcners never hear
any good of themselves-Evil he who
evil thin ,s-Never too old to learn
Never too late to mcmillan proposes,
God disposes-"
Time" was equally valuable, even
without steam and electricity.
Take time by the forelock-Time
and tide on no man wait-Procrastina-
ton is the thief of time-Bctter late
than ncvcr-No time like the present
What's well begun is half done
Strike while the iron is hot-Be quick
as lightning but never in n hurry
Don't put off till tomorrow what you
can do to-day-Now or never"
The virtues were ever being preached
in the good old times" and no doubt
there was abundant reason for so do
ing.
Honesty is the lest policy-Be vir-
tuous and you will be happy virtue is
it's own reward-Good wine needs no
bush-Evil communications corrupt
good manners-One rotton apple will
spoil a whole barrel full-As the twig
is bent so the tree is inclined-Con-
tentment is better than riches-Be just
before you are generous.
How often have we been warned
with: Don't jump at conclusions
Make haste slowly-Thinl thrice before
speakiug-Look before you leap-Mur-
der will out-A guilty conscience needs
no accuser-Who lives in glass houses
shouldn't throw stones"
And we have been consolel by:
There's silver lining to every cloud
It's the darkest just before the dawn
Patient waiting is no loss-Don't cross
a bridge till you come 70 it-An things
come to him who waits"
And now, with love" to all, we
mention: Love laughs at locllsmiths-
The course of true love never did run
smooth-Marry in haste and repent at
leisure-When poverty enters at the
door love flies out at the window
Faint heart never won fair lady-All
the world loves n lover"
Sit down some quiet time and put on
paper all the old sawSyou can think Of
One calls to mind another, and you VIII |
find new game of employment for
the long winter evenings to come. So. !
with 'alls well that ends we'll" we |
hope you will try this new amusement
