the wool over his eyns-A wolf in
shesp's clothing-As innocent as a
lamb-Root hog or die You can't make
silk purse out of sow's ear-Casting
pearls before swine," etc.
Oats, hay and straw make one think
of ''Straws show how the wind blows
men clutch at straws-
Hunting needle in hay stack--Make
hay while the sun shines-Hey's for
horses, straws for cows-He feels his
oats-Good as wheat The last straw
breaks the camel's back-Acknowledge
the corn" etc.
Money was as important an article
to our grandpops as it is now, and
economy was preached for all it was
worth.
Penny wise and pound foolish
Save at the spigot and lose at the bung
care of the pence, the pounds
will take care of thelnselves-E Easy
come, easy goa fool and his money
soon part-In time of prosperity pre-
pare for adversity Lay up something
for a rainy day-You can't eat your
cake and have it, too-Those who
dance must pay the piper-Don't buy
what you don't want because it is
cheap-It is good to keep nest egg
All is not gold that glitters-Money
burns hole in the pocket-Pay 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-Waste not, want not
Willful waste makes woeful want"
etc.
These are web worthy of second
perusal and much thought.
Birds must have been plenty in our
grandfather's days, for birds of a
feather flock together-Fine feathe RS
make fine birds-As proud as pea
cock-As wise as an owl-As plump as
partridgeAs mad as wet hen-As
gay as a lark--A bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush-Birds that can
sing but won't must be made to sing
No birds in last years nest-'Tis a
vile bird that fouls his own nest Ours.
es like chickens come home to roost--
Don't count your chickens before they
are hatched-Each crow thinks its
young are the Hight 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 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 tn emselves
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 fre-No fool
like an old fool-Listeners never hear
any good of themselves-Evil he who
evil thinks-Never too old to learn
Never too late to mend-Man proposes,
God disposes."
thine" was equally valuable, even
without steam and electricity.
''Take time by the forelock-Time
and tide on no man wait-Procrastina
tion is the thief Of time-Better late
than never--No time like the present
well begun is half done
Strike while the iron is hot-Be quick
as lightning but never in 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 best policy-Be vir.
tuous and you will be happy virtue is
its own reward-Good wine needs no
bush Evil communications corrupt
good manners-One rotton apple will
spoil 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 Think thrice before
speaking-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 consoled by:
There's a 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 to it-An things
come to him who waits"
And now, with "love" to all, we
mention: Love laughs at locksmiths-
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 lover"
Sit down some quiet time and put on
paper all the old saws you can think Of
One calls to mind another, and you will
find new game of employment for
the long winter evenings tocome. So,
with "alps well that ends WE'LL" we
hope you will try this new amusement.
