Stub Ends of Thought.

Before a man has begun to think
a woman has begun to talk.
1t is almost as difficult to stay
there as it is to get there.
If family has no skeleton gos-
sip will give it one.
A woman with pretty teeth finds
many things in this vale of tears to
laugh at.
A good deed is better than gold
but not nearly so negotiable.
A man will get fat quicker on
paid-for board.
A bath is often times a great
moralizer.
Occasional defeat has a tonic
effect.
Love is material pantheism.

Remember, my boy, the good
things in the world are always the
cheapest. Spring water costs less
than whiskey; a box of cigars will
buy two or three Bibles; state
election costs more than revival of
religion; you can sleep in church
every Sabbath morning for nothing,
but nap in Pullman car costs 81
every time; the circus takes 30 cents,
the theatre 81, but the missionary
box is granted for penny; the race
horse scoops in 81, 900 the first day,
