Opinions of a Pessimist.

Polish may be laid upon wood to such
a thickness as to obliterate the grain. The
same thing may happen to man.
People who honestly tell US of our faults
may mean well, but they never run ahead
of their tickets, at the polls.
The man who prides himself upon his
good looks never acquires the students
stoop.
Hard, steady, determined hammering is
a good thing, but the greatest battles of
life are won by strategy.
The philanthropist who gives to the poor
only that he may lay up treasures for him
self in Heaven, will be surprised if he ever
gets there, to see how little credit he got
for it. True charity is love for your fell
low man.-Cleveland Leader.
