ouAKER REFLECTIoNs

IFrom the Philadelphia Reeord.1
Mans aim should be to be amiable.
A drum is never a delusion, although
it may be a snare
Charity covers a multitude of sins
that don't deserve it.
A man only has his hair cut when he
doesn't want it any longer
The wise girl never distributes too
many latch-keys to her heart
The fellow who can't stand prosper
ity seldom takes a tumble to himself.
The nearest thing we have to per-
petual motion is a bit Of juicy scandal
An artistic temperament and a bank
account are seldom on speaking terms
with each other
The man who attends strictly to his
own business soon gets the reputation
of being eccentric
Actions don't speak louder than words
in the case of the fellow who shoots off
his mouth.
