SENTENCE SERMONS.
Life is the best language.

Life is the best language.
Hope keeps the heart wholesome.
Your goods have little to do with
your good.
Cupidity easily overcomes the easy
conscience.
There are always plenty OF pilots
On pond.
Men must be lifted; they cannot be
pushed up.
A mans happiness does not depend
on his harness.
The narrow mind is not essential
to the narrow way.
AS soon as you cease to grow up
you begin to go down.
You cannot make tracks for heaven
by trampling on others.
A rattle is not made righteous by
a religious atmosphere.
My own sins are but failings; the
other mans are crimes.
Prosperity may be heavens way Of
Furnishing some people.
If you are put in place Of trial
count it mark Of trust.
There's no virtue in being patient
with the pain you do not feel.
The people who manage to live
without ever getting into hot watel
have little to do with the engines O.
life.
The man who boasts of never mine
ing matters is likely to be choppinl
up somebody's reputation pretty fine

The brock is trimmed with melting snow
The maple sap is running,
And on the highest elm a crow
His coal-black wings is summing
A close green bud the mayfiower lies
Upon II messy pillow;
And sweet and low the south wind blows.
And through the brown fields calling
goes.
Come, pussy, pussy Willow;
Within your close, brown wrapper stir,
Come out and show your silver fur;
Come, pussy. pussy willow.
Soon red will bud the maple trees.
The bluebirds will be singing
And yellow tassels in the breeze
Be from the poplars swinging;
And rosy win the mayfower be
Upon its messy pillow;
But you must come the first of all--
Come, pussy, is the south winds call
Come, pussy, pussy willow.
A fairy gift to children dear
The downy firstlings Of the year
Come, pussy, pussy willow"

BY OUR OWN OWL.


No news is good news, except to a
woman.
1t is often easier to discharge a
duty than cook.
Genius is often forced to borrow
from common sense.
It's a waste of breath to tell other
people not to waste theirs.
A woman never thinks that man
thinks she talks too much.
The great trouble with the fellow
who knows 1t all is that he doesn't.
Truth generally comes in the form
Of sorething we don't want to believe.
1t is always more humiliating TO
own up to a mistake than to make
one.
The trouble with a dead sure thing
is that 1t is generally more dead than
sure.
Some few people are so lucky as to
fall in love without hurting them
selves.
A fair exchange is no robbery, but
the difficulty is to find fair ex-
change.
Beauty is only skin deep, which is
why a pretty woman is generally SO
shallow.
II patience is virtue, and virtue
is its own reward, patience really
doesn't cut much ice.
What's the use Of keeping on the
right side of man who carries his
monf J In his left-hand pocket?
