But, so long as there are principles

Every ticket stands for something.
The republican and democratic

Be Careful What YOu Say.


In speaking of persons faults.
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with homes Of
glass
Should never throw stone.
But talk of those who sin,
Ills better you commence at home
And from that point begin. =
You have no right to Judge a man
Until he's fairly tried.
Should you not like his company
You know this world is widel
Some may have faults, and who has
not?
The old as well as young;
Perhaps you may for aught we
Have fifty TO their, one.
I'll tell you of a better plan,
And find it works full well,
To try your own defects to cure
Before of others, tell.
And though / sometimes hope to be
No worse than some know.
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of my neighbors go.
Then let us all when we commence
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think Of the harm one word may do
To those who little know.
Remember, curses some times, like i
Our chickens "rooSt at home;"
4 Don't speak of others faults until
We have none OF our own.

But he saved his life as matter Of
course
An he gave his own in its place;
So Lubik lives an Joe is dead
They said that his heart was weak
But he went the route for his fellow
man
And he hadn't no yellow streak.
Well, Joe was insured, but it come to
light
That the company wouldn't pay,
An Joe's friends sued for the sake Of
the kids
An. the wife that was far away;
But the company said in legal form
When the doin's in court began,
That Joe he took a needless risk"
In savin' his teller man.
Now I don't, konw much about law an
