## INTEREST TABLE.

A simple rule for computing interest at any given per cent. for any length of time :—

Multiply the principal (amount of money at interest) by the time reduced to days—then divide this product by the quotient obtained by dividing 360 (the number of days in the interest year) by the per cent. of interest, and the quotient thus obtained will be the required interest.

## PROVERBS.

Affectation is at best a deformity.

A gift long waited for is sold, not given.

All are not saints who go to church.

A knave discovered is the greatest fool.

Ask thy purse what thou should'st buy.

Be slow in choosing a friend, but slower in changing him.

Before you attempt anything consider what you can perform.

By reading we enrich the mind, by conversation we polish it.

Consideration is due to all things.

If you would teach secrecy to others begin with yourself.

In order to judge of another's feelings, remember your own.

Let your anger set with the sun but not rise with it.

None have less praise than those who hunt most after it.

Past years and past pleasures are like water poured through a sieve.

Pride in beauty is like a flaw in a diamond.

Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy.

Rage robs a man of his reason and makes him a laughing stock.

Utter not as true. that which you cannot vouch for.
