German Proverbs.

One has only to die to be praised. Handsome apples are sometimes sour. Little and often makes a heap in time. It is easier to blame than to do better. It is not enough to arm; you must hit. Would you be strong, conquer yourself. To change and to be better are two different things. Everybody knows good counsel except him that hath need of it. Better free in a foreign land than a slave at home. Better go to bed supperless than run in debt. There is no good in preaching to the. hnngry. Charity gives itself rich, but covetousness hoards itself poor. Speak littie, speak truth; spend little, pay cash. A new way of suicide is reported in the Caucasus A Russian pea-aut poured kerosene over himself, then lit a match and set himsejf oil fire—he blazed like ft torch.
