Aphorisms from the Quarters.

Your luck ain’t always ekul to de lenk o’ your fishin’-pole. Grass don’t grow high roun’ de corncrib. De man ain’t put together right dat don’t lub his own dorg. It takes a hones’ miller to keep lean shotes. . % Don’t kill de old goose in sight o’ d« fedder-bed. De full moon is i po’ han’ to keep secrets. 'Old hen got ’nough l’arnin’ to tell hex own Chilian in de da?k. — J. A. Macon, in the Century.
