Chicago Herald Proverbs.

Gamblers do not always dine on game pie. A silk hat can’t be made to fit a hogs head. An imitator is only a monkoy in the wrong skin. Plucked geese do not sleep on feather beds. He is a poor counselor who knows nothing but law. He is indeed a master who can teach others how to learn. In life’s barometer quick rises often precede sudden falls. It takes more than one crank to turn the wheels of progress. Beware of the hunt in which men are hounded by hunger. “I WILL pay you to-morrow," is part of the bankrupt's assets. Civilization may justly claim to have perfected the boor. Some men are so sharp that they keep cutting themselves. The only sure way to conquer a bad habit is not to acquire it. Every vicious act weaken) a right judgment, and defiles the life.
