THE GENTLE CYNIC.

A bad man sometimes delivers' the goods. A soft answer may turn away wrath, but a soft snap is surer. Blood will tell, but some people’s blood is not very communicative. Things really only come our way when we make up our minds to go after them. Many a woman has shed enough tears to float a more worthy ambition. Many a man has stubbed hlB toe over hiß own ambfffon. Wit is the wine of intellect which ill-nature turns into vinegar. The more a man goes around the less he is apt to develop Into a crank. Manners are like headaches. Some are natural and some are acquired. Looking for a needle in a haystack is a needleless waste of time. * Fishing for compliments seldom lands a husband. A man sometimes confesses a weakness only to conceal a greater one. Love is a curious thing. Many a girl who likes spring lamb marries a black sheep. The world Is made up of equal parts of people who have money and don’t" kdow how to enjoy It and people who haven’t any and do.
