REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

Sinners are snivelers. There’s a heap of wisdom in being silly over children. Most people like money so much that they could revere any dog that had it The more successful a farmer is the lees credit he will give to the weather and the Lord. A pretty girl makes a fool of a man by appearing to give him a chance to make a fool of her. The noblest thing about a wife is the way she will keep on being one when she has learned better. S Religion is like medicine —some-/ thing that appeals to a man when he isn’t well and can’t have any fun. A man could let a thousand friends into a good thing without ever thinking of letting one of his own family in. When a girl who gets seasick is anxious to go out sailing with a man it’s a sign she is more anxious to get married. A man isn’t necessarily a fool at sixty, but he might as well be for all the influence he can have with men under thirty.—New York Press.
