BY THE WAYSIDE.

As we grow older we unlearn many things. - ///■' A girl seldom attempts to extinguish the spark of love And one-half the world wonders why the other half lives. If misery loves company It’s up to everybody to get married. The experience you buy Is seldom up to the sample submitted. A youth who has to scratch for his living sows very few wild oats. Many a man starves today while feeding on the hopes of tomorrow. If the average man has any Virtues he feels like apologising for them. *■ ___ Only his employer ever appreciates the worth of a successful hill collector. There’s nothing like the knife of candor for severing the bonds of friendship. Too much distance between husband and wife may remit In other enchantments. Only a wise man knows how little he actually knows at that which may be known.
