EVERGREEN QUOTATIONS

A very charming book of its kind 1» ‘Sayings That Never Grow Old," by Marshall Brown. Here are some little samples of the work: Laugh and grow fat. Laugh and be fat, sir.—Ben Jonson. Laughter, bolding both his sides — Milton. «■■■> A penny's worth of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow. And unextinguished laughter shakes the skies. —Alexander Pope. And if I laugh at a mortal thing, Tls that I may not weep. —Byron.

Every time a man laughs he takes a kink out of the chain of life. —Josh Billings. ; « I live in the crowd of jollity, not so much to enjoy company as to shun myself. —Samuel Johnson. Earth is here so kind, that just tickle her with a hoe and she laughs with a harvest.—Douglas Jerrold. •w**• Laughter is the magic lens through which we ever,see the brightest and best side of life.—Detroit Free Press. ■ The riotous tumult of a laugh is the mob-law of the. features, and propriety the magistrate who reads the riot aftt.—Holmes. Here is a motto just your fit, Laugh a little, laugh a bit, When you think you’ve trouble hit. Laugh a little bit, Look misfortune in the face, Brave the bedlam’s rude grimace; Ten to one ’twill yield its place If you have the wit and grit Just to laugh a little bit.
