Maxims for the Thonghtful.

A burnt mustache dreads the short cigar. There’s 'many a sil:» between the pulpit and the church door. A sliver in your hand is worse than two thousand in the hand of your triend. Never build castles in the heir. They * are ever liable to beoverthrown. Put a rich man on mule-back, and tlie mule will throw him just as quickly as he would a beggar. Least, said the sooner the deadlock is ended. - j*. » ’ Piety is often but knee-deep< You can’t make a pprjnpnnaie out of a two-legged calf. Bangs cover a multitude of wrinkles. Like the dog in the manger, the nose is above kissing and la always ready to enterfere with the .kissing of others. When tlie spring bonnet tomes into the house, money Hies out of the pocket-book. Oh that mine enemy had been at home during spring cleaning!

A cigarette in the mouth shows which way the money goes. Lonesome is whom handsome does. The mail who pleads his own case is uulovetl of lawyers. ‘ The man I hat saves five cents by walking gives ten cents to the shoemaker. - r Kiss and lei kiss. It is a short layiu’ that has no turn in it. . . 'The boxd-tret* tirkhrtlrA by his l>oot. The scissors has two blade*, crying steal, steal. Who so diggeth a pit should be cast out of the family circle. All that blisters is not good mwlicine. A feast is good as enough. He must have a big spoon that must eat ice cream with a young lady. ~ Honest tea furnishes its own grounds. Of two women, choose the one that will have you. . 4 . _ The beauty is not so bright asehe is {tainted. ** ’ Two in a tirade seldom agree. Speech is cheap, but votes are what tell. •' A woman after. his own heart Is what pleaseth the man. Money is the pricipal thing; therefore* get money; and with all the gettings get it well invented. A soft answer turueth the stomach. The coal-hole goeth before destruction, and a banana akin before a fall. A bald head is a fly’s paradise. The race is not to the swift, but to the pool-seller.; A short-t'me note soon goes to pretest.
