THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING.
Controversy.
A man who is fond of disputing, will, in time, have few friends to dispute with.
Speech.
Truth is clothed in white. But a lie comes forth with all the colours of the rainbow.
Adversity, a good Teacher.
Those bear disappointments the best, who have been the most used to them.
Example.
When a misfortune happens to a friend, look forward and endeavour to prevent the same thing from happening to yourself.
Standard of Value.
The worth of every thing is determined by the demand for it. In the deserts of Arabia, a pitcher of cold water is of more value than a mountain of gold.
Luck and Labour.
A guinea found in the street, will not do a poor man so much good as half a guinea earned by industry.
Earning the best getting.
Give a man work, and he will find money.
Early Hours.
Since the introduction of candles, luxury has increased. Our forefathers rose with the lark, and went to bed with the sun.
Indications of the State-pulse.
A jolly farmer returning home in his own waggon, after delivering a load of corn, is a more certain sign of national prosperity, than a nobleman riding in his chariot to the opera or the playhouse.
Overwise and otherwise.
A man of bright parts has generally more indiscretions to answer for than a blockhead.
