Owing to the kind welcome given our little work, we already offer to the Public a second edition, at the end of which will be found a few of the notices (those that have reached us) from the Press of Canada and the United States. i THE AUTHORS. Quebec, May, 1877. •J;i,yj^. :-^i-i-i-ii^i^(^stsKiiii^i:l^i ■/> ' / ' ! \ ' •■■■■t;, ■[ u. ax Ba\]m^i Every popular saying is a chapter from the history of a heart. A belle is generally the subject of two contrast- ing passions; the envy of women, the love of men. Envy says she is ugly, but love says she is an angel. H fi IdiMiJi^SIII^; ]i \ Papular Sayings To mitigate sorrows, we doubtless need to sell remembrance to buy forgetfulness. Who would ever have thought the possession of a good memory would prove a misfortune? Sympathy often enters by the eyes, lives in the heart, is fed by the ears, and is killed by ingra- titude. It is Cupid's well known axiom that he who loves, keeps silence. And there is also a maxim that if we imagine we can love two at the same time, three are deceived. "J « That which cannot be signed ought not to be written, » Ferrer de Couto has said, most per- tinently. namtimmmi:! Popular Sayings fv Faithfulness is a rare coin. To convert it into serviceable currency you must exchange it. Plain truth is another coin, also very rare, and there are persons who have used it so little that they are totally ignorant of its great value. Though the attributes of God are all equally adorable, we find His mercy far easier to submit to, than His justice. One of the many sweet morals of Ossorio-Bernard is Ihis : « Respect old people, for it is a dilemma of destiny, to die or to become aged. » In all languages we learn, what experience has taught all people, that a dog that barks will not bite. ■;.tfc* ■SiMIIItTSTllStnMIl Hi iO Popular Sayings In running swiflly up a hill, a certain indivi- dual fell and broke liis neck. His fa(e is a lesson. In following the promptings of ambition, loo recklessly, we often lose all. «Acta, non verba » would, if always remem- bered, do away with much useless talking. They say that Love is an electric spark, also a magnetic influence. But no doubt it is like a cur- rent of air, which, if strong, blows out a small fire, and increases a large one. j The worst conflagration may, it is said, be extinguished by water. But many tears have failed to extinguish the fire which burns in some hearts. .^ Popular Sayinys 11 The rope always breaks in the Uiinest place. Of the many who are intlilTorent to the presence of grandeur or pathos, some sleep, some laugh, and a few yawn candidly. Behold the injustice of the world, because the great grand- father once killed a cat in his village, the family has ever since been called « Cat- Jiiller 1 )) It is foolish to make a sensible person suffer for the folly of a fool. A rule for happiness': never go to bed without feeling sure you have performed at least one act of kindness during the day. Popular Sayings I i * The deafest man is he ^ho does not >vish to hear. \ With good intentions you can seldom do much wrong. Bad habits should be early forsaken, for custom becomes second nature.^ The wheel of fortune is as steady in its revolu- tions as a mill-wheel, and although Cupid may smile at the top to-day, to-morrow, in spite of his wings, he may be crushed beneath it. In the garden of the world the soul is like a flower, and the dew for this flower is hope. Hope, and your soul will always be kept fresh, 1 . Popular Sayingi 13 The garb should always be suitable to the office and rank of the wearer. Some persons study the stars to learn their destiny, and a lover studies a woman's eyes tp know his. I will read you your character, if you tell me what company you keep. It is said to be a trait of woman, to slight those who adore her, and love those who do not care for her. ...I Distrust those who flame suddenly with enthu- siasm. The hotter the frying-pan, the sooner melts the butter. M ■I n ii nn iiii 14 Popular Sayings Work is something given directly from God, and it redeems the world. M fr' Merit does much, but fortune often has a share in the bargain. Much harm would arise if all the world beHeved in the Laliii proverb ; « Audaces fortuna juvat, » IP There is no such thing as a modest highway- man ; neither does any honest fellow like to make hihiself too visible.' Notable actions are like the shadows of the ^individuals who perform them -, the greater they are, the further the shadow is cast. Popular Sayings 15 « Do not strive to hide your poverty, nor that of your family. When onco it is understood tlwt you are not ashamed of it, no one will try to make you blush over it. » So Alonso Quijano, advised his servant. A favor kindly granted, is doubled. He, whom you have once humiliated, is not likely to forget it. :]--,:;. A gem thrown away may be recovered, but the time lost in searching for it, can never be. There is no true love where there is no true esteem. 16 Popular Sayings To doubt in silence, is better than to contradict too readily. . /, "A' .> ^. I: .t Spirit is always above matter, as ether always evaporates from a material surface. To the good or the beautiful, its own value sufOces. Trust God alone, for he only is sure to be just. The worst martyrdom is loving an incompre- hensible woman. If you promise a real benefit, let your actions quickly follow your words. * / - •HM»«« ct ys lie ;t. Papular Sayings 17 Calumny hurts three persons, him who utters it, him who hears it, and him of whom it is spoken, but the last, happily, not always, or not for a long * time. If any one does or says a thing which you condemn, show /our disapproval at once, for it is better to turn pale once, than to blush twice. And if the offender is an intimate acquaintance, speak plainly, for between friends straight ac- counts are desirable. e- Of all sins men commit, none is blacker than ingratitude. ns In taking, there can be no mistake, therefore take a moral rap when necessary. T . UK W WWtfW-;.'}! tmmtmmiii 18 Popular Sayings There are women more fortunate and less constant, than some of their admirers would like * them to be. ^ - Be cautious of so called friends. If all is happi- ness around you, you will have them by hundreds, but when fortune deserts you, they will make off with the roses, leaving you only the thorns. • :,:.., I 1 An error penitently confessed can be easily ' forgiven. f 1 i Many offences are only blunders. ' j He who knows not how to make himself great, ' . ■ ■-.-,. often tries to make himself feared. ; /M ■ • Popular Sayings 19 The eyes and lips of a beloved woman, master the most independent man. To fatalism an evil is always great, and its remedy is always concealed. The eyes of a fatalist are magnifying-glasses which increase the size of every object. Jealousy is only suspicion. Beware how you mingle appearances and realities. The heart incapable of gratitude is also incap- able of loving. In the headache of a lady, or the lameness of a dog, you must not always believe. ; ij 20 Popular Sayings It is better to be a good but humble person, than a high born rascal. To avoid being a drunkard, observe the effect of intemperance in others. ' The church bells ringing from a lofty steeple, seem like the voice of God, sounding above the clamor of the world. \\\ There is a saying: « A father be to the good, and a father-in-law to the impudent, the selfish and the cruel. » But this would not be our ad- vice ; ours is — pity, pity. Do not let your mind wander in empty space. Popular Sayings 21 Those who live fast will not live long. In every house there should exist a book, wherein would be written : « In the business of others, never meddle. » Life is not altogether bad, even the strongest glare of day, is toned down every twenty-four hours, by twilight. There are three kinds of grief: one kind which can be forgotten in pleasure, another which can be banished before philosophy, and still another kind which nothing but death can assuage. Judgment, which should rule in marriage as in all things, is often warped by broken affection. gum 22 Popular Sayings It is but filtinff that the son should be brought up to the calling of the father. Always spread your sail in time to catch a fa-vor- ing bree»e. You can keep anything but a woman against her will. Often the happiness of a person depends upon his tongue. I .■!': All knowledge is profitable if we know how to use it well. Forsake the sword for wisdom. |»?MtJU«t>!iSJMj3W»S«afeE Popular Sayings 23 The list of heroes is long, but the list of unre- gistered martyrs is longer. To inspire esteem and confidence, there is no surer way than to be nicely punctual in any pro- mise. One bird in the hand, is belter than a hundred in the air. Caress a cat and she will probably daw face. your A confiding woman, when she loves a man, clings as closely to him as an ivy vine, and de- serves as firm and trust worthy a support. G "**^^»i9tteji 24 Popular Sayings Your father Avas poor, but hone:^t. Try to be richer than he, but be equally honest. llow cautious should be the man who is selecting a fellow traveller, who is to journey through life with him, and part from him only at the grave ; and who is to share all the fatigues and pleasures of the voyage, as the wife does with the husband, and the husband does with the wife. The goddess called Fortune is a whimsical queen, she is also blind, so that she neither sees what she does, knows whom she raises, nor whom she casts down. The one who strikes first has generally a better chance to str'kc Iwice. UHiiui Popular Sayings 25 Ignorance if earnest will overcome errors. Many a hope has to go to the winds to complain. ■ « Matrimony, especially amongst christians, is a noose, which, ,> said Quijote, « fastened about the neck runs the closer and fits the more un- easily, by our struggling to get loose. » ■ « Christian marriage is indeed a gordian knot, which none can untie, and being twisted with our thread of life, nothing but the scythe of death can cut it, » says Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. ',< I ■ There are many who agree with the squire, that a fat trouble is better than a lean one. ibUaiiirti fSSBffflfRKHai 26 Popular Sayings i Say no when necessary, and ay when pertinent. One word has no more letters in it than the other. To suffer for the sake of peace the heavy chain of unlucky union, may be honorable, virtuous and grand ; but is not always advisable. A place is great — as for instance Madrid — when, since childhood, have prayed in its temples men like Lope de Vega, Calderon and Cervantes ; when it has given to science many noble names, and to independence many brave martyrs. ■ ,,;:.L:, ,. Put a copper coin into vinegar and it will be- come oxodized ; put the same coin into oil, and it will become clear and brilliant. How plain the moral of this is. IMJ^t- Popular Sayings 27 A good and pleasant consort is a treasure that we ought not to rid ourselves of for a caprice. Two hearts can never be very far apart if they have once been really united by Love. Do not try to put the point of a pm between a woman's yea and nay, for they are often so close together. One word is sufficient for a wise man. There is nothing harder than to sing when in agony. Honey is not for the mouth of an ass. r-tmi^ w 28 Popular Sayings Sometimes he who sings once weeps ever after. "Weep with those who weep ; smile with those who smile, and have a heart which echoes every joy and sorrow. \ Where is the mortal, who after a sojourn of twenty-five years in this world, could say : « I saw nothing but pleasant visions » ? Believe only in large companies, when going to fight. Certain hopes are like delusive dreams, like the electric flash which attends thunder and illuminates but an instant. Popular Sayings 29 To be willing, is lo be able. Many a man who complains that he cannot keep his nose above water, would find it easier if he did not so often keep it above spirits. Fortunate is the man who always fmds at the right time, the cloth laid, and the bed made. To have a good heart and to be unable (o find another to appreciate it, is like having a ducat in a desert, where you can buy nothing with your gold. He (hat gives a broken head should also give a plaster wherewith (o mend it. 30 Popular Sayings If we could know the secret historv of heroism, (lueds would become known which arc now never dreamed of. If wo are to sing the beauty of the sky, of flowers, of love and of innocence, and of every thing grand and boauliful ; let us go to our quiet chamber, or near a limpid stream, or where we will catch the pure spray of a magnificent water- fall. An active and willing solicitor brings the doubt- ful suit to a happy issue. ' The brain and heart of some are the archives in which all of your words, looks and. movements are stored. .iil^U.t>i Uiiiviiisititm&nnirft mm Popular Sayingt 31 ' ■ fa '- Be prompt ralher to net than to complain. When you give, give ; do not lend. It is easier to reduce the rash and fool hardy to true bravery, than to imbue the coward with that virtue. Lovely women are like angels; when some men dream, it is always of angels. Retreating is not running away, though running away is sometimes called retreating. He who errs, and confesses his sin, is near reformation. xitvutiitat^jj^^ imptmmmm 32 Popular Sayings Time and disappointment are two loyal friends. Cupid, some say, is not entirely blind, but very short-sighted, and, according to good Panza, looks through odd spectacles, which make copper look like gold, a cart like a coach, and a shrimp like a lobster. Do not suffer yourself to be robbed of your treasure, and you will not have to curse the thief. The laws, some one has said, are like cobwebs, they catch only the small flies. It is easier for a prodigal to become liberal, than to become a mis^^r. Popular Sayings 33 Expedition and despatch anticipate the enemy, and victory becomes assured before the foe is prepared for defence. The sweet singer, Anton, tells us that peace of mind is not as often found in the lordly mansion, as in the retired cottage. It is better to overdo than underdo a thin". Nothing, as Lafuente-Alcanlara says, is more interesting to the philosopher and moralist, than Ihe lives, habits, passions and beliefs of what some call « the populace. » Who can put a spoke into the wheel of fortune? itffi^iriiiifffi H**-.*tf «t*r **<■« * 34 Popular Sayings Women are in the main, an indispensable acci- dent to men. It is better for a man to do a rash act, than a cowardly one. The Knight of La Mancha said : (dt is a com- mon adage, fair lady, that diligence is the mother of success. . :< The highest poetical sentiments are found in the people, and iti that part of the people who are called ignorant and uncultivated, who cannot ex- press their thoughts with as much elegance as sin- cerity ; thepeople^ finally, who in Spain, as Trueba observes, describe the mother of Jesus as « the Mother of the Beautiful Love. » Popular Sayings 35 Those persons who allow Iheir tongues to run at random, are often more fools than knaves. j There cannot be cmoke wilhout fire. The obstinate beggar will at last get a piece of bread. There are misfortunes which have a commence- ment, but which will hardly have an end. Most popular aphorisms or sayings, are a history of the people, condensed by their hearts. The Spaniards always say : ((A thing is never properly valued until it is lost forever. » iilllliSit 36 Popular Sayings To acquire a good name is difficulty but it is still more difficult to retain. The young should ac- quire ; the old should retain. The sweetest music for a 'liet conscience is the birds' notes, tuned to the key of nature, by the hand of the great musician — God I The pains of the mind often afflict the body, more than the pains of the body. -' -i He, who has not sense enough to know he is a brute, will live and die an ass. Success, either good or bad, has a terrible enemy — memory. Popular Sayings 37 Strange things may fall out in the roasting of egg. ^ ^■^ , ,- ^'> an Valor is a virtue, situated between the two extremes of cowardice and temerity. Where is the mortal, who, in traversing the vale of life, has not found sharp thorns among the roses. In the depth of the heart lie sorrows some of which are known to mortals, but many of which are only known to God. Keep your holidays peacefully, and do not throw the rope after the bucket. BfJHW 3S Popular Sayings Of your charming eyes, no complaint is made. They would perhaps like to look at me, but you do not allow them. There are some people who have done what they ought, but they owe to others what they have done. Music is not always a sign of feasting and mer- riment. } • To call a war sacred is to say that it is possible to love and hate at the same time ; to beat and caress with rage and love simultaneously. AH contrary arguments, no matter whence they come, are capricious. They are Utopian sayings, more or less clever, but Utopian still. f ItfeHfr: -itjH i r ! f ! ff j^M'mfM; Popular Sayings 39 Sow gales, and storms will arise in your path. Hell is believed to be crowded with the ungra- teful. Riches are of little avail in many of the misfor- tunes to which we are liable. Give when you can, but think of God, only of God, when you cannot give. Take heart, and let hope raise in you a noble spirit. * There can be no wickedness where sweet music is appreciated. ' * s §m¥^m'imntfr'""rmtiistxi 40 Popular Sayings He >vho in good faitli makes public a kindness received, shows his inclination to repay it at the first opportunity. When one gives to make happy, and the other receives in the same spirit, both are equally kind and generous. But when the gift is made, as is too often the case, from a bad motive, and when the recipient knows or suspects it, it would be difficult to say which of the two is the inferior. 1 Give always the preference to those conversa- tions and pastimes, which, while deverting you, will not offend others. Sunrise is the light of the living ; sunset is the light of the dead. IJjt!*?iifl?Tf?'jf?s*!f;r3"r'*''''f*i'!HKs' ^^fmmmatti ^mm mmmmm s Popular Sayings 41 The lips of a lover are often silent, leaving the eyes masters of language. In loving, the eyes have eloquent arguments. \ ' ' A woman's real opinion and advice is seldom given ; when it is, he who receives it, shows his folly if he does not follow it. If misfortune overtake you, meet it with one of these two courses of reasoning: alt was not my fault, therefore I have no cause for self-reproach,)) or «It was my fault, I must consequently endure it. » In either case accept it philosophically. - 1 ' /; This is a lime honored Spanish saying, ((An honest maid should stay quietly at home, as if one * leg were broken. » 42 Popular Sayings A hen or a woman are lost by rambling. Do not always believe in the letters or souvenirs of an absent lover. To you are the written, to others the spoken words, and some day you may have to learn the dilTerence between words and actions. Diligence is the mother of good fortune. God created man, and the world has been pleased to prefix the adjective gentle. "We do not honor the man whom the world styles gentlemany but him, who by his merit, earns the adjective. Distrust the vain, and appreciate the humble. Popular Sayings 43 If science did not already exist, we would have to invent il. y Time is apt to kill, or at least modify all the sentiments. Though ignorance may be defined as the ab- sence of intellectual light, and though Luna is the lady of darkness, no blockhead (or stupid) has ever become a lunatic. She who loves to see, loves also to be seen. After a storm comes fair weather. Poetry is the daughter of sentiment. 44 Popular Sayings Tlicfo arc few who nrc as valiant and magnani- mous as lliey pretend to be. Do not confound pride or dignity with inordinate self-esteem. Some men are wise enough to pretend they are fools. . What companion can be compared to a good book? Before you marry, Luisa, know well to whom you will be united. Whoever undertakes a long journey, if he be wise, makes it his business to find a good and agreeable companion. iiJ^8;ii#PfiiSHi^^5*#i4;ffc j:*l*wMiki^aia Popular Sayings 45 Success is like a great rock up whirh yon can only climb with great difficulty, and from vviiich it is very easy, and also very dangerous, to fall. <( He who seckcili danger, perislieth therein » so said Sancho. It is not prudent to attempt an exploit so dangerous, that we only escape from it through a miracle. Do not measure a man by inches. A small man may be a giant in fame and knowledge. Fortune sometimes directs our affairs better than we could have dared to wish. * V. Covetousness bursts the bag. I i nmmmtj 46 Popular Sayings If you wish to be just, study first your subject, and then imagine yourself in the place of your opponent. Almost every man may thank himself for his own bod luck. When two good persons meet, their souls become identified, felicity is not a dream, and individual liberty or personal independence is not necessary. it is easy to be generous, if only we remember the suffering of the avaricious. He is an honest man who pays to a maravedis, (about one seventh of a cent.) , mih TtmtuWSss Popular Sayings 47 Lovers find so long the hours when they are separated, that they often fancy that Phoebus has broken his chariot wheels. Make only the haste of « good speed ; » go gently, soft and fair, makes the longest journey. He who fears to wet his feet must not expect to catch fish. There are those whe prefer sweet lies to bitter truths. Prefer to the former, the latter. Take care not to be like the little birds, who deceived by the color of the shepherds' snare, fell into the danger they wished to avoid. 48 Popular Sayings They say that love is confusion, but seeing so many thus confused, it is to be inferred that the confusing moral consequence of this confusion must be very sweet. One day of a wise man's life is more valuable than the entire life time of a fool. Virtue is not complete if wisdom is wanting. Work always to bring profit to your mind and honor to your name. To choose in marriage, requires not only our own best judgment, but the directions and help of God. M' Popular Sayings 49 Whether good or bad, children should be loved and cherished by their parents. A child is a part of its parents, and if faulty should be treated like an ailing part of themselves. To say there is no such thing as true love or real friendship in the world, is to say that the sun does not shine, the frost does not chill, nor the earth produce sustenance. A cold face may sometimes go with a warm heart, though not often, for usually the face is a transparent covering, through which the soul is clearly seen. Those who go to pray do not feel cold, they are heated by the rays of faith and love. 50 Popular Sayings The God, who neglects not the birds of the air, nor the fish of the sea, will provide for his children. Business should never sleep with you. One man is no better than another, only in as much as he does more than another. , There are men, hints Cervantes, who think they must be masters, and that women were born only to wear the clog of obedience. It is painful for tender feet to walk in rugged paths. While the sun is shining, make your hay. :?an-H»««* ~iWBf3^' Popular Sayings Time discovers all things, and discloses the truth when least expected. Happy is he who has found one or two truthful friends or allies during a long life. Avoid vice, but pity its victims. We must not always look for bacon where we see the hooks. Remember not to forsake the frying-pan for the fire. Be brave ; one of the effects of fear is to make things look like what they are not. mjximmwm^r--i 52 Popular Sayings The most skilful gambler sometimes loses. A man need not be very charitable to give his cloak away in the summer, but in the winter the most he can do is to share it. Remember .the aphorism : « To give and keep always that which is fit requires a great deal of wisdom. » Study first, trust afterward. Many will tell in their sleep what they would not tell if awake. When ((good luck)) knocks at the door it is not wise to keep it too long waiting, for — < He who will not, when he may When he will, may then have nay. i «ik**J»!; IS d Popular Sayings m There is nothing more painful than (he pressure of saddening thoughts when you are obliged (o smile and smile. • A truly good and loving heart is a beautiful star, in the midst of ugly clouds. Talents are the best of all kinds of riches, for they can be imparted without harming them. The sharing of them doubles their value. Perfect women are angels, and of course ador- able. Of the imperfect ones there are two kinds, those who have hearts, but who would not make charming wives ; and those who are very charm- ing in some respects, but who have no hearl, no heart. < • If' '" 58 Popular Sayings You want him lo forsake you, but he nevcrwill. Those who are good, preaches our pastor, cannot forget for a moment the being they worship. • A wise man once said that absence produces forgetfuhiess. He doubtless referred lo men, for, being a wise man, he could not ignore this — that a woman's soul is like a torch which once set burn- ing is not easily extinguished. Study reforms even nature. Worse than a few troubles are many. Mean people doing their little worst to provoke trouble are seldom lacking anywhere. !«*■;■?»?!??>' ;'--*f«»!- «»)H«».u Popular Sayings 59 So slow is llic march of laziness along llio road of human existence, and so squalid, and so foehie is it, that it is soon overtaken by poverty. Do not admire mere beauty, for time will soon destroy it, but rather admire beautiful acts. A beautiful deed is within the reach of all. Some say that to live is to dream ; others say that to love is to dream, but it should be said that to love is to live. ^ . To gain a heart when your sentiments have not been abused, be affable, courteous and reason- nble. When your feelings have been cruelly and purposely wounded, forgive if you can, but keep your dignity and remember pertinently. . psijfiwif K r ; I ; 5KT«rfjas 60 Popular Sayings Because a man is of a splendid and generous disposition, those persons benefitted by him must not believe themselves less bound to feel, and prove, and show their gratitude. Mind not evil gossips and do not honor theai with the name of « Society. » Whatever sufferings you have caused, they are the same that you yourself shall suffer. Belter than a pleasant surprise or caress, are two. To say, or do that which may harm is something more than imprudence. ittUtuI ( Popular Sayings m A fanatic will never compreheiid but one phase of a subject : with him there is no possibility of a quiet controversy. Not to go to war, Santiago married, but he had so much fighting at home, that he now longs to be a soldier. Those who constantly promise and never fulfil, are like imperfect clock? ; they mark but they never strike the hour. (c Let us repeat a thing one hundred times to be heard once, » said Santo Tomas. A cat in mittens will catch few mice. *f.Tj~7n?1«Mrv T :: SSi;-;i;.';:,*;i;i;iii3U-:^:ii:j.:i';;ii;ii.is^i.-i.-,-.i.-..^4* OTfWMHMHVMnrfKTrTf'X I'sHw 62 Popular Sayings Be not always severe, nor always merciful, choose a mean between the two extremes, for that middle point is the centre of discretion. It is impossible to love two at the same time. Can one light illumine two distant rooms simul- taneously? Show yourself too kind or confer at once too many beneflls, and, if you are dealing with an insensible person, you will soon and certainly he underrated and abused. ( All things in the world have their uses ; your own faults and mistakes will doubtless harm you, but the misdoings of others, if well studied, may be your salvalion. *t»'?*^*''*»* ^*'f»i«« *<('■■ -'"«*• ■Wl&^'-- f^'rH»-ii-^j;iiif::v::.:u:sJUtt^MBttitt»!»j| Popular Sayings 63 « Dubitat Augustinus. » When you say I must see to believe, you show no failh, Httle hope and less charity. The study of the world is like any other deep study. When obliged to speak tell your whole story, but without superfluous comment. One « take it » is better than a thousand « I will give you. » Veritas vinci. — Truth will prevail over false- hood and rise to the surface, as oil rises upon water. rsm m^mmm^^'''^w^^ \rMm 64 Popular Sayings To thwart a true passion is like obstructing the road to Heaven. In studying or discussing questions look them fairly in the face. The wise man will speedily rectify an error ; but when was an ignorant one ever known to acknowledge a blunder? You may be unfortunate and still keep your dignity. It is equally possible to be poor but envied, and, seemingly, unhappy but really very happy. Ambition is vanquished by honor and peace. -Mmmtlms^mmasmsmsitnmitttumti Popular Sayings Cupid is ailracted by your glowing beauty. No wonder, the boy being blind and lightly dressed feels cold, and longs to be near the fire. The loudest talker is not always the best rea- soner. If you can save a certain sum of money, and wish to invest it well, buy good books and learn. Be not always under the dominion of your own will, for it is the vice of the ignorant and wicked, that they always presume upon their infalibility. It is far better and holier to believe than to doubt. ■$ ' m Popular Sayings Abhor all despotisms except that of the heart. No one can exactly know the sorrow of another, for no one can tell exactly where and when your boot hurts your foot. Idleness appears at first to be a friend, but soon ends by becoming a tyrant. He who has made one basket can make a hun- dred. The last monkey is the one most apt to be drowned. r Time never makes lawful what calumny invents. mm^m&^m^ ■*■■■• f!{TfWHaHyfWitittf7it:,-Tfflw« f Popular Sayings 67 For a hungry man it is hard to find too dry a crust.

The ((Operibus credere, et non verbis,)) it is sometimes wise to remember. What is the wheel work of society ? Vanity. What is the history of the world ? « Vanitas, va- nitalur et per ominia vanitas. )> 08 Popular Sayings Generosity never exists in the beggarly heart, though it often exists in the beggar's heart. By an evil tongue more persons are injuredjlhan by the greatest accident. An accident may occa- sionally injure many individuals, but an evil tongue injures constantly. Self loving is self poisoning. Beware of pride, my angel, lest you fall, for another angel fell by pride. From a beautiful pink blooming in a charming garden, the asp will extract poison, while the indus- trious bee gather hon6y. ffittft-x-^-ii s«i«pMv«a Popular Sayings 69 He strengthens himself who besides carrying his own duties and burdens takes upon himself as many of the burdens of his freinds as he can support. From such a tree, such wood, and from such wood such a chip. Never receive hypocrisy as a companion, nor allow your tongue to disguise your thoughts. Let your words always be the echoing chords to the beating of your heart. If after having received favors, you avoid grate- fulness, you are positively more with Judas than >vilh Christ. Nothing will relieve you of the stain, but to repent and prove grateful to your friend. •fSHnssiffji 70 Popular Sayings Greater than all miseries together are the miseries of the heart. Grows beautiful the rose, but soon after dies ; the strong oak is uprooted by the still stronger wind ; a little flame reduces to ashes the grandest temple.
