Clippings from the Comics.
» ♦ We should think fish would be good singers —they are always practising their scales. ■ Poet (who has tried fifty times without success). — You returned my last poem because it was written on both sides of the paper, but this is only written on one side. Iditor — Yes, that's what's the matter with it. If you'll send us paper without any writing on it at all, we'll accept it, PROVERBIAL PHILOSOPHY. Well begun is half done, and you can generally get something on account ior it. Cut your ooat according to your cloth; but whatever you do, don't buy it ready made. Conscience makes cowards of us all. The brave man, therefore, is he who has no conscience. It is no use crying over spilt-milk. Drink your rum without it. Hunger is the best sauce; but if you have too much of it, you will soon desire a change. Books are the windows through which the soul looks; the reviewers are the mischievious little boys who throw stones at them.
