MATILDA'S MORALISINGS.
A little rouge covers a multitude of | skins. You don't have to run very fast to run into debt. An empty preacher means an empty collecting plate. Death is the only debt collector you can't put off with promises. A little knowledge is all right if you keep it to yourself. Babies under a year old have an awful contempt for their parents. She's a lucky woman who gets enough leisure to repent in after she's married.' A real friend never laughs at our misfortunes—until we have gone home. The man who doesn't like to be lauehed at hasn't the .sense to laugh at himself. Don't judge a man by his bookshelves. He may have had a bill of sale on somebody else's. A lot of men sing patriotic songs in times of trouble just to keep their teeth from chattering. When a man gets softening of the brain, if he's, poor we put him away; if he's rich we call him eccentric.
