MATILDA'S MORALISINGS.

Matrimony is cheaper than courtship; and that's why men get married. Love makes the world go round, and stops a man going straight. A bird in the oven is worth two in the hand. A well-dressed man seldom means a prosperous tailor. When wc find we can't, we say we don't want to.

It's not being allowed to that makes us want to do things.

Only the poor are troubled by their consciences. That's why they're poor. A man with plenty of friends can always borrow money, but if he does, he •oon won't have plenty of friends.
