-■■•' : CLERGYMAN'S MAGAZINE. ..' .:_.; The wolf asked -the goat 'tb'dihtfer bufc the goat declined; lAVfbx sleeps, but counts ■:. hens in his dreams. The wolf changes his hair every year, bufc, remains a wolf. Dog, why do you bark? .To frighten; the wolves away. -Dog, --why do you keep your tail between youi. legs? I amafraid of the wolf. .

Bread and salt; humble even a robber. A full stomach is deaf to instruction. If you hunt two hares you will catch neither. God is not 1 in haste, but His aim is sure.

Lies march on rotten legs ; who lies will steal When you walk, pray once ; when you go to jsea, twice ; when you go to be marned, |fchree times. ;— • *^-'i
