—P—Continued— Plants too often removed will not thrive. Pluck not a courtesy in the bud before it is ripe. Pleasant hours fly past. Plenty makes dainty. Policy may be virtuous as well as vicious. Poverty trieth friends. Practise makes perfect. Practise what you preach. Prate is but prate; 'tis money buys land. Prefer loss to unjust gain. , Pride feels no cold. Pride goeth before a fall. Procrastination is the thief of time. Prospect is often better than possesPut your shoulders to the wheel. —R— Rashness is no valour. Rats desert a sinking ship. Raw leather will stretch. Rebuke with soft words and hard arguments. Reproof never does a wise man harm. Revenge is sweet. Reading muKes a full man. Ready money is ready medicine. Reason binds the man. Reason governs the wise man and cudgels the tool. Rebukes ougnt not to have a grain more of salt man ot sugar. Reprove thy triend privately; commend him puolicly. Riches rule the roost. Riches well got and well used are a ' great blessing. Right mixture makes good mortar. Roo Peter to pay Paul. « Rolling stones gatner no moss. Roses have thorns. Rotten wood cannot be carved. : Self-praise is no recommendation. Set the saddle on the right horse. Short reckonings make long friends. Sink or swim. Small rains lay great dust.

Soldiers are martyrs to ambition. \ Sorrow comes unseat for. Straight trees have crooked roots. Step by step the ladder is ascended. Strike while the iron is hot. Sweep before your own door. —T— a Tailors and writers must mind the r fashion. Take the will for the deed. i Talk much and err much. Take time by the forelock. 1: Talk of camps but stay at hom’e. Tarry long brings little homte. Tell it well or say nothing. o Tell no tales out of school. That was new in last year's almanac, o That which is evil is soon learned. The abuse of riches is worse than n the want of them. The best colt needs breaking. The burnt child dreads the fire. a The cure may be worse than the disea ste. The bait hides the hook. The coin most current is flattery. The dog without teeth barks the most, o The early bird catches the worm. The empty vessel makes the greatest sound. o
