_Tobacco-takers._--Dr. Caldwell says that there are but three animals that can abide tobacco, namely:--The African rock goat--the most loathsome creature on earth, The foul tobacco worm, And the rational creature, man! 1926 Talk less about the years to come-- Live, love and labor more to-day. --_Alice Carey._ 1927 Better be preparing for tomorrow, than regretting yesterday. 1928 To-morrow is, ah, whose? --_D. M. Mullock._ 1929 What cannot be told, had better not be done. 1930 Never hold any one by the button or the hand, in order to be heard out; for if people are unwilling to hear you, you had better hold your tongue than them. --_Chesterfield._ 1931 Though we have two eyes, we are supplied with but one tongue. Draw your own moral. --_Alphonse Karr._ 1932 If you will control the tongue, you will soon be able also to control the mind. 1933 _Tongue._--When we advance a little into life, we find that the tongue creates nearly all the mischief of the world. 1934 The tongue is the instrument of the greatest good and the greatest evil that is done in the world. 1935 Let mildness ever attend thy tongue. 1936 It is more necessary to guard the mouth than the chest. --_From the German._ 1937 It is related that a peasant once came to a monk to be taught the Scriptures. The holy man began with the Psalm, 39 chapter, 1st verse: "I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue." The peasant went his way to practice this and never returned. Lifelong was the lesson, and lifelong the endeavor to master it. 1938 The tongue's not steel, yet it often cuts. 1939 A sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use. --_Irving._ 1940 There are tourists who so busy themselves in traveling that they see nothing. 1941 He'll seldom need aid Who has a good trade. 1942 A useful trade may be said to be like a mine of gold. 1943 I see that conscience, truth, and honesty are made To rise and fall, like other wares of trade. --_Moore._ 1944 He who has a trade may travel through the world. --_From the Spanish._ 1945 INFLUENCES OF FOREIGN TRAVEL. One of the remarks which an American is expected to make on returning from a foreign tour, especially his first return, is: "Well I'm a better American for having gone abroad," meaning that foreign travel has increased his love for his own country--in other words, has toned up his patriotism. * * * * * * * *
