MORAL MAXIMS.

MORAL MAXIMS.

CHOLERIC men sin in haste and repent at leisure.
Choler is a good common soldier, but a bad commander. Church work goes on slowly. Churlishness in old age must be condemned, but in youth it .is insupportable.

Civilities are for all men, and good offices for our friends. Civility is a kind of charm that attracts the love of all men. Civility is always safe, but pride creates enemies. Civilly glance at the imperfections of friends, but never rudely stare at them. Civil war is a deluge that levels alike the cottage and the palace.

Cleanliness Is the elegance of the poor. Clemency is the brightest Jewel in a crown. Close not your eyes at night till you have opened your lips in prayer.
