Old Sayings.
As poor, as a tlirirch mouse,
As tiiiii as a rail;
As fat as a poiq oise,
As rough as a gale ;
As brave as a lion,
As spry as a cat;
As bright as a sixpence,
As weak as a ra‘;
As proud as a peacock,
As sly as a fox ;
As mad as a March hare,
, As strong as an ox';
As fair as a lilly,
. A3 empty as air;
As rich its a Croesus,
As cross its a bear.
As pure as an angel,
As neat as a pin ;
As smart as a steel-tfaji;
As ugly as sin ;
As dead as a door-nail,
As white as n sheet ;
As hat as a pancake,
As red as a beet.
As round as an apple,
As black as your hat;
As brown as a berry,
As blind as a bat';
As mean as a miser,
As full as a tick ;
As plump as a partridge,
As sharp as a stick.
A3 clean as a penny.
As dark as a pall;
As hard as a millstone,
As bitter as gall;
As line as a fiddle,
As clear as a bell ;
As dry as a herring,
As deep; as a well.
As light as a feather,
As hard as a rock;
As still- as a poker,
As calm as a clock ;
As green as a gosling,
As brisk as a bee ;
And now let me stop,
Lest you weary of me,
—Husbands of scholastic
Itabits can generally put up with
a great deal around the bouse ;
but it does rile one to drop into
the kitchen and find his wife
stewing apples and utilizing his
latest volume of Appleton’s En-
cyclopaedia for a pot lid.
—Dress in schools is the sub-
ject of an article in the New
York Herald, and it concludes
with the suggestive words.
Vanity in a school begins with
the teacher.” It would seem
from this that male teachers on-
ly should be employed.
— A young lady refused to at-
tend church because her new
hat had not been sent home. “I
bate the devil and all his
works,” she said, “but I hate an
old fashioned bonnet more.”

JNO, CAMPBELL, Ag’t
He who by bis ubiz” would rise—
early and late rnuct advertise.
Your sign in the morning’paper is
fresher than the sign over vour door.
Advertising is commercial science, as
indispensable to real business as book-
keeping.
Don’t let editors monopolize public,
attention. Get yoiir jaw in once in a
while, about business.'
Don’t let your advertisement get
stale. Variety is the spice of life.
Doing business without advertising is
like winking at a pretty girl in the dark.
You may know .what you are doing,but
no one else does.
Still water stagnates. Advertisements
are the ripples that indicate the stirring
market.
The cheapest ad vertising is sometimes
the dearest. Rates are regulated by the
range of readers.
The Democrat goes round town ev-
ery morning, and out on every train
and stage. Let the news of your bus-
iness go along with it.
People read your advertisement in
the Daily Democrat while waiting for
their breakfast, or over their post pran-
dial cigar or pipe.
