Sage Reflections.
Who is the owner of the cow, where is the
cow put out to grass, that provides the milk
of human kindness; and does the calf get the
best part of the milk, judging by the
amount of kindness one receives?
Did the horseman who “scoured the plain”
use soap?
What does this “continual feast” that a
contented mind is said to enjoy consist of?
When a man, through being pressed, eats
more dinner than he wants, may he not be
said to bo stuffed with forced—meat?
If it takes nine tailors to make a man, how
many sailors does it take to make a buoy?
Do the “roots of words” produce “flowers
of speech?”
Who can “smell a rat” the quickest, the
man who knows the most, or the man who
has the most nose?
Rackward and Forward.
When Adam introduced himself to Eve he
used three words which read the same back
ward and forward. Can you guess them?
’Tis very easy.—“ Madam, I’m Adam.”
