  1. (continued from previous page)
    No 49. Too much of one thing is good for nothing
    No 50 Twice cold is troublesome.
    No 51 Better be small and purty than big and awkward
    No 52 After a storm there comes a calm
    No 53 Never judge the book by the cover
    No 54 Anything that's worth doing at all is worth doing well.
    No 55 Honesty is the best policy
    No 56 Its far away what God send's
    No 57 Marry in haste and you'll repent in your leisure
    No 58 The more hurry the less speed.
    No 59 Needles and pins, needles and pins when a man marries his trouble begins.
    No 60 God's help is nearer than the door.
    No 61 A scabby head is easy bled
    No 62 Then that gives all gives none at all
    No 63 It alway's on the scabby head the stone will fall
    No 64 The darkest cloud has a golden line
    No 65 Make yourself all honey and the flies will eat you.
    No 66 Two is company three is thrumpery
