Items from inside the journals...

In most of the journals I have gone through, there are newspaper clippings and other little things of interest that were saved. These are such fun to go through. I'll periodically describe the contents. 

Here is a clipping of 'wise' sayings (I've picked out the best):

A babe in arms [is] worth two armed with toy pistols. (Yes, indeed!)
The remedy of tomorrow is too late for the evil of today. (Sure, why not?)
The woman who marries for a home pays the highest market price for it. (Isn't that the truth?)
The emptiness of things here below is most keenly felt about dinner time. (Ok, I don't get it. Maybe I'm too 2013-ish)
According to an old bachelor, female suffrage is cased by a scarcity of husbands. (Pshaw...)
Is is policy for little birds in their nest to agree--otherwise they might fall out. (That sums up how I was raised in a cute little nutshell!)
The comfort derived from the various walks of life depends on the condition of the feet. (Har, har, har...)
Many a fool has sense enough to get a good wife, but hasn't sense enough to know it. (Isn't THAT the truth?)
The average young man is always ready to embrace an opportunity when it comes along in the guise of a pretty girl. (Yep.)
To an engaged couple, wedded life appears to be like sunshine--but to a married couple it looks suspiciously like moonshine at times. (Pretty sure they are NOT referring the alcoholic version of moonshine here.)
Good flannels and good soldiers never shrink from duty. (Oh, really?)

Summing it all up, there is an ad reading:
When a Laxative is needed give Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

On the back of the clipping, legal advice is provided.
A note given by a minor is void.

A note drawn on Sunday is void.
It is a fraud to conceal a fraud.
Ignorance of the law excuses no one.  (I think this should be posted on signs along with all of the speed limit signs)
Notes bear interest only when so stated.
The acts of one partner binds all the others.
The law compels no one to do impossibilities.
An agreement without consideration is void.
A personal right of action dies with the person.
Contracts made on Sunday can not be enforced.
A contract made with a minor or lunatic is void.
A receipt for money paid is not legally conclusive.

And again, we see:
When a Laxative is needed give Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
