FRIENDS-NEW AND OLD
<Make new friends, but keep the old;
'Ilhiose a;re silver, these g1old.
New-made friends, likie new-made
wine,

Ag,z, will mellow and nefine;
Friendships tha t have stooc!J the t est,
'rime and c:Jl!anges, are surely best.
Brow may hair turn gray,
F.r iendship never owns decay;
E'or 'mid old friends kind <and true,
\Ve once mor e our youth r enew.
But alas! old friends mus't die;
New friends must their place supply,
Then cherish friendship in your
breast,
New is .good- but old is best.
Make new fri<e>nds, ])ut kie21p the old;
Those ane silve.r, these are gold.

A remedy tried witJh great success
is the following: Gr a.b a handful of
