ing with all his might at piece of board before
him.

Here is young A., who has just escaped from
a clerks desk behind the counter. He sports
moustache, his imperial, carries rattan, drinks
champaign, talks big about profits of banking or
shaving notes. He thinks he is really great
man; but every body around him sees that he is
only making auger holes with gimlet.
Miss G. is nice pretty girl, and might be
very useful, too, for she has inteligence-but
she must be the ton-goes to plays, lounges OIL
sofas, keeps her bed till near noon, imagines
that she is belle, disdans labor, forgets, tries
to, that her father was a mechanic-and all for
what? why she is trying to work herself in the
belief that an auger hole can be made with
gimlet
1t may be we'll for every one who reads the
above to consider whether he is not making an
auger hole with gmlet.
