several gentlemen who have recently canvassed our
State in the late elections, and not OF them has
heard Of Mr.. Donaldson.
Enclosed send you several editorials from newspa-

satisfactory conclusions TO the importance which

Trying to make an auger-hole," was
the reply, without raising his eyes.
Precisely the business of at least two
thirds of the world-naking auger-holes
with gimlet.
Here is young A., who has just escaped
from the Clerks desk behind the counter.
He spor1s moustache, his imperial. carries
rattan, drinks champagne, talks big
abont the profits of banking or shaving
notes. He thinks he is really great man;
but everybody around him sees that he is
only making auger-holes with girnlet."
Miss c. IS nice, pretty girl, and might
be very useful too, for she has intelligence
but she must be the ton-goes to plays,
lounges on sofas. keeps her bed I'll near
noon, imagnes that she Is belle, disdains
labor, forgets, or tries 10; that her father was
mechanic-and all for WHAT Why, she
is trying to work herselfin the belief that
an auger-hele can be made with ginnlet,
