THE v1CTfmrsEp BACHELOR.


June Having just learned that my pre-
sent landlady is about TO retire from the
service, having accumulated dnring her ten
years experience as keeper of a boarding
house ample fortune, circumstance which
taking into consideration her high rates of
board and very Indifferent fare, 1 do not con-
slider at all strange-in view of all this, l
find myself under the very unaccountable ne
cessity Of seeking new quarters There Is
nothing dislike SO much going the rounds
of the lodging house keepers for such ppr-
pose In the first place. my extreme diff
dcnce, for l am a very modest man, renders
it disagreerble and 1 arr likely to take up
with poor one at last. from my inability to
say no, when the advantages of a place are
set forth by the voluble tongue of the pro-
prictor.
! jhnils, therefore, that it viii trouble,
in lel s applying to place mysrlf in the atti-
tude of the one applied 70. In other words,
/ think will advertise for board. In that
case, shall have variety of chances offer,
the best of which l can make selection OF.
Let me see How shall I express it .? After
all, there is good deal in the expressions.
Shall l say that "a gentleman of lipited
means is desrous of procuring commodious
boarding place on easy terms - That would
prevent the asking high price, but l am
afraid it would cut of all applications from
those who could offer reasonable accommo-
dations.
On the whole, think the following will
be as good form as [ can
"A single gentleman is desiring of procur-
ing board on reasonable terms. A quiet
house Indispensable Letters may be address
cd to A.G Box 10, Pest Office"
There that contains the whole in a nutshell
Neat and concise Nothing remains but to
make two or three copies, and forward to the
newspapers, and then await the result, what
ever it may be.
jane 3. NJ advertisement only appeared
yesterday for the 6rst time, and already /
have always eleven letters directed "A. G,
Box 10 Post 0fice."
One of them purports to be from q lone
widder, who ever since the death of her dear
departed Flannigan has had TO struggle with
the cowld-hearted world for support, and
would be willing TO board the single gentle
man on the best in tho market, and an iligant
cook she is, for the small of four dollars

No. Mrs. Flannigan, difficult as is the task,
I must refuse your application
There Is nothing worth notice about the
other applications, if / except the following
with which L am, on the whole, most favor
ably impressed. 1t is frank and to the point
Mrs Brown Stout has observed in the
papers an advertisement for board. Mrs. b.
s. is not professed boarding house keeper
(heaven forbidD but having an apartment
which she does not use, at all, would be will
ing to receive as an inmate a gentleman OF
character, which she feels assured IN the case
with the advertisement. Mrs E ;. not be-
ing professed clearinghouse keeper, as she
has before had occasion to remark, cannot

The absence of other boarders, and the small
ness of her own tamil, may be regarded as
sufficient assurance that the house vii be

In regard to terms, Mrs B. s. is satis
