Counting IL a luxury, it is fse water, It is
the pla spell!uv the sole. The man who has,
never courted has lived in vain; he has been
blind man amung landscapes, he has been
a def man in the land of hand-orgaDs, and
by the side of murmuring canals Court
ing is like two little springs of water that
start out from under rock at the font NV
a mountain, and runs down hill side by side,
singing, dancing. scattering each other, ed p
dying and frothing and kaskading, now
hiding under the bank. now full NV shad-
der, till byemby they jne. and then they
go slow. am in favor of long courting; it
gives the parties a chance to find out each
others trump car Is. 1t is good exercise,
and Is just as innocent as merino lambs.
" Courtin is like Strawberries and cream
wants to be did slow, then you git the, tia-
vor. have seen folks get acquainted. fall
In luv, get married, settle down and get to
Z work, in three weeks from date. This is
just the wa sum folks larn trade-akounts
for the great number ofalmighty mean me-
chancks and the poor jobs they turn out.
Perhaps it is best should state sum good
advice To yung men VINO are about TO court
with view to matrimony as it was. ul
In the fust place, yung men, yu want to
GIT yure system awl right, then find yuilg

The next thingis, to find ont how old she
Is: wich you can do by askin her, and SHE
will sa She Is 10 years old, and this you will
find won't be flriout of the wa. % 'l-i '.3fi
The next thing is to begin moderate; sa
once every mite IN the week for the iust six
months, increasn the dose as the pasient
seems tew require.
|, 1T is tust rate wa tn court the girls
mother little on the start, tor there is l
thing a woman never despises, and that is a
. 10 q. a., a.,
square.
After the fust year yu will git acquaint-
ed, aud will begin tu like the biziness.
There is thing always advise, that is
not to swop forty gratis oftener than onst,in
every l6 daze, unless you forget how the
gal looks. I'D.
Occasionally yu want to look sorry and
draw in yure wind as tho yu had pain:
this will set the girl tu teezing yu tn find
out what ails'yu.
Evening meetings are a good thing to
ten'l. 1t will keep yure religion i'll tune,
and if yure gal happens to be there, bi ac-
cident, she cap ask yu tu 20 home with
her.
Az a general thing / woOdn't brag on
B other girls much when / was cOurtln.' It
might look as though yu knu tew much.

to the "Young America cheap store and
git measured tor plug hat at my expense
and pay for it.
Don't court for mummy, nor buty, nor re-
lashuns; those things are just about as the
kerosene lie refining bizness liable to get
out OF repair aud bust at any mint. Court
gal tor fun. for the love you bear her, tor
the virtue and Dizziness there is in her;
court her for wife or for mother court
her as you would court farm for the sie,
aud the projection of the title; court her as
though she want fule and yu another.-
| Court her in the kitchen, over the wash
tub, and at the pianner; court this wa,
yung man, and if you don't git wife, the
talt wont be in the courtin.'
Iung man. yu can rely on Josiar Billings,
and if yu can't make these rules wurk. jist

thing is did-it shant cost you sent.
