of the Future In Acquiring Wealth
as well as Fame.

DEAR Boy Il hope you Will eycuze
yoar old parent for continuing his hole
som advise. You will recollect. Zacheree
that [ have seen the world; I know how
folkes live. which is what many don't.
Ny deer boy you must remember about
the boots and hats, and whilst you are
thinking of them I'll add sumthen else.
Don't forget to hev hired girl for Sarah
Jain, and always see that the girl opens
the door for visiters no difference if the
follower things don't correspond-any
hoao have girl, don't say, may be you
cant pay her, aristockrasy-rale aristock-
rasy, never thinks 'payen hired help ex-
cept in old fashioned clothes. IF you
have any children, don't think of feeden
'um to high; save all little bits of odds
and ends for cumpany-its the only way
of gitten on my boy. If at last all wont
do, take some agency, but don't travel the
streets-take an offiss aud put up sech a
sine as sum of the folleren: "Golden
Exchang" or, ''The Million Eere's Com
panion' or "Gold and Silver Bot Here"
anything dlgnifed. Reckillect me boy
the Jee is to make brilliant show, same
as circuses and the like. In the winter
time you must hev boss and cutter
your creditors cant tex that you know,
and when you take Serah Jain out rldin
pile up three or four coon tales in sight
it looks nightly like frs you know.
You must heye bells if it cost all the
money you hev. As to going to church,
so of course, and when you drop anything
in the hat always let it go cachink. /
would advise you to attend the Episcala-
torian church Ii think tha call it,, for
they only ask you to notis theer eeremon-
les and sich but as horse trading is your
ice, then [ wood recommend the metho-
dians. When you talk, say sich words
as-ho1f koff instid ny haf and kaf and
sech arystockresy, yer rale arystockresy
alias do it, and by all means leeve off the
er" from words, for instance say ''but-
tab, 'sugah, ''laboh" and all sech
Now Zacheree should you ever want to
run for an office yeu must be on yer taps
you must be considerate as to which
church you attend-and give all the
saloons an acquaintance with your phiz.
Should they ask you to pay your bills, tell
EN- ''yes, when l am in offiss. Don't you
see hows token that will be (? they will
help you then for your money, for ei
you get in, they'll expect pay, besides
you can lie on benches in Justice Courts
and the like, with a newspaper over your
face to keep the flies of, in summer, and
sech. This will give you areputation of bein
rich, which is of great help. In public
places always git up and order and direct
and ignorant fcks will think you are
boss of the hull world, don't We see? and
thinker so will meke ye so. my boy
don't ye mind now? Now my last part
ing advise all put in one little bottle like,
my boy is; ware nice close outside
(under meks no diference) git money
any way-eyry way-only git it-and
keep it, don't pay any debts if possible;
don't pay hired girls; don't pay washer
women or hired men, nor cigars, or whis-
key, but privately you can indulge in
these latter things; always talk and laugh
loud, and max yourself seen and heard.
Don't trubb]e yourself about brains, my
boy; brass does the hull thing now days.
Hopin to hear OF your crate fortune
soon, l remain Your Parent,
A. ToDFELLow.
