a ''shooting stick" preferred. Willing

as well as TO ourselves, for few years,
an indispensable qualification. He is not
TO have more than three sweethearts, nor
more than ten corner lounging associates.
No objections TO ms useing tobacco, cigars
or pipe, provided the cold soldiers" and
ashes are kept off our table and out of the
cases. If consistent with his finer feel-
ings, we would respectfully venture the
suggestion that he leaves US at least one

over them when at leisure. Must not
use more than one quire Of letter paper or

and those of the tenants who occupy the
room beneath US, by bringing only dozen
OF his associates into the composing room
at any one time after night Some re-
gard should be also paid 10 the number of
gas jets which are lighted on such occa-
sions. We admit that the Rpu6licas
/ office presents an attractive appearance
when under a full head of light, and at
the same time we are painfully aware of
the fact that the inGices of The meter at
tract the attention of tue gas company
even TO a greater extent than the light
attracts CUSTOM Loafng in the office ON
the Sabbath Is positively prohibited If
ten hours a day for SIX days in a week is
not sufficient length of time for our new
/ conner to remain in the office, we will
accommodate him with few hours extra
work at night. Printers ink is not poi
sonous when applied outwardly there
fore, the candidate for typographical
honors need not feel the least uneasiness
should he, during brief stay, soil his
hands with it. Emery paper, cotton
waste and oil are excellent for cleaning
the polished parts of printing press, as
we shall show our apprentice at brief in
tervals. a sponge saturated with benzine
is capital for removing ink from the roll>
ers, as will be discovered from time TO
time A broom is used in our office at
halfepast five o'clock each afternoon.-
Type dropped on the floor must be picked
up at once. Twenty stoops frequently
saves twenty cents. We have in our en-
ploy an experienced job printer, who will
attend TO all orders IN that line 1t will
be entirely unnecessary, therefore, for our
novice to undertake that branch at first
and more particularly the printing of his
own name and that of his trio of sweets
hearts, for which purpose the ornamental
type and gold bronze are generally made
70 suffer. If there is young man any
where in the city-or out of it either
who is willing to conform TO these rules,
can read manuscript and write a fair
hand, and who is resIly desirous of acqui-
ring a first-class trade-one at which he
can secure employment in every city and
nearly every town on the continent-we
shall be much pleased to confer with him
