Willing to Oblige.

A VERY prepOssessing young lady, can
wasting for popular book, stepped into
the office of real estate broker in
Springfield, Mass, the other morning
and, finding the broker apparently at
leisure, asked him to look at her book.
The gentleman politely informed her
that it would only be waste of time,
as he could not purchase it. ooh, never
mind that" calculated the vivacious
young woman; it won't cost anything
to look at it, even if you don't buy. I
should like to have you read some por-
tions of 1t and see what it is" The &C
commodating broker took the volume
and, glancing at the title-page, COM
menced perusal of its introduction.
This finished, he began at the first chap
ter, and read carefully and leisurely
along. 1t was about nine o'clock when
he commenced, and an hour passed
silently away. Then the book agent be-
gan to exhibit signs of nervousness,
which were apparently unnoticed by the
broker, for he never raised his eyes from
the volume, but read steadily ON. Eleven
o'clock came, and the lady began to
walk rather smartly about the room,
glancing occasionally out of the win
dows. At noon the broker was still
reading, and the agent wore decidedly
troubled countenance. A few minutes
before one the broker laid down the
book, leisurely donned his oVercoat and
hat, and remarked, blandly: "That is a
very good book. l am sorry that can
not read more of it, but / am obliged to
go to dinner. If you will call in this af-
ternoon, will read some more of it."

Advice to a Girl Who ." Finished.'

GERTRUDE-Yu tell me that yu hav
been two years in boarding school,
and hav just finished yure edukashun,
and want to kno what yu shall do next.
Listen, mi gushing Gertrude, and I
will tell yu.
Get up in the morning in good season,
go down into the kitchen, seize potato
by the throat with one hand and knife
with the other. skin the potato, and a
dozen more just like it, stir up the buck
wheat batter, look to the oven and see
how the biscuit are doing, hustle around
generally, step on the cats tail, and help
your good old mother git breakfast.
After breakfast put up the yung chill
dren's luncheon for skool, help wash up
the dishes, sweep, put things in order,
and sumtime during the day knit at
least two inches and half on sum one
ov yure brothers little blue wooden
stockings for next winter.
In other words, go to work and make
yureself useful now that yu hav. bekum
ornamental, and if yu hav emmy time
left, after the beds are all made, and the
duks hav been fed, pitch into the pianna,
and make the old rattle-boX skream with
musk.
Do this for one year, and some likely
yung fellow in the naberhood will hear
ov it, and will begin to hang around yu
and say sweeter things than yu ever
heard before, and will finally Civ yu a
chance to keep house on yure own hook.
Yu follow mi advice, Gerty, and see if
he don't.-J0sh BILLINGS, IN N. Y. Weekly
