Josh Billings's Advice to the squire "
Singer.

The 1st thing to make . good quire
singer is to giggle little. Put up your
hair in curl papers every Friday mite
soze to have It in good shape Sunday
morning. II your daddy Is rich you
can buy some store hair; II he is very
rich buy some more and build II up high
upon your head; then git high priced
bunnet that runs up very high, at the
hish part of it, and git the milIiner TO
plant some high grown arta6shels onto
the highest part of it. This will help
you TO sing high, Is sophrano is the
highest part.
When the tune is Civ out, don't pay
attention TO it, and then giggle. Giggle
good eel.
Whisper to the girl next you that En-
Jones, which set on tine "a sect from
the front On the left hand side, has her
bunnet with the same color exact she
had last year, and then put up your book
to your face and giggle.
Object to every tune unless there Is Q
solow into it for the sophrano. Con
and ham good eel before you begin to
sing.
When Won sing q solow shake the ar
tifchels of your bunnet, and when you
come to high tone brace yourself back
a little, twist your head to one side, and
open your mouth the widest on that
side, shet the eye on the same side jest
triple, and then pat in for dear life.
When the preacher gets under he'd
wey with his preachin, write note onto
the fourth part Of your note book
That's what the blank leaf was made for
Git sum body to pass the note to sun
body else, and you watch them while
they read 1t, and then giggle.
\ II any body talks or laffs in the con
gregation and the preacher takes notii
Of Il. that's good chantz for you Z
giggle, and you ought to giggle . grea
eel.
The preacher darsent say any thing
to you bekaus you are in the quire. i
you had bow before you went into thu
quire, Civ him the mitten-ycu ought Y
have sum body better now.
Don't forget to giggle.

BURDETrE, writing from Niagara Falls
says: POSSIBLY the Haukeye thinks have
at last wandered clear to the jumping of
place and jumped off and pulled the place of
with me. This is a mistake. | have been to
the jumping off place, but it was fenced in,
and it cost 81 to ask where it was, So to find
out, So to ask to look at it, 81 to be told that
you might, S. to get to it, S. to look at it, s.
to say anything about it, s. to keep quiet
about it, 50 to quit looking at it, $40 to 60
away from it, and 81 for thinking about it.
So didn't try to jump off met a man who
had been working there seventeen years to
get enough money to be allowed to jump off,
but he has only amassed $14, 900, and they
would only let him stick one leg over for five
minutes for that But We enjoyed Niagara
all the same. Everybody does who goes
there.
