JOSH BILLING'S ADVICE TO GIRLS.
My dear girls, keep cool. A. blessed future await 3 yu, ennyW. Take lessms on the pianna at outs; piannas are getting skase. Bi awl means learn to pla the un song that has just cum out. " When John Brown is over we 'ave Father Abraham camming with his kruel war several strong." This stanza took the fust premium at the Strait fair. Don't be afrade to get married: yure ma want afraide. Be vartoous and putty. Eat slate pensils ; tha will make yu pry at figers. Let yure pettykots drag on the side waks, and if enny man steps on 'em and tares oph the rim, slap his chops at onst. If yu'ave .got feet keep 'em hid—small feet has gone out uv fashion. Study travels: Tom Moors and Byrons and Gullivers is all fust-rait. If yu can spare the time be luvly arid sweet. Eemeniber one thing; thar an't nothing in this life worth living for but a rich husbaud. If yu don't b'leve me, aske yure ma. Ifyu 'ave got red hare yu hav better exchange it for blak; blak tha tell is goin' to be worn muchly next year. Don't hav enny tiling tew du with boys unless they mean bisness. If yu don't know 'ow tew skate, yu mite as well jine some traveling nunery at onst, for yure played out. •
