I A storekeeper who recently advertised for an assistant received the following re- 1 ply :•—" Dear sir,—Having heard that you were reorganising your staff of office-boys I very humbly be X to offer my poor serv ices in that capacity. I shall be 20 yea. s of asje in two year 3. and have had two and a haif years' experience in cleaning office wasting time, and eating stock. The best persons to whom I can refer you are those jrho know nothing of me, as 1 bear but an indifferent character as to honesty, steadi ness and punctuality amongst my friends I am willing to do any job, however dirty out ofM.hich there is anything to he made __agSithis 1 consider a great qualification, faring in. mind the present state of SHfiercantirJ-jhorality. 2 feel Myself com petent to fill the post of foreign corres v ponding clerk having had French and German lessons paid for several years, though with precious little result. I might also be induced, for a consideration to lake a traveller's berth, having any amount of impudence, and would not stick at a lie—two great things in or to effect a sale. I have had considerable exper iece in the tea trade, having for the last year or two washed out the pots after the governor has liquored the samples. Am of a modest and retiring disposition, amia able temper, and not given to stay out at nights, Salary is a secondary object, as I shonld be satisfied say with £250 to start •with, and should expect to finish up with your daughter, and an equal partnership. —Your obedient servant, A. P. G." " This is nice butter, my boy," said a shopkeeper to a twelve-year-old urchin, who had brought a pailful of that article to market; " nice butter. I'll take all your mother has to sell.,' —"I don't be lieve she'll sell any more," said the boy. " cause I heard her say she wouldn't have sold that only a rat fell into the cream, and she didn't want to use it her self.
