be surprised if you saw me out in the _Herald_ under "Situations Wanted--Males." Thanks to a marrying tendency in the rest of my family, I have now little need to advertise, all the business being thrown into my way which a single member of my profession can attend to. I meander, like a desultory, placid salmon bear asf funny of an old bachelor as I am, through the flowery mead of several nurseries, but I am detained longest among the children of my sister Lu.
