JOSH HILLINGS ON HOTELS.
Hotels are houses ov refuge, homes for
he vagrants, the married man's retreat,
ind the bachelor's fireside.
The) are kept in nil sorts ov ways, sum
hi the European plan, and menny ov them
hi no plan at all.
A good landlord iz like a good step
iinther, he know- hiz bigness and means
0 do Ids duly.
lie know-how to rub hiz hands with
ov when a traveler draws nigh, he knows
low to smile, lie knows ) ure wife’s fath
r when he waz living, and ynre wife’s
ir.-t husband, but he don't speak about
tint.
lie kan tell whether it will rain to-nior
•ow or sot; lie hears jure complaints with
1 tear in his eye, he blows up the servants
it Mire suggestion, and stands around red
!v with a shirt collar on as stiff as broken
■hina.
A man maybe a good Supream Couit
fudge, and at the same time he a miser
ible landlord.
Most even body thinks he kan keep a
lotel (and they kan), but this aekounts
or the great number of hotels that air kept
m the Mime principle that a Justissov the
I’eaee offiss iz kept in a country during a
-i.\ days’ jury trial for killing sumboddy’s
yello dorg.
A hotel wont keep itself and keep the
landlord too, and ever kure a traveler from
the habit of profane swearing.
1 hav had this experiment tried on mo
several times, and it alwus makes me swear
wuss.
It i- too often the kase that landlords go
into the bizziness ov hash as ministers go
into the professhun, with the very best ov
motives, but the poorest kind ov prospects.
I don’t know of any bizziness more tlat
icrsuin than the tavern bizziness; there
lon’t seem to be annythiug to do but to
stand in front ov the register with a pen
aeliind the ear and see that the guests eu
:er the house, then yank a bell-rope six or
-even times, and then tell John to sho the
gentleman to97(j, and then take four dol
lars and fifty cents next morning from the
poor devil ov a traveler and letliim went.
This seems to lie the whole thing (and
it iz the whole tiling) in most cases.
You will diskover the followingdeskrip
shun, a mild one, ov about it hotels out of
10 between the Atlautick and Pacifiek
l (shuns akrost the United States in a
straight line:
i in i luuiu ji j«i iuui »» im.iic.Ti, vj j iwi
r inches, parallelogramly.
It being court week (es usual) all the
'ood rooms are employed bj' the lawyers
md Judges.
Yourc room is on the uttermost floer.
The carpet is ingrain—ingraned with the
lust, kerosene ile and ink-spots ot four
'enerashuns.
There iz two pegs in the room to hitch
•oats onto; one ov them broke oph and
die other pulled out and missing.
The buro has three legs and one brick.
The glass to the buro swings on two
pivots which have lost their grip.
Thare is one towel on the rgck, thin,
but wet. The rain water in the pitcher cum
out ov the well.
The soap iz az luff to wear az a whet
stone.
The soap is scented with cinnamon ile,
md variegated with spots.
Thare iz three chairs, cane scoters, one
z a rocker, and all three iz busted.
Thare iz a match box, empty.
Thare iz no kurtin to the window, and
bare don't want to ho any; yn kant see
jut, and who kan see in ?
The bell rope iz cum oph about six inch
es this side ov the ceiling.
The bed iz a modern slat bottom, with
two mattresses, one cotton, and one husk,
and both harder, and about az thick az a
sea biskit.
^ u enter the bed side ways and kan feel
every slat at once, az easy az you could
tin- ribs of a grid-iron.
The bed iz inhabited.
Yu sleep some but roll over a good deal.
Tor breakfast you have a gong, and rhy
coffee too kold to melt butter; tried pota
toes which resemble the chips that a two
ineli auger makes in its journey through
:tll oak log.
Dread soiled, beef steak about az thick
i/, a blister plaster, and as tough az a
bound's ear.
Table covered with plates, a few scared
to death pickles on one ov them, and 6 fly
endorsed crackers on the other.
A pewterinktunieiistor with three bottles
in it, one without any pepper in it, one
without any mustard," and one with two
inches ot drowned flies, and sum vinegar
in it.
yu earnestly, tittil wants to know if yu
want another cup ov coffee.
Yu .-ay “No mom, I thank yu,’’ and
push back yure chair.
Yu liavn’t cat enuff to pay for picking
yure teeth.
1 am about az self-consented as it will
do for man to be and not crack open, but i
never yet consaited that i could keep a ho
tel ; 1 had rather be a highwayman than
to be sum laudloards i have visited with.
Thare are hotels that are a joy upon
earth, whare a man pays hiz billaz cheer
fully az he did the parson who married
him; whare yu han't find the landlord un
less yu hunt in the kitchen; whare servants
glide around like angels ov mercy; whare
the beds lit a man's back like the leathers
ou a goose, and whare the vittles taste just
az lho yure wife or yure mother had fried
them.
Thezc kind ov hotels ought tew be bilt
on wheels and travel around the country;
they are just az phull ov real comfort az a
thanksgiving pudding, but alas ! they are
az unplenty az double-yoked eggs.
Retaliation.—There was once a brisk
rivalry at Westerly, R. I., between the
missionary of the C hristian association and
an advertiser of patent medicines. The
former painted in large letters on a fence,
“What shall l do to bo saved?” and thd
latter put under it, “I'sc -'s German
Bitters 1” But the missionary retaliated by
printing under “Use -’s German Bit
ters,” the text, • • Prepare to meet thy God!”
