' ' COWPEAS SOYBEANS V; GARDEN SEEDS Joiiii IsMUfachern "' Son. ,- 211: Market Street the birth of Shaw occurred in the town of Lanesborough, Mass. His father' was a member of the Massa chusetts Legislature for 25 years and a member of Congress at the time his gifted son was born. The latter was sent to JIamilton college at the age of 14. but he had no disposition to endure the restraints of a student's life, and besides he already was fas cinated with the stories of adventure in the remote regions of the West ern part of the United States. He finally fled from civilization ana "went out West," where for several years he led a varied and active life. He worked on steamboats on the Ohio river, was proprietor of a coun try store for a time, and in town was emnloved as a farmer, cattle-driver, coal operator, teacher, real estate agent, auctioneer, and owner or a steamboat running between Charles- town and Gallipolis. v On a visit to his father in 1845 ne married a Miss Bradford, of Lanes borough, a direct descendant of Wil liam Bradford, one of the notables in the colonial history of Massachusetts. In 1858 in order to educate his two daughters Shaw settled at Poughkeep sie, N. Y., where he engaged in busi ness as an auctioneer, and at the same time turned his attention to lit erature. He had a ereat fund of dry humor which sounded better than it looked, and the articles that he wrote re ceived no attention. He made up his mind that, as he afterward said, he was "boring: with a pretty poor giro- let," and the idea came to him that he would make his observations look in print something like they sounded when uttered in his peculiar arawi. and that in this manner he mjght find appreciative readers. With this thought he took hu morous sketch which he had written in 1859 and which was called "An Es say on the Mule." and changed the spelling throughout to a form that more nearly represented his style of enunciation. The article was now called "An Es- sa on the Muel, by Josh Billings." The original "Essay on the Mule," al though itself a very funny production, had excited no great interest, but the new "Essa on the Muel," which was published in a New York . paper, was reprinted in several of the comic jour nals and extensively copied. Shaw had found his vein and he worked it assiduously thereafter. His most extensive literary venture was travesty on the Old Farmers Al manac," published for many years in Boston. Shaw called his take-on "Josh Billings' Farmers' Allmanax." In a few months 90,000 copies were printed and sold, and the sales con tinued to increase. The' New York Weekly secured Sh'aw as a contributor and he con tinued with that paper up to the time of his death. He began to lecture in 1863, and he was equally success ful in this field. His lectures were a series of pithy sayings without core or. order, delivered in an apparently awkward manner, but so droll and quaint that they became very popu lar. For a number of years he toured the United States and was heard in every section of the country. ' He of ten delivered as many as a hundred lectures in a single season. Shaw published a number of works, all bearing the name of "Josh Bill ings." His health failing after many years of regular work for the press and on the lecture platform, he went to Monterey. Cal.. ,v,,"e his death occurred at the age of 67.
