AN UNFORTUNATE SHAVER

A worthy citizen undertook to trim his beard a short time since,and by a slip of the scissors spoiled the cut. He trimmed a little more, and still more,but it would look lobsided, so he went to the barber's and got shaved for tho first time in 12 years. He was very busy, and business detained him in his office-until a late hour of the night, and when he went home he found that his family had retired. This was not an unusual occurrence, so he silently entered by means of a latch-key, sought his own room, and undressed without lighting a candle. He got partly into bed when his wife astonished him by utter ing a loud and prolonged scream. He was very much alarmed, and feared she had lost her reason. He implored her to tell him what was' the matter. At the fo_nd of his voice she screamed —" Oh . -Cdward, come quick and save me !" •' I | inhere dear," said- he; hut she only tFi_amed the louder at the words. He -./rang out of bed, and had just struck a light, when his brother-in-law, a muscular six footer, rushed into the room, and with a poker aimed a blow at his head. In a minute a pale-faced man, with a long white robe, staggered under the blow, which bad doubled the si_e of his organ of comparison. . " Great heavens !" ex claimed the husband," are you all crazy ?" " Bless my heart!" shouted the muscular bro_her*in-la.w. "Why. it's Ned him self. What on earth tempted you to get yourself up in that style ? " " What style ? " asked the much-abused, ;husband as he rubbed the growing lumps on his forehead! " Why, when did you shave ? " It was all clear to him then. His wife had put up her hand in the dark, and meeting the shaved face of a man took her husband for an intruder. She recog nised his voice at first, but the second time he spoke her terror was too great, and she fainted. His wife recovered from her faint only to faint again at the recog nition of her husband's shaven face and the poker mark on his forehead. Matters were finally straightened up at home, but in the street his friends passed him with out speaking, and at the bank he was not only refused payment of a draft, but threatened with arrest for signing his,own name in endorsing it. Of course a little explanation brought the various.affairs all right, but it took so much time to explain, and for the concussion on his forehead to* get well, that the aforesaid citizen vows he will never shave again, as he considers it a habit dangerous to peace and even to lie. ' " In a recently published work, "Pictures of Euss.an Life," we find this example of drinking on principle, " When a mujik; drinks he does not drink for company s sake, or in order to have a chat over his grog, butsimply togetdrunk. Thisis the reason a really good sober workman is always to be found drunk on his holiday, say iat Easter J . time. Eor months and months beforehand' such a man will weekly lay by a few cop- j ecks in order to have his regular break-; out at Easter. A man on entering such a plase calculates his means, and orders ac cordingly glass after glass as far as his. money goes. The contents of these he bolts as quickly as- he can ; and, as a rule only a few moments will elapse before his head is on the table. He is, allowed to snore for a short time, and according as fresh candidates present themselves for a seat, the Unsensible brother is helped to the door, and with a good push in the middle of the back, launched out into th. street so as not to fall down on the immediate threshold. The lumps of insensible ' humanity lying outside such ashop in the nights of Easter week are a ' curious spectacle to behold; and as th. wives arrive to find their missing husbands a good deal of sorting has to tai- c place before the right Ivan is found Some curious sights are at times to be seen in these dens ; the people are such a mixture of honesty and dishonesty. I hare seen a man who having paid beforehand for five glasses of spirit, was knocked ovef atthe fourth, and then actually held up vith one arm by the keeper of the place, wlilst the 1 glass washeldto the lips of the unccnscious : customer,.whose still thirsty guUei swol lowed the contents, > ■■ ■.i ■ ■.'■'■ ; v" "At a recent 3?rayer meeting in Ingland a gentleman just arrived from America, in asking-prayer for a peaceful aril hon r orable solution of the " Alabamj diffi culty /'narrated the origin of th> word ' "Alabama." A large prairie beindon fire the Indians a-ushed from their holies for safety; the flames pursued therm they saw no way of escape, a river,, inteicepted further progress, there was no tine fpr i hesitation they jumped into the wafer, and i swam to the opposite shore; ; bll of ' thankfulness they prostrated themselves ; on the ground, and cried, " Al-a-lama !' <• "'Here is rest." From this coinjidence v arose the name of the State, andfrim that > the name of the ship, so singular thjt what . implies rest and safety should haje been the cause of strife bordering on wsr.. 7 " .We find the follotVingi_ter_^ng ac count in an American Agriculture Jour nal of an experiment made b^aaember of the Essex Agricultural Societj which ' was substantially as follows: > Ecjr cows \. were selected from his herd when, jispas ' tares were parched with excessive tfougbt. Two of them, were fed night anj morn ing with green corn-stalks, as iuch'as they would eat. The other two fere fed i n with English hay of medium quality|smuch ' ■"■ as they would eat, all goingin thedmepas , ture during the day. Their rilkwaa carefully measured. After about tjoweeksi their food was changed; those iat had been fed on corn wer.e fed wi^te7' an<^ ;those that had been fed lon hay >ere fed ~,,, .with corn for about two weeks loger, and the " milk carefully/ meaiurej. T^e result was nearly the same. Tbre was > jdamo preceptible difference .in the Quantity lK]|Lnilk produced when fed on gien corn pdder or English hay. He bale to the Conclusion, therefore, that it is mbh more feeding on green foddesthan on hay, as it costs much less.- HeSiall how ever, that corn fodder should nojbi used until it has nearly reached its g>wth, in the blossom, and then it possess more nutriment than when cut ■. eaier. It should not be sowed too thick^orgrow in he shade,. , "Who is he?" said a pass! by to a policeman wbo-was endeavourin to raise an intoxicated individual who to. fallen into the gutter. "" Can't say," rblied the Eoliceman; "he can't give an 40tint °f imself." %Of course' hqj;," Kd the 'Other; *' how can you expect ajaccounfc ' froi» a man who bas lost hia bajncef " "
