to step into some barber's shop cud got it
dons. And so I made nnyibreakfast with
what appetite I might, put the 11conso and
thering into my pocket;.and set out for" thO
town wher — Julia lived. ,
This town was about twepl,y, minutes by
.rail from (a village, and I arrived there in
very
_good time. Julia and -I - had agreed
that our wedding should be as quiet as pos-'
Bible; and it had.been arranged that I should
walk alone to the church, while she should
proceed thither in a carriage, accompanied
only by an uncle and a younger 'sister. My
way to the church lay by Julia's-door, and,
so much was I engrossed by thoughts of the
coming ceremony, that it was not Until
ilia arrived nt. amt. point, that Lilo. eight of
a barber's pole on tlui opposite side of tho
way, reminded me that I had not yet boon
shaved. • I
glanced at Julia's window„ but I
was so early that no ono was .visiblo,- and
there was as yet no sign of a earring° at the
door. I looked at my watch, and stopped
into the barber"s shop.
The window of the shop fronted the street,
but the door was up a little court by the
side, so that, as the barber happened to bo !
looking out of the window .when I entered,
I could not see tho barber's faco r neither did
the barber soo mo. It seemed as if he did
not hear me either ; seating myself in a
chair in the middle of tho shop, and placing
my hat on a form, I said, in a mild tone of
voice: " 1 want a shave if you please."
The barlior did not move, and the oxpros
aion of his ountonance—as far as could .bei
inferred from an inspection of the back of
of his head—was one of melancholy abstrac
tion.
-
Again I said; in a somewhat louder tone
"/ will trouble you to t 'shave me, _if you
please."
Still tho harbor did not move. .
Surprised at this; I called out in a sharper
inannur : "I wont a shavc!"-
The barber, with a cal - Thus-indifference to

In a moment his eyes flashed ..with a
strange light. Advancing towards me with a
bound, ho seized a chair, sot it down with
most unneees4ry violence opposite to mine,
drew himself into it, and, loaning forward
his bands - on Hi thighs; eyedrint'over,-from

and only thouglenow of beating a retreat ;
so,'taking out my watch, I said: "

"But, my good sir," I 'faltered I, "I can

Under this indiction, I saw the carriage
drive up to Julia's door, and presently drive
elf 'again in the direction of the church;
whilst through its, window I saw ..a fleeting
vision' s ohwo white veils and a white waist

Two or three •women came out of, their

the razor and passed it once or twice 'over
the strop, and then pulling a handful of hairs
