Mark Twain on Barbers.
In consequence of the undisputed
fact that some of tho pleasnntcst mo
ments of men' lives are passed in tho,
soothing embrace of a barber's chair,
wo deem that a few words devoted to
tho tonsorial artists will be no more
than they desorvo. They nro all, in
somo degree, benefactors, of tho malo
portion of tho human family, and
as such, should bo accordingly re
spected, although their present tariff
of prices is probubly ns much reward
for their services as they caro to havo.
As thero nre various kinds of barbers
we will mention a few.
There is tho obliging barber, w ho is
nlways attentive to buisness, thor
oughly competent and quick in action,
ai well as satisfactory in result. lie
is a man who know his friends, but
shows no undue partiality. He lias a
smiling face nnd a steady hand for all.
His razor is always kept sharp and
cup clean for strangers, and moreover,
when he has finished his task he cau
tiously listens to complaints, nnd if
necessary, repents the process until
tho customer pronounces himself sat
isfied. A nd when the shop is full of
people, nil impatiently clumoring fur
"turn," llio obliging barber docs not,
wilh tho Burliness of somo wc know,
linger und putter over one man ten or
fifteen minutes longer than necessury,
but works with dispatch und calls
"next" in ns short a lime as possible
liy nil means, tho talkutive barber
embraces tho largest number of mib-
jeets. No respectable barber shop
has less than one representative of Hie
"talkative ninn," nnd all largo estah
is, ol course nboul llio weather.
Then they diverge, and speak of
young Hassletou's recent marriage, re
counting tho fhshionahlo splendor of
the event wilh as much zest und fluency
ns if they had been ono of tho invited
guests. Next they take up the sub
ject of the war; they dwell palhet
ically fur a moment on the death of
Thompson ; and alter telling how the
administration should bo conducted,
w ind up by "I tell w hat, now, old
Vnnderhilt has got hi match in Jim
Fisk. Jim is a mighty smart fellow!"
A careless burlier is the pest of man-'
kind. He is ever milking mistakes ol
tho most serious nature, and is always
' very sorry that tho victim hits not the
heurt lo 'pitch into' him. lie is cither
j digging small canals in the customer's
check, cutting liberal slice from his
chin, purloining slender slcuks from
his cur, or tukiog nn inch or two from
his nose. If not doing something of
this kind, then ho makes niislukos
directly to the opposite, by not cutting
enough. Ho will shave off three
inches of w hisker from one side of
the face and four from tho other side;
or in cutting tho hair bo will cut lop
sided, or too short, or loo thin, or
something of that kind.
Fortunutely the ugly barber species
is limited. Sineo tho unfortunate
knightoflho strop got his neck broken
for dropping tho edge of a razor across
tho bridge of a gentleman's nose, out
of ptiro spiteful cussed news, there has
not boon much ol that kind of business.
Spileful barber arc going out of fushion
because it doesn't pay them.

Tho Month of August.
August has been here and gnno.nnd

I summer i, on tho wane, und that the
time is fust approaching when she wiil
lake her departure. We catch faint
(.'lance of niituinn peeping stealth
ily through opening where the leaves
havo already fallen, and among ber
ries whero slimmer hung out her blos

footsteps among tho dry seed vessels,
which have usurped tho pluco of her
flowers. Though tho convolvulus
still throws ils straggling bell about
tho hedges, (ho sweel May-bud are

all tho lield How era nro gone ; Hie
beautiful feathered grusso that waved
like gorgeous plumes in the breeze
and sunshine are cut down and cur
ried away, nnd in their place there is
only a green, fbmcrles uftermolh.
Many of tho birds ihut sung in the
green chamber which she hung fur
them wilh her richest arrays, have
lell bcr, and gone over the seu. What
few singers remain, are silent, and
preparing for their departure ; und
when she hear the robin, hi song
comfort her not, for she know lliul
ho will chant a swco'.er song to au
tumn, w hen she lies buried bonculli
llio fallen leave. Musing at times
over her nppronching end, upon the
hillsides, they aro touched by her
bouuty, und crimson up with the flow
er of the heather, and long league of
wild moorland citu-h the reflected
blush, w hich goes reddening up like
sunshine along tho mountain slope.
The bluebell peeps out in wonder to
boo such a land of beauty, and seems
to shake ils fragile bells with delight.
In waste places, the tall golden rod,

streaked wilh green and gold.
In tho old Roman calendar, August
bore the name of Sex till is, as the sixth
month of the scries, und consisted of
hut twenty-nine days. Julius (Vsur,
in reforming theculeuilarof his nation
extended it to thirty day. When,
not long after, August conferred on
its own name, be took a day from
February, and added it lo August,
which hug consequently ter since
consisted of thirty-olio tiny. This
great ruler was born in September,
and it might havo been expected thai
he would made the month under bis
patronage; but a number of lucky
thing hud happened to him in Aug
ust, which, moreover, stood next to
Ihe month of hi illustrious predeces
sor, Julius; so he prelered Sextillis n
tho month w - li it la should be honored
hy hearing bis namo, and August il
bus ever since been among all nations
deriving their civilization from the
Romans.
Guard Against Vulgarity.
We especially commend the follow

of the young. Nothing is so disgust

ly a few day before tho auspicious
hour, our young friend concluded that
he would enjoy a refreshing bulh in a
creek that ran within a short distance
of his homo. Acting upon the thought,
he wended his way to whore a large
magnolia stood near the bank of the
pellucid stream, and divesting himself
of his clothing, was soon disporting
in the limpid waters, suddenly a
sound broke upon his cur. Hark,
'twas (he ripplo, not of the water, but
of a silvery laugh and peering cau
tiously ubove the bunk, what was his
horror to see hi fair inumorula, ac
companied by a female friend, not
moro than ono hundred yards distant,
und slowly approaching the spot
where he stood "in all hi loveliness
revealed." Here wus a predicament
indeed! If he remained where he
wits tho Indies would be sure to see
him, and if he sought safety in flight
il was equally impossible for him to
escape detection. What should be
do? Ah, happy thought ! there was
tree, and if he could only manage to
climb that unobserved he might se
crete himself among the branches, and
tho thick moss and leaves
"With friendly ruiee
Would bide hia form from prying eyea.''
No sooner said than done, and be
ing careful to keep tho body of the
tree between himself and the girl,
our young friend, in loss limo thun it
takes to write it, wus snugly stowed
awuy in tbe lop of tho tree, and wuit
ing very impatiently for the young
ladies to go by. Unfortunately, how
ever, in the hurry und excitement of
tho moment, he forgot his chillies,
which, lying on the bank, attracted
the attention of the girls, and, wilh
tho proverbial curiosity of their sex,
they must come nearer to see if they
could not unravel Ihe seeming mys
tery. Approaching Ihe foot of tho
tree they soon discovered what the
mysterious bundle wus, and became
lost In conjoctiiro as to how a man's
clothing, without the man, should
happen to be in that sequesterod spot.
They gave freo play lo llieir imagina
tion und their tongues, and not a few
were the jokes and laughs in which
ihey indulged w hile submitting the
garments to a critical examination
Mutters, however, did not look so fun
ny lo our "man tip the tree," and
fearful of being discovered, ho resolv
ed lo change hi base and secure a
belter position. In doing this he in
advertently threw bis whole weight
on a dead limb, nnd in the tw inkling
of an cyo he came down w ith a thun
dering crush and hi- sprawling on his
buck right between the startled girls.
There were Iwo piercing shrieks, a
smothered oath, and hasiily picking
himself up, tho poor fellow fled wilb
all possible speed in ono direction,
while Ihe young ladies were equally
ns himblo in getting away front so
dreadful a sight in another. Return
ing niter the coast wu clear, our hero
resumed his t-loihin, und straight
way went to his home, where, shortly
alter, a note wns handed him from his
fiunce, decliiring I heir engagement to
he nt end. If uny of our reader are
spoiling for a fight, thoy can easily

Husband and Wifo.
Ihd you ever hear tho word "hus

the band of ihe house, the support of
il, tho person w ho keeps together, as a
hand keeps together a sheaf of corn.
There are many married men who are
not husbands, lieesuso they aro not
Ihe band of the house. In many
cases tho wifn i tho husband; for
oflon time il is sho who, by bcr pru
dence, nnd thrift, und economy keeps
the house together. The married man
w ho by his dissolute habits, strip hi
house of all comforts, is nol a husband,
for he is not a hnuse IjiihJ ; instead of
keeping things together, he scatters
lliein among l lie pawn-brokers.
