SH4TOG OS THE PABK. Skimming o’er the streamlet, ' Gliding -o’er the pond, : Flirting o’er the river; . This is quite beyond Oldentime enjoyment; lleally itisnice, Quite exceeds description; Skating on the ice. Here the Old and youthful ! - Meet on common ground, Here the gay and handsome Evermore are found, , Here do fashion’s fairest,’ Bichest, gems abound; Sober life unheeding In the merry round. Clasping little fingers Or a tiny waist, How the pressure lingers To the willing taste; Casting loving glances ’Neath the moonbeam’s light, It’s halo but enhances The romantic plight. ©entlemen in heaver baating very well, In pursuit of yonder . Hashing city belle, Who, with airs and graces, Feigning some alarm, Slackened up her paces To take his proffered arm. "Oh! how smooth the ice is, What if I should fall!” "Never fear, my fair one, .1 am at your call;” This no sooner spoken In love’s tender tones, Than the ice is broken, A gallant she owns. Then comes Mistress Shoddy On her shiny skates, Close beside “nobody”— Here are worthy mates, Next, a jeweled dandy, Sporting a moustache, Evidently, handy To cut a killing dash. Here, a la “spread eagle,” Lies a prostrate form, Willing band to help it, Willing hearts so warm ; If ’twere some old matron, Would the gallant swains So swiftly rush to rescue With such tender pains ? •Tightly strapping skate on, Bubbing frozen toes, Putting some court-plaster On a broken nose, ■Knotting rainbow neck ties, Setting jaunty caps, fastening ribbon streamers, Adjusting all mishaps. There are little side scenes Kept from ladies’ eyes ; Could sbe see her escort It would cause surprise; Tippling in the bar room, Swearing at the cold, Criticising ankles In a manner bold. Never mind snob drawbacks, Never mind the frost, Whatsoe’er’s the fashion Is done at any cost; If,by chance, you stumble Tumble up again, Yon muat never grumble At yonr share of pain. Skimming o’er the surface Just as smooth as glass, Hand in hand we’re gliding, Side’by side we pass; Time'flles very swiftly, It is after, dark, , Really ’tls delightful— Skating on the park. MISERIES OF A BALD HEAD. By One Who Knows, In halcyon youth I rejoicedin a luxu riant crop of hair. It had the genuine hyperian curl, and was alike the admi ration of the girls and the envy of my own sex. I placed it in the hands of a barber at least once a day, and frequently oftener, keeping it constantly dressed according to the latest mode. It passed through all the changing style pre scribed byfashion—the smooth and glossy, the “roll under,” “massing,” “roughin,” &c. &c.—and it was con stantly familiar with barbers’ “dupe.” It was brushed, oiled, combed sham pooed perpetually. One day a friend informed me in a cold-blooded way that a thin spot was apparent.on the top of my head. By the aid of a couple of mirrors, when I reached my room, I discovered that it was but too true. .Soon.those.who had . beforeenvied me ‘my luxuriant hair feegan-to exclaim : with malicious satis faction—“ Why; you are getting bald— can’t you do-something for it?” I T shuddered at. the inevitable fact. I be caqae painfully sensitive with regard to that small, thin spot on the summit of my cranium—it was no bigger than a silver dollar—and imagined that every-- body was looking at it whenever I was uncovered. , My hair was thick all around it, and I contrived for some time to conceal the “damned spot” by an artful use of the comb. Like the fatal cloud that hung over Vesuvius, portending its eruption, “no. larger than a man's hand”—it gained rapidly in size, and I sought the aid of restoratives. I invested liberally in Wood's; but although Wood’s would dolor some, Wood’s wouldn’t do forme. I tried somebody’s Kathairon, but that . felled to put the hair on. I bathed my hair in cold tea, pickled in salt and Water, put it in training with train oil, rubbed the scalp with coarse brushes to' get up a circulation, sand-papered it, put on a coat of varnish, and in short, fol lowed-all the prescriptions for restoring the hair that I had read in the news- ' papers; or, been informed of by sympa thising friends; yet, singular as ifmay appear, my hair grew thinner and thin- Her under the treatment. I was soon compelled to part my hair low down on one side, and comb at up from the back of my head to cover the "wide space of shining scalp. After strug gling some timewithmy fete,l at length settled down to what seemed inevitable, and ranked myself among the ancient and honorabie fraternity of baldheads. ... Why not; get a wig?” suggested a Miend, one day. He recalled a number of fey acquaintances who covered their oare polls with other people’s hair; and ffd as life*’?*’ ttle y lllo °kedj ust asnatu '. felt a repugnance to “store hai.ti but I overcame it at length so fer - as to bpy a jind wore it. ’■ A^wig'.'jyfiftrepvSfehdS:' in constant oread of losing off-his • wig in the > pre sence of others, . No one would think of pnlling off my Wig intentionally, In fact,, I have' deliberately resolved that whoever does it dies—either on tue spot or at some subsequent period. Yet there MONDAY, 17.^^1866-^TRTPT/ETsTriiiEfe are accidents, such as the playfulness of .of a friend ;who is ignorant that yon wear a wig. (The more natural it is,the more danger, there: is oL it being pnlled oft in that way.) One icy Sabbath in January, meeting a crowd coming from church, my feet slid from beneath, and massa! I was on the cold, cold ground. .My hat flew off —also nay wig. The air was keen and piercing upon my bald' and shining pate, but I felt the hot blood mount to the very top of it as I saw a smile run along that long -line of chureh-going faces. A small boy handed me my wig with a grin, saying—“l say, mister, you’ve lost your'head.” I could have Heroded the . boy with fiendish satisfaction. •; ; I am a bachelor, yet fond of the sex and desirous of producing a good impres sion—hence I studiously conceal the fact that I wear another gentleman’s hair. I once courted a widow who had a mis chievous boy. She evidently favored me until oneday thelittlerascal climbed up the back of the sofa on which I was sitting in' a somewhat tender way with his mother, and pullefimy wig off. The widow fainted at the apparition I pre sented, and I rushedfrantically from the house. Another time I was seated at a card table with some ladies. My partner was a charming girl whom I fondly believed was- in love with me.- We were playing whist, which never fails to excite me greatly,partieularly if my partner makes a wrong play. As the game progressed I noticed all eyes upon me, some with wonder and others with-ill-suppressed merriment. j I cast a glance into a mirror opposite, and was horrified to perceive that in the excitement and abstraction of the game I had pushed my wig back until nearly the whole of my bald crown was revealed. My partner, the “rare and beauteous maiden,” has looked coldly upon me ever since,except when I have caught her laughing in her sleeve, and then I know she is recalling the ridicu lous figure I cut at the card table. I could fill a volume’with the story of myjmiseries and annoyances,but I think I have told you enough to satisfy you that a a very unhappy individual is the man with a bald head .—Cincinnati Times. Locha and Lock Slaking. The London Athenmum, in an article on the Resources of Birmingham, has the following about locks: The first patent for a new lock bears date 1774, by which instrument Robert Harron, of London, secured to himself the privilege of “constructing locks in which the security was effected by fixed wards, with the addition of lifting tum blers or levers,” Such is the merit of Barron’s lock that it is still in great de- as a secure and serviceable con trivance, although, since its firsiproduc tion, successive inventors have taken more than one hundred and twenty patents for novel locks, of which the most important are those known by the names of their respective inventors,Bra mah, Chubb and Hobbs. Joseph Bra mah’s lock,patented in 1784, was for more than two generations regarded as a con trivance that would baffle the cleverest mechanician who should venture to pick it.. For years a specimen of this beautiful arrangement was exhibited in the window of Mr. Bramah’s shop in Piccadilly, together with this placard: “Notice—The artist who can make an instrument that will pick or open this lock will receive two hundred guineas the moment itis produced.” The reward was not claimed till 1851, when an Ame rican mechanician named Hobbs, who had been drawn to the English metro polis by the Great Exhibition, saw the challenge, accepted it, and after a tough fight that lasted sixteen days, proved victorious. The success of Mr. Hobbs not only caused a lively excitement in the public mind, but for a time gave his lock a decided advantage in the market over the defeated Bramah, and also over the Chubb, which originally invent ed in 1818, had for more than thirty years divided public favor with Braham’s invention. That the Chubb has not lost its hold on public confi dence may be inferred from the fact that “Messrs. Chubb & Son manufacture about 30,000 locks per annum, the cheapest of which is sold at 10s, net, while many of them are worth from two to three pounds each.’’ It is almost needless to observe, that the distinctive and most valuable feature of the Chubb is its detector, i. e., the spring which renders the bolt immovable as Boon as the lock is tried with a false key. Like Bramah’s and Hobbs’s locks, they are made in series, each lock having its sep arate key, and all the locks of a series obeying a master key. So extensive are the combinations that it would be quite Sraeticable to make locks for all the oors of all houses in London with a dis tinct and different key to pass the * whole! A most complete series of locks was constructed some years ago, by the late Mr. Chubb, for the ; Westminster Bridewell. , It consists of 1,100 locks, forming one series, with keys for the master, .sub-master and warders. Among the seats of the South Staffor dshire lock trade, which supplies us with trumpery “pads” as well as unpickable “safeties,” Willenhall enjoys an unen viable celebrity for the cheapness and corresponding worthlessness of her wares. There is a familiar saying that “if a Willenhall locksmith happens to let fall a lock in the process of manufac ture, he does, not stay to pick it up, as he can make another in leas time.” The late Mr. G. B.Thorneycroft,whoresided at . Willenhall for; a time, was once taunted that sbme paedlocks were made in Willenhall which would only lock once; but when he was told the price, namely, two pence, he replied: “Well, it would be a shame if they did lock twice for that money.” The same arti cles are now being sold at one half-penny each! The average activity of the' whole district, is thus stated: “The total weekly production of locks in. the district is estimated as follows: Pad, 24,000 dozen; cabinet, fill and chest, 3,000 dozen; - rim; dead, mortise and drawback,3,ooo dozen; fine plated, 1,000 dozen, and secured levered lobks and other descriptions; 500 dozen; being an aggregate, production of 34,200 dozen of locks per week.” Of ooutse, a large proportion of that pro- - digious supply is absorbed by foreign I markets.- • : 1 Nobth CABomuAState Senate re fused taking action on the resolution setting - lOrth the, loyalty of the people of North Carolina, but referred them and’a resolution' introduced to-day by.
