A kind of contract is immediately' entered into, by which the young. man binds himself to the father as a servont for a term of years, at the expiration of which time he can have his pleasure of learning whether the daughter will hoye ;him or not. In this manner, if, the father b 3 the happy possessor of lbeautiful dough t 3r, he may have half a dozen men rea dy to do his bidding at one time:. • • When the term 'of servitude expires, one of the larger youths is selected, and all the old women of .the place, arnica with 'sticks and pieces of seal-thong, are stationed in the'. prologs suspended a.: round the room. The daughter , then ap pears, thickly clad in skin garments, fol lowed by her lover, when a race ensues a round the enclosure, the contestants dodg 7 ing along the. prologs. To win his. bride he must overtake her, andleave the print of his nail upon her person before she can be rescued by the old. woman, who du ring the race, impedes the lover as much as possible by beating him with sticks and tripping him by seizing his legs as he rushes by them the advantage is all with the girl, and if she does not Trish to become . the wife of her pursuer, she • can avoid him without difficulty, On:theefin trary,lf - she likes 'Min she- manages tb stumble, or makes known her wishes , to the old woman, who then only make .I'n show of, impeding her pursuer. Some times the lover is so. desperately smitten that, after being foiled, he returns to the father and binds himselt for another pe .riod of years for the privilege of making another trial. Front "Reindeers, Dogs, and Snowshoes," by Richard J. Bush Why A Dutchman -did not:have a Clock There is residing in one of the bor der cities • of the Commonwealth of Ken tucky a German barber, who is quite a charaeter in his way. The fellow does not appear to recognize any distinction whatever among the people with whom he comes in contact. If the Governor of the State were to step in his shop to get shaved, the probabilaty is that he would open a familier conversation with him, and call him by his christian name before the job were ended. - Not long ago Col. James, T. a prominent citizen of the .place desiring to curtail the hairy por tion of his visage, called , upon the teuton aforesaid to engage his professional 'servi ces. It seems that the Colonel was known to the lathering knight, and of course was the recipient of much confidential remark during the operation which produced the usual feeling of annoyance. As he was about leaving the shop, the razor-strapper called to him : `,Hello, Yim told me cot time it is yore you goes away," This was too much for the Colonel's dignity, and turning .sharp ly around remarked : "Dem you, why don't you keep's -clock, and not bother every gentleman that come into yoarshopr "Hold on dere," replied the Teuton, "come you back, Yin, gust one minute and I told you how it was dat I don't got any glock.' The request Father ex cited the 'Colonel's curiosity; and he of course waited for the explanation.
