TIIE WORLD, A BARBER SHOP.
Oar notions lightly knitted up,
No one a doubt can harbor,
That all the world s a barber sh op,
And every man a barber.
Tho farmer, he's a barber's friend,
And ready, in a trice, sir,
To lather with a recommend,
And shave us with price, sir.
Mechanics, they arc barbers, all,
Nor lackeys at the play, sir,
They lather when for work they call,
And share us for the pay, sir.
The doctor, he's a barber, too,
lie lathers with a pill, sir,
And, many applicants or few,
lie shaves us with a bill, sir.
The merchant, he's a barber, too,
And who than him surpasses ?
He lathers with fine calico.
And shaves the beardless lasses.
Our Congress members lately have
Assumed the barber's station,
And. without lather tried to shave
With double compensation.
But. of all the suds-bedaubing host,
With razors whet the keenest.
The lawyer lathers folks the most,
And shaves mankind the cleanest.
From Porter's N. Y. Spirit of the Time3.
BOB GRANT'S COURTSHIP.
Reader, have yon ever travelled by steam
boat on any of oar Western rivers J If soy
you have bad the greatest opportunity to 'pick
up items or, in other words, to hear stories,
or to be present at the "spinning of hard
yarns," if it suit you better, in the known
world. Everybody must tell a story, and then
everybody else must tell one to match ; and so
it goes from morning till night, and from night
till morning, unless tho boat should happen to
sink, or the boiler burst. No accident that is
not great enough to stop the machinery, can
atop the "spinning" machines.
Not long since, I was taking a trip on one
of our rivers, when, as might well be expect
ed, I was treated to a large number of racy
anecdotes, in most of which the narrators
themselves held the most conspicuous posi
tion. In the number was one about Bob Grant
and his Courtship, which aUordcd no little
merriment. I will give it just as I received
It, as near as possible
"Your story reminds me of one Bob Grant,
whom I once knew, and I mar say with whom
I was very intimate," said the old gentleman
to whom I am indebted tor tho yarn. "Bob
was a queer fellow, and rather green withal,
and what was still worse, very bashful when a
mong the ladies. One day, I gave him a lec
turing about his stupidity told him it would
never do that he was rapidly approaching
that period when he would be looked upon as
an old bacLclor, and be despised by all the
gentler sex. I saw it made a deep impression
on him, so I went on :
"Yon had better drop those old Lachclor no
tions, Bob, and get you a wile, before it is e
ternally and everlastingly too late !' "
Bob blushed deeply looked in all direc
tions to see that no third person was in hear
ing, and then said :
"To tell you the truth, Arch, I have been
thiukicg something about the matter ; but who
is there that I could get to have rne ?"
'Pshaw! you are talking nonsense now,"
said I. "There are plenty of them, if you
would only scrape up courage enough to ask
them. For instance, there's Mell Stinson
how would she suit?"
"She'd suit to a T, Arch. But you don't
pretend to say I could get Mell ; do you ?"
'Get Mell ! Why, yes, certait.ly I do ; and
I would not be afraid to bet a hundred dollars
a it, y you'd olIv- try," said I.
This was a new idea to Bob, and he was tick
led almost to death with if. After thinking a
moment, during which time his face was illu
minated with one of his broadest grins, he
ventured to ask me how I would proceed, if I
were in his place, and wanted to get Mell. I
gave him full directions, after which he start,
ed home as happy as a jaybird, promising to
go and see Mell the very next Saturday night.
Bob was as good as his word. Saturday
night came, and he went over to old man San
son's. Mell was at home, and guessing his
business, made herself very agreeable. Bob's
courage raised fifty per cent, and so, as soon
as the folks had retired, he commenced his
first corfttship. To begin he found a disagree
able task ; but when once the ice was broken,
ho felt like a new creature. Mell smiled so
bewitchingly upon him, and said so many
charming things. Never before had he known
hours to fly so rapidly, or moments to be spent
so pleasantly. Who could wonder at it ? for
Mell would lean ber pretty head down on his
shoulder, when be joked her about her beaux,
or about getting married. Oh, what a dear
creature he soon began to think she was!
How le almost cursed himself for having pass
ed so much of his life in ignorance of such
bliss.
Before Bob had scarcely time to think, and
long before he had come to the point, the old
clock struck twelve, and Mell reminded him
that it was time to retire.
"But I have not told you all I wish," said he.
"You can come again next Saturday night."
he replied, with a most fascinating smile.
This was capital. Permission to come again !
He agreed to retir?. Mell told him where he
could sleep; aud then, as is the custom in
some of the Western States, brought a pot
of warm water that he might wash his feet.
The.pot was an old-fashioned one big at the
bottom and little at the top so very little at
the top, that Bob viewed it with some misgiv
ings, lest it should refuse to admit his feel.
Not feeling willing to call Mell's attention to
the enormous size of these latter-named arti
cles, ha hauled of! his shoes, and with one des
perate thrust, lodged both feet on the bottom
of the vessel. Capital luck, thought he, as he
sat bathing them. Mell sat near by, waiting
for him to get through, that she might remove
the pot- At length, the clock struck one.
Bob did not seem to notice it, but sat with both
feet in tho pot, apparently in a brown study.
"It fa one o'clock," said Mell, by way of a
hint.
Y, im said Bob, but still kept en
wHb his bethinf .
Two, and then three, were sounded from the
old bell, still Mr. Grant paid no attention to it,
but maintained his position in silence, appa
rently resolved to bathe his feet all night.
Mell's patience finally wore out, and she said,
arising from her chair :
"Mr. Grant, you can retire when you choose.
I am going to bed."
"Hold on !" said Bob, "hold on a minute.
What's the price of this here pot ?"
"What do you mean V she asked, vastly
astonished.
"I mean, by thunder ! I'm a goin' to break
this pot ; and I'd like to know the price ol it.'
"Father! father!" screamed Melt, "come
here, quick ! Mr. Grant's gone mad ! Quick!
!"
In an instant, the old man was with them,
nerved and prepared for a desperate struggle.
Flow sadly disappointed ! Instead of finding
Mr. Grant a laving maniac, as he had expect
ed, he found him sitting very quietly, with
both feet fast in the pot. The warm water had
caused them to swell, so as to become immov
able. By the united efforts of the three, be
was at length extricated ; but no words could
induce him to remain till morning. He start
ed for home forthwith.
Bob Grant is now an old man, as well as my-,
self, and not more than thiee weeks ago, he
told me Jthat that was his first and last court
ship. lie never could scrape up courage e-
nough to go back.
Delhi. A wall of gray stone, strengthened
by the modern science of English engineers,
and nearly seven miles in circumference, sur
rounds the city upon three sides, while the
fourth is defended by a wide offset of the Jum
na, and by a portion of the high, embattled,
red stone wall of the palace, which almost e-
quals the city wall in strength, and is itself
more than a mile in length. Few cities in the
East present a more striking aspect from with
out. Over the battlements of the walls rise
the slcndjr minarets and shining domes of the
mos'jues, the pavilions and the towers of the
gates, the balustradcd roofs of the higher and
finer houses, the light foliage of acacias, and
the dark crests of tall date-palms. It is a new
city, only two hundred and twenty-six yer.rs
old. Shah Jehan, its fouuder, was fond of
splendor in building, was lavish of expense,
and was eager to make his city imperial ia ap
pearance as in name. The great mosque that
he built here is the noblest and rcost beautiful
in ail India. His palace might be set in com
parison with that of Aladdin ; it was the fulfil
ment of an Oriental voluptuary's dream. All
that Eastern taste could devise of beauty, that
Eastern lavisbnesa could fancy of adornment,
or voluptuousness demand of luxury, was
brought together and displayed here. The
city stands partly on the sandy border of the
river, partly on a low range of rocks. With
its suburbs it may contain about one hundred
and sixty thousand inhabitants, a little more
than half of whom are Hindoos, and the re
mainder nominally Mahometans, in creed. A
round the wall stretches a wide, barren, irreg
ular plain, covered, mile after mile, with the
ruins of earlier Delhis, and the tombs of the
great or the rich men of the Mahometan dv-
nasty. There is no other such monumental
plain as this in the world. It is as full ot tra
ditions and historic memories as ot ruins ; and
in this respect, as iu many others, Delhi bears
a striking resemblance to Rome, for the Ro
man Campagna is the only field which in its
crowd of memories may be compared with it,
and the imperial city of India holds in the Ma
hometan mind much the same place that Rome
occupies in that of the Christian.
Catacombs Great Deposits of Phosphate
or Lime. The term 'catacombs,' given to the
depositories of the dead, is said to have been
first applied to the tombs of the carlv Chris
tian martyrs of Rome. Some catacombs are
very ancient, such as those of Thebes in Egypt,
built more than three thousand years ago.
The most famous modern catacombs are those
ot I'aris, which extend under that city, over
a space of two hundred acres. Thev wore
formed out of subterranean quarries, which in
1 4 77 were set aside for this purpose by the
government. Their wide entrances had but
to be walled up, and proper doors made, and
they were ready for their intended purpose
1 he bones of the dead from the various old
cemeteries around Paris were then conveved
in carts during the night and deposited in tJiem
Since then the bones of tho victims of the Rev
olutions, from 1789 to 1830, have also found
a place there. In these depositories of the
dead, huge piles of human bones, from which
all the animal matter had decayed before they
were placed therein, are now reduced to phos
phate of lime, the most valuable of all fertill
zing materials. They emit no smell whatever;
persons may walk through long avenues sur
rounded with these memorials and remains ot
former generations without feeling the least
disagreeable odor.
Buried Timber. There are many indica
tions which go to prove that some parts of
New Jersey are gradually sinking. Thus, in
several of the salt marshes, great quantities of
cedar timber is found at some distance below
tue surrace, and qnite a number of persons
find employment in raising it for making cedar
shingles. This timber in a'.l likelihood grew
on me spot where it is now found submerged
as m some places in these marshes, there are
still standing trees" (withered and bare) which
at some period, when the waters did not rise
as high as now, flourished in green luxuriance
Forever. An orthodox Yankee express
es himself as follows, concerning eternity :
'Eternity! why don't you know the meaning
of that word 1 Hoi I either, hardly. It
forever and ever, and five or six everlasting
atop of that. Yon might place a row of fig
nres from here to sunset, and cipher them up
and it would not begin to tell how many ages
long eternity is. Why, my friends, after
millions and trillions of years have passed away
in tne morning of eternity, It would be a hnn
drtd thousand T64rS t0 breakfaet time."
E3COCKTE& WITH A. Beae. Robert I.
Church, of West Mills, Industry, Me., pub
lishes the following in The Maine Farmer :-
"While returning from tho upper part of
Moosehead Lake, where I had been lumbering,
and when in the vicinity of Mount Kineo,
which lies on the western shore of the lake,
I beard a cracking noise in bushes before me.
It was some moments before 1 ascertained
that the noise was caused by a large moose
which was browsing. I silently drew up my
piece and fired at his nose, which I could just
see through the bushes, but apparently with-
out effect, as he made off at full speed. 1
pursued him about one hundred rods, when,
in passing around an abrupt point of a ledge
which hid him from my sight, I suddenly
, u- u
lound myself confronted ly a large bear which

I had no disposition to follow him. I have
followed hunting in the winter season for the
1 j . .u,i.,
last ten years, and am accustomed to all dan-
gers incident to the business, but do not again
covet a close hug- with a bear. I was not
materially iniurcd except my hand and arm,
which were considerably lacerated."
A Terrible Family. James Nichols, who
is said to have wantonly killed Frank Grier,
in Pittsylvania county, Virginia, is reported I
to have killed his own mother, a few years ago
Another brother, by the name of Arnold, is
supposed to have shot his father and killed
him, and Burwcll, a still older brother, killed
Daniel Ashwell. Strange to say, not one of
them has been punished.
Boe.v to Good Luck. Mr. John Martin of
London, is being put in possession of the "Jen
ncn's property," which for so very long a pe
riod has been without a recognized heir. The
cash he inherits amounts to the gigantic sum
of $80,000,000, while his income will be $1,
200,000 per annum. That is something like
a fortune. The luckv inheritor has been
wretchedly poor all his preceding life.
The XcwbeTy (N. C.) Rising Sun contains
a long article intended to prove that "the negro
race is inferior, in a marked degree, to the
white races which inhabit this country.'!
Whereupon the Washington Republic con
cludes that it is a great folly to attempt, as the
South is doing to spread this inferior race over
our own vast territories.
A Home Thrust. An old toper, in the last
stages of thedropsy, was told by his physician
hat nothing would save him but being 'tap
ped." Ilis son (a witty little shaver) objected
to this operation, saying, "Daddy, daddy, don?t
submit to it, for you know there was never
anything tapped in our house that lasted more
than a week."
UrDROPiiOBiA. A man was cured of hydro-
hobia in Italy lately, by swallowing vinegar,
n mistake for a medical potion. A physician
at Padua heard of this, and tried the remedy
on a patient 5 he gave him a pint of vinegar
in the morning, another at noon, and a third
at sunset, which cured him.
