THE STORY OF BLUE BEARD.
DONS 7W TUE "FAT CONTRIBUTOR."
A long time ago, before the invention of
hair dye, when a man had to wear his beard
the color that nature , made it, whether he'
would or not, there was a:man who made
himself, enormously rich as a whiskey in
spector, or something of that sort. I don't
know precisely where he lived, but think be
lived mostly in the imagination.
He run a great castle, on the European
plan, had horses and run them, and in fact
run about everything in his neighborhood,
including running for office and with the
girls, for at the time of which I write he was
a gay widower. Ile had great quantities of
greenbacks, corner lots, oil stock, bonds, and
things, but lie - Was hideouslit.ugly, and had
withal an enormous blue beard, frightful to
contemplate, which gave to him the cogno
men, of Blue Beard, by which he wa • known
to the eQuntry round about, as well as in the
country that bad laid off its round-about,
and consequently was in is shirt-sleeves. •
Blue beard grew weary of living in soli
tary magnificence In his lordly castle, and
finding that he was getting bluer and bluer
every day, be. determined to marry. Having
.been married half a dozen times—taken half
a dozen raw,, as one might say—he was nat
urally quite miserable when deprived of the
.gentle inffuences of the fair sex , for any
length Of time.
One of his neighbors was a widow lady,
who had two very beautiful and highly ac
complished daughters. Thet could play the
piano, harp and - seven-up, and work em
broidery and Planchette elegantly.
' To' this widow lady Blue Beard applied
for the hand and general anatomy of one of
her daughters, leaving her to decide which
one she would give him. Although the
"stamps" he had pleided loudly",in his favor,
as they do, yet, although this was a great
many ye , rs ago, yet that dreadful beard was
against him, and neither of the 'ytarag wo
men desired to have it against - her. Blue
wasn't fashionable fo; beardei , bif it had
been it might have been different. One
of the 1. wept bitterly becattie it would be
several hundred years yet before hair-dye
would be discovered so That he could have
his wilnikers colored., .1 •
Another circamstanee rendered theft Ah 3,
of him. He was having, a wedding 'every
once and a while at, the castle, but no funer,
els! Wedding cake.had bien ordered from;
the colifectioner's ; several times, but no up
dertaker had'had a jolYthere yet. •No matter
how many times man is left a widower,lf
he correspondingly patronizes some respect
able - ctener of a 'hearse, but !elicited wed
lock without funerals is certainly 'a suspicious'
circuinstance,' . ,
Blue. Beard 'clinningly , itivited the 'family
an their friend's to the castie.where they
passed a week , sodelightfully 'that the young;
estAwthter s began- to 'think 'blue-was a , pret
ty good color• for whiskers'after all, particu
larly When their popessor . could keep Buell
an esublishinent as. that; besides a lunch
every-morning from'ten.o'cliiek until eleten.•
She looked with contempt on , red•wbisker
ed beau.of hers, ahe 'used to think "perfectly
.splendid," and actually asked him why he
didn't "rub iraigo into 'coil" 'The upshot
of the Wittiness was,she consentedta becOme
Mrs. B. Beard, and the wedding Was cele
brated with greet eclat!
At the expiration of the- honeymoon, Blue
Beard pretended to his wife that business of
importance called him away to a distant city.
'Be would be .absent for several weeks, and
in the meantime she could invite company
and enjoy herself as much as possible. Re
gave her a b;: nett of keys, enabling her at
any time tb open his ssfe, and least her eyes
on the diamonds, (he loaned Money on "col
lateral," sometimes,), greenbacks, seven-thir
ties, revenue stamps and receipted gas hills
deposited there—also giving access to the
wine cellar, store room, picture gallery, bil
hard morn, ten-pin alley, corn house, &c., &c.
But one little key•opened a room in the base
tnent•that she riurit not approach 'save upon
her peril. She promised, and he took. a
street ear for the depot. --
From the time that Mother Eve disregard
ed the, injunction against a certain tree in
Eden's ore .ard and partook'of a Rhode Is
land pippin, thereby, introducing various'
things in the world never before dreamed of,
curiosity has been an absorbing passion with
the fair sex, and we need hardly inform the
intelligent •reader that her husban was
hardly out of sight before Mrs; B. B. had un
locked•the door of the forbidden room.
But 'what -a spectacle met her affrighted
gaze l There, suspended on, hooks like so
many gowns in a clothes press, were the
bUdies. of the murdered Mrs. Blueard's,
44t 0
whose - funerals had been indefinite 3
poned, white the floor was clotted wit eir
blood I She would have swooned, but the
phrase wasn't known at that time. Terribly
agitated, she dropped the key on the floor,
staining it with blood, which she wir after
;ward unahl to wash out; even with the aid
of a patent wringer.
Blue Beard returned unexpectedly, as
everybody might have expected, and the
blood upon the key told the story if his
wife's disobedience!, for blood, you know,
"will tell."
"Must I," he cried, wringing his hands •in
anguish, "must I again become a widower,
and so soon? After one short month of
wedded bliss (drawing his, cuneter and care
fillip feeling its• edge) must this latest and
dearest one lie torn from my arms and I left
alone—alone? , 80-Lo•ho-oo !" • .
'',Not if I can help it," remarked Mrs. B. to
herself.
n never nursed a dear gazelle." Blue
Beard blubbered, as ho proceeded. to whet
his scythe oo the stove hearth, "to glad me
with its soft black eye, bat when It came to
krow me well- r "
"Now, Blue Beard, I don't want to dle."
"Prepare !" yelled 'Mae beard enraged that
,she did not'at once accept ihasituation.
"Since I must die." said she, "grant me 'a
quarter of an hour in which to write a fare
well letter to the T ress."
Be could not refuse so reasonable a re-:
Attest, so he granted it-although he was not
ordinarily a Grant man. Going to her room
she told her sister Anna to ascend to the top
of the towe and see if her brothers (who,
supposing Blue Beard away, were coming to
smoke up his' cigars and drink up his
whiskey) were yet in sight. There was
a cloud of dust in the ro -d, but it was only
a flock of sheep on their way to the State
I-Fair. . -
"Time's up!" shou . cd Blue Beard who
didn't dunk much of writing letters to news

The office of the Freednien's Bureau r
Greehsboro; the other day, ordered a negro
cuuple,who had been brought before him,to be
taken before a Squire and married, for ob
vious reason. The Justice, after explaining
the duties and Obligatloni, requested them to
join hands. I
Bride—"l isn't'gwine to de. it; I doesn't-
Want to hab rt ffin to'do avid dat nigger."
• Groom—"l Lin't ticular bout marryin wid
do Ma: I nebber lubbed dot piggar."
• • This protest opened the Squire's eyes like
"Sill moons in the - harvest." Ile asked 7 what
,was the rneanineof it. Just, then a repre
sentadve of the Bureau stepped in add in
formed the Justice that they were ordered
by the Bureau officer to be married, and that
he had come to see the sentence executed.
With this understanding, the Justice told the
happy couple to join hands, Which they did,
after much persuasion, and, the following
'scene occurred : . •
Justice—"Do you hike this Min to be
your wedded husband, to 10 - e, honor, obey;
&e. ,
Bride="No I doesn't, not much I doesn't ;
I wouldn't hab a four acre lot ob such

Freedmen's Bureau—"Yee, we do, Squire.
We take him ; go on with the ceremony."
Justice—" And do you take this woman
to be your wedded wife, t o love, cherish,

Groom—"l told you dat I wasn't ticular ;
I Isn't hankering arter de crow. I can lib

her—of course we do ; suits us to allspice.
Hurry up the cakes."

Self. Made Men.
the maxim that "every man is the archi
tect of his own fortune," has been trikingly
verified and illustrated in the history of
American.stateamen. We find the following
collection of facts Tepreseuting some of our
great men, that may prove intsresting:
Very few of the fathers of our Bepu blic
were the inheritors of distinction. Wash
ington was almost the only gentleman by
right of birth in all the astonishing company
of thinkers and actors. Two or three Vir
ginians, John Jay. of New York, and - half a
dozen meaner men from other provinces were
exceptions. But Franklin was a printer's
boy; Sherman a shoemaker. Knox a book
binder ; Green a blacksmith ; John Adams
and Marshall, the sons,of poor farmers; and
Hamilton, the most subtle, fiery and electri
cal, but at the same time the most composed
and orderly genius of all, excepting the tin:
approachable Chief, was of as humble - pa-
rentsge as the rest, and himself at begin
ning a clerk or shop keeper- ° And if we
come down to a later period, Daniel, Webster
was the son of a country farmer, and was'
rescued from the occupation of a drover °sty
by the shrewd observation of Christopher
G 're,-whom he calledtpon for advice in res
pect to a difficulty arising froth the Sale of a
pair of steers; and John C. Calhoun was the
son of a tanner and currier; the father of
L Henry Clay belonging to the poorer class of
Baptist' ministers ; Martin Van Buren,-dur
ing the fitful leisure-of the Martin,_
pine
'knots to light' hii evening studies; Thomas
Corwin was a, wagoner ; Silas Wright, by
heritage , n -- mechanist ; and many others
among ofir "tatesmen who receive - the ap
plause and reverence,.of mankind, passed
their earlier years at what; it:lather countries,
would be alinost impassable dishtiacea from
the eminences which they now enjoy. •
t
, Be.wry.- r ameline Painter says :-,What
is beauty, after all? Each eye makes it for
itself,You' think Smith's lady-love raw
' bolted ind hard featured. He calls her a
"magnifiCent woman," and wonders what
you see ha•your little angel with her baby
'face and 'stature. So it is the world over;
and yet, we would each give something to be
beautiful -after our own fashion. How the
,powders and lotions which are to bestow up
.on poor billions mortals skins of satin and
snow, and the hair dyes, and pomades, and
'cosmetics of all sorts sell, we need not men
tion to prove the facts, In France, old ladies
are even being; made over, at the cost of half
their fortunes. Heaven keep me from ever
catching a, glimpse of one of those enamel
led, dyed, and miserable old creatures after
their renovation by this way.
Yes, we all want to be beautiful; and, if
only ourc ideas of beauty were what they
should be, we might •accomplish our desire
easily. Meekness and love make all faces
pleasant: Were we good we should be
beautiful.
We ail feel this. There are plain creatures
so charming with the spar= le of coot hu
mor that we love them. There arc blemish
ed faces so sweat that they are pleasanter to
look upon than the most perfect. After all,
it is in the expression that an actual charm
lies. So that were some one•to promise the
secret of beauty for twenty-five cents and a
postpaid envelope, he would scarcely be eta
imposter, should he return the golden rule
with instrdctions to learn and practice it. if
we only could do• this earnestly andlrulj
for one generation, the next might wonder
whether it were ;not a'fable that such a thing
as ugliness was ever known upon old earth.
A Hxavrtteltentotol Womax.—We
would like to hear a good sound argument
against this woman's vcting: She lives near
Dowagiac, in Van Buren county, .in the
Western part of this State. Eighteen
months ago, dressed in man's clothes, she
bought 40 acres of land, and, promised when
her house was completed to reveal her name.
In a year and a half, with her own hands,
she has_ built a comfortable frame house ;
grubbed - out 14 acres of heavy oak,and made
them ready fur the plough, and chopped and
split rails, and constructed a fence_ that is
said to be the envy and admiration of the
neighborhood. She has eight acres sown
with wheat. She has dug "a superior ditch"
on one side of her land. - She furnishes her
neighbors with axe-he:ves and splint baskets.
She dug up a. tree, sawed some runners out
with a hand saw, and manufactured a pair of
"bob-sleds." She hires a team of her neigh
bor; by doing extra work for them. Two
months after her arrival she wen , into her
new house and. out of her old clothes, and
said her name was Anna Starcy. In addi
tion to these' remarkable accomplishments,
and the conquest of the obstacles we have
mentioned, she has had pluck and deftness
enough to overcome% the disabilities of half
a century of age, and the loss of the use of
one leg below the knee. — Detroit Post.
