The fact is—nnd I own it With humilia tion—l' was not up to Julia's level. To be sere, I had a nice snug little business in the drapery, pin and needle, note-Paper, lsttoott; and general line at our village, but surely Julia was not the girl to-be influenced by such a consideration, and besides, she bad a good business and a hundred and fifty pounds-of her own.

Julia and -I - had agreed that our wedding should be as quiet as pos-' Bible; and it had.been arranged that I should walk alone to the church, while she should proceed thither in a carriage, accompanied only by an uncle and a younger 'sister. My way to the church lay by Julia's-door, and, so much was I engrossed by thoughts of the coming ceremony, that it was not Until ilia arrived nt. amt. point, that Lilo. eight of a barber's pole on tlui opposite side of tho way, reminded me that I had not yet boon shaved. • I glanced at Julia's window„ but I was so early that no ono was .visiblo,- and there was as yet no sign of a earring° at the door. I looked at my watch, and stopped into the barber"s shop.

It seemed as if he did not hear me either ; seating myself in a chair in the middle of tho shop, and placing my hat on a form, I said, in a mild tone of voice: " 1 want a shave if you please." The barlior did not move, and the oxpros aion of his ountonance—as far as could .bei inferred from an inspection of the back of of his head—was one of melancholy abstrac tion. - Again I said; in a somewhat louder tone "/ will trouble you to t 'shave me, _if you please." Still tho harbor did not move. . Surprised at this; I called out in a sharper inannur : "I wont a shavc!"- The barber, with a cal - Thus-indifference to all precedent," remained unmoved. raneied he limn. bmdear, and next time concentrated all the power of my lung,-- which would have othcrwise boon difrased over a whole sentence—into a most emphatic. pronolmeiatioli of one Shave; !"
