'HE SHAVER'S SOLILOQUY.
shave, or not to shave 1 the question is,
:bother 'tis better on the human phiz
::o lot accumulation of our hair,
:over the chins and lips which now are bare ;
Or to continue still to scrape away
The hirsute ornament from day to day—
To lather, shave, perchance to gash the face ?
Ay, there's the rub ; for in this case,
What mis'ry's ours! 'Tin this must give us pause
And make us rather let alone our jaws,
Than by continuance in the barbarous use
Cut, scratch and lacerate them like the deuce.
For if it actually were the ease,
That Nature never meant the human face
To be no teased and tortured as it is--
If so, I say, why then what business
Have mortals virtually to cry out
That Nature knew not what she was about
Why, since the beard was evidently meant
To grow, should man be seemingly intent
On trying to prove Nature was a dunce,
And did not know her trade? Why not at once
Pluck out the eyebrows and extract the nails,
And shave the heads of females and of males?
Strange 'tis that men should worship fashion so,
As to be willing thus to undergo
The pains of shaving, rather than permit
Moustache and heard to grow as they think fit
How singular, that moo should still delight
In torturing their faces, when they might
Themselves their comfort, ease and health obtain
By vowing they will never shave again
But 'Liu the dread of ridicule and scorn
Makes the foal fashion easy to be borne.
Thus custom of us all doth cowards make ;
And for this savage custom, then, we take
The trouble and the pains our chins to mow,
Because it is the fashion to do so.
But thus, our chins will soon oc;;tore, I hope,
Be lathered o'er with the pale suds of sonp •
Soon shall moustache and beard again on a ll
Our chins wag merrily in street and hall!

The Deaf Aunt and Deaf Wife.
I had an aunt coming to visit me for the
first time since my marriage, and I don't
know what evil genius prompted the wick
edness I perpetrated towards my wife and
my ancient relative.
'My dear,' said I to my wife the day be
fore my aunt's arrival, you know Aunt
Maty is coming tomorrow ; well, I forgot
to mention a rather annoying circumstance
with regard to her. She is very deaf ; and
although she can hear my voice, to which
she is accustomed, in its ordinary tones,
yet you will be obliged to speak extreme
ly bud in order to be heard. It will be
rather disagreeable, but I know you will
do anything in your power to make her
stay pleasant.
Mrs S. announced her determination to
make herself heard if possible.
I went to John who loves a joke
about as well as any person I know of,
and told him to be at the house at 6 P. M.
on the following evening.
I went to the depot next night with a
carriage and when I was on the way home
with my aunt, I said—
'Aly dear aunt, there is one rather an•
noying infirmity which Anna (my wife)
has, which I forgot to mention •before.—
She is very deaf; and although she can
hear my voice, to which she was accus
tomed in its ordinary tones, yet you will be
obliged to speak extremely loud in order
to be heard. lam very ferry for it.
Aunt Mary, in the goodness of her heart
protested that she rather liked speaking
loud ; and to do so would afford her great
pleasure.
The carriage drove up—on the steps
was my wife—in the window was Jolla

I handed my aunt out,—she ascended.
the steps.

my wife, and the policeman on the oppo
site sidewalk started, and my aunt nearly
fell down the steps.
'Kiss tne, my dear,' howled my aunt,
and the hall lamp clattered, and the win
dows shook •as with fever and ague. 1
looked at the window—John had disappear
ed. Human nature could stand it no lon
ger, I stuck my head in the carriage and
went into strong convulsions.
When I entered the parlor, my wife
helped aunt Mary to take elf her hat and
cape, and there eat John with his sober
face.
Suddenly 'did you have a pleasant jour
ney t' went my wife like a pistol, and John
T— nearly jnmped to his feet. , tat .
'Rather dusty,' was the response, in a
whoop, and so thu conversation continued.
The neighbors for blocks around must
have heard it ; when I was in the tMrd
story of the building. I heard every word,
In the course of the evening my aunt
took occasion to any to me—
'How loud your wife speaks, does it not
hurt her.'
I told her all deaf persons talked loudly
and that my wife being used to it, was not
affected by the exertion, and that my aunt
Mary was getting along very nicely with
her.
Presently my wife said softly—
'Alf, how very loud your aunt talks.'
'Yes,' said 1, 'all deaf persons do. You
are getting along with her finely; she
hears every word you say.' And I rather
think she
Elated by their success at being under

longs ; till everything on the mantel-piece
clattered again, and I was seriously afraid
ea nova eollesting in trout of the house,
But the end was near. My aunt being
of an inquisitiv. turn of mind, was desi
rous of finding out whether the exertion of
talking so loud wao not injurious to my
wife 6o
'Doesn't talking so loud strain your
lungs?' said she, in an unearthly whoop,
for her voice was riot as musical as it was
when she was young.
'lt is en exertion,' shrieked my wife.
Then why do you do it v was the an
swering scream
, Because you can't hear if don't,' squea
led my wife.
.What, said my aunt fairly rivalling a
railroad whistle this time.
I began to think it time to evacuate the
premises ; and looking around and seeing
Juhn gone I stepped into the back parlor,
and there he lay, flat on his back with bis
feet at right angles to his body. ro'l ng
from side to aide, with his face poked ,Into
his ribs, and a mast agonizing expression
of countenance, but not uttering a sound.
I immediately and involuntarily assumed
a similar attitude, and I think that from the
relative position cf our boots. and hands,
and our attempt to restrain our laughter,
apoplexy must have inevitably ensued, if
a horrible groan, which John gave vent to
in his endeavor to suppress his risibility,
had not betrayed our biding•place.
In rushed my aunt and wife, who by
this time comprehended the joke, and such
a scolding as I then got I never got before
l and I never hope to get again.
I know not what the end would have
been, if John in his endeavors to appear
respectful and sympathetic, had not given
vent to such a diabolical noise, something
between a groan and a horse-laugh, that
all gravity was upset, and we screamed in
concert.
I know it was very wrong, and all that
to tell such falsehoods ; but I think that
Mrs Opie herself would have laughed if
she had seen Aunt Mary's expression
when she was informed that her hearing

The Potato of the Future.
A correspondent of the New York Tri- 1
bune makes the following announcement :
SlR:—About a year ago I conceived the
idea of producing the mammoth size of the
petrified remains of plants, which we meet
with in the study of geology, by means of
an excess in supply of carbonic acid. I
constructed an iron vessel, in which I gen
erated carbonic acid gas by means of dren
ching limestone with vinegar. This I in
fused into the soil in a flower-pot in which
I had planted a potato. I did this daily;
also I put the flower-pot into an iron vessel
I filled with the carbonie acid, and covered
to prevent diffusion. At the end of about
six months the plant reached the height of
four feet, and bore a pale blossom. In a
week more the pot was split. [took out
the plant, and a single potato (beside the
remains of that I planted), of about eight
inches in diameter, was at the root. By
planting this and treating it in the canto
manner, I hope to obtain potatoes of the size
of a barrel.

The Beet Peed for Cowe.
The vegetable I wish to recommend as
the best, all things considered, for milch
oows in winter, is white fiat turnips; some
persons will object to the turnips because
it will affect the taste of the milk and but
ter. So it does if fed raw ; this can be a
voided by boiling. For each cow, boil half
a bushel of turnips soft, while hot add five
or six quarts of shorts, which will swell,
and you will get the worth of it. A mess
like this to a cow once a day will produce
more milk of a good quality than any oth.
er feed at the same cost. Turnips fed in
this way do not taint either the milk or
butter.
One thing in favor of turnips as feed for
cows is that they can bu sown in August,
or as late as September. I sowed some as
Tate as September last, which were very
fino. Turnips are also very profitable for
pigs, boiled in the same was as for cows.

MEDICAL ADVERTISEMENTS.
GREATEST MEDiOAL DISCO
VERY OF THE AGE.
Dr. Kennedy, of Doximry, hn.l discovered in one
of our common pa , tare weedy a remedy
that cures '
rrom, , 7 4al JD T)? 11:131M1,
tho worst scrofula down to a c annum pitopic,
lie has tried it in over 1100 welt, and never
failed except in too eases, (Lath tl under humor.)
Ile has tow in his pcssei.siun aver two hundred
certificates of its virtue, all within twenty miles
of Boston.
Two bottles fire warranted to cure u nursing
sore month.
One to three bottles will core tl e worst kind
of 'Pimples on the lace.
T oor three bottles will clear the system o
Bile.
Two bottles aro warranted. to cure the worst
case or Erysipelas.
Ono to two bottles are warranted to cure all
humor in the Eyes. _
Two bottles :ire warranted to cure running of
the ears owl blotches among the hair.
Four to six bottles are warranted to cure cor
rupt and running ulcers.
Oue bottle will cure scaly eruption of the
skin.
'fwo to three bottles are warranted to cora the
worst case of tingwc.rm.
Two to three Cottles ere warranted to mire the
most desperate ease of rheumatism.
TbrJerto fear bottles are warranted to cure the
salt rheum.
Five to eight bottles will cure the worst case
' scrofula. •
A benefit is always experienced from the first '
bottle, and n perlect cure is warrunted when the
above quantity is taken.
Reader, I peddled over a thousand bottles of
this in the vicinity of Boston. I knew the effect
of it in every ease. So sure as water will extin
guish fire, so sure will this cure humor. I never
sold a bottle of it but that sold another; after a
trial it always speaks for itself. There are two
tbings about this herb that appear to me surpri
sing ; first that it grows in our pastures, in seine
places quite plentiful, and yet its value has never
been known until I discovered it in l446—second
that it should cure all kinds of humor.
In order to give some idea of the sadden rise
and great popularity of the discovery. I will
state that in April, 1853, 1 peddled it nod sold
about six bottles per day—is April, 1854, I sold
over one thousand per Jay of it.
Some of the wholesale Druggists who have
been in business twenty and thirty years, say
that nothing in the nasal; of patent medicines
was ever like it. Th. re i> a universal praise of
it from all quarters.
In my own practice I always kept it strictly for
humors—but since its introduction as a general
family medicine, great and wonderful - virtues
have been found is it that I never suspected.
Several cases of epileptic lits—a dine se which
was always considered incurable, have been cu
red by a few bottles. it. what n merey if it will
prone effectual in all cases of that dreadful mal
atly—there are but few who have more of it than
I have. .
fiw of several cases of Dropsy, all of whou
aged people cured by it. Fur the rariotti tlisc:t•
see of the Liver, Ilvadarite, Dyspepsia
Asthma, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side, Dk.
cam., of tile Spine, and particularly in disease:
of the Kidneys, &e., the discovery has done
good than any medicine ever known.
No change of diet over necessary—eat the bes
you ran get and enough of it.
