But no proposal was made. \ dark thought
finally crossed the Young woman'S mind that

led it down stairs. and thruStng it inside,
closed the door: locked it. and hurried up
stairs. The same evening her lover came:
they sat chatting together. but no mention
was made of the little absentee. The next

the mother went softly down and listened at
the door The quick ear of the child caught
her mothers step, and she implorcd her to
take her out OF that dark pace-she was SO
cold and hungry. No answer was returned
and the mother crept quietly up stairs. In the
evening the lover came again. They took
supper together. and passed a social evening
After the second twenty .our hours had pass

To shave, or not to shave (; the question is,
Whether It's better on the human phiz,
To let accumulation Of our hair
Cover the chins and lips which now are bare !;
Or TO continue still to scrape away
The hrsule ornament from day 10 day
To laiher, shave, perchance TO wash the
Ay, there's the rub for, in this latter case
What mis'ry's ours 'Tis this must give us
pause,
And make US rather lei alone our jaws,
Than by continuance in the barb'ious use
Cut, scratch, and lacerate them like The
deuce. t.. ..f .
For il it actually were the case,
That Nature never meant the face
To be so teased aud tortured as it is
Ii so 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 men be seemingly intent
On trying to prove nature was Ounce,
And did not know her trade Why hot at
once
Pluck ont the eyebrows and extract the nails,
And shave the heads of females and the
males?
Strange Ills men should worship fashion, so
As TO he willing thus TO undergo
The pain of shaving rather than permit
Mous,ache aud beari 10 grow as they think
fit.
How singular that men sh0uld still delight
In toriuring their faces; when they might
Themselves their comfort, ease and health
obtain,
By vow they will never shave again
But It's The dread OF ridicne and scorn
Makes the foul fashion easy to be borne.
Thus custom OF us all doth towards make;
And for this savage custom, !hen, we take
The trouble and the pains our chins TO NOV,
Because it is the fashion 10 do so.
But this our chins will soon no more, hope,
Be la,her'd o'er with the pale snde of soap.
Soon shall moustache and beard once more
on all
Our chns wag melrily. in streer, and hall!
