70 shave, or not to shayel the question is,
Whether 'ts better on the human phiz
To let accumulation Of our hair
Cover the ehins and lips which now arc bare;
Or to continue still to scrape away
The hirsute ornament from day TO day
10 lathcr shave, perchance to cash the face
Ay, there 5 the rub; for, in this case,
What mis'rys oursl Til this must give us pause
And make az rather let alone our jaws,
Than BY continuance in the barbarous use
Cut, scratch and laceratc them like the deuce
For if it actually were the case,
That Nature never meant the human i4oe
To be 20 tcased and tortured as !, IS
SO, shy, 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 irvine to prove Nature was Ounce,
And lid 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 7 is that man should worship fashion, so
As to be willing thus to undergo
The pains Of shaving, rather than permit
Mousiachc and beard to grow as they think fit
How singular, that men should still delight
In torturing their faccs, when they might
Themselves their comfort, ease and health obtain
By vowing they will never shave again!
But I is the dread Of ridicule and scorn
Makes the foul fashion easy to be borne,
Thus custom OF us all doth towards make;
And for this savage custom, then, we take
The trouble and the pains our chins 10 NOW,
Because it is the fashion to do so.
But thus our chins will soon no more, I hope,
BE lather'd DER with the pale suds Of soap;
Soon shall moustache and beard once more on all
Our chins wag merrily in street and hall!

The Scottish parson was betrayed into more
puns than he meant TO make, when he prayed for
the Council and parliament, that they might
hang together in these trying times. A coun-
tryman standing by, cried out
Yes, with all my heart, and the sooner the
better; IT'S the prayer OF all good people
'Dnt my friends, said the parson, 4 don't
mean as the fellow does but pray they may
all hang together in accord and concord
No matter what cord the fellow sung oul

milk is the principal object, it is important to
dispense with oxen. A horse or two we must
have 10 90 to market, meeting or mill, and with
a horse and two or four COWS, all the work Of
such farms may be conveniently performed
These suggestions may seem to some as of lit
tlo value. but there certainly can be no harm in
a consideration of the subjsct.-N. r. Farmer.

NO one should think Of getting likeness Of
themselves or friends until they have examin-
ed those CRYSrALOTYPE & ANiBROTYPPES
taken by j. l.. a. III. NJ. LOWELL.
The Crystalotype is first taken upon Glass and
is then transferred to paper in unlimited numbers,
as from copper plate BY this process we are
enabled with the Daguerreotype instrument, tc
produce on paper, views of Landscapes, Residences
copy Daguerreotypes, and take Portraits from life
with the unerring hand Of nature, rivaling in
beauty the finest Eugrayings.
The Ambrotype, very beautiful picture, is ta-
ken upon Glass and finished in such way that
they are unaffected by acids, and can lay in water
for months without injury, being perfectly air tight
as we'll as water proof
Both of the above are truly wonder Of the
Aotinographic art
We still take all the various styles Of the ordna-
ry Daguerreotype and we iatter ourselves that
they not inferior to any produced in city or
