Shaving-A Parody.
BY n. Q. MILLETT.

To shave, or not to shavep THAT'S the ques-
tioni
Whether tits nobler in the mind to suffer
The brushes, razors, duns of barber-shops,
Or to take arms against sea Of lather,
And with damask end It To shave, to now,
To reapp and by a shave to say we end
Our boards, and all the cruel pulls
That boards are heirs to. 'Tis consumma-
tion
Devoutly to be wished To shave, to shave,
And have barren face? All, there's the rub
For In that BARBER-ous state what colds may
come,
When we have shuffled off the heavy crop,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes our ornaments of SO long life.
For who would bear the cato -nine-tailed chin,
The bushy cheek, the bristly, smothered mouth,
The NICE yonng lady's "pish ?" the frequent
wrench,
The barbers' insolence "a slaughtering set -
The ribald jest by boys at our expense,
When he himself might his proud whiskers fall
With a bare razor. Who'd these beauties
sport,
To groan and sweat beneath mammoth load
But that the dread Of hairless faces thin,
That sterile plight from which there's no
relief .....
Until they grow again, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather wear the ills we have
Than to fly TO shavers that we know not of.
Thus fashion doth make LIONS of us all
And each young face of scarcely eighteen years
Is.softly shaded with IMPERIAL furz, s
And Phizes grand in Symmetry and hue
Are clad in hirsute drapery sublime
And lose the name of beardless.

Down Hill On the Run-In a few
short Chapters.
THE BRIEF HIsoRY OF MY FASHIONABLE
NEIGHBoR SMITH.

CHAPTER L.
How beautifully our neighbor Smith
lives" said my wife to me one morning
only three years ago, as was leaving for
my bark mill work, my regular round of
toll, my blind horse occupation, the daily
drudgery of selling goods at retail. |
had just left the breakfast table and lin
gered on the door step a second or so,
with my good natured but slightly envious
better half, who could not help regretting
that we were not able to ride an hour or
two after breakfast, two or three times
week, as my neighbor Smith did with his
wife. "How beautifully they do live !"
repeated Mrs. Jenlins-(my name is
jenkins, dear reader, formerly known at
No. 40 Buckram Lane, tape and needle
dealer.) .
Mrs. Jenkins had no doubt intimated
this pleasant fact TO me, weekly, for a
year, and on the present occasion it was
suggested by the arrival at the moment of
splendid pair of horses attached to an
elegant pheton, which was to convey my
| neighbor Smith and wife to some of the
beautiful and salubrious localities in the
the vicinity of Trumpetvile, fast busi-
ness city less than thousand miles from
Gotham, and famous for luxury and fash.
ion, and my neighbor Smith, lucky dog,
who was doing smashing business and
getting rich, was one of its nabobs. All
indeed felt as though my constant dig
ging ought to afford US now and then such
recreations, but it was no use. Smith (I
oftened wondered the rich dog did not spell
his name with y, twas born under for
tunate star. The fellow had everything to
make earth paradise rolling up mon
ey fine house, to be sure he hired that
but it was probably because he chose tc
keep the cash IN his business, shrewd
fellow as he was, and the house elegantly
furnished, pictures of high cost and rare
value, the rascal had capital taste in those
things) nick-naeks of virtu, good library
and last but not least, refined, beautifu
woman for wife. All Smith was in
deed man to be enyied. Mrs. Smitl
frequently honored me with her patronage
and many snug little bill of goods hav,
| put up for her, and, to do the lady ful
Justice, she paid me an honest profit, ant
cash down, but | wish could say tina
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith honored the plain
unpretending jenkins, of No. 40 Buck
ram Lane. with social recognition o
even looked across the street from thei
residence to mine in Chestnut Place
Alas to the modification often of Mr.,
jenkins, they always cut US there, clea
to the bone /; they never knew us.
