-MISCEILA IAN Y.
Shaving a Millionaire.

Let any man become immensely wealthy
by his own exertions, and straightway you
will hear mum, rous anecdotes. illustrating
the means by which he attained his riches,
the effect they have upon him, his disposi-
ton of them, or his sayings, peculiarities,
and eccentriciiies.
Astor, Girard, and Billy Gray have fur
nished illustrations fer many a clever sketch
er. We heard few clever anecdotes the
other day Of Billy Gibbons, a New Jersey
millionaire, one of which we will give our
readers.
1t seems that Billy, while in country
village iu which he owned some property,
stepped into a barber's shop TO get shaved.
The shop was full of customers, ard the old
gentleman quietly waited for his turn.
A customer who was under the BARRIERS
hands when the old man came in, asked the
"knight Of the razor" in an undertone, if
he knew who that was, and on receiving a
negative reply, informed him in whisper
it was old Billy Gibbons, the richest man
10 the State"
Cad said the barber, /" I'll charge him
for his shave
Accordingly, after the old man had had
the operation performed, he was somewhat
surprised, upon asking the price, to be told
-" seventy-fve cents"
Seventy-fve cents I" said he quietly,
:" is Mt it rather high price 7"
Its my price said he Of the lather-
brush, Independently, "and as this is the on
ly barber shop in the place, them as comes
into it must pay what ask"
To the old man this was evidently a
knock down argument. .or he drew three
quarters of a dollar from his pocket. and
paid them over to the barber and left the
shop.
A short time after he was in close con.
versation with the landlord of tavern near
by, and the topic of conversation" barber
shop"

barber's shop in town? There seems to be
nearly work enough for two"
Well, there used to be two," said the
landlord, still last winter, when this new
man came up from the city and opened a
new shop, and as everything in it was fresh
md new, folks sort o'deserted Bill Harring
tons shop, which had been going for nigh
fourteen years.
But did MT this Bill do good work p
did MT he shave well and.-cheap
Well. as for that" saii the landlord
Bill did his work well enough and cheap
enough, but his shop was MT on the main
street like the new, and did Mt have so many
pictures and curtains, and folks got in the
way of thinking the new chap was more
scientific, and brought more city fashions
with him, though to tell the truth" said the
landlord strokins chin sown with beart
resembling screen wire, never saw |
lighter touch, or keener razor than Bill
Harring,on's."
City fashions--eh!" growled the oil

from Murfreesboro. These cornfelds were
literally covered with the rebel dead and
dying. The enemy had now been driven
mile and half and nothing but the
coming of night prevented the gallant
Negley and his men from pushing into
Murfreesboro. rode over the field at ten
o'clock that night. Our forces held un.
disputed possession Of the contested ground.
The slaughter Of the enemy was terrible
to contemplate. The woods by the river
and corn6elds, resounded with the groans
of the wounded and dying. At least two
thousand of the enemy fell in this glorious
affair, while our own loss could not have
exceeded five hundred. More than thou
sand prisoners were left in our hands. Sev-
eral rebel flags were captured, and at least
one battery of artillery. When the victory
was announced 10 the lest of the army, their
cheers fairly rent the air, and must have
spread dismay and terror amongst the rebel
hosts.

THE DEAD HERO.

Wreath the laurel and the bay
With the cypress ,ad to-day
Lay the chapiet with a tear
On the colder scholars bier;
On our hearts we write the name
With hero's desthless fame
Noble story of the brave,
Write Its glory on bis grove
Low we bow with fearful eyes
Where the stin, stiIl form now lies;
Ito who proudly took his stand
With the patriotic band;
And fbr country gave his life
On the fearful field Of strife.
iteareth not the grateful praise
Thousand hearts nov long to raise.
wreathe we laurel and the bay
With the cypress sad, to-day,
And the chapiet ON the clay,
81 wly and In silence lay.
Gazing on the marb brow
Words seem idle. useless now,
Head We there with wondering eyes,
Greatness OF the sacrifice.
Mother. Father, mourning friends,
Painting hearts which anguish sends,
Know, he lived TO honor you.
Know be died as heroes do.
Know, the cause was great and true, .
Mourn, but know the glory too.
Lock you up thro' streaming eyes,
God shall bless tAis sacrifice

AN ARITHMETIoAL AoTUALITY.-A
fellow up town being little "short,
and little dry, walked into store and
purchased three crackers; before paying
seeing that the storekeeper had cider,
he came to the sage conclusion that he
was more dry than hungry, and asked
permission to swap the crackers for the
cider. Biting off the end ofthe cider
with smack of the lips, he tnrned on
his heel and opening the door to go out,
when the storekeeper said:
"Come, pay me for the cider"
"Didn't swap the crackers for the
cider?" said the other.
Well, then, pay me for the crackers
said the puzzled trader.
"Haven'tys got them on the shelf
What are you hindering me for, ye
armed fool2' and off he went.

WANT OF PUNoTUAL1TY.-It is as
tonishing how many people there arc
who neglect punctuality, Thousands
have failed in life from this cause alone.
1t is not only serious vice in itself,
but it is the fruitful parent of numOr
GUS other vices, so that he who becomes
the victim of it, gets involved in tolls
from which it is almost impossible to
escape. 1t makes the merchant waste
full Of time; it saps the business and
reputation of the lawyer, and it Injuries
the prospects of the mechanic. In o
word, there is not a profession, sta.
q tion in life, which is not liable to the
oanker of the destructive habit. Many
and many time has the failure of one
man to meet his obligations brought on
