A Handsome Man.

One of the disadvantages of being a
handsome man has lately received prac-
teal illustration in Toronto. James Day
is what you may call handsome. Nature,
We read, has been most lavish to James.
She has given him the most beautiful dark
brown hair, and art has converted it iuto
ringlets which cluster round his lofty brow
Eyes has james of soft and liquid hue.
AS a matter Of course, there are eyebrows
to match-pencilled and arched. A nose
has james which is beautifully chiselled,
and not bit humpy or turned up. His
mouth is like rose bud lips curved,
chin etfeminate, and cheeks dimpled. h.
Such is the pen aud ink sketch given
in the Globe of the fascinating James
One would be inclined to call him lucky
dog-only it would sound something like
profanity to liken such delicate creature
to the canine species. The ladies, of
course, will be dying to know who James
is. Many will imagine that he is tip
top swell-a millionaire or Rrigadier-
General at least. Alas no. James is
but pot-boy. What humiliating thing
to reflect that SO much beauty should be
doomed to stand behind bar, and mix
brandy smashes for every ugly wretch with
sixpence in his pocket. 10
So far from befriending James, his
good looks promise to sink him still lower
in the social scale. Coming from the post
Office on Monday last, the unfortunate
young mans beauty attracted the keen
gaze of city detective. The detective
never before saw so beautiful man, and
at once came to the sage conclusion that
James was woman. In vain the beau
teous bartender protested his manhood
The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1864-06-17

The detective was incredulous, and the
unhappy possessor of so many good
looks found himself in the black-hole in
a trice. What happened there we know
not. He summoned his boss, the saloon
keeper, and after heightened investiga-
tion be was discharged He was man
after all. We have not heard that he has
commenced an action for damages against
the Toronto corporation or the police force.
In the interests of society, we hope he
may. All our beaux may not be as hand
some as James; but, doubtless, they think
they are; and if every good looking fell
low is to be arrested on suspicion that he
is woman in disguise, serious consequen.
ces may ensue, We trust the fascinating
bartender will stand up for his sex, and
sue the corporation. A jury, we believe,
would lie justified in such case in award.

Sharon.

An exceedingly beautiful and fertile
plain stretching along the Mediterranean
shore, south of Mount Carmel, from Ces-
area to Joppa. It's fertility and beauty
are often alluded to by the sacred writers.
In the spring of 1884, Mr.. Thompson,
an American missionary, passed over this
plain. The view of it from high tower
in Ranla is thus described
"The whole valley of Sharon, from the
mountains of Jerusalem to the sea, and
. from the foot of Carmel to the hills of
GAIA, is spread before you like painted
map, and is extremely beautiful, especial
ly at evening, when the last rays of the
setting sun gild the distant mountain tops,
the weary husband nan returns from his
labor, and the bleatiug focks come frisk-
ing and joyful to their fold At such a
time saw it, and fingered long in pensve
meditation until the stars looked out from
the sky, and the cool breezes of evening
began to shed soft dews on the feverish
land. What a paradise was here when
. Solomon reigned in Jerusalem and sang
of the roses of Sharon And what
heaven upon earth will be here again,
when He that is greater than Solomon
shall sit on the throne of David his father;
for iu his days shall the righteous -four
ish, and abundance of peace so long as
the neon endureth." s...

Scene in an Arkansas Hotel.

A contributor to the Spirit of the Times
thus describes scene at the Anthony
House, at Little Rock, Ark:
Late one bitter cold night in December,
some eight or nine years ago, L. came
into the bar-room, as usual, to take part
in what was going on. For some reason
the crowd had dispersed sooner than was
customary, but two or three of the town
folks were there, together with strange
man who had arrived half an hour or long
er before, and who, tired, wet and muddy,
from long Arkansas stage ride, bis legs
extended and shoes off, was cousoling him
self with two chairs and nap, opposite
the centre of blazing FIRE. Any one
who has travelled until ten o'clock, over
an Arkansas road, can appreciate the fru-
ition before that fire place. The..drowsy
example of the stranger had its effect on
the others, and L---, who took seat in
the corner, for lack of conversation was re-
duced to the poker for amusement. He
poked the fire vigorously for while, un-
til it got red hot, and becoming disguised,
was about to drop it and retire, when he
remarked the great toe of the strangers
foot protruding through hole in one of
his socks.
Here was relief to l.. He placed
the glowing poker within foot of the
melancholy sleeper's too, and began slow
ly to lessen the distance between them
one by one the others, as they caught tho
joke, began to open their, eye. and being
awakened, mouths expanded into grins and
suppressed giggles-and one inconsistent
fellow into broad laugh.
Closer and closer the red hot poker near
ed the unfortunate toe. The heat caused
the sleeper to restlessly move his foot l..
was about applying the poker when q
sound of click ! click arrested his atten-
ton. He looked at the stranger-the latter
with one eye open, had been watching the
whole proceeding, and silently brought
pistol to bear on L.. In voice Just
audible, muttered in tone of great deter
mination
"Jest burn it Burn Il! Jest burn it
and I'll be hung if | don't stir you up with
ten thousand hot pokers in two seconds p
Il laid down his poker instantly,
and remarked
Stranger, let's take arnk-in fact,
gentlemen, all of you.''
l. afterwards said they were the
cheapest drinks he ever bought.

How sal" Disgraced her Family,

A traveller in the State of Illinois, some
years ago, came to lone hut on the prai-
rie near Cairo, and there halted. He went
into the house. 1t was a wretched affair,
AN empty packing-box for table, while
two or three chairs and disagreeabe stools
graced the reception-room, the dark walls
Of which were further ornamented by

one corner, and the man, with tears ia his
eyes and pipe in bis mouth, on stool.
with his sorrowful looking head supported
by the palms of his hands. Not a word
greeted the interloper.
