THAT MoUsrAcHE.-A lady friend
requests the publication Of the fol-
lowing:
Oh, barber, spare that young
moustache Touch not a single
hair, your razor, brush and other
trash, must never venture there.
At last the bud has bursted out,
by much caresSlng taught: It's trall
young tendrils how they spout
then, barber, touch it not. Though
we'll laid out and wide the field,
when this youngmoustache shoots,
the sickly soil no more can yield:
oh, then, guard we'll its roots: for
should thy murderous blade sweep
DER that curved lips shadowy mist,
the tender plants would bloom no
more: then, barber, oh desist! !!
Think of the fair young girl whose
lip was wont so oft to press that
budding mouth; its sweet to sip
oh think of their distress IT'S
unfedged manhood's pride and
Joy: with sighs and tears twas
bought, let no rude stroke its life
destroy-ob, barber, touch it not !!

GIVING THE HEART "
said a little boy, who had only
numbered three summers, "what
does it mean to give your heart to
God?" ...
The mother put down her SOW
ing, and looking at her boy, said
"Charlie, do you love anybody ?"
With a look Of surprise, the
child answered, II love you'll love
my father, my sister and Henry"
"Tben you giveyour heartt to your
father, to Henry, to your sister,
and to me; and you show that
love by doing all you can for US,
and obeying our commands
The child's face looked bright
with new thought.
.'And you ought" continued the
mother ''to love God rest, because
He gave your father and mother,
and all your friends and comforts,
and He gave you His dear Son.
Jesus Christ, who came from
Heaven to die, that you may live
forever"

BLooMERs-THE WOMAN IN

BLooMERs-THE WOMAN IN
PANTALooNs. A mum Der Of
''bloomers," calling themselves
the National Dress Reform and
Equal Rights Association" met in
Washington on Wednesday night
to discuss the great question of
pants and petticoats. The asso-
citation seemed to be composed of
two women in breeches, to wit !:
Doctress Mary Walker, of Wash
ington, and DoctressLydia Sayer
Hasbrouck, Syracuse, N. Y. The
audience was mostly composed of
young scamps who came for amuse-
ment, and " ho kept up the most
boisterous demonstrations during
the proceedings. Doctress Wal
ker presided, and opened the
speaking with a stirring address,
which brought down the house,
and sent the boys into ecstacies.
Doctress Hasbrouck, who says
she is an editor, followed at con-
siderable length, concluding with
regular attack upon President
Grant for his contempt of women
in breeches. She sai' that she
had come to Washington to be
chief of the modiste department,
which she inferred, from the Pres
ident's course, be intended to set
up. She thought she could regu-
late the pantaloon business, and
the boys urged her on with cries of
'sGo it, old gal, 60 it-and bully
for you," &c. She was particul ar
ly severe upon the President be-
cause of his alleged refusal to see
DR.. Mary Walker until she wore
the usual costume Of her sex. At
the conclusion Mrs, DR.. Walker
announced that Miss Hasbrouck
had her premises all wrong. Pres
ident Grant had never said it, but
President Lincoln had remarked
that he was afraid to see woman
who wore pants.

The Tax Bill.

Somebody proposes the follow
ing new amendments to the tax
bill:
For kissing a pretty girl, one
dollar.
For kissing a homely one, two
dollars-thc extra amount being
added probably for the mans
folly.
For ladies kissing one another,
two dollars. The tax is placed at
this ratein order to break up the
custom altogether-it being re-
garded by our N. C.'s, as a piece
Of incxcusable absurdity.
For every Irritation, ten cents.
Every young man who has more
than one girl, is taxed five dol
lars.
For courting in the kitchen,
twenty-five cents.
Courting in the parlor, one dol
lar.
Courting in a romantic place,
five dollars and fifty cents there
after.
Seeing lady home from church,
twenty-five cents.
Going from church without ac-
companying a lady, FIVE dollars.
Seeing a lady home from the
Mine Society, FIVE cents-the pro.
ceeds to be devoted to the relief of
disabled army chaplains.
For ladies who paint, fifty
cents.
For wearing q low-necked dress,
one dollar.
For each curl on lady's head
above ten, FIVE cents.
For any unfair device for en-
trapping young men into matri-
mony, five dollars.
For wearing hoops larger than
eight feet in circumference, eight
cents for each hoop.
Old bachelors over thirty, are
taxed ten dollars, and banishcd to
Utah. 49,. +...,;::..;.;.z:.s,.-,-. .:. ;.::..s.
Each pretty lady is to be. taxed
from twenty five cents to twenty
five dollars !; she is to fix the estl-
mate of her own beauty. 1t is
thought very large amount is to
be realized from this provision.
Each boy baby, fifty cents.
Each girl baby, ten cents.
Families having more tn o n
eight babies arc not to be taxed
ard for twins a premium of forty
dollars will be paid out of the
funds accruing from tax on old
bachelors.
Each Sunday loafer on the street
corners or about church doors to
be taxed his value, which is about
two cents.

Beautiful Extract.

The following wait, aaoat on the
s'sea of reading" we clip from an
exchange. Wedo not know its
paternity, but it contains some
Wholesome truths beautifully set
forth:
Men seldom think Of the great
event of death until the shadow
falls across their own path, hiding
forever from their eyes the trace
of the loved ones whose living
smiles were the sunlight of their
existence. Death is the great an
tagonist Of life, and the cold
thought of the tomb is the skele-
ton Of all feasts. We do not want
to go through the dark valley, al
though it's passages may lead to
paradise land, with Charlesbamb,
we do not want to lie down in the
muddy grave, even with kings
and princesses for our bed.fellows.
But the fat Of nature is inexo-
rable. There Is no appeal of re-
lief from the great law which
dooms US to dust. We flourish
and we fade as the leaves Of the
forests, and the flower that blooms
and withers in a day has not a
frazier hold upon life than the
mightest monarch that ever shook
the earth with his footsteps. Cen
erations Of men appear and vanish
as the grass, and the countless
multitude that throngs the world
to-day. will, tomorrow, disappear
as the footsteps on the shore.
In the beautiful drama Of Ion,
the insect of immortality, SO elo-
quently uttered by the death-de-
voted Greek, finds a deep response
in every thoughtful soul. When
about to yield his young existence
as a sacrifice to fate: his beloved
Clemanthe asks if they shall not
meet again, to which he replies:
81 have asked that dreadful ques.
tion of the hills that look eternal
of the clear streams that flow
forever-of the stars among whose
fields of azure nay raised spirit
hath walked in glory. All were
dumb. But while I gaze upon thy
living face, I feel that there is
something in the love that man.
ties through it's beauty that can
not wholly perish. We shall meet
again, Clemanthe."

A MOUSE JUMPS Down A JUDGES
THRoAT.-While Judge Archer, OF
Marshall, Ind, was removing some
boxes from shelf one day last
week, a mouse jumped out one of
them and into the mouth of the
Judge, and started directly down
his throat. The Judge, unlike
John Chinaman, did not relish the
taste, and after several hawke,
succeeded, despite the efforts OF
the mouse, in getting him out of
his throat into his mouth, but
was rather slow in getting hold OF
the "little devil" and be made
another attempt but was again
unsuccessful. Whether the mouse
was trying to commit suicide, or
whether he wanted merely to
"revive, the inner-mau," we have
no way ofaseertaining, but we are
assured that he was successful in

HBeau Hickman"

= Hanging about the front of the
Metropolitan every day, and some
times peering in the doorway, tor
notice he's been served upon him
to keep out of the motel, is a gray
haired, broken-down old man,
hobbling painfully along with q
cane, for he has the gout, besides
several kinds of rheumatism, who
has been as we'll known Washing
ington for thirty yeas past as the
most distinguished statesman in
the land. This is the famous
"Beau Hickman" or what there
is left of him. His eccentricities
have furnished columns of para
graphs for newspapers all over
the country, though to see him
now one would naturally wonder
how he ever came to get nation
,al notoriety. He couldn't have
done it anywhere but in Washing
ton.
Take him anywhere else in the
world and he would simply be
considered q common nuisance,
and treated accordingly. He be-
longs to some rare old Virginia
family (tradition says), and gained
the title of "Beau" some thirty
years ago, when he had money,
by the style be used to affect at
the Virginia springs and other
places of public resort. He boasts
ofhaving been on terms of easy IA
miliarity with Clay, Calhoun, Ben
ton and the rest, who figured at
the capital when the Beau was in
his prime, and no doubt they did
tolerate and patronize him. If
he had any wit in those days, or
was in the least manner enter
tanning, there is not the slightest
indication of it remaining. He
wears a seedy half-military cloak
over his shoulders all the time;
his hat is of a defunct style, but
neatly brushed always, and an
eye-glass bangles in front of him
from a ribbon. There are several
little points about him that show
the dilapidated dandy.
His custom for years was to %
collect a dollar a piece from all
congressman and those who had
secured Government positions in
Washington, on their first arrival
at the capital. He only asks for
a quarter now, and is ready to
take anything that is offered,
even a three-cent piece. He
mourns over the degenerated re-
public-says there are no men of
brains at Washington any more.
He leans against a pillar of the
hotel and smiles scornfully on our
great American statesmen as they
pass, Eggleston, Strader snd the
rest, and mutters words of gloom
and bitterness. Poor old Beau
Hickman! He ought to be pen
stoned and laid away, for he is
about the only link that connects
Washington present with Wash
ington past Washington Cores

"M ell, then, I want knot tied

fearing lest the minister in his
wrath should fall from grace.
