APPEAL TO THE BARBER,

o, barber, spare that young moustache
Touch not single hair.
Your razor, brush and other trash,
Must never venture there.
At last the bud has bursted out,
By much caressing taught;
It's frail young tendrils, how they spout l-
Then, barber, touch it not
Though well laid out and wide the field,
When this young moustache shoots,
The sickly soil no more can yield
o, then, guard well its roots ;;
For should thy murderous blade sweep o'er
That curved lips shadowy mist,
The tender plant would bloom no more:
Then, barber, o. desist
Think Of the fair young girl whose lip
Was wont 40 soft to press
That budding mouth-its sweets to sip:
O, think of their distress
'Tis unfedged manhoods pride and joy
With signs and tears twas bought,
Let no rude stroke its life destroy
o, barber, touch it not

SOUR STORY TELLER.'
IN SPITE OF THEMSELVES
BY Miss F. HoDGsoN, author Of KArHIEEN's u
Love Story.

Miss Anna Manners drew her scissors
from the collection of housewifely instru-
ments which hung at her severe-lOOkine
girdle, and cut her thread with little
snap which was thought vindictive.
If you cared for women, John, she
said, 1 should think it necessary t.
warn you /; but as you don't care for wo-
men, 1 merely tell you as piece of in
formation. She is q fascinating, hand
some, unscrupulous firt That is all !
have to say"
John Manners was bachelor, whose
only sister kept house for him. His re-
sidence was one Of the most beautiful
within thirty miles Of Boston, and that
is saying great deal He had just re-
turned from year in Europe. and Anne
WAS speaking Of a distant cousin, whom
he found visiting bis sister.
He smiled the quiet smile, which was
peculiar to him, Us he threw his paper
aside and made himself little more
comfortable On his luxurious lounge.
"An!" he repeated, in u voice US quiet
and peculiar, in spite of its faint ainuse-
ment, as the smile had been. "Isn't it
quite enough, Anne? Women are pro-
verbally severe upon women, and per-
haps-,
Miss Anne interrupted him with an
other snap of her scissors.
Severe don't talk nonsense" orato-
rically. That girl is twenty years old,
and she is forty as regards artfulness
this minute. Three days showed me how
to see through her airs and graces She
can't make eyes at me, you know: 1
know better. Didn't she begin with
yonng Bellasye, and turn his ridiculous
head upside down with her flowers and
nonsense, and didn't that unfortunate
s.mpleton propose to her within fort
night ? Severe, mdeed!"
John laughed outright. His sisters
irate description of her guest amused
linn. He had heard of Cecil Dare. before
he returned home, and as it happened
lie was not unprepared to meet her /;
but the gentleman who had described
her dangerous proclvities had described
them with o masculine remembrance of
her beauty, and had ended with some
thing like admiration even for this mod
ern Enchantress IN his tone.
"You had better take care Of yourself" "
had been his laughing farewell. "NIiss
Dare does not pay visits to her thirty
second cousin for nothing"
But, "forewarned forearmed," John
had thought. Yet he felt faint interest
in this dangerous young person. As
Miss Anne had said, he did not care for
women generally, for he was thirty, we'll
looking, well-to-lo, and still fancy free;
but his natural gravity had been aroused
INTO something of q pleasure in the an
'icipation of seeing. hearing, and talking
10 her. ~
Where is Miss Dare now?" he asked.
I have seen no sign Of her as yet, except
Nupidon!" Cupidon, be it known, was
atiny toy terrier, with no eyes to speak
d to be seen under his shaggy, white
hah, and was Miss DarEs private pro-
!er'.,.

The orchard and the moving field,
The lawns and gardens fine.

They bring me tithes divine
Wild scents and subtle essences,
A tribute rare and free;
And, more magnificent than all,

A glimpse of blue inimensity,
A little strip of sea.

Great fleets and argosics

Won by the inland breeze
To loiter on yon airy road
Above the apple trees.

Each bears my own picked crew,
Aud nobler cargoes wait for them

My ships that sail into the East
Across that outlet blue.

WAS appointed hy President Holt.
In 1888 Mr.. Slidcll entered tho United
