Shaving a Millionaire.

Everybody who lives in New jersey
will recollect Billy Gibbons,thc million
aire. He was AL eccentric man, and nu-
merous stories are told of his freaks
Here is one of them
1t seemed that Billy, while in coun-
try village, in which he owned some
property stepped into BARRIERS shop to
get shaved. The shop was full of Gus
toners, and the old gentleman quietly
waited for his turn.
A customer who was under the bar
bers hands when the old gentleman
came in, asked the knight OF the ra-
zor," in an undertone, if he knew who
that was ? and, on receivinu a negative
reply, he informed him, in a whisper, it
was "Old Billy Gibbons, the richest
man in the State"
'Gad, said the barber, 'lll charge
him for his shave.
Accordingly, after the old man had
the operation performed, he was some
what surprised upon asking the price,to
be told ''seventy-tive cents
"Seventy-tive cents" said he quietly,
''isn't thtt rather high price ?"
sits my price, said he Of the lather-
brush, Independently, land as this is the
only BARRIERS shop in the place, them as
come into it must pay what | ask.
To the old man this was evidently a
knock-down argument, for he drew
three quarters OF dollT from his pock-
ct, paid them over to the barber, and
left the shop.
A short time after this he was in close
conversation with the landlord ofa tay-
ern hard by, and the topic OF the con-
Ycrsation was "barber shops.
"Why is it," said he, there's only
one BARRIERS shop in town There
seems to be nearly enough work for
two
"Well. there used to be two, said the
landlord, "till last winter, when this
new man came up from the city. and
opened new shop. and as everything
in it was fresh and new, folks sort of de-
serted Bill Harrington's shop, which
had been going on for nigh fourteen
years"
''But didn't this Bill do good work I!
Didn't he shave well, snd-cheap."
"Iyell, as for that said the landlord,
':Bill did his work well enough, but his
shop wasn't on the main street like the
new one, and didn't have so many pic
lures and handsome curtains, and folks
got in the way of thinking the new chap
was more scientific. and brought more
city fashion with him, though to tell the
truth, satd the landlord, striking a chin
sown with beard resembling screen
wire, Il never want lighter touch or
keener razor than Bill HsrTingtons.'
''City fashions-eh ?" growled the
cid man. $50 the new mans city fash
ions shut up the other BARRIERS shop :"
"Well, not exactly" said the land

LIFE IN 4 RotLtYo MnL-Persons
who complain of the heat would do
well to contrast their lot with that OF
men employed in foundries and rolling
mills. The labor Of most Of the rolling
men, who work by the ton, commences
in the morning. Viewed in the light
ofother peoples hours, however it com
mences in the night. At four o'clock
they must be up and deing, for Mt fve
one half Of the world being yet IN bed,
sharp whistles will be calling the rollers
TO their tongs and hooks, and the iron
must be hot before that. During the
early part of the day the heat, though
intense, is patiently borne with the DO
DIV clothed, but between twelve and
three o'clock, when rolls, furnaces and
the iron are all Kissing hot, the endu-
rance of the men is taxed to the utmost.
By the time the first named hour Is
stuck all metal substances have become
too hot for the unsccustomed TO handle,
and the air about the furnaces and rolls
is sitting. Ninety y-fve degrees in
shady Office is terrible infiicuoD 10
many, but here the thermometer marks
from l25 to 1876 degrees Of heat. Shirts
dripping with pcrspiration are discard
ed, and muscular development may be
studied to good advantage. Pants are
wet and steaming holly, and even shoes
must occasionally be empiied OF the
sweat that runs into them. Countenan-
ces begin to wear distressed appearan-
ces as if the physical strain was telling
severely upon the stoutest- One look
at the dozen stout men tliat will be pros
trated. in the last round or two, will
convince any one that the largest wages
they NAV receive are well earned.

BURIAL OF MOSES.
By Neho's lonely mountain,

| BY NebOs lonely mountain,
On this side Jordans wave,
In vale in the land of Moab.
There lieth lonely grave;
And no man dug that sepuchle.
| And no man saw it eer,
For the angels of God uptwnedthc sod
And laid the dead man there.
This was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth,
! But no man heard the trampling
| Or saw the train 60 forth.
Silently as the daylight
Comes when the night is done,
/ And the crimson streak on ocean 5 cheek
CLOVIS into the great red sun
! Silently as the spring time
It's crown of verdure weares,
And all the trees on all the hills
Open their thousand leaves
So. without sound OF music,
Or voice Of him that wept,
Silently down from themountain scrown
The great procession swept.
Perchance the bald old eagle,
On dark Bethpeors height,
Down from his rocky eyrie
Looked on the wonderoHs sight;
Perchance the lion stalking
Avoids the sacred spo;--
! For beast and bird have seen and heard
That which man knoweth not.
But when the warrior dieth,
His comrades in tie war,
With arms reversed and mui1ied drum,
Follow the funeral car
/ They show his banners taken,
! They tell his battles won,
! And after him lead his masterlcss steed,
While peals the minute gun.
Amid the nsblest of the land
! Men lay the sage TO rest,
And give the bard an honored place
With costly marbles dressed;
In the great minister transept,
Where lights like glorlcS fall,

rings
Along the emblazoned wall.
! This was the bravest warrior
That ever bucklcd sword
This the most gifted poet
That ever breathed word;
And never earth's philosopher
4
! Onthe deathless page, truth halfs so sage
AS he wrote down for men.
And had he not high honor,
The hillside for his pail,
To lie in state, while Angel, wait
With stars for tapers tall
And the dark rock-pines like tossing
plumes
Over his bier to wave,
And Gods own hand in that lonely land
TO lay him in the grave
In that deep grave, without name,
Whence his uncoflined clay
Shall break again-oh, ,wondrous thought!
Before the Judgment day ;
And stand in glory wrapt around
On the hills he never trod,
And speak of the strife that won our life
With the incarnate Son of God.
Oh lonely tomb in Moab's land,
Oh! dark Bethpeors hill,
Speak to these curious hearts of ours
And teach them to be still.
God hath his mysteries Of grace,
Thoughts that we cannot tell,
And He hides them deep like the secret
sheep
