wOuidn't Boil Soft.

Charlton, in Massachusetts, like
other towns is full of "reminiscences
Of past events. 1t has it curious
characters, who have now nearly
all passed away. A story is related
that about century ago a party of
English gently, on their way TO Bos-
ton from New Haven, were COM
PEELED to remain there over night.
as the only place whore man and
beast were accommodated. AS
many of the luxuries of life, such
as coffee and tea, were almost un-
known to the inhabitants our trav-
elers carried supply of these
things with them. Coffee and tea
were given to the landlady that she
might prepare them for breakfast.
1t was the first time she had seen
these articles, and of course knew
nothing about their preparations.
Not wishing to be considered ver-
dant, she resolved to try. When
the travellers called for their tea
and coffee she told them:
"Gentlemen, the YARDS are done
but the beans won't boil soft"
1t is fact, that during the early
settlement Of the colonies, sea
captain made an old lady present
of a pound of tea, and to show her
appreciation, she invited party of
friends to share il. She cooked the
whole pound as greens, and they
all partook, but sparingly, of the
bitter mess, and were sick for dave
in consequence.

Shaving "a Millionaire.

Everybody who lives in New
Jersey will recollect Billy Gibbons
the millionairs. He was an eccen-
trio man, and numerous stories are
told of his freaks. Here is one OF
them.
1t seems that Billy, while in a
country village, in which he owned
some property, stepped into bar
Der shop to get shaved. The shop
was full of customers, and the old
gentleman quietly waited for his
turn.
A customer, who was under the
BARRIERS hands when the old gentle
man came in, asked the "knight OF
the razor" in undertone, if he
knew who that was and on rcceiv-
ing a negative reply, he informed
him in whisper, it was "Old Billy
Gibbons, the richest man in the
State"
"Gad," said the barber, ,"I'll charge
him for his shave"
Accordingly, after the old man
had had that operation performed,
he was somewhat surprised upon
asking the price to be told that it
was seventy-five cents.
"Seventy-five cents?" said he,
quietly; "isn't that rather high
price 2" f-.
"It's my price, said he of the
lather-brush, Independently, "and
as this is the only barber shop in the
place, them as comes into it must
pay what l ask"
To the old man this was evident
ly knocl1-down argument, for he
drew three-quartcrs of dollar from
his pocket, paid them over to the
barber, and left the shop.
A short time after he was in close
conversation with the landlord of
tavern near by, and the topic of
conversation was barber shops.
"Why is it," said he, "there's on
ly one barber 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 a new shop,
and as everything in it was fresh
and new, folks sort of deserted Bill
Harrington's shop, which had been
going for nigh fourteen years.
"But didn't this Bill do good
work! Didn't he shave well, and
-cheap?
"Well, as for that" said the land
lord, "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 pictures and hand
some 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,
striking a chin sown with a beard
resembling screen wire, i never want
a lighter touch or keener razor
than Bill Hariington's."
"City fashioHs-eh!' y growlcd the
old man. So the new mans city
fashions shut up the other barber
shopg"
"Well, not exactly" said the land
lord, "though things never did seem
to go well with Bill after the new
ebon opancd fir.+. one of his little

Richness Of the Soil Out West.

A man in Detroit gave me some
idea of the richness Of the soil in
that vicinity. He said there wasn't
any place on earth where things
grew as they do there. He said
his wife never made bread. "She
always made little biscuit the size of
an egg, and she would leave 'em an
hour to swell by themselves, and
they would grow into II pound
loaves. He continued this growing
tale, and said: ''Once there was a
man. He went into the woods and
chopped down four trees. He used
the four stumps for corner posts and
and he built him a nice log house
on the stumps. Then he and his
family went to bed in the house.
The next morning he found himself
and family up sixty feet in the air
with a lot of Indians down cellar
waiting to cut their hair off, and
the Indians did scalp the whole Of
'em."
Stranger" said I, "you don't
mean to tell me those trees grew
sixty feet in one night
"Sir, do," says he, "and not
only that, but they hoisted tho
house up with EN-"
care you sure it wasn't sixty
one ~ asked meellly.
"Sir," said he, II never prevari-
cate, especially on one foot"
$50 they took and scalped 'em
all, did thcy!"
"They did," said he.
GLOW in the name of the origin
al Dolly Warden did they get up to
'em ?" | asked.
Says he, "Respected sir, those
Indians each one sawed off a tree
then each Indian sat on q stump,

up to the house, and then they
scalped the family"
1t certainly was the greatest case
of up tree | ever heard of.
stranger, that story is pretty
tough, but believe it, bccuse 1
know some thing about growing
trees, and know they grow dalncd
fast sometimes. My father had
some good soil on his place; good
soil for trees. He couldn't afford
to keep dog, because there was
so many of us young uns. He had
to boil what bones was left to make
soup for us. He had some trees,
and III place of dog he kept some
Of the bark Of those trees in the
house to scare away robbers, be-
cause the bark would last all night.
One day, l used some of the wood
for toothpicls, and as sure as sour
allspice, stranger, those toothpicks
gr,w so that next day / sold 'em
for telegraph poles, and they had
to be sawed in two before they
could be used"
The stranger got up. Says he,
"Good-day, sir

If We Knew.

If we knew the woe and hcartache
Waiting for us down the road,
If our lips could taste the wormwood,
If our backs could feel the load,
Would we waste the day in wishing
For a time that neer can be;
Would we wait with such impatience
For our ships to come from sea-
If we knew the baby fingers
Pressed against the window pane,
Would be cold and stiff tomorrow
Never trouble us again
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch the frown upon our brow,
Would the print of rosy fingers
VeX us then as they do now!
All, these little ice-cold fingers,
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Strcwn along our backward track
How those little hands remind us,
As in snowy grace they lie,
Not TO scatter thorns but roses
For our reaping by and by.
Strange we never prize the music
Till the swect-voiced bird has flown;
Strange that we should slight the voilcts
Till the lovely flowers are gone
Strange that summer sky and sunshine
Never seem one half so fair
As when winters snowy pinions
Shake their white down in the air
Lips from the seal OF silence
None but God can roll away,
Never blossomed in such beauty
As adons the month to-day;
And sweet words that fright our memory
With beautiful perfume,
Come to us in sweeter accents,
Through the portals of the tomb.
Let us gather up the sunbcams,
Lying all around our path;
Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorns and chaff;
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings of to-day,
With patient hand removing
All the briars from our way.
