You are to shave and cut hair fer everybody
that applies to you, and take no pay lust
charge it all to me, aud for your services I'll
pay you twenty dollars month payable in
advance-pay to commence now, continued
he, placing two ten dollar notes on the table
before the astonisheds sbarber-whoi it is almost
unnecessary to state, accepted the proposition,
and who was still more surprised to learn that
1t was Billy Gibbons himself who had hired
him.
'."I In few days the Inhabitants of that vii,
lage were astonished by the appearance of a
splendid new barber's shop. far surprising the
other in elegance Of appointments, and in
which, with new mugs, soaps, razors, and per-
fumes, stood barber and assistant ready to do
duty on the heads. and boards of the people
Over the door was Inscribed, "wiliam Har.
rington, Shaving and Hair Dressing Saloon /"
The people were not long assertainine or
slow in availing themselves of the privileges
of this establishment, aud it is not to be won.
dered that it was crowded aud the other de>
serted. The other held out some weeks. sus-
pectiug this free shaving--for Bill kept his
secret well-was but dodge to entice cus>
toners away who would soon be charged as
usual; but when at the end of six weeks he
found Billy working away as usual, charging
not a cent for his labor, and having money to
spend in the bargain, he came to the conclu>
sion that he must have drawn prize in the
lottery, or stumbled upon gold mine, and
was keeping barber's shop for fun, so he
closed his shop in dspair, aud left the place.
Meantime, "Bill Harrington" kept on busy
as bee, aud one fine morning his employer
stepped in, and, without word, sat down, and
was shaved on rising from his chair he asked
to see the score for the six months past. The
barber exhibited it, aud after careful calcu.
lation, the old man said:
PLENTY of customers, eh ?''
''Lots of 'em," said the barber; never did
such business in my life.!'
"Well," replied Money Bags, "yotu have
kept the account well. see I've paid you
one hundred and twenty dollars for services,
all right-and there are three hundred and
thirty charged for shaving all that applied
now, this furniture cost one hundred and
eight dollars; balance due you one hundred
and two dollars. Here it is Now you own
this furniture, and are to have his shop rent
tree six months longer, and after to-day YOU
are to charge the regular price for work, for
your pay from me stops to-day"
This, of course, the barber gladly as,
sented to-
''But," said the old man, on leaving, stake
care you never cheat man by charging ten
times the usual price for shave; for it NAV
be another cold Billy Gibbons"

inherited vast wealth, passed that way, and

the multitude. =,

A Quart of Mississippi Twenty Years
Old. =. l 81 q. Z. J. 8 9

There is now on exhibition at the Mercane
tile Library a bottle of water, vintage, 1862,
And thereby hangs tale.
Twenty years ago DIR. Drake of Cincinnati,
wrote to his son, Mr. Charles d. Drake, re.
siding in this city, asking him to send to Gins
oinnati, scaled, quart of Mississippi water;
to be taken from midstream at some depth,
below the surface a law student named
Mcdaniel, then studying in Mr.. brakes Of
fee, filled the bottle, going out on raft about
the site of the old water works. The flask,
was duly sealed aud put aside to await an op..S
portunity OF forwarding it to, Mr.. Drake, ,Sr.,
Ere the opportunity offered he died, and the.
bottle has neglected in the Office ever since.
A couple of days since, Mr. Drake, who is
Judge of the Court OF Claims ut Washington
city, happened upon it while removing his
books. The water is singularly clear and
sweet. Judge Drake. who served in the
navy as midshipman, says that the waters Of
only two rivers in the world possess the quail,
ty of keeking fresh on pyotracted cruise.
those of the Ganees and the Mississippi. He
has presented the bottle to the Mercantile
Library, where it is on exhibition, proof of
the superiority of nature over art, as i. out

Franklin's Independence.

Soon after his establishment in Philadel-
phia, Franklin was waited upon, by one of the
wealthiest men of the city, who offered him
an article for publication in his newspaper
The publisher glanced his eyes overthe piece,
and requested the gentleman to call on the
morrow. On the following day tho author
called. and asked what>was the decision upon
his article. sWhy sir, reJoined Frank
Il am sorry to say that think it grossly sour
rilous aud detamatory. I have concluded not
to publishit.' tSirF cried the gentleman, in
amazement, do you know what you are doing?
Do you think what the influence of myself
and my friends may be, either for or against
You, as we choose to exert it?' II have
thought of it, said Franklin, with solemn
earnestness. s0n account of my poverty Il,
hesitated, and tried to persuade myself that

Col. Fisk and the Newsboy,

Whatever were his foibles and faults there
were traits in Col. Fsk's character crcditable
IN the highest degree to his head and heart.
His unostentatious charities aud generous
sympathies, as illustrated by many kind acts
to the unfortunate, are worthy of emulation.
a little incident which occurred few months
before his death is perhaps one of the most
touching that has ever been given to the pub
lie. This one Mrs. Fisk takes especial pleas
ure In recalling. illustrating, as it does. her
husbands kindness of heart and readiness of
sympathy and help to those who needed aid
Col. Fisk had often noticed in Twenty
third street little crippled uewsboy, and one
day he spoke to him in his bluff, offhand man.
ner:
'Well, my boy, how is business ?"
''Not very good sir" was the reply.
''What is the matter?"
"Why, you see, Tn lame and I can't run,
and the other boys get ahead of me, and I
cant sell my papers very we'll"
"Not very good look out for you, is it i?
say my boy, how would you like to 90 into
business with me 2"
, The boy looked perplexed, and eyed the
Colonel curously.
81 think we might strike up bargain
You come to the opera house at ii this morn
ing; Two got plan for you Now be on
time."
At II o'clock the boy was there, quite Gu
rious to know what the Col. wanted.
Halo, boy. you're good one. Now see
here, do you know good place for paper
Eyes, sir, tip top"
"Where is it 2"
'tDown here at the corner"
"How much will stand cost 2"
Lots of money; much as fifty or q hun
dred dollars "
''You don't say SO; why that's fortune.
DO you think that money could be made
there 2"
Yes, I do. It is first rate place."
"Well, III get carpenter to make the
stand, and III stock it; then you shall take
care of it, and we'll be partners, you and l
will go into the paper business"
Col. Fisk then arranged with the boy what
part of the profits he should receive, and told
him when the stand would be ready, and sent
him on his way rejoicing. The plan was
very successful. Trade was good, aud every
week the boy carried his share of the money
to his partner. Seeing the boys determine,
tion, Col. Fisk quietly put aside the money,
and one day gave it all to the boy, releasing
him from his contract to pay any part of the
money to himself
When Col. Fisk died there was nowhere a
sincerer mourner than this little newsboy. and
stand on the corner was heavily draped on
the day Of the burial

THE THREE BELLS.

.-ste-- lhk ThhBs bELL6.
Bene,th the low-huug night cloud
That raked her splin tering mast
The good ship settled slowly,
The cruel leak gained fast.
Over the awful ocean
Her sigual guns pealed out,
Dear God was that thy answer
Fromthe horrorround about?
Avoice came down the wild wind. -
Ho ship ahoy. J" its cry:
'Our stout Three Bells Of Glaseov
Shall stand till daylight by.'
Hour after hour crept slowly,
Yet on the heaving swells
1nssed up and down: the ship lights,
Inc lights ofthe Three Bells !
And ship to ship made signals;
Man answered back to man,
while Oft, to cheer and hearten.
The Three Bells nearer ran,
And the captain from her taffrail
Sent down his hopeful cry,
"Take heart! Hold on i'' he shouted.
The Three Bells shall stand by ="
All night across the waters
The tossing lights shone clear:
All night from reeiing taffr.il -t-
Tho Three Bells sent her cheer.
And when the dreary watches
Ofstorm and darkness passed,
just as the wreck lurched under.
All souls were saved at last,
Sail on, Three BELLS, forever,
In grateful memory sail;
Ring on, Three Bells of rescue, g.
Above the wave and gale!
As thine. in night and tempest,
hear the Masters cry,
And, tossing through the darkness,
The lights Of God draw nigh!

A CANNON THAT WILL Throw A FIVE
Ton BALL.--A new idea for heavy ordnance
is proposed BY Bessemere, the inventor of the
cheap process of making STEEL Instead of
setting fire to all the powder in his gun at
once, he divides his charge into different cells
and explodes them successfully, all going off
before the ball leaves the gun, and each Civ
ing it new impulse. He wants now to make
cannon twenty yards long, with bore of
thirty inches aud walls eight inches thick,
and with this he will fire shell weighing five
tons. Such projectile striking any existing
iroD-clad ship in the hull, near the water line,
would sink her at the first pop. and would
seriously damage our strongest Notifications.
