An Astonished Barber.

A traveller dropped into a bar
 Der shop in Rochester the other
 day to get shaved. After he had
 been deprived of the useless hair
 upon his face, and a portion of his skin, by a garrulous and clumsy
 knight of the razor, the tOnsOrial
 artist tossed the ends of his hair lightly, and the following dia- logue ensued Have a cutT' Victim: No, it was cut last
 week, and 1 am ia hurry" Ar- tist Hooking at the clock): "You have plenty of time before the train goes East" Victim: "I'm
 not going Elstp Barber: "Oh,
 then you are in no hurry! Had
 your dinner"' Vitim (rather
 gruf1y): "Yes" Barber (still
 toying with our friends waving
 locks): (Which way are you go.
 ingW Victim: "West, if I ever get out of this shOpw Barber l "How far?" Victim "BuffalO" Barber: "Oh, no! BnffalO, eh You cannot get your hair cut de- gently in Buffalo. There is only one good barber there and he is drunk half the time. Shall I cut it? The train does not leave for half an hourw Victim (thorough ly enraged: Look here you

The Duty of a Woman to be a Lady

Wildness is thing which a girl can not afford. Delicacy is thing which can not be lost and found. No art can restore to the grape its blood. Familiarity without love, without confidence, without regard, is destructive to all that makes woman eXalting and ennobling
 "The world is wide, these things are small They may be nothing but they are all.''
 Nothing9 It is the fret duty of a woman to be a lady Good breeding l. .a good sense. Bad manners in woman is im- morality AWkWardness may be ineradica ole. Bash f0lness is con stitution. Ignorance of etiquette is the result Of circumstances. All can be cOndOned, and do not banish man or woman from the amenities of their kind.
 But self-pOssessed, unshrinking and aggressive coarseness of de- meanOr may be reckOned as a State Prison Offense, and certainly merits that mild form of restraint called imprisonment for life. Itis shame for women to be lectured on their manners. It is bitter shame that they need it. Women are the umpires of society. It is they tO whom all the knOtted points should be referred To be a lady is more than to be a Prince A lady is always in her right ina lienahly worthy of respect. To lady, Prince and peasant alike bow.
 Do not be restrained. Do not have impulses that need restraint. Do not wish to dance with the Prince unsOught; feel differently. Be such that you can confer honor. Garry yourself so loftily that men shall look up to you as reward, not at you in rebuke. Tie natur- al sentim ent of the men toward women is reverence. He loses 8 large means of grace when he is obliged to account her a being to be trained into propriety. A mans ideal is not wounded when woman fails in worldly wisdom; but if in grace, in tact. in senti- ment of delicacy, in kindess, she should be found wanting, he re ceives an inward hurt. - GdT HGnaiIlOn.

A Terrible Situation
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
 He was young and serious, and in the fair gloaming he escorted his wife to where the sparkling soda gushed from marble foun- tain, Gravely he gazed at the man who asked, "What syrup ?" and answered Crusade" Life seemed beautiful at that moment, but 8 paralyzing horror seized him as the gentle young wife said she'd try some, too. He laughed faintly it is said but he felt like the silent tomb or a luna- tic asyIum-it didn't matter which, However, the soda m an nobly fulfilled his trust !; he pre- served his presence of mind and handed the wife dose of particu- larly energetic ginger, while the alarmed husband was comforted with the f1agon he desired. He wishes never to stand upon such an apex of agony again.

A young lady at Norriston put piece of wedding cake un- der her pillow and went to bed with the happy belief that she would dream of her future hus- band. That evening, however, she had eaten two plates of ice cream, about a pint of strawber- ries, several sweet cakes, and two large pickles, and she now says she would rather remain single all her life than marry the man she saw ill her dream.

TO THE DEPOSITORS
OF THE
FREEDMAN,S SAVINGS AND
TRUST COMPANY.

The recent legislation Of Con.
gress, so amending the charter o.
the Freedman's Savings and Trust
Company, as to place the institution
upon broader and firmer basis
and give to its Trustees a large,
measure OF discretion and contro
ofits management, may be vel
enough made the occasion for {
brief statement Of facts and circum.
stances which have a bearing upon
the legislation in question and upon
the future existence and success OF
the Freedman's Bank.
It is very evident that Congress
was animated in its legislation by a
generous desire to conserve and
strengthen an institution of known
usefulness to the people in whose
Interest It was created.
In regard to the condition Of this
corporation, certain facts have
already come to public knowledge,
through the publication of the re-
port Of Mr.. Meigs, the Bank exam;-
ner:
~ necessary to disguise or ez-
plain away by false processes the
facts therein stated. It is known
that on the first Of January, 1874,
our liabilities exceeded our assets
10 the extent Of $4,000. and it is
also known that nothing occurred +,
aimee that time to materially dimin-
hh the space between these assets
and liabilities, though it is due to
state that several considerable loans
which were supposed, at the time {
the report was made, to be bad,
have turned out to be good loans.
This deficit now admitted and I
never denied by the undersigned, is +
very easily accounted for, and it u
a may serve = good purpose to state q
the cause Of its existence. a

CAUSE OF STREAKTNESs IN But
TER.

4 woman who has the care of
the milk Of cows says that the
streaked appearance of butter is
caused by Swimming the milk
when in different conditions; that
is, if some Of the milk
when it is is skinned
thick, and at other times when
scarcely sour, or at any stage be-
tween these two points, that the
resulting butter will be streaked.
This may be one Of the causes, but
it is not the only one. Careful eX-
animation shows these streaks to
be composed Of casein, but not in
the form in which it exists in but
termilk; hence, / am inclined to
think that the cause is to be fonnd
in some popularity Of the churn-
ing, which separates the casein
from the butter, so that afterward
they become mechanically mixed
and cannot be separated. ~ Tx.
