FIFTEEN CENTS OR DEATH.
Ka,KIsxism on the Rampage Among
the Nashville Barbers-A Hero who
Risks Life for a Dime shave.

Several weeks since colOred barber by
the name of Robertson, doing business on
Cherry Street, came to the deliberate con-
clusion, in view of the stringency of the
money market and the probable failure of
the currency bill, that ten cents per shave
was as much as he ought to Charge his Gus
TONERS. This determination he acted
upon Immediately, but failed TO give notifi-
cation thereof to his brother knights of the
razor. Yesterday he received the following
communication.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 10, 1S74-
Mr.. Alex. Robertson-Sir: We, the BARRIERS
Of the city of Nashville, understand that
you are shaving for ten cents, and, if it be
so, we dine say 10 you that if You due not

MISCELLANEOUS.
STEPHEN GIRARD's DREAM.

stephen Girard was remarkable man.
In has otice was Young man as clerk, who
attended 10 his duties very intelligently and
faithfully. This had attracted the attention
OF MIR. Glrard, for nothing escaped him.
One morning he came into the ice and call.
ing the clerk, remarked:
Young man. dreamed about you last
night"
dreamed of me 7" returned the clerk,
in surprise.
Yes; 1 saw form and heard voice.
The form was your own. and the voice said
This man is your best clerk, but he should
be cooper. Merchants fail, but coopers are
always sure of living by their trade So
you must leave me and learn TO be n first rate
cooper. never go contrary to my dreams.
They often tell me how to proceed. trust
in them as do in my own judgment; and
obey them conscientiously. Go aud get
place to learn the trade of cooper. and when
you can make barrel come and see the
again"
The clerk was, of course, greatly astouished,
but he had no fear of toll, and he knew that
he would lose nothing by falling in with the
directions of Mr.. Girard. Accordingly he
settled up his affairs at the office, and in
few days engaged with Mr.. Girard's cooper to
learn the trade. During long period he
kept steadily at work and made excellent pro.
gress
Meanwhile Mr. Girard had not forgotten
him. lie often saw the young man in his
overalls on the whaFEes nt work, and he a.
ways spoke encoursgingly to him. He had
not made up his mind as to what he would do
for him. but he was greatly pleased at the
successful carrying cut of his dream. On one
occasion, as he came from the wharf, he nut
tered:
my young cooper is doing we'll He is a
man every inch of him. must give him a
helping hand"
A few nights subsequently the old man was
sleeping calmly in his humble looking apart>
nent. His real wealth did not show itself
in anything about him. The furniture was
old-tashionec. and all the surroundings we're
strictly after the plain taste Of the owner. As
he sIumbered his countensncc was calm and
without the trace Of a single care. At times
slight smile fitted over his face, aud he
seemed TO be in pleasant dream His slum.
bers continued for u considerable time, when
he suddenly awoke. He rubbed his eyes and
then spoke:
t'Ah, J" he said "I've had dream
about my young cooper. 1 Thought that I'd
hear something about him again. There is a
good spirit looking after his welfare, surely.
"When he finishes his apprenticeship and
is good cooper give him $40. 600 to start in
business" whispered voice in my ear. OF
course l will. He is worthy of encourage
ment. The money will go into good hands.
Ot course will give 1t to him, bnt in my own
way. All, ba ! I've plan for that" -
SUon the old man dropped into slumber
again. He had the same calm countenapce
and the same serene smile. His life vas
devoid of alleyil aud his dreams were Of good
deeds in store for the future N

Mr.. GirArd at this juncture placed in the
hand of the agitated young man the check
he had prepared,
''NOW." he continued, you shave cspi-

The young man broke. into torrent Of
thanks, but Mr. Girard abruptly stopped him,
