Historic Bald Heads.

A correspondent of the Pail NAL
Gazette, descanting on badness, cites
some eminent examples as follows
The strength of Samson and the beauty
of Absalom lay in their hair, and there
is significance, no doubt. in the fact
that through their hair both of them
came to grief. Among the Greeks, the
two most famous bald men were E sch.
lus and Ulysses. TIE badness of Es-
chylus is known to have been the cause
of his death, an eagle carrying Il tor
toise in its claws having dropped its
prey with the view of breaking the
shell upon what it took to be Il rock,
but which Was in fact the shining skull
of q great tragic poet. The badness OF
ULYSSES is commemorated in the
"Odyssey," and the fearful vengeance
taken upon the tutors Of Penelope
seems to have been in q g eat measure
due to the pleasantries in which one of
them INDUCED concerning the glittering
aspect presented by her husbands
Uranium. Badness, however, was no
more admired in those days than in
our own; and when Ulysses was re
stored to youth stress is laid upon the
fact that locks of the most luxuriant
kind were given back to him. julius
Cesar was notorious for his badness,
and the jokes made on this subject by
his soldiers on the occasion of one OF
his triumphal entries into Rome are
only too well known. Nor need the
story be here repeated Of the pleasure he
took in wearing wreath which coV-
cred his denuded temples; and which,,
according to one Roman historian, was
mis- chief reason for valuing it. 1t may
be remarked, however, that the lifelike
bust of Julius Caesar in the British
museum is not that Of man who in the
present day would te considered bald.
The hair is not thick, and is brushed
forward in style which indicates de-
sire TO make up for certain want OF
hair in the region Of the forehead and
about the temple. Something. how
ever, must be allowed for the compli-
mentary disposition of the sculptor re-
producing the head OF IN a!l-powcriul
commander and ruler who WAS known
not to be without personal vanity.

where he had enjoyed so much happi-
ness in years gone by.
Rose listened to her father in silence,
then asking for his address, peaned

Yours, Rose" Rose told John all about
her escape from Fred's destinations, but
will never own that she would have ac'

Three Women in Court.

There was q jury trial in Justice alley
the other day in which nearly dozen
people living in the Western suburbs
were mixed up as plaintiffs, defendants
and witnesses. 1t appeared that Mrs.
Blank borrowed q washtub of Mrs.
Brown, and while in possession of the
borrower q cow knocked the bottom
odt. After neighborhood quarrel, suit
was brought to recover the amount.
Mrs. Blank thereupon put in as an offset
that she had nursed the plaintiff for three
days and received no pay.
Nurse mel" echoed the defendant,
"why she did nothing while she was
there but hog down custard-pie and
tattle about the neighbors."
Custard-pie! and who lent you sugar
and eggs, and lard to make it," shrieked
She other.
His honor put his foot down and
tpatched up temporary truce, and the
plaintiff took the stand to testify about
lending the tub and what it was worth.
She established the value at seventy-five
cents, and here the defendant boiled
over and exclaimed:
t "Seventy-ive cents! Why both ears
and thetop hoop were of! 1t was the only
tub she had had since her marriage, and
that was ten years ago."
"And I've had to lend it to you every
Tuesday all that time!" retorted the
tplaintiff.
His honor secured silence in the court
and the, defendant took the stand and
said that her services as nurse were
worth at least two dollars.
"What allied the PLAINTIFF" asked
1>the lawyer.
"Well, I don't know as l ought to say
that her husband struck her with
Don't you dare say that" inter-
rupted the plaintiff, "you know that

His honor pounded the desk until
everything ratified, and then witness
was put on the stand to testify that she

whose witness she was, called out:

chuckled one of the lawyers.
"Your honor, I object" added the
other.
"And 1 wouldn't believe the witness
under oath!" put in the defendant.
"Who wants you to-" squeaked the
witness. "IfI couldn't come into court
with anything better than calico dress
and q ten-cent lace collar I wouldn't
hold my nose so high!'
"This is too much-ten times too
much, and I want this courtroom
cleared right OUT" said his honor. and

ROSE MATHEWS.

The sun was sinking in the west, anc
as its rays fell aslant upon the gable enc
of a weather-stained house, among the
hills of small village in Massachu
sets, beautiful face stained with tear
drops, and head Of yellow hair made
golden by the sunbeams, looked from
out small window in the peaked roof
and, straining her eyes to catch the
beauties of the varying landscape, as il
for the last time, saw in the distance the
form CT one she had learned to look upon
as the dearest friend among her country
acquaintances. Wiping the tears from
aer eyes and brushing the golden
sresses, she went slowly down stairs to
nave quiet talk, and say goodbye >
perhaps, forever.
Some half dozen years ago Rose:
mother bad died suddenly, and Mr.
Mathews had taken it to heart so that
the doctors, fearing serious effects, had
sent him abroad.
Confding his little Rose to his favor
ite aunt,in the little Sillage of l., he
went abroad to seek the needed change
But after many weary months of rest
lessness, he found he was growing
weaker, and, settling himself quietly
down to die in little Swiss town, he
wrote his aunt that he had left every
thing to Rose, excepting a small an
nuity to her, and that he wished her to
keep Rose with her always, if possible. 50
But the Swiss air seemed to fill him
with new life,and contrary to his expec-
tations he began to improve. The little
country doctor understood his case bet
ter than his great Boston physician had
done, and after y couple of years spent
in quiet and observance of the health
regulations prescribed by tie little
Swiss doctor, he found himself growine
stouter and healthier than he had been
for years.
Sitting in the twilight he thought of
his little Rose, now budding into wom-
anhood, and made up his mind to trans
plant her to the old country, giving her
the benefit of travel, and chance to
make up her mind whether her affec-
tions would take root either in the little
Swiss hamlet he had grown so fond of,
or in some larger city of the old world.
Rose had received word that her father
would arrive in few days, and after
spending a couple Of weeks at the old
farm, would take her across the seas to
live with him.
A letter from abroad, in that quite
village, was something wonderful at that
time.
But, that one of their number, one
shat they had grown to look upon rs q
fair maiden belonging to their little
town forever, was to 60 abroad to live
was past all comprehension. The old
gray pastor came to see her, snd witt
tears in his eyes "hopeo lie w,ul
never fail to pray for her friends on this
side of the Atlantic, or feel above iht
religion she had professed in the littlc
white church" Tie village maidcns

The Difference.

Who warns his slippers for papa
When he comes home at night?
Who meets him with joyous laugh,
And blue eyes beaming bright?
Who climbs upon his ready knee,
And kisses sweet as kiss can be?
Our Kitty.
Who leases pooi old grandmamma,
And pulls her work away,
And with her gold-rimmed spectacles
Too often tries to play1
Who's full of mischief, sport and trn,
From early morn till day is done?
Our Kitty.
Whose little arms "hug mamma tight"
Whose lips give kisses sweet?
Who follows nurse about the house
With little restless feet7
Who sings to Dolly, scolds her, too,
And tries to act as "big folks" do?
Our Kitty.
Who, bent on mischief, truth to say,
Like any little elf,
Within the pantry hides to taste
The goodies on the SHELF
Who bothers cook, where'er she goes,
And makes her scold, you may suppose
Our Kitty.
But lest our Kitty chance to get
More than her share of blame
For mischief, Ill explain there is
Some difference in the name:
One Kitty is our child, yoa see;
The other, kitty's Cat

Footsteps on the Other Side.

Footsteps on the OtHer Siue'
Sitting in my humble doorway,
Gazing out into the night,
Listning to the stormy tumu.t
With q kind OF sad delight
Wait I for the loved who comes not,
One whose step 1 long to hear;
One who, thought he fingers from me,
Still is dearest of the dear.
Hark who comes-now heart exultant
In thy Joy forget to chide;
All It's but strangers footstep
Gone by on the other side .
All the night seems filled with weeping,
Winds are waiing mourntully,
And the ra;n-tears blent together
Journey to the restless sea,
can fancy, sea, you murmur,
AS they with your waters flow,
Like the grieis of single beings
Making up nations woe !
Branches, bid your guests be silent,
Hush a moment, iretiul raP,
Breeze, stop sighlng-iet me listen
Once more God grant not in vain;
To my cheek the blood is springiug
Like the bushes Of bride.
Joy alas again the footsteps
Pass upon the other side.
All ! how many wait oIever,
For the stems that never come;
Wait until the plying angels
Bear them toa avenly home.
Many in the still OF midnight,
In the streets have lain and died
While the sound OF human footsteps
Reached them from the other side.
Many wretch has paused moment,
CHANGING round with crazy eyes;
Death looked up from gloomy waters,
Death looked down from darkened skies
Paused, then leaped, where, God knows only
He alone heard "Jesus cried,
And the prayer, lost in the footsteps
Passing on the other side.
Ears, so oft you have deceived me,
Heart, such false alarms you beat,
can scarcely dare to trust you.
Yet methinks that up the street
Sounds step know, now nearer,
Faster comes it, till at last,
Happy wife his arms entold me,
And my weary vigil's past
God, give all who wait an ending
To their watch, as sweet as mine;
God, send out OF tears and storin-clords
Smiles to cheer and stars to shine.
God, bid dropping hearts be hopeful,
Strong in faith whate'er betide;
Trusting that ere long the footsteps
Will not pass the other side.
