A Fair Exchange.

Away down in Maine, in a region
where the usages remain as primitive as
they are anywhere in the United States,
there is an aged parson who performs
not only the ordinary clerical duties,
preaching to the people of the district,
marrying and burying them, but also
turns an honest penny by cutting their
hair on occasions. The old parson isn't
exactly an artist in this line, and is dis
tressingly absent-mlnded; but there is no
barber anywhere in the neighborhood,
and nobody there cares for q Parker
House cut any way.
One day 'Lige Jones, an old codger
and jack at all trades of tho neighbour
hood, came to the parson to get his, hair
cut; and the parson, who was evidently.
meditating too deeply his next Sundays
sermon to note what he was doing, cut
the hair in the most p~henomenally rag
ged and irregular style. In some places
he had shorn the hair down to the scalp
and in others left it almost untouched;
so that when he had finished his absent
minded task his subjects head had a
weird and unkempt look that was won
derful to behold.
What shall 1 pay yc, parson?" he
asked. ~
20, come and NOW the hazel brush
out back of the house tomorrow" said
the parson.
When 'Ligc got home his wife OK
claimed:
::Mercy on me-! What you been a'
doin'"
"Gittin' my hair cut" said 'Lige.
claws a me, if the parson didn't do
a purity job this timc," said she, "thcn
there amt no truth in the Reveia-
tion!'
The next day the parson had q funer-
al to attend to, and when he got home
he found tho man whose hair he had
cut the day before just leaving the
place. He had moved the hazel brush
so that in one spot the tops had just
been moved of, in another it was cut
half way down, in another moved to
the ground, and III another torn up by
the roots. 1t was the s~orriest looking
field that anybody ever saw
''Why, I dcclare!' said the parson.
''What have you been doing?"
"Mowin' the hazel" said 'Ligc.
"Mowin' it? You've been maDglin'
it," said the parson.
'Lige simply took off his hat and pre-
sented his chaotic crown to the parsons
gaze.
''Well, WE'LL" said he, "did I do
that? Well, come into the house and
I'll cut it for YOU"
The parson did the best work that he
could this time, considering the havoc
he had made the day before, and when
he had finished 'Lige Jones took MP his

The Opal an Unlucky Stone.

The opal is represented to be IN an
lucky gem. Perhaps, it is. Here is a
little evidence to prove it. A young
lady of this city received for one of her
wedding gifts a very handsome~ opal
covered that the opal was left at home.
1t was telegraphed for, to be drought
down to New York by a friend. The
friend carried it, as was supposed, but
on his arrival it was not to be found. 1t
had been mislaid somewhere. AFTER a
season it was found, and next m Jade its
appearance at a "tea," where it was an
adornment of the young lady. Arriving
home, the opal was found to be missing.
Search in every possible place and adj
vertising in the newspapers failed to re-
veal it's whereabouts for weeks. 1t wa
at last accidentally discovered caught
in the fringe of a Christmas card which
depended from a gas bracket, where it
had accidentally caught and swung
around face to the wall in hiding, not
five feet from where it was passed a
hundred times a day, and not three
inches from the button on the gas-fixt-
ure that was turned daily. The vaca-
ton of the opal was also unique. =, The
couple went into the mountains with
two trunks. Arriving at the hotel, one
of the trunks was q wrong trunk, al
though the right check was present.
Some laundering bagggage-master en-
route had made a wrong transfer, and
the trunk, which was the lady's, had
gone off on its own hook, or its "
check. "Here's a state of things" as
Ko-Ko would remark. The lost trunk
furnished the topic of conversation for
the mountain village, the hotel guests
condoled with the unfortunate losers.
shook their heads l~ugubriously, and
substantiated their shakes by cheer
ful(?) stories of lost trunks that they
had known about. The telegraph was
put into requisition, and, after many
days, the trunk made its appearance,
and then congratulations, fireworks in
the evening"" etc. The opal was IN
that trunk.-Hartford Post 49,,
