 Everything was quiet for the next few minutes, and the barber scraped away. Then. the bristles removed, the barber ran his hands through his hair. preparatory to cOmbing it. That seemed to remind him of something. Hairs getting thin. sir Shall put on some follicular freshener?" he in- quired.
 No" snapped the man.
 The barber fussed about some more and then. Try facial massage-just what you necd." he said. No; I only want the shave" said the man firmly.
 This appeared to get past the barber, for as he was flirting with the combs and brushes and looking over the cus- toner's cranial development he re- marked in a friendly and kindly tone, just as if the idea had that moment occurred 10 him, You oughter have your hair cut. sir"
 The tired mans patience was all gone now. Hang it." he exclaimed, If you are so an ious to cut some body's hair, why don't you cut your own? It's four times as long as mine"
 Sadly the barber looked at himself in the glass. His locks were best de- scribed by the mid-Victorian terms "ambrosial and umbrageous.''

Deeply Interested,

The play was one of Shakespeare'G tragedies. Mrs. Simmons and her little boy, having been unable to secure seats in the parquet. were well located in the front row of the first balcony, where they could see better and hear almost as well as if they had been farther forward on the main floor. Mrs. Simmons was agreeably surpris- ed at the interest that Bobby appeared to take in the somber drama. He sat leaning forward, with his elbows on the cushioned railing in front of him, resting his head on his hands, deeply absorbed. As the curtain went down on the first act he strengthened up.
 "Well, dear, how do you like Shake speareY' asked his mother. Are you enjoying the play?"
 Mamma" said Bobby with the air of one who has made a great discov- cry, ''there are sixty-nine men here that have got bald spots on top of their heads! I've counted lem five timesp'

where the daffCdils grew. And at the gate Robbie met Constantius, but the man scarcely bowed. His eyes were on that golden spot in the dusky cor ner.
 My Lady Daffodil he said softly.
 Miss Priscilla turned, started up. and her eyes were like stars.
 "Connie"- she gasped. and then Bob bic fled.
 And when he crept back later he found shades. on the silver candle sticks.
 He produced great bunch of daffo- dils and Judy put them in a silver bowl in the center of the table.
 'Judy. this is my old friend Con- stantius Mercer" said a happy voice.
 Constantius held Judy's hand and locked down at her. 'Priscilla and 1 have been wondering how you hap pened to make her wear that yellow gown today"
 "A little bird told me you were at the hotel"
 "A little bird?'
 "Bob-o-link," said Robbie from the other side of the table.
 "Oh," and Constantius grasped the others hand. ''I told you knew Miss Perkins?"
 Yes" said Robbie, and told Judy, and thereby hangs the tale.''
 But Constantius was not listening hand in hand with Miss Priscilla he was looking at the daffOdils that nod- ded under the golden light.
 And Judy, watching the old lovers, turned her eyes presently on her young lover and then her hand went out to him and behind the backs of the oth- CTS he bent and kissed her.

A SCHOOL OF REFINED TONE.
Morse College of Hartford is Considered the Culture Business School
 of the State.

Ore of the many points which we would advise parents to take into seri- ous consideration when selecting a school for either their sons' or daugh- tsIs' education is the matter of dis
 cipline. This need not be rigid, but it should be in such form that the parents are kept continually in. touch with the doings of the son or daughter while in the pursuit of his or her course of training The Morse Col lege of Hartford has a disciplinary and reporting system which has been reduced to an exact science. Every Monday morning parents get a de- tailed report of the scholarship of their son or daughter. This report

August as. 1879.

The Harwood family had their second annual reunion at Dry stal Lake yesterday There were present 1O2 members of the family. The reunion was largely social A brief season devoted to addresses was oc oupied by F. A. Harwood. chairman of the reunion committed, Lucius A Burpee of Rockville and of Yale col lege, Lucius Harwood of Warren, Mass, Samuel Harwood of West Stafford, 0 A. Harwood of Somers. and others
 It is perhaps not generally known that this vicinity is not destitute of venomous reptiles We hear that a ledge in the town of Ashford, on the road leading from Westford to Union. contains 8 den of rattlesnakes, and that one or more of the scare killed in that vicinity nearly every year. One has been killed in Westford this year, and several years ago one was killed upon the Westford and Union road which measured over fl ve fact in length. l. M Reed of Union once. killed very large rattlesnake in the yard of house in that town A little girl came in and said that 8 snake had jumped at her. MT. Reed went out to investigates, and found the snake and killed it. We have heard that some few years ago a rattler was killed on Stafford Street. G. Emb bert Marsdale, who, from an extended residence in Texas, has quite a know ledge of venomous reptiles, once, while chestnuting near Square Pond, came upon young rattler which was helpless with cold. A few years ago MT. Rosebrook, then engineer at the Mineral Springs company's mill, saw very large snake of strange appear ance beside the tail race. just below that mill, and threw a stone which hit it near tne tail. The snake made a rapid advance, and, having no other weapons, MT. R rttreated to the mill, from whence MT. Marsdale and Albert Eaton (now superintendent of the mill) went out and killed the snake, which MT. M. pronounced to be a water mocasin-as venomous as 8 rattler. They met the snake on their way out, and it came straight at them until it's course was stopped by blow from 8 stone. A ear later the persistent barking of a dog at the northeast corner of the fair ground, during the progress of ball game, drew some one to the spot, where the dog was found to be skirmishing around a venomous looking snake which kept ooiled. It was killed and brought down to the village, and was discovered to be Of the same specie as the mocasin killed by MT MarsdaIe.

Some Prophecies Fulfilled.

Long before his name was known outside his native country Oliver Crom- we'll was making one of his rambling speeches in the house of commons. Lord Digby asked Hampton who he was, and Hampton replied. If ever we should come to a breach with tho king, that slOvcn will be the greatest man in England" Never was any prophecy more completely fulfilled than this.
 Almost equally remarkable in it's way was Disraeli's prophecy. "But q time will come when you will hear me-" made when nothing appeared more unlikely than the brilliant series of triumphs which fulfilled it.
 Another instance of quickly fulfilled prophecy was furnished by Pope Plus VII. when he was told of Napoleon's escape from Elba. Don't worry about it," he said; ''it is storm that will be over in three months" The story of the hundred days proved his holiness to be right to a few hours. ~

WALL SIREEI WAS.
Methods of a Brilliant Operator ol
 Many Years Ago.

WSEnOQS ODGEax0F
 Many Years Ago.
 One or the most brilliant operators of Wall street in the early sixties of the last century was Walter Wellman Morse, though he was by comparison with some of the gray haired market veterans only a mere boy being just thirty years of age. The public con- fidence he enjoyed made it possible for him to realize profits in any stock
 Such was the influence his indorse- ment would carry that after he had accumulated stock at his prices he could tell his daily callers that the stock was due to go up. and immedi- ately there would be enough profess sional and public buying of the stock to send it up, thus enabling Morse to unload at profit
 An example of Morse's popularity was illustrated in a scene accompany ing the opening of subscriptions for stock in a coal mining company or ganized by him. The day the subscrip- tion book was opened people fioc!zed to the office and fought with each other In their efforts to enter and get their names recorded. One man who had subscribed for a large amount of this stock, after getting away from the crowd, came back and, walking up to MT. Morse. said "I say, MT. Morse. was that gold or coal stock l sub scribed for?'-Moody's Magazine.

The Turks Wonderment.

Writing on the battle of Navarino, a contributor to the CornhilI Magazine tells this striking little story.
 "ln the morning the surface of the bay was covered with floating spars to | which many poor wretches were cling ing, calling for help in different tongues. Among them were many Greek prisoners still with manacles upon their limbs. An English lieuten- ant who was putting ashore Turkish official was anxious to save some ex- hausted men who were clutching a scorched mast. We must rescue them! he exclaimed hotly.
 Bah! answered the Turk. They are only common soldiers and will soon die! Then he laughed
 "'Good heavens! exclaimed the Eng lishman angrily. What is there to laugh atP
 Laughr said the Turk By Allah, you English are a singular people! Yesterday you came into the bay while we were quietly at our coffee. You knocked our ships to pieces. killed or mangled all our men till the fleet is one vast slaughter house, and this morning you pretend to be so humane that you cannot pass a score of wounded sol diers without putting yourself out of your way to save them!"

Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer- ing women I am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter. ."-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY, RED, GraniteVille, Vt.
 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, alteration, local weak nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, ss Mrs. Barelaysay it is worth noun tainS of gold " to suffering women.
