7 HE LITTLE QUAKERESS.
“I would wear,” said a little Quakeress,
“A silken ribbon of bine ;
It would look just like a glittering gem
On my gown of sober hue.”
"We are r.ot of the world, my Ruth ;
Thee must not take delight
On what thee knows the Lord frowns on,
The garb of‘Colors bright.
“But doth he frown ?” the small thing said,
01 He paints the earth and skv ;
Sweet flowers he makes of every tint—
He frowns? I wouder why.”
"Thee knoweth in ignorance of him
The flowers grow, my Ruth ;
We may not, like those senseless things,
Lack reasoning and truth;
"W r e, we who have hearts and heads and
hands
To gnide us in onr dress ;
For he hoth taught tie plainly, child,
A godlike soberness."
A smile illumed the face of Ruth ;
"May be,” said the Quaker elf,
"God painted the shining flower because
It could not dress itself!”
Barberous Experieuce.
Burdette, the humerou3 writer of the
Burlington Haxckcye, tells what he knows of
barbers and their ways in the following
style :
On the fourth of December I was in Bos
ton, thinking about a lecture 1 was expected
to deliver in the evening, and so badly scared
that I couldn’t remember the subject nor
what it was about. I went into a Tremont
street "Institution of Facial Manipulation
and Tonsorial Decoration” and inquired for
the professor who occupied the chair of
Medaeval Shaving and Nineteenth Century
Shampoo. One of the junior members of
the faculty, who was brushing an under
graduate’s coat, pointed me to a chair, and
I climbed in. When the performance was
about concluded, the barber said to me :
"Have your hair trimmed, sir ?”
1 believed not.
‘ Needs it very badly, sir,” he said, “looks
very ragged.”
I never argue with a barber. I said, ‘all
right, trim it a little, but don’t make it any
shorter.”
He immediately trimmed all the curl out
of it, and my hair naturally, ton know, has
a very graceful Cnrl to it. I never discov
ered this myself until a few months ago, and
then I was very much surprised. I discov
ered it hy looking at my lithograph.
Well, anyhow, he trimmed it.
On the 6ih of December I was at Bath,
Maine. Again 1 was shaved, and again the
barber implored me to let him trim my hair
When I answered him that it had been
trimmed only two days before, he spitefully
asked where it was done. I told him, and
he gave expression to a burst of sarcastic
laughter.
‘•Well, well, well,” be said at Inst, “so you
let them trim your hair in Boston? Well,
well. Now you look like a man who has
been srennd the world enough to know bet
ter than that.”
Then he affected to examine a lock or two
very particularly, and sighed heavily.
“Dear, dear,” he said, “1 don’t know,
really, as 1 could do anything with that hair
or not ; it’s too bad."
“No,” he said, “Oh, do, it wasn’t necessary
to cut it any shorter, it was really too short
now, but it did need trimming.''
So he trimmed it, and when I faced the
Rockland audience that night, 1 looked like
a prize fighter.
In four days from that time I was sitting
in the chair of a barber dowH in New York
State. He ahaved me in grateful silence
and then thoughtfully run bis fingers over
my lonely hair.
“Trim this hair a little, sir?” he said,
“straighten it up about the edges?”
I meekly told him I had had it trimmed
twice during the preceding week, and I was
afraid it was getting too short for winter
wear.
“Yes,” he said, “be didn’t know bat what
it was pretty short, bat be didn’t need to
cut it any shorter to trim it. It was very
bad—ragged shape at the ends.”
I remained silent aDd obstina*c-. and he
asked me where 1 bad it trimmed last. I
told him, and be burst into a shout of laogb
ter that made the windows rattle.
“What's the matter, Jim?” inquired an
assistant partner down the room, holding
his patient in the chair by the nose.
Jim stifled bis laughter and replied :
“This gentleman bud his hair trimmed
down in Maine.”
There was a general burst of merriment
all over the shop, and the apprentice laid
down the brush be was washing and cume
over lo look at the Maine cut, that he migliL
HAMPTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1879.
never forget it. I surrendered. "Trim it •
little then,” I groaned, “butrin tho noine of
humanity, please don't out it any shorter ”
"No,” the barber said, "he weuldn’t make
it a hair’s breadth shorter.”
When I left that shop, if it hadn’t been
for my ears, my hat would have fallen clear
down on my shoulders. When I reached
the hotel, everybody started, and a eoople of
men got up and read a hand-bill on the
wall, dfscript ive of r convict who had re
cently escaped from Ring Sing, and looked
from the bill, to myself very intently. That
night several of the audience drew revolvers
as I came out on the platform.
Then I went to Amsterdam, New York.
The barber of that sleepy village, who, in
tbc interval ol his other dulies nets as«mayor
of the town and edits the loeal papers, under
took to shave me with a pifee of hoop iron
he polled oat of his hoot Ipg. When I re
sisted, he went into the kitchen and came
back with the kitrbon knife and a can
opener, and offered me my choice. I selected
the can opener, and he began the massacre,
remarking incidentally that he used to keep
a good sharp spoke-shave for his particular
customers, hut he had lost, it. Then be said
my hair needed trimming very badly;
I protested that it was impossible; it had
been trimmed ten times within ten days and
was as short now as a business man on the
first of January.
"Oh,” he said, "it wasn’t too short, and
besides, there was no style about it at all.
He could give it some shape, however, he
said without making it any shorter.”
So I snrrpndered and told him to shape
it up. And if that foredoomed, abandoned
Amsterdam son of an oakum-pieker didn’t
go out into the woodshed and come back
with a rnsty old horse rasp and began to file
aw*y what little hair I had left. He allowed
a few shreds and patches to remain, how
ever, clinging here and there to my scalp in
ghostly loneliness. I rather feared that my
appearance that evening would create a
panic hut it did not I observed that the
majority of the audience had their heads
"shaped rip” after the same manner, nnrl
were rather pleased with my conformity to
the local custom and style.
Well, I got along to Corry, Pennsylvania,
and rushed in for a shave and got it, in one
time and two motions
"Hair trimmed, sir ?” the barber said
I snpposed he was speaking sarcastically,
and so 1 laughed, but very feebly, for I was
getting to be a little sensitive on the subject
of my hair, or rather, my late hair. But he
repeated his question and said that it needed
trimming very badly. I told him that that
was what ailed it. it had been trimmed to
death : why, I said, my hair has been
trimmed five times during the past thirteen
days. And I was afraid it Wouldu’t last
much longer.
“‘Well," he said, “it was hardly the filing
for a man of my impressive appearance, who
would naturally attract attention the moment
I entered a room (I have to stand on my
tiptoes and hold on with both hands to look
over the bark of a car seat) to go around
with such h head of hair, when be could
strnighten it our for me in a minute.”
I told him to go ahead, and closed my
eyes and wondered what would come next.
That fellow took a pair of dentist’s forceps
and “pulled” everv lock ®f hair I had left.
“There,” he said proudly, ‘ now when your
hair grows out it will grow out even.”
I was a little dismayed at first when I
looked at my glistening poll, but after all it
was a relief to know that the end was
reached, and nobody cnold torment me again
to have my hair trimmed for several week*.
But when I got shaved at Ashtabnla, the
baiber insisted on puttying up the holes and
giving my head a coat of shellac. I yielded,
and my head looked like a varnished globe
with the map 9 left off. Two days afterwards
I sat in a barber’s chair at Mansfield. Then
he paused, with a bottle poised io his hand,
and said : *
“Shampoo ?”
I answered him with a look. Then he
oiled my hairless globe and bent over it for
a moment with a hairbrush. TheD he said :
“On which side do yon part your hair ?”
A citizkx went into a Norwich hardwaic
store the other day and inquired: “How
much do you ask for a bath-tub for a child?’’
“Three dollars and seventy-five cents,” was
tbe reply. “W-b-e-w!” whistled the cus
tomer, “Guess we’ll have to keep on wash
ing the baby in the coai-scuttle till prices
come down.”
“I have a great ear, a wonderful ear,”
said a conceited musician, in the course of
conversation. “So has a donkey,” replied a
bystander.
“True worth, like the rose, will blush at
its own sweetness.” Good! Could never
The Cruel Khedive.
Tfic account* of the distress now existing
in the tbUpv cf the Nile remind the writer
of n gpene he witnessed in the winter of
lftGtl. Starting from fairo for a trip np
the >fHe, we slopped the first night near the
row of sneient Memphis, to which we
walked in the moonlight. We were anr
prisednt seeing on the plains mile or two
south of ns a Urge gathering of people bear
ing lights. Upon going to the spot we
*' than a thousand men, women anil
cluldr 'o engaged in throwing up an embank
ment for.fhq railroad the khedive was hnild
ing from Cairo to Thebes by forced labor
No machinery or fools whatever were used
except basket*. These, the poor wretches
were filling with their hands, placing them
upon their heads, and slowly and wearily,
except when accelerated hy the voice and
fash of the overseer, dragging themselves np
the embankment and dumping them at the
end. The fmhankment, I judged, was nhnnt
twelve or fifteen feet higher than the plain,
and perhaps forty feet wide. The baskets
of the men would contain shoot three pecks
of the I'ght. dry, alluvial earth ; those of the
women about a half bushel, and the children
perliap- a peck. This was all forced labor
—no pay whatever. The khedive would
send a steamer up the river to a village, and
call for from fifty to two hundred people of
all ages nod rpxps to go, without pny, nnd
work on this railroad for one month, at the
end of which time he would send them, or
what was left of them, back. The bodies of
those who died from exhaustion helped to
swell the embankment. No time for senti
ment. What their hours of labor were I
could not find out, but I saw them at work
at 10 pm. I saw villages np the rivpr
partly depopulated, because of a late visit of
these steamers, and one entirely abandoned
and partly in ruins, having been fired into,
as wps said hy our dragoman, because the
‘ sheik” could not or would not furnish the
required quoin. It was the intention to
grade the entire road of ppverel hnndred
this way. Whether it has been Re
compiled I am not aware. “ Onr' jfnrty
chartered a government steamer for the trip.
At the coal stations the nffieers impressed
the first na'ives they could catch snd com
pelled them to coal our steamer in the same
manner the railroad was being graded, in
baskets carried on the head. Ido not won
der that with this system of unpaid labor in
foil force, with all the palaces of the khedive,
with his great desire for improvements, and
his large and disastrous attempts at cotton
irrowing nnd sugsr-making. there should
finally be distress in the valley of the Nile.

The Price of Poetry.
It is related that a gentleman recently
took to Mr. Bryant a espy of an early edi
tion of his poems, with the request that the
poet would pot his autograph in it. He
incidentally mentioned that he had paid $5
for it. “Why,” said Mr. Bryant, “that’s
more than 1 got for the copyright.” But
“Temptation,” writing to the Hartford
Courunt, notes several instances of fetter
compensation to poets, lie suys Longfel
low did not get S4OOO (S2O per line) for
“The Hanging of the Crane.” He got SIOOO.
It was originally offered to the Atlantic
Monthly, and accepted, at a compensation of
$250. ’Then Bonner made the author an
offer of SIOOO for a poem of this length fop
the ledger ; the publishers of the Atlantic,
appreciating the circumstances, pleased it to
the author. He received S3OO in addition
for the use of it for public reading purposes
before it appeared in print. The Cornhill
Magazine's compensation for Tennyson's
“Tithonus” was $7 50 per line, and the
Nineteenth Century paid him sl2 50 per
line for “The Revenue.” Some of the best
of Longfellow’s earlier poems were sold to
Gra'iam’s Magazine for small sums. Except
the Knickerbocker, which did not pay much,
and for which Longfeiiow did not write
there were then do other periodicals that
paid for poetry. The Boston Miscellmy.
which Lowell edited, had the disposition to
do this; but it did not live long, and had
little means while in existence. From fifty
to a hundred dollars need to be paid men of
established reputation for poems for anniver
sary occasions, when societies had the means.
Dr. Holmes’ longest -poem, “Urania—a
Rhymed Lesson,” was given before the Mer
cantile Literary Association of Boston. He
was at first not inclined to write it, hut wa=
startled by the magnificent offer of S2OO, and
felt that he could Dot afford to neglect such
an opportunity. It occupied nearly an boor
in its delivery. Longfellow and Whit tier
have realized considerable sums ftom their
poems in book form, making probably more
than do their publishers. I/mgferiow’s most
profitable book wag ''
gave an extraordinary sale on its first ap
pearance. Whittier’s “Rnow-Round” also
sold largely, as did IjongfeffnwV'The Hang
ing of the Orane,” psprcmllv in a holiday
edition. Trnnvson received n vpry hund
>n«np srtm from bis Region nnhl shers for his
"Enoch Arden,” and his hooks sell be’* of
all in America, while it i* sa'd that Long
fellow’s have the largest popularity in Kng
land. The sale of Holmes’ poOms is consid
ers fily larger than that of Lowell’s, but fills
below the sales of T/mgf flow and Wlmtier.
S. Y. Evening Poll.
ITovr Hoggs Rnn for Office.
Boggs was as peaceable * man as ever
lived.
He was sober, honest and respected.
He bod never pounded his wife.
Never taken anv interest in n dog fight.
Had never been known to pawn somebody
pise’s watch.
And never had attempted to steal a saw
mill.
Boggs’ eharnrfer was above reproach.
He was a shining light in society.
All Boggsville looked up to and honored
him.
But a changp eame, a fearful, direful
change.
In on evil hour Boggs aeeep*ed the nomi
nation for constable of bis native villagp.
Alas! poor Boggs !
Little did ho understand the deceit and
treachery of the wicked world..
His eyes were soon opened, however.
In le c S than a week after he was nominat
ed the opposition had fnllv established the
following damaging charges against his
character
1, That hr was a free lover xnd an infidel.
2. That he had fed his neighbor's hens on
poisoned corn.
3 That he had broken his mother-in-law’s
jaw with an iron boot-jack.
4 That lie on one occasion gave a whole
wagen load of green wntermelons to on or
phan asylum.
5. That he had served n term in the State
prison for hnr»e etanKng.
G That lie had pet firs to his next door
neighbor's barn, merely because he refused
to lend him a hop.
7. That because he had found a button of!
his phirt, he tied his wife to the bed-post
nnd mashed in three of her ribs with the
stove poker.
8. That his chief RondoV amusements
were cock fighting and card playing,
9. That he sold his vote every year regu
larly to the highest bidder.
Ifi. That he wasn't fit for the place any
how.
These charges, though without the slight
est foundation, were religions’y believed by
a majority of the voters of Boggsville.
And Boggs’ political goose was cooked.
IT is chances for being elected were no*
worth three cents on the dollar.
When Boggs pa=«pd along the strpet, his
neighbors looked at him with suspicion, and
crossed over on the other side
Boggs was a miserable being.
The day of town-meeting eame at Inst,
and Boggs’ opponent scooped in the con-
by a two-thirds vote.
The anti-Boggs party swept their candi
date into office on the filial wave of popular
ity, »nd poor Boggs was left pprclieil high
np on the spike-mounted picket-fence of de
spair.
Boggs will never run for office again, not
even for President 1 .
He says that it is too great a strain on
character.
If he can regain the esteem of his friends
by grubbing along in the old way, he intends
to do if, and leave office-seeking to people
of cast iron reputation.
Boggs is just coming to his senses.

Making Our Friends attfome.
Is it possible for our friend to "jn*t mqke
himself at home” in oar hewse. as we .often
'
invite an! enjoin him to dor Something
de|)ends, no doubt, on the Iriend, but more,
we think, on the home ’ If the guest be in
capable of forgetting his own home, Aid
given to contrasting unfavorably ewVlhing
that is unlike it in others ; dr If he be mie
of tbc nividnptive eori—a human.,cat,”
who is never at •ease when nut of his aceus-
Ipaied haunts, or if be per
haps, this is she) only goes out anion* fri**ds
to be "entertained,” in such a case you .can't
well make them at home, nor avoid wishing
them there 1
On the other hand if you desert the pleas
ant family quarters nnd plant yonr fririvf
amid the unused fineries of the stiff‘"best
rooms” if von keep the children cm drCss
parade, and break up all their wonted good
times ; if you palpably make a decided dif
ference in the family lare, a* if yenr friend
came to learn the qnalificaiions of yonr cook
or to judge of your ability to "keep a hotel;”
if, in n *ord, you* everyday domestia life is
so broken np that having a guest implies a
complete change in the internal nrrange
menls and economies of the household, be
cannot, if a sensible and sensitive person, feel
himself “at home," for he will perceive that
yOu are not.
Think what being "at home” means "to
yourself, and try and let yonr guests bare
something of that feeling. You require a
certain liberty and an atmosphere of nntar«l«
ness for yonr contentment; a knowledge
that you are-not making any undue work or
worry, and a aort of slippers and dresging
gown freedom of deportment, for yonr com
fort. You don’t want yonr down-sitting
nnd np rising too much plunned out for you.
You expect to be courteous and agreeable
and punctnal, and to practice the rest of the
household virtues as much as in you lies,but
you don’t want to talk at a mark ail the
time, nor to have everything give way to your
entertainment. There isn’t a better rule of
politeness and hospitality in the world than
the rule railed the "golderf.” The trouble
is that we kpep it too much for ethical or
"great moral” questions, instead of turning
it to use in the everyday affairs of life. We
can b«st ennblc our friends to make them
pnlves at home by keeping it homelike fer
them.
A Sa«J Story.
A fist young man who hud lived hard and
wasted a splendid constitution fell ill at
Rome. At one moment it was thought be
die. His disease was contagions.
His friends fled from him with fear. When
he recovered from the dangpr which threat
ened he was blind. When he was told he
would be blind.for life he cursed heaven, hell
and earth I His curses were answered by
nn angel’s and an angel’s voice and a
woman’s bnnd.gently smoothed his pillow.
Never had a voice so touched his heart.
Who was this woman who was caring for
him when atl had fled ? Who was this min
istering angel ? Hp was told that she was
the daughter of a family in the hon«e, and
that when ehp heard of bin d'shlate position
she would have no pay, but spent her days
and nights bv his bpdside, never sleeping,
never erasing her watch, tintil he was out of
danger. When he heard this he forgot the
terrible misfortune which had struck him.
He forgot that he was blind, fie forgot
everything, save the girl who bad risked her
life for him. and this time he blessed Provi
dence for the inexpressible boon granted him
—a true woman Vlove. They were married.
But each time that the poor blind man said,
“I love you. darling Love you more than I
ever loved before. Nor did I think I could
ever love so mneh”—each time he spoke of
love, each time be pressed her in his arms,
the poor wile felt her heart beat loudly in
her breast and her cheeks grew red a.# 6re.
Why? Because she was ugly and knew it. .
“Yon are beautiful, my own,” he would say.
“No. I am ugly, she would an-'wer, with
a forced laugh, while a tear of something
Ilk'* shame triek'od down her cheek. He
only thought she was jesting, and he ki-sed
her all the more. Besides, what did it mat
ter ? Was he uot blind?. And her voice
was the vpry sweetest of anv he had ever
heard. Several years p ssed thus, years of
untold happiness to the loving wife, who, ou
account of her homeliness, had never dreamed
-be could be loved. But suddenly one day
her husband exclaimed: “I see!” Well,
he was odlv the average brute of a man. As
soon as he found out that she was homely b<v
ceased to love her, and re-utned his old life
of debauchery. She has toe crosses aud
suficrings of an abandoned wife. Her only
hope is that her husband may again lose his
sight and return to her arms.
