PEOPLK.

FIRST TIME IN A BARBER SHOP. [Danbury 2?ew*J The first time In barber shop fa an event of importance in every young man's life, lie will wait, in some eases, three weeks after determining to do it, and on the eventful day be has been known to sneak by the shop seventeen times, summoning up his conrage tor the trying ordeal. On entering the door, he feels that everv one in the room knows this is his first appearance, and that they are microscopically searching tor his beard. The barber gives him a I hard look when notifying him that it is now bis turn. But he is determined to put on a stifT upper Hp, as worldly people say, and go through the operation with the stoicism of a veteran, lie is remarkably sensitive to ridicule, and not for the world would he bavo the barber know that this was the first ftbave. So he sita on the arm of the chair instead of oil the seat, and iu getting down lays too flir back. When told to bring up iiia bead, he hastily does it, and knocks ovor the stool in the opera tion. This causes the-blood to ru*h to his face, and the embarrassment which produces it is not at all modified by detecting the barber exchanging significant glances, with the operator at the next chair. When tbo lather is being put on he catiuot control the working of his imagination, and be finds himself iosHe«ie3 of an irresistiblo desire to

Hmile sheepishly. This proneness to xrin is inexplicable, but itls inseparable from tho first shave, and the victim is obliged to resort to every facial artifice to overcoino it, and then doesn't »ucvecd. There me several ways to indicate the young man who Ls having hit lirst shave at the hands of a barber, but the most infalliable sign is the diawing up of the under lip when the razor ap proaches that little hollow between tho chin and mth. This always causes a barber to grin, lit is sure of the man now. a hold srnbktj for uusisfss.

A watchmaker at Florence, Ala., once told us how he managed to got into business there. He settled in the nlace a stranger, just after the people had start••d anew town clock in tho tower of the court house, but nobody came to give liitn a job. A week or two passed on without improving his prospects, when in a kind ot desperation he dt-termined to tnuke a bold strike for business. Everybody swore by the town clock, of ourse—a fact, which our watchmaker knew so nflrr night he made his way into the tower ana changed the hands a lew minutes, lhard nothing of it on the day following, and so changed them again iho next night. On the morning after the second change had been made, man called on tho watchmaker and upoko of employing him to regulate the town clock but the wutchmaker told him he thought no regulation was necessary, as he had noticed that the clock was running uxactly with his time, and drawing forth his w^tch, ho compared it with the clock, .and sure enough tlioy were exactly together. Next morning the town clock and the watches of the placo wore farther apart than usual, and tho gentleman who had called at the watch shop the day before, now again presented himself accompanied by several friends. To their great surpri.se thov found tho watchmaker's regulator antf watch still exactly with the clock, and that settled tho question. They all left their watches to be cleaned, remarking that they would rather have no watches at, all'than svatches that did not keep time. The news spread other irregular svatches came in by the score, Hntil, Ix-fore tho day was over, the watchmaker had the window hung entirely full of work.

A T1IOUUHTFUL TAILOR. A young man from of tho suburban district (says an exchange) was in one of our tailor shops getting measured for a vest, the other afternoon. "Married or unmarried queried the merchant, after taking down the number. "Unmarried," said the young man with a blush. "Inside pocket on tue lelt hahd side, then." "observed the tailor, as if to hlm^ self, making a memorandum to that effect. Alter a moment's pause, the voung man froui the suburbs was prompted to ask: "What difference does my I icing married or unmarried make with the inside pocket of the vest?" "Ah! my dear sir." observed the tailor, with a bland sinile, "all the difference pca«lbl«, AS you must HOC. llcing unmarried, \u want the pocket on tho left side, so" to bring the young ladj'a picture next to your heart." "Rut don't the married man also want his wife's picture next to his heart?" ouoried tho anxious youth, "l'oaslbly there is an Instance of that kind," said the tailor, arching his eyelirow*, "but I never heard of it."

Now I remember «mee I was walking along the street with Tom Jellicks, ana he went down one «ide of it and I went down on the other. .We hadn't got more'n halt way down *wbon he found a pocketlxjok with t2Bl lin it, and I stepped on a woman's drew and got acquainted with my present •wif*.

and

vulgar way, as they svero gentlemen, but it was plain to be seen that thoy ridiculed me. All my prayers and of forts to bring them to repentanc.- seemed posverlcss. I begged of them to stay away, for they seemed to neutralize all my efforts, but they persisted in attending. Finails', I put niv faith in God, and prayed for those infidels. This svaThursday night, and I resolved to last until they svere brought to Christ. I hold meetings Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and worked harder than I have done here. During that time I nos-et tasted of food. I had not experienced the slightest desire for it, or the least hunger. All tho nourishment I had svas one glass of ss'ater a day, and I drank that, not because I felt thirsty or wanted it, but because my friends urged it upon me. Yet I nover felt healthier or stronger. God had taken me up in the almighty grasp of his almightiness, and held me cfose to him. The skeptics were apparently unmovod, and resisted all my persuasions and prayers. But on Sunday night a great victory was gained for Christ. I nad twenty-one of those skeptics at the altar prostrate around me. It was a scene never to be forgotten. It seemed aa though they were filled with the Holy Ghost. I requested them to rise up and sing, and as they commenced the hymn, *1 am saved by the blood of th® crucified oue,' I felt a change coming over me, and was all weakness. It was with difficulty that I could stand. But I refused to eat. I repaired to my room to fast and give thanka for the great victory I had gained. Got!, Christ, the Spirit and angels were there. Next morning I waa so fkint tbat I could hardly drees myself, and I felt very hungry. Thla Is unaccountable by all rules of moral science, but all things are possible through ChrUt. From tbat time the work seemed wonderfully blesaed."
