He was au ecoontxic nun. and numerous stories are told of hi* freaks. Hero is ouo of there 1 It s-ems that Billy, while in a conn try village, in which ho owned koi?c property, stepped into a barber's sbirp to ? et shaved. The sh ?p was lull }>}' customers, and the old gentleman quietly waited for his turn. A customer, who was dodcY tho bar ber's bunds when the <dd u:etitloinan came in, asked the "knight of the r.i? r," in an undertone, it ho knew who thai was .' and. on iccviviug a negative reply, lie informed him; in a whisper, it was -'Old iJilly G.bbou-, the riebest n?tu iu the State." ' (Jad," Buhjj tho barb, r,'Til charge hi in for his shave." Accordingly, ufter the old man h .d that operation performed, bo was some what surpri.-trd upou asking the price t Le told '?sfcvcnty-fit't' cents." "SSvCofy-fivo cunts I" &aid ho, rptitcly ' isn't that rather u high priee?" "It's my prieOf" Paid bo of the lather brush; independently, "and as this is the only burbur'a chop" iu tho place, i heut us cOtues into it mudt p.ij what I ask." Tu the old man Ulis warf c'-ideoily a knock-down argument, f?r he drew three-quarters of u dollar from Iiis . ocket, paid them over to the barber, at d left the shop. A short time after be was in close cotitorsatiou witb tho landlord of u t.acrn hard by, and the topic of suuver satiou was "barbers' shops." "Why is it," said be, ''there's ou|y ot.o barber's bhop in the' towu ? There teems, to be near I)- cuough work lor two," '?Well there Used lo be two." said lh" landlord, "till last winter, when this new man cuuie up Trout the ell) uud opened a new t>hop. ami us everything iu it was fresh and now, lolks sort ol deserted BjH Harrington's shop, which bud been going .'or nigfi fourteen years." '?]jut didn't this Bill do good work ? didn't be shave well, und?cheap?" "Well, ii8 lor thai,"said the landlord, '?Hill did his work well enough, but his shop wasn't on the main streot like tho new one. and didn't have 30 many pic tuTtss a*rrd' IVatfdsouie curtains, uud folks got in the way of tbiuktng tho uow chap was inure scientific and brought more city ladh)ous with hiui, though, to tell the truth," said the landlord, strik ing a chin sown with u beard resemb ling screen wire, "1 never want a ligh.'e. touch or u kcciicr razor thau Bdl 11 ir ringtor 's " "City Cushions?eh ?" growled the ulu man. "so the new uiati s c.ty tushi >na shut tip tlie other barber s shop ?" "Wc;l, not oxuetiy," said tho land lord, "though things never did seem to go well wit 11 liul after tbu tu.w shop opened ;?first; one of his little child j rCQ died uf lever; then his wile wu<* sick j a long time, and Bill bud a big bill to pay at the Uootor's j thou, us a hist' mis lortuoc,- his shop bunned doWu on uight, tools, brus?es, lur-u'iture, uud ml, and 110 insur-unoe." '?Well," said1 tbo old im.n, poltishly, "why don't bo sUirr again.V ''Start ngaiu 1" said-tire conluiUuiliitivc laud lord; "why, bless your soul, he hasn't got uny ?hing to start with." "Ji?iu?m ! Wburo does this man j live?" asked the old man. ' Ho was directed, aud etc Jun^j was ia conversation with the unfortunato tutu Bor, who covroborated the landlord's story. "Why doo?t you take a new shop V said the old man ; ''there's a new one io the block right opposite Tho other barber's shop " "What l" said the other, "yo? tn?st be crasy. "Why, that block belongs to old Billy Gibbons; he'd never lot Otie of theBa storos lor a barber's shop ; they are a mighty sight too good; besides that, I haven't got twe.ity dol lars in the world to fit it up with.,' "You don't know old Bill Gibbons as well as I do," said the other. "Now listen to tue. If you can have that shop all fitted up, rent free, what will you work in it for by the in? nth ??' what is the least yo? can live on ?" 'J his proposition somewhat startled the utiturtuuute hair-dresser, who tiuuily luund word* to sttiuiuier out that per haps twelve or fifteen dollars a uiunth v "uld be aluiut enough. "Pshaw V e-aid the old mufl, "that Won't d?j/ Now listeu to tue?I'll give you that clvte, rent, free, otic )ear, and eng. go your services six mouths, ail ou tho>o conditions. You arc to shave aud eut hair for every body that applies to you. and take no pay ; just charge it all to Mo, and lor your services I'll pay you tweuty dollars a mouth, payable in ud vance?pay to commcucu now," coo tiuued he, tilacing tv*u ten dollar notes on the table bdore the astonished bar ber?who, it is almost unnecessary to staie, accepted tho proposition, rt nil who was btill niore surprised to learu that it was Billy Gibbons himself who had hired hi in. In a lew days the iniiahit.ints of that village were astonished i.y the appear unre of a splendid uew barber's sh ?p, lar su passing the other in elegance of appointments, und in which, with new i uiugs, soaps, razors, aud perfumes, stood a h.art>er aud.assistant ready fo.do'duty on the heads und beards of the people. Ovrr the door was inscribed, "William Hurriiigti n. Shaving and IIair Dressing SsAiou." '. fi'? people tters not low;? ascertain iug or slow in availing themselves oi j tin privileges of this establishment, and it is not to bo wondered that it w.is crowded :,,-k(l the other d?>sortod. The ctu-r held out some weeks, srjepecling thii free fhaving?-Wrr Bill kdpt his secret well?was bill- a dodge to euice customers away, who would soon he charged as usual ; but when at klw end uf six wefk?

Meantime, "Bill Harrington" kept on busy as a bee, aud one finn nloining his employer stepped in, aud. with.nit a word, sat down and was shaved ; on ris ing from his chair he asked to sec the score for ihc si* mo alts past. The bar ber exhibited it, and after a carclul cal culation, the old man said : "l'ieuty of customers, eh ?" ?Well/' r plied Money Ba^rs, "you haw kept tho account well. I I've paid you one hundred and twenty dollars fur services;?all right?and there are three hundred ??? A .?.:.??.? ?i-i r..? .1.

Ihirh *.--The loud and clamorous quuvkffj'g of ducks, gees'', aud other water fowls is a sign of rain, as it is. also, when they wash themselves, und flutter about in the water more than usual. Virgil has well diseribcd all the>c habits of acquatio birds. Fishes when they bite more readily than u.-rtal. und gambol near the Surface of pools uud streams, foreshow raiu.

Robin Read Breast, when they with more than ^ordinary familiarity, lodged on our window frames, and peck against the glass with their bills, indicates severe weather, of which they have a presentiment, whioh brings them nearer to the habitations of man. Spiders, when seen crawling on the wall more than usual, indicate raiu. In the summer, tho quantity of webs of tho garden spiders deuote fair weather.

You, I stand in waiting until the young man has finished his paragraph, when he kindly gives you the benefit of a casual inspection, and resumes his paper, inci dentally remarking that he thinks; not. Put upon, but not discouraged, you resume: "When is ho likely to bo in 7" "Fecblyj "Can't eay," devouring another paragraph about a boy being chawed up by a dog in Iowa. In doubt whether you may safely ask another question, you still muster up courage enough to inquire r "Where will 1 be likely to find him ?" Without looking up: "In Milwaukee." Irritated at this cool trifling with your time aud patience, you demand : "Could you not have said ns much at first ?" Imperturbably, "If I'd been asked I could, old boy." And you, who had thought yourself able to stand before kings, retired from tho presence of this bold, brassy boy, discomfited. A gentleman of my acquaintance, oi tho very Soest sensibilities, and one to whom a word is severer than a blow, wcot with a lady friend fo a great depot in this city to help lur off ou a journey.
