Forbear thy cruel blow ;
Oh, barber, hartu it not,
Hut lot niy goatee grow !
Oft, when a lisping child
In innocence arrayed,
* My mother fair and mild,
In accents sweet has prayed !
A tear was in hor eye,
As sho checked my childish glee ;
I ask thee with a sigh
Oh, barber, let it be.
My hoart strings round it cling, j
Like ivy to the oak ;
Would'st thou deep anguidi bring ?
Forbear thy burbcrod* stroke I ?
The storm without may rave;
Aocnrsed bo my lot;
"While I've a hand to save,
Thy steel shall harm it not.

A Good Story.
tloopor one of the Editors of the
Montgomery MaiL, perpetrates the following
good tale.
Shall X toll you a bit uf a story, liav- i
ing no connexion with politics, this'
hot, <lry weather? By permission :
Old Col.?, of the Mobile district,
was ono of the most singular characters
ever known in Alabama. I to was'
testy and eccentric, hut possessed many!
lino qualities, which were fully appro-1
ciatcd by the people of tlio district.? \
Many of his troaks are afresh in the i
memory ot the "old una" ot Mobile?|
and all of them will tell you that Colo-|
ncl, though hard to beat, was once tor-i
ribly taken in by a couple ot logal
tyros. It is George Woodward, I believe,
tells the storv; but however
that may bo, it is in kcoping with others
relatod of the old gentleman.
? 4'It seems that CoK I>. had a misunderstanding
with the two gentlemen
alluded to and was not on speaking
terms with them, although all of the
throo \vor6 professionally riding the
circuit pretty much together. The
young ones, being well a\raro of the
colonel's Irascible nature, determined,
' as they lett one of the courts tor another,
to have some sport at his expense
by the way. Thfev accordingly got a-1
bout half an hour a start in liming,
and presently they arrived at a l>*oad,
dark stream, that looked as if it might
be a dozen feet deep, but which, in
reality, was hardly more than as raoiv I
inches. Crossing it they alighted. pufing
oft' their coals and boots, and sit
down quietly to watch tor the old "Tat
tar."
Jogging along, at length came up
the old tellow. lie looked at first at
kho yonngsters, who were gravely
drawing on their boots and coats, as it*
ticy Ittul just hod ft swim, tuid then ho
!hxke<l at the broad cruek that rollod
:beftrc him like a flount translucent
star. The .colowol was awfully pnz,zled.
' is this creek swimming V' he growled,
after a pau.io of some moments.
No reply was made? the young
wioii simply mounted their liorscs anu
r<xhM)ft'soino little distance, and stopThe
colOiii l slowly divested himself
of coat, boots, pantaloons, and drawers.
ThesPmrTieatly tle<l np in his handkerchief,
and hung them on the horn
of the sa*Mte, then he remounted, and
as lie was a fat, short man, with a
jtuunch of inordinate legs, a face like a
withered apple, and a brown wig,
iherujp ilu doubt ho iiiadu ?n iniereal'nP
picture as be bestrode bid stood
with tho "breeze holding gcntlo dallianco
\rftb tho extremities of his only
garment.
?Slovvly ami cautiously did tbo^old
gentleman and his horse take the crook.
Half a length?and the water was not
fctkek deep.. Here the Itoreo stopped
t?MTink. A length and a half?aud
thfi stream no (teener! Thirty feet
further?and a decided ttjioa&ing. f
lloro Col. I), rained up. -There
must, said he, "be a thundering swift
deep channel between this and the
bank. Bee how tho water runs ! We
will dash thrbngh.' * *
A sharp lash made tho horse : prihg
tho watery waste, another curried the
bon* fftd ridor sa/<rfy to the opposite
b/igk. The erect* was Tjowhere |S&re
thaa^faot deep. >j, i
4^ yrild yell from the yqung, utis mas
they galloped t^way.

On?on?and the pursuer reached w
the farmhouse on the road side. Their i i
paasiiig startled a flock of geese frotn^F i
fence, corner, which, as the coloKel
dashed up, met him with outspread
wings, elongated necks, and hisses i
dire, Ilia lior^e swerved suddetit,
and the colonel in a moment was up|
on tho ground, in a most "imroniantic
1 heap," with his brown wig by his side,
and his bundle of clotncs scattered a
ronnd.
The white-headed children of the
houso come out first, took a distant
view of tho monster?as it seemed to
them and then returned to report progress.
After a little tho father of tho
Family came, and tho affair being
explained^ assisted tho colonel hi
making bis toilette?tho coloyel swear*
ing, and the countrjmau laghing all I

A Philadelphia paper telle a good
sorv about a young man and a stylish*

to Ikj married, a fow days since in that
city. While awaiting tho arrival
ot' tKo minister in the porch,
a tailor steppod tip to tho hridogrootn
presenting a bill for his wodding coat.
Tho bill must be paid at once or the
coat returned, but as the poor fellow1
had not a dollar beyond tne minister's
fee, there \v(u? a bright prospect that iie
would bo compelled to get married in
