A LONG-DELAYED SHAVE.

The celebrated French poet. Saint-Foix, who, in spite of his large income, was always in debt, sat one day in a barbers shop waiting to be shaved. He was lathered, when the door opened and a tradesman entered who happened to be one of the poet's largest creditors. No sooner did this man see Saint-Foix than he angrily demanded his money. The poet composedly begged him not to make a scene. " Won't you wait for the money until I am shaved ?" " Certainly," said the other.pleased at the prospect. Saint-Foix then made the barber a witness of the agreement, and immediately took a towel, wiped the lather from his face, and left the shop. He wore a beard to the end of his days.
