THE BARBER OF NUREMBERG, [From the French.] The large clock on the town-house of Nurem- berg struck the hour of ten as the barber of the University, after seraping the ching of a dozen students, was preparing to retire to rest, when suddenly the door of bi shop opened, and a men of short stature, but robust frame, quickly stepped towards him. The appearance and language of this personage, whom the barber never remembe: to have seen before in his shop, indicated a jovial fellow and a man free fom all care, His costume was rather singular. He wore a broad-brimmed hat, an old-fashioned coat, and gray breeches fa tsned with copper buckles. His hair, curling, and black as the ravens wing. fell upon houlders; his mous- taches were long and thick, and his beard had at least five days’ growth. He bowed in a free and familiar manner upon entering the shop, aud unceremoniously seated himself in the arm cbair that received the barber's customers. The barber gazed with astonishment upon the stranger, and could not recover from his sur- prise at such familiarity. ‘The other. without noticing in the slightest the astonishment of the barber, passed and repassed his hand over his heavy beard. At longth he said: “Can you shave me?” “Sir?” said the barber, with as much assu- rance as if he had net understood him. I ask you if you cxn shave me?” replied the other, in a loud voice. “ Have I come for anything else but that?”’ And again he eom- meneed stroking his beard complacently. The barber was a tall, spare man, furnished with legs somewhat resembling spindles; he might have been about fitty years of age, and courage. even in his youth, had never been the most brilliant trait in his character. Still, he had too much personal dignity—he. the barber patronized by the professors of tho University— to allow himself to be defied with impunity by a stranger in hisown house His anger was stronger than the sensation of fear he experi- enced, and he listened to the question of his in- solent visitor with an assurance unusual to him. “You ask me. sir, if Tean shave you,” said he, continuing to whet a razor which be wag holding in his hand when the stranger entered. “I do not see any obstacle why I should not. notwithstanding the late hour of the evening. I can,” continued he. jestingly, * shave any man who has never had any beard on his chin You would not be more difficult to shave than any other person, although your beard has some resemblance to the hair of a hedge-hog. or any other animal of that kind.”’ “‘ ah, very well; you will shave me then ?”’ replied the other, seating himself comfortably in the arm-chair. unfastening his eravat, and extending his large limbs. placed himself in the position of a man who is to be shaved, and rubbed and stroked his beard and chin with evident satisfaction. The barber placed his spectacles upon his long nose, and gazed upon the stranger with a malicious and ironical air. Finally he broke the silence : = “I say, sir, that I can shave everybody at—"* ~ But what?” said the other, discontentedly «But you L will not,’ replied the barber. And he began to whet his razor as betore, with- out pafing more atteniion to the new comer, whe appeared perfectly astonished at the lan- guage, and regarded the barber with surprise, mingied with curiosity. But curiosity soon gave way to anger, which was evident by the distention of his breast and nostrils, and by the passion which suddenly burned in his countenance. By degrees his eheeks swelled out until they had almost ae- quired the size aad roundness of an enormous pumpkin. Not shave ile ¢ * said he, suddenly ejecting from his lungs and cheeks the quantity of air which Glled them. This explosion of wind was terrible. The burber trembied like a leaf. and bad not strength to utter a single word. “ Not shave me‘” cried the stranger, and silence coptinued to reign. “Not suave me!” re- peated the little man a third time, louder still fringing from his seat with an extraordinary bound, considering bis corpulence. The barber was alarmed. not without rea- son; for the other placed himself before him, with arms akimbo and flashing eyes, in the mest hostile attitude. The barber laid his #trop and razor upon the mantel-piece, hardly knowing what he did. “Dow you wish to insult me in my own house ’’’ murmured he, with all the courage he could call to his aid. “ Blood and thunder! Who spoke of insult- ing you’ I wish to be shaved. What is there in that so uncommon ?”’ “Ido not shave after ten o’elock,”’ replied the barber ; ‘‘besider, | work only fur the pro- fessors and students of the university. I have been strictly forbidden by the Reverend Doc- tor Heligen Auhelat and the academical senate to exercise wy ingenuity upon the face or head of all others. * Lector Heiligen Anhelat!’* repeated the other, with a smiie of contempt. “ And what dunce can be be?” ~ He is the provost of the university, and the protessor of moral philosopby,”’ replied the barber. greatly shocked to hear the learned doctor spoken of in such a term. ‘“ What! Is it this vulgar pedant, Anhelat, who gives such orders’ 1 have not time to pass the whole night here, and I have but one thing to say to you. Itis, that if you do not sbave mo, f will shave you, and in the right manner, too. So think well of it; you nuw see what you have to do.’ And suiting the action to the word, he extended his arm, seized the barber by the nose, and forcibly held him upon the chair which he bimself had quitted The other was 2 moment abashed by the ra- pidity of this movement. He looked with a «aixture of surprise and rage upon the author of this sudacious action ; aud it was only when feeling upon his face the cold and wet impress oft the lather-brush, that he was reealled to his present situation. Me tried to rise, but was kept in bis place by the vigorons aud in- fiexible arm of the little man. He had no other resource than to turn bis head from left to right to avoid the fatal brush; but his efforts were useless iiis forehead, his nose, his cheeks, and his ears were daubed with the soapy matter. When he attempted to cry out. his efforts were not more Successtul: the indefatigable little mao filled bis mouth with lather. and continued with more energy than ever. With one hand he beld him by the throat; with the other, fur- nisbed- with the brush, he pursued bis opera- tivo, laughing heartily, and enjoying with the most clamorous mirth the scene before his eyes. At length the barber sucoeeded in pronounc- ing a few words; it was tocry mercy with all his might. promising to shave his « ppressor at all times whenever he wished it. notwithstand- ing the orders of Heiligen Auhelat and the academical senate. This declaration gave him some respite. Hetremblingly arose. His first care was to remove the takes, which attested te bis humiliation, while the little man coolly seated himself in the chair, nearly bursting with laughter The stupefied barber prepared his instru- ments for the operation which he was to per- form upon his adversary, though in a very different manner from usual. He worked slowly, thus giving bimself time to recover from the shock be had experienced. Finally, all ory! ready, he drew a napkin under the chin of his new customer, and was just com- meneing to cover his chin with lather, when he cried, “Stop!” The barber, frightened as a some fiagrant offence, drew looking at the disguise. “ Be careful; at least do not eut my throat!”’ said the stranger, without a loud voice. ““My business is to cut the beard. and not the throg,”” humbly replied the barber. * Without doubt—witbout doubt. not obliged to believe you upon your hon take care, I tell you. “If you eut my th will btow out your brains, that is all.’ And putting bis hands lato one of the large pocket her taken on : aek some steps, other with terror he could not STAR PUBLISHKD BVBRY AFTEKNOON, wa VOL. XI. of his coat. he drew jforth a pistol and laid it upon a chair near him. “Now commence,” continued he; ‘and regollect that if you seratch my chin inthe slightest. or if you leave ingle hair there, your life shall pay the forfeit! I give you warning.”’ ‘The sight of this terrible weapon increased the barber's terror. His hand trembled like a leaf, he began to prepare the soap, and it took him ten times longer than it had ever done be- fore on any occasion. He dreaded to touch his razor to his chin; so he resolved to continue lathering indefinitely, rather than run the risk of receiving a ball in hishead. This delay was of benefit to him, for it enabled him to gain more assurance; the stranger found nothing to say. On the contrary, bis good humor seemed to revive beneath the agreeable tickling of the brush, and beginning to whistle merrily, he pew the lather from bis lips into the barber's face. Half an hour had passed, and he was still engaged in this preliminary operation, which seemed to please the little man; for, instead of complaining of its length, be continued to hum and whistle, to the great displeasure of our barber, who experienced some difficulty in lath- ering such a variable physioguomy. Nearly three-quarters of an hour he bad thus spent in rubbing the chin of this singular personage, without perceiving any release from bis labor: for the little man laughed in bis fuce. and re- peated the eternal “Lather away!” the mo- ment the barber seemed ready to relinquish the brush. Besides, he remembered his chas- tisement for his first resistanee—and there, too, before his eyes lay the throatening pistol. It is impossible to conceive the agony of the barber. Me felt as confined in the wm: irele of some enchanter, whose power he could not escape from. Ilis strength was now noarly ex- bausted ; he no longer had any will, and each movement of his body was in direct opposition to what he wished to do. If he stopped 2 mo- ment, the never-ending “ Lather away!” re- sounded in his ears; it he wanted tu take his razor, he was prevented by this ery; and if he refused to shave him, he ran the risk of being shaved himself. “Lather away!’’ cried the stranger, wih stentorian voice, thrusting his fingers in the curls of his thick black hair, and opening, us he smiled, an enormous large mouth. “TI cannot any longer,” at length said the barber, letting his handg fall with weariness and fatigue. “You cannot any more, do you say, my old man?’ I will cure you of that. Come. take some drops of this wonderful liquor—the olixir of Mepbistophiles, the triend of Dr Faust.” And as he suid this, he drew from his pocket a bottle of red liquor. uncorked it, and before the barber knew what he was doing, he forced him to swallow balf of it. ‘Now lather away,” continued he, ‘there is nothing like it.’’ Cun- founded by the rapidity of this action, ihe poor mun had no time to reflect, and dipping the brush again into the soap, he continued as be- fore. Revived by what he had swallowed, he felt new life diffused in all his members, whilst the little man unceasingly cried, ‘‘ Lather away!” The college clock had struck eleven nearly half an hour before, and midnight approached The barber continued his unlimited task, and the stranger his eternal vociferations.. The “Lather away, my old man!” coustantly came from his lips. regulariy accompanied by a deep sigh of despair exhaled from the barber's breast; finally, the darkness became so great that the latter could hardly see his brush and soap box. The lamp, after throwing some glimmers trom its vacillating light, like a dying meteor, at length went out. In the fireplace a few red coals remained, sending forth but little heat and a very feeble light. The room was only lighted by the pale rays of the moon. ‘Ihe agonies of the barber increased with the dark- uess; his hand could scarcely hold the brush, which he managed at hazard. sometimes miss- ing it. But though the clock had struck the midnight hour. he gave no sign ot fatigue; his constant theme still continued, “ Lather away!” Another half bour passed, and the terrible and supernatural accent of the little man became less shrill. He appeared to sleep, and his + Lather eg was repeated at longer inter- vals, and in a hollow voice. Soon he was asleep and began to snore. From time to time a pro- longed murmur, * Lather away,” came from his mouth as from the bottom of a tomb A cloud having eclipsed the moon, the deepest obscurity reigned in the room, and the barber was seized with unspeakable terror. His house opened upou the cemetery of the college, surrounded on all sides by high walls, and regularly closed every evening. All com- bined to render his position more perilous. The perplexity of the barber had attained its high- est point. What he suffered was really beyond his strength, and he felt that he should fall senseless upon the floor. Still, suffering hud even given him some courage, and suddenly turning round, he rapidly walked to the door, intending to eseape. But, alas' he had hardly stepped threshold when a cry, *‘ Lather away !” struck his ears like a clap of thunder, and he stopped perfectly motionless. His resolution was shaken, he returned to his task, and began to moisten the little man’s cheek as heretofore. The cries of the little man then became more violent than they were the preceding half hour. His sleep seemed disturbed, and he again commenced his old habit of singing, whistling and laughing in a fearful manner. “Lather away! continued he with his in- supportable sneering. ‘ You are not weary, I hope, my old man! Do you wish a second por- tion of my elixir ?*’ “We need more light than elixir.”’ the barber, with some etfurt. © Ah, well, we shail not want light. Here are two which are sufficient for you.” The barber drew back astonished. midst of the darkness he saw two eyes fixed on him; they were those of the little man. Seneath their reflection bis cheeks be- came a deep searlet; his thick hair seemed transformed into black serpents, and when he jaughed, bis mouth and throat seemed like the opening of a fiery furnace. The sight of such a terrible spectacle froze the blood in tho poor barber's veins. He saw safety only in tight ; and throwing far from him his brush and soap box, he endeavored to rush to the door, wur- muring, in the auguish of despair, “ Lord, Lord, bave compassion upon me! | have shaven the vil one!” Keeovering a little ot his strength, he darted across thecemetery ; he s rang over tombstones, hillocks, graves, and all that appeared in his way. But hardly half a minute after his flight, bis ears again heard the stranger's frightful bursts of laughter, and his horrible ery, ‘“Lath- eraway!’’ Ile heard fuotsieps behind him, and tried to redouble his efforts, but in vain; turn- ing round he saw the little man, his face covered with lather, the napkin under his chin, and the pistol in his hand. In despair the barber directed his steps to- wards the clock tower, which was open. En- tering, he tried to close the door behind him; the other followed him, while our fugitive bs) illy mounted the staircase of the tower. At the top there was a door opening on an exterior terrace. Could he reach it he was saved. Vain hope ! when he sprang on the terrace, the little man arrived there at the same moment. Above them, one hundred and thirty feet, rose the ar- row on the church ; below stretched an abyss still deeper. The barber stood back as far as possible, his teeth chattering, and bis knees trembling with fright. ° “Ab!” cried his perseeutor, ‘“‘what do you think now. old man? Lather away! Come, lather me until six in the morning, it is only five now. Take your brush and soap-dish. But whdt have you done with them ?”’ “ T have thrown them away,” stammered the terrified barber. “Thrown them away! I have a mind to throw you down below, too!” At these words he seized the barber b: nose, raised him without effort, and held. at arm’s length outside the terrace. The poor wan struggled and threw his long arms about, upon the replied In the U Sekai 3 the him Even + mg Star WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1858.

His whole body shivered convulsively, his respira- tion was painful, his breast heaved, and he curled himself into the smallest dimensions like a snail. In a moment he would be crushed. Mean- while, as he approached the earth the move- ment was less rapid. Finally, it appeared so slow, that it seemed as if he was supported in the air. Some good angel, touched with com- passion for him, had received him in its arms.
