Shatxsg the Heab axk Beabd by the xbciest Egyptians . — " The Egyptians , " sajs Herodotus , " only Jet the hair of their head and ieard grow in monrDing > being at aD other times ibaved ; " which agrees perfectly with the anthority of the Bible , * and of the sculptures . So particular , indeed ,- -were they on ihis point , that to have Beg-Ittted it was a . subject of reproach and ridicule j and Thenerer they intended to convey the idea of a man « f lair condition , or a slovenly person , the artUts . represented him with a beard . 11 is amosing to find , mat their love of caricature was not confined to the
lower order * , but extended even to the King ; and the negligent habits of Remeses VII . are indicated it the tomb at Thebes , by the appearance of his eMn blacKened by an unshorn beard of two or three txys' growth . But it was likewise gWen as the test « f hardsbips undergone In-a severe campaign ; and 4 e warlike character of Remeses the Great is Jointed out in the same manner . The Egyptians £ d not confine the privilege of shaving to free-born citizens , like the Soznans , who obliged elaresia wear flsar beards and hair long , and only permittecl them $ & nse of a cap after they had been enfranchised ; uii thongh foreigners , who were brought to Egypt ai »! a \ : i 5 , had beards on their arrival in the country ,
ire find that so soon as they were employed in the lernee of thi- * civilised people , they were obliged to Mofonn to the cleanly habits of their masters ; their beards and head ' s were shaved , , and they adopted a cbse cap . The priests were remarkable for tKeir luTe of cleanliness , which was carried so far that they ifcaved the whole body every three days , and perfcrmed freqaent daily ablutions , bathing twice a day md twice during the night . It was not confined to iieir order ; every Egyptian prided himself on the lajcoaragement of "habits which" it was considered a fegrace to neglect ; we can , therefore , leadily ac ~ tojnit for the disgust they felt on seeing the sqnalio ^ ipearanee and nniefined hatits of their Asiatic
Wigabottre , whose long beards were often the subject rf ridicule td die Egyptian soldier , and for their JtbiiDrrence of the bearded and long-haired Greeks , * ahli was so great , that , according to Herodotus , ' aoEgyptian of either sex would , on any account , kas tbe bps of a Greet , make use of his inife , biB ^ Ht ind ranldron , or taste the meat of an animal * inch had been slaughtered by his hand . ' The same iniits of cleaaliiiessare also indicated by the * cbaiige ^ lament' givtn by Joseph- } - to ius brethren , when fi « J * et ont to fetch theiT father to Egypt . Barbers * fcsjbe considered as tbe off * pring of civilization ; * Bd a « a Roman youth , when arrived at the age of Baak » od , cut off his beard , and consecrated it to
* ome deity , as a token of his having emerged from * state of childhood , so a people , until they have * & > pted the custom of shaving , may be supposed to ttUin a remnant of their early barbarism . The wnan * , at first , lite other people , allowed theft beards to grow , xmtil about 454 jeara after tbe feldiug of the city , ( 299 B . c . ) when P . TJcinius ^ ena , having brociiat barbers from Sicily j introfcced the custom to Bomej and , as Pliny state ? , f Scipio Africsnus was the first Boman * 1 k > shaved every day . ' They resembled & f Egyptians rather than the Greeks in ti n * respect , and in the habit of allowing the to of the head and beard to grow in moamlng S * Greeks , on lie contrary , shaving themselves on & ° « e occasions . The prejudice of these last in
isroar » f long hair seems to be retained to the pre-• at day ; for , though the modern Greeks have i&opted a . moslem custom , and wear the Ted / ox of flte coast of Barbary , they have remained insensible to the comfort and cleanliness of shaving , and have preferred the inconsistency of covering the bead with t close cap , and cherishing the growth Df long hair , ^ itb the Egyptians it was enstomary to shave tbe ieads of evenyotmgehfldren . leaving only ceriainlocks A the front , sides , and back and those of the lower Masses were allowed to go out in the pan with the ^ ead exposed , wifliout the protection of & cap ; "which the reason assigned by Herodotus for tbie hard-*» ofthe Egjptian sknlls compared with those of ^ Wpeoplev—Wilkinson ' s Manners and Customs $ the Andent Egyptian * .

" PiRATic > i Habits op the Old Scandina-¦ vtans- —^ Varioog causes have been enomerated by l ^ torians as having contributed to produce the roving **|» edmons of the Scandinavians . Among the most obvious of these may be reckoned that restless predatory spirit and love of wild adventure which mark tie character of all maritime nations in tiieinfancy of « hili » at 5 on . In the North tbe occupation of a pirate , like that of a robber among the Arabs , wad deemed not only lawful but honourable . These natural motives of fame and cupidity are alleged to have been strengthened by a usage then prevalent , in compliance with which a portion of the inhabitants were periodicallv expelled by force , as the increase
of population outgrew tiie means of subgistanee , which in those barren regions , was chiefly confined to fishing and the chase , or the produce of their tfocts . The Norman chronicles , in France , mention an old Scandinavian custom , by which the eldest son inherited the patrimonial estate , whilst the younger was compelled to have recourse to jpiracy ; an 3 , when a father had several children , it was determined by lot which of them should be his heir . The others were then obliged to seek an establishment beyond the seas . Sometime * the succession to the throne was divided equally between two or morv eoapj who agreed to reign alternately for a specified period , one part over the land , and the rest
over thedeean , but all with tbe title of kings . The younger branches of royalty , the «> ns of JarlsaDd chirfs , looked upon the waves as their only inneritance , and endeavoured to collect from the lower orders adventurers as brave and destitute as themselves . These noble and gallant youths , ere they had pay ? ed tbe years of boyhood , were provided , at their father ' s expense , with a small fleet , manned ^ by a hardy crew , who sought no reward bat glory and > poil , and who mntuaHy engaged never to return unless adorned wiih laurels and loaded with plunder . A * tbe mechanical ana weredespiseu , and the learned professions unknown , the practice oi sea-roving became the favourite pursuit . It possessed the interest of romance , and was surrounded with all the lustre of chivalry , so that it mijibt be said to
form-not only the most lucrative occupation but the most jrraceful accomplishment of the princes and chieftains of that heroic age . The bt-stand bravest of the land were thus launched and living upon the waters ; and so much had they increased , that , tht days of Ragnor Lodbrok , the Danes were , perhaps , more numerous on sea than on shore ; so that , according to one of their oven historians , they resembled a nation of marines , wearing the habit of sailor ? , that they ' might " be ready to embark at the first signal . " No appellation could be more appropriate to such adventurers than that of sea-kiDgs : — ' And they are rightly so liamed , " says the author of the Ynglinga Saga , " who never seek shelter under a smoky roof , and never drain their drinkinghorn at a cottage fire .

Amongst the many things that Jack recollected , he mentioned his having seen -lying fish . ' Stop , Johnny / said his mother , ' don ' t tell me snch things as that , tell me of what yon have really seen ; for as to flying fish , I could as . soon believe you had seen
flying ' cows ; ' and Jack saw that wonders of this sort , though very true , were quite out of his mother ' s way , so he immediately changed bis tack . ' Perhaps , mother , ' says he , ' you wont believe me , when 1 tell you , that casting anchor once in the -Red Sea , it was with difficulty that we hove it up again ; when we did , what should -we find banging . at the end of it but an old wheel . It was a strange old thing to look at , so we hoisted it in . Well , our captain , you s « e , being a scholar , overhauled him , and discoTsred that it was one of Pharoah ' s chwnot \ ckeels vokenhewas capsiztdin the Red Sea .

' Want . of Eyidekcb . — There is a pleasant anecdote told of the late Reverend Judge Peters , who wai do less known for the integrity of his legal 3 eci » oss than for his witticisms . The crew of a
vessel " brought into bis court a complaint , alleging the nnwliole 8 omeness of the provisions laid in for the voyage , and claimed damages for this misusage One ' of the evidences in support of the charge was in apparently mouldy sea biscuit . The ' opening cbnijsel produced this' during his exordium , apd it was"hahded incidentally to the judge . The cause proceeded in due form , and when the defendant ' s conxsel was proceeding with the citation of proofs
toswtain Iris client ' s canse , the mouldy biscuit was not to be found ; great . reliance was placed on this ; it . hii , however , unaccountably disappeared . At length one of the juryman reminded the counsel he hid handed it to the judge , who it appears , little by little , as ^ the cause ^ proceeded , had inadvertently eatenit vg . ¦' . The hearty laugh was irreprei'sible , and itVere needless perhaps to . add the complainants were'foiled " in ! the prosecution ; evidently a spite action against thWcaptain " and ownew .
