FOOD FOK THOUGHT.
Hope is the brightest star in the fir
mament of youth.
There’s very little or no opposition to
the red hot poker.
It is wisdom to think, and folly to
sit without thinking.
We are no longer happy so soon as
we wish to be happier.
A man of lofty thought and elevated
opinion—a balloonist.
Tl'.e greatest happiness comes from
the greatest activity.
Love for the dead should not cramp
our duty to the living.
It is upon the smooth ice we fall; the
roughest path is the safest.
Occasions do not make a man frail,
but they show what he is.
Despise no one; for every one knows
something thon knowest not.
A prayer in its simplest definition is
merely a wish turned God-ward.
Genius at first is nothing more than
a great capacity for receiving discipline.
Rashness is not valor; doubtful hopes
ought to make men resolute, not rash.
True friendship is like sound health;
its value is seldom known until it is
lost.
He who rises late must trot all day,
and will scarcely overtake his business
at night.
True love always makes a man bet
ter, no matter who the woman is or who
inspires it.
What men want is not talent, it is
purpose, not the power to achieve, but
the will to labor.
He who does good for good’s sake
seeks neither praise nor reward, though
sure of both at last.
One may be better than his reputa
tion or his conduct, but never better
than his principles.
The best way to show our apprecia
tion of the Divine forbearance is to be
forbearing ourselves.
The feeble tremble before opinion,
the foolish defy it, the wise judge it,
the skillful direct it.
Pay your honest debts before you
subscribe to charitable undertakings.
Honesty before charity.
Let us have faith that right makes
might, and in that faith let us, to the
end, dare to do our duty.
A man may be thought clever while
he is seeking for wisdom; but if he im
agines he has found it, he is a fool.
Life is not so excessively charged
with sweetness that one needs to he
continually throwing in acids or bitters.
He who is false to present duty
breaks a flaw in the loom; ami will find
the flaw when they have forgotten the
cause.
There are some things I am afraid to
do, and I confess it is in this great
presence; I am afraid to do a mean
thing.
A Christian’s experience is like a
rainbow, made up of drops of the grief
of earth and beams of the bliss of
heaven.
A cheerful temper, joined with inno
cence, will make heauty attractive,
knowledge delightful, and wit good
natured.
Power, in its quality and degree, is
the measure of manhood. Scholarship,
save by accident, is never the measure
of a man’s power.
The talent of success is nothing more
than doing what you can do well, and
doing well whatever you do without a
thought of fame.
If you want to gain a reputation for
eccentricity, and to be universally
dreaded, if not hated, blurt out the
plain truth on all occasions.
The losses, troubles, sufferings of our
daily life.are only the dust and cinders
blown into the traveller’s eyes on the
journey to our heavenly heme.
It is how, far more than what vve do
that is the source of the pleasure of
pain rvhich our daily lives are radiating
upon those whom we love best.
Adversity lias ever been considered
as tbe state in which a man most easily
becomes acquainted with himself, par
ticularly, being free from flatterers.
A narrow minded Christian leading
a life of crooked prejudices and doing
it conscientiously makes more atheists
than all the infidel books ever written.
Dr. Holland describes faith as draw
ing poison from every grief, removing
the sting from every loss, quenching
the fire of every pain, and only faith can
do it.
When fate has allowed to any man
more than one great gift, accident or
necessity seems usually to contrive that
one shall incumber and impede the
other.
Doubt has been the great discoverer.
To question an old lie is usually the
first step toward anew truth. It is an
act of heroism to dispute a moss-grown
error out of existence.
Profanity never did any man the least
good. Nt> man is richer, happier, or
wiser for it. It commends no one to
society; it is disgusting to refined peo
ple and abominable to the good.

AYER’S
Hair Vigor
restores, with the gloss and freshness of
youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as maybe desired.
By its use light or red hair maybe darkened,
thin hair thickened, and baldness often,
though not always, cured.
It checks falling of the hair, and stimu
lates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It
prevents and cures scurf and dandruif, ami
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. Asa Ladies* Hail* Dressing:, the
Vigor is unequalled ; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
Mr. C. P. Bkiciibr writes from Kirby, 0..
July :>, 1882 : “ Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and in a short time I became
nearly bald. 1 used part of a bottle of
AveiVs Hair Vigor, which stopped the fall
ing of the hair, and started anew growth. 1
have now a full head of hair growing vigor
ously, and am convinced that but for the
use of your preparation 1 should have been
entirely bald.”
.1. W. Bow::x, proprietor of tlie McArthur
{Ohio) Enquirer, says : ” Aveu’s Hair Vigor
is a most excellent preparation for the hair.
I speak of it from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth of new hair, and
makes it glossy ami soft. The Vigor is also
a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction.**
Mr. Angus Faikbairx, leader of the
celebrated “ Fairbairn Family ” of Scottish
Vocalists, writes from Hatton, Mass., Feb. (>,
ISSO ; “ Kver since my hair began t< give sil
very evidence of the change which fleeting
time procure!!), I have used Ayer’s Hair
Vigor, and so have been aide to maintain
an appearance of youthfulness—a matter of
considerable consequence to ministers, ora
tors, actors, and in fact every one who lives
in the eyes of the public.”
Mrs. O. A. Prescott, writing from 18 Elm
St., Charlestown, Mass., April 14, 1882, says :
Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair
came oil. It thinned very rapidly, and I was
fast growing bald. On using Aveu’s Hair
Vigor the falling stopped and anew growth
commenced, and in about a month my head
was completely covered with short hair. It
has continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. 1 regularly used hut one bottle
of the Vigor, but now use it occasionally as
a dressing.”
We have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of AVer’s Hair Vigor. Jt
needs but a trial to convince the most skepti
cal of its value.
