FOOD FOK THOUGHT.
It is not what you have in bank, but
what yon have in your heart, that
makes you a man.
A man’s first care should be to at oid
the reproaches of his own heart; his
next to escape the censures oftlie world.
The annals of the human race, their
ruins, since the world began, of him
afford no other trace than this—“ There
lived a man.”
And what is life? A weary pilgrim
age, whoso glory in one day doth fill
the stage with childhood, manhood,
dccrepid age.
Love, and the passions which it ex
cites, are almost always a subject of
ridicule for those who do not inspire it
or experience it.
I sum up half mankind, and add
two-thirds of the remaining half, and
find the total of their hopes and fears—
dreams, empty dreams.
Great is he who enjoys his earthen
ware as if it were plate, and not less
great is the man to whom all his plate
is no more than earthenware.
Firmness is as different from its
mean substitute, obstinacy, as rashness
is from true courage, prudery from
virtue, and bigotry from religion.
A beautiful godly life, a noble man
hood filled full of fi lelities and hero
isms, is itself the very best statement
and the very best defence of Christian
ity.
But slow the tree whose blossoms
shall mature to fruit, and we for many
an hour must strain anil toil and wait,
and weep, if we the perfect fruit of all
we are, would see.
They are best situated for happiness
who are neither too high nor too low.
High enough to cultivate good man
ners, and obscure enough to be left in
the sweetest of solitudes.
It is worthy of noto that the men and
women who think most highly of them
selves and most meanly of others are
those who render back to society for
the good things they enjoy the smallest
return of personal effort.
There are a thousand things we love
more than God, without being sensible
of it. He whom we love is he whom
we are most concerned to please, and
are most afraid to offend. Let us try
our love by this rule.
Infidelity removes nothing, that is
had. It only ridicules and denounces
all that is good. It tears down—it
never constructs; it destroys—it never
imparts life; it attacks religion, but it
offers no adequate substitute.
Bad luck is simply a man with his
hands in his pockets, and his pipe in
his mouth, looking on to see how it
will come out. Good luck is a man of
pluck, with his sleeves rolled up, and
working to make it come right.
Christ is the key to the history of
the world. Not only does all harmon
ize with the mission of Christ; but all
is subordinated to it. When I saw this
it was to me as wonderful and surpris
ing as the light which Paul saw on his
way to Damascus.
The Christ whom we preach must be
the. full Christ of the gospel—not the
ideal, but the historic Christ; not a
Christ of one’s own invention, and
handiwork, but the Christ whom the
believing church of all ages confesses
and adores as her own.
Hope is the early morning ray of joy,
recollection is its golden tinge; but the
latter is wont to sink down amid the
dews and dusky shades of twilight, and
the bright blue day which the former
promises breaks indeed, but in another
world, and with another sun.
The cup of sorrow is in constant cir
culation—wo must all drink, and some
of us deeply. It is not material whose
turn comes first; the thing is to benefit
by the draught; for it requires very lit
tle self-knowledge to convince us that
we are unequal to prosperity, and una
ble to sustain it without growing care
less, or attaching ourselves too strong
ly to the things which perish, to the
exclusion of things eternal.
What a blessed order of nature it is
that the footsteps of time are inaudible
and noiseless, and that the seasons, of
life, like those of the year, are so in
distinguishably brought on in gentle
progression, and are so blended, the
one with the other, that the human
being scarcely knows, except from a
faint and not unpleasant sensation that
ho is growing old.
In discussing anything the weight of
reasoning, and not of authority, should
he sought, since the authority of those
who profess to teach it, on the whole,
a hindrance to those who wish to learn.
For the latter cease to depend upon
their own judgment and take for grant
ed the conclusions of those in whom
they confide.
The Number Niue.
You can not get rid oftlie figure nine
by multiplication; and scarcely by any
method. Whatever you do it is sure
to turn up again, as was the body of
Eugene Aram’s victim. One remark
able property of this figure (said to
have been discovered in 1794, is that
all through the multiplication tabic
the product of nine comes to nine.
Multiply by what you like, and it gives
the same result. Begin with twice
nine, 18; add the digits together, and
1 and 8 makes 9; three times nine are
27; and 2 and 7 are 9. So it goes on,
up to eleven times nine, which gives 99.
Very good; add the digits; 9 and 9 are
18, and 8 and 1 are 9. Going on to
any extent, it is impossible to get rid
of the figure nine. Take a couple of
instances at random. Three hundred
and thirty-nine times nine are 3,051;
add up the figures and they are nine.
.Five thousand and seventy-one times
nine are 45,039; the sum of these digits
is 27; 2 and 7 are nine.

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 may be desired.
By its use light or red hair may be 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 dandrutf, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. Asa Ladles’ Hair 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 ierfumo.
Mr. C. P. Bricher writes from Kirby, 0.,
•July 3, 1882 : “ Last fail my hair commenced
falling out, and in a short time 1 became
nearly bald. I used part of a bottle of
Ayer’s ll.uk Vigor, which stopped the fall
ing of the hair, and started anew growth. I
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.”
•T. W. Bowen, proprietor of the McArthur
( Ohio) Enquirer, says : *• Ayer’s Hair Vigor
is a most excellent preparation for the hair.
1 speak of it from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth of new hair, ami
makes it glossy and soft. The Vigor is also
a sure euro for dandrutf. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction.”
Mr. Angus Fairiiaihn, leader of the
celebrated 4 ‘Fairbairu Family” of Scottish
Vocalists, writes from Jloston, Mass., Feb. (,
1880: “Ever since my hair began to give sil
very evidence of the change which fleeting
time procuretli, I have used Ayer’s Hair
Vigor, and so have been able 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, Muss., April 14, ISS2, says:
“ Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair
came off. It thinned very rapidly, and'l was
fast growing bald. On using Ayer’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, ami is now as good as
before it fell. 1 regularly used but one bottle
of the Vigor, but now use it occasionally as
a dressing.”
We have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of Ayer’s llair Vigor. It
needs but a trial to convince the most skepti
cal of its value.
