Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can re store the hair where the follicles arc destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling otf, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious sub stances which make some prepara tions dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desir able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cam bric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a perfume. PREPARED BT Dr. J. C. AYER & CO., Lowell, Mast.

Alcohol is now for lighting; so at, it he goes. Dreadful work Reason, Experience, Public Good and Conscience are sadly wounded. Many good men are put dc.wu, and many worthless fel lows put up. A peep at the Touch Not encamp ment, and then at some other things not quite so pleasant. Ai.oohol, perceiving that things were getting into a had train, soon found him self in a better uiood for lighting than for talking, though he thought it best to say a few things preparatory to battle, and thus he addressed his army:— “Soldiers ! especially you of the Drink Deep Battalion, and my brave Legion of Honor: it seems that some people of the baser sort have conspired against me, and appear determined to oppose and win my cause. I have not time to answer their arguments by long speeches; 1 shall stop their mouths in another way. Suffice it to say, however, that they are scoundrels, that they have misrepresented my char acter, motives and designs; that every thing they have said is a lie—all a lie— nothing but a lie. Many of you, at first, defended my cause nobly; 1 thank you for it; but you finally appeared to be much disaffected. This argues simplicity and cowardice, n t to say treason, against your Prince, who is ready to poor out his heart’s blood iu your do fen :e. But my words must he few Understand, then, brave soldiers, that these fellows must he put down fcaV-To your ranks! Prepare for hat He 1 !” So saying, he darted through his army like a hizing comet; arranged his lines in a trice, and soon infused his own fierce spirit into his troops. The Drunken Posse wore stationed iu front. They were men of tried courage, and WeU armed for the conflict. The Drink Deep Battalion were drawn up in their rear; and in the rear of all, and upon the flanks, and upon the surrounding hills, Alcohol station and his Sip (Eton and Tem perate Battalions, and directed them to do what little execution they could, with their .‘-lings, cross-bows and other light armor. The vast army now occupied the fields of Mischief, (they were verv spacious too) though the Sip < )ften and Temperate folks would have it that they occupied the region of Do No Harm. Son e thought this a strange blunder; and so it was. Nevertheless, I could in some measure account for it, tor A1 ohol had raised a fog in those parts, nd they could not see clearly. The army being arranged to the Prince’s mind, he immediately sent ofl' heralds to the surrounding garrisoi s, directing them to keep his army well supplied with am munition, and to support the attack by keeping up, from their battalions, a con stant and tremendous fire. “To the work, brave soldiers,’’ cried Alcohol; “Charge! Charge!!” And so they did, with a vengeance —as my dream taught me. They rushed on with fury, especially the brave, redoubtable Drunk en Posse. Reason, Experience and their frierds soon found themselves in a hobble, before they hail time to prepare for it. How ever, they mustered their troops, after a sort, and made as brave a defen e as pos sible. They were conscious of i oirig en gaged in a good cause, and this made them truly valiant. But, ah! what could they do against such a General as Alco hol, and such veterans as composed hi Legion of Honor? Reason received some terrible blows on his head;’ was tumbled into a deep ditch, and for some time could neither hear, speak nor see. ‘How are the mighty fallen!” thought [; yes. and poor Mr. Public Good fared not a whit better, for he was sadly cut and pierced in many places. He bled profusely; at length fainted outright, and in this miserable predicament he was carried from the field. “Experience, Experience, where art thou?” cried I. He could not answer; his gray head, it seems, had afforded him no protection. The soldiers of Alcohol threw him down, broke his spectacles, cut off his venerable one, and filled hts eyes and mouth with mud. And, as for Conscience, that son of thunder, he fared but little bettor- They gagged him, run a bodkin through his tongue, broke his sword, and inflicted upon his limbs so much wanton injury that it was full as much as he could accomplish to crawl off and hide in the bushes. The command ers being disabled, the rest of the army was routed without much further diffi culty. Alcohol pressed on, scoured the surrounding country, and did more mis chief than I could well give an account of. Many good and true men felt the weight of his sword, arid a large extent of ter ritory came under his sway. Industry was among the slain, and several of his sons, such as Strong Limbs, Heavy Purse, Full Cellar, Sweet Sleep, and some others. Domestic Bliss was routed- Good Order, Decency, Tender Heart, Fine Feelings, Modesty, Good Morals, and a host of others, equally worthy, shared a mournful fate. But it was not enough for the Prince to put down good men, but he must needs exalt the wicked, and in accomplishing this he no time. “Time,” said Dr. Franklin, “is money.” So said Alcohol; (for the reader must know that ho had picked up many such pithy sayings, which lie turned to very good account ) He had many children and grand children, as well as a large gang of remote relatives and other intimate friends. These he to >k special care to promote, for he would often sav, (blasphemous wretch) “If any provide not for his own, and especially those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” Indolence was one, and his sons, Neg ect Business, Care-for Nothing, Light Pocket, with many others. Beast Heart and Swinish were characters whom Alcohol ever delighted to honor, and he soon had it in his power to render them eminently conspicuous. Hard Heart got a commission, too; and Bruit-bliss, Pas sion. Anger, Revenge, and Flame-lust, with their wrotclie 1 progeny, were taken under tke Princo's patronage. Silly Pate, Bad Bargain, Gobble Tongue, B : g Brag. Wriggle Shanks, Fiddle-Heels, Shuffle- Cards, Pitch-in the-dito , with many hundreds equally meritorious, had no right to complain of neglect. Riot. Law- Wrangler, Blasphemy, Curse-Christian, Murder, Thirst for Blood, Fulso-Tongue, Light-Fingers, and all their kindred— even to fourth cousins—were honored with marks of special favor. Most of them, and many others, received com missions in Alcohol's army —many of them in the Drink Deep Battalion, hut a majority of them in the Drunken Posse. They were authorized—nay, specially charged, to do all the mischief they pos sibly could, and as the army was march ing along towards the pit, to make fre quent excursions into the surrounding country, and scatter fire-brands, arrows, and death. But, although these base officers did much injury to others, and rendered all the region through which they passed unpleasant, and even dan gerous—yet the greatest injury done was to Alcohol’s own soldiers. They loaded down the men under their command with all kinds of abuse, stirred up a | erpctual uproar, turned theirowu weapons against their friends, and invent;,) a thousand schemes to destroy their pi Ace. blast their characters, and hurry th<Mi into perdi tion. And yet the soldiers wote ver" intimate with them; many of them they carressed and dusted on with infer nal affection and delight; and even those whom they hated, and would have been glad to desert, they were obliged to fol low ami obey, for I!• s. K„ 1 Alcohol or dained. Then I thought in uiy dream that Alcohol was a hard master. Alcohol gave Disease anew commis sion, and his whole tribe, Consumption, Fever, Dropsy, Ap.qdexy, &c-, and sent them out with Hying, colors. Thus he strengthened the UitiVMa and doubled the territory of Death. One individual must not be forgotten—he was a notable char acterinthe Army of Alcohol. His name was Jack Vomit; and a vile imp, too — another name indeed lor Filthiness itself, lie seemed to be the very quintessence of all the Tartar and Ipecac in the world. II is business was with the people’s s om achs. Alter Alcohol had marched his army violently over the Dizzy Mountain, (of which we shall speak anon) this mis creant was turned loose to cut his filthy pranks, to the no small annoyance of Alcohol's sol fiers, ami of all persons near, who mi lit be so unfortunate as to havqi keen noses. [CONTINUED IN OUlt NEXT. 1 it Gordon to the Front! This cry was unnecessary a few years since. W hen the enemy came down upon our decimated army ana devastated coun try, in countless numbers, there was nd need to say "Gordon to the front!” Gor don was there, lie fought as brave men fight who know no fear and hear n* call’ hut duty’s. When hope had almost died, when the remnant of Lee's gallant army had been almost annihilated, the order was issued, the bugle sounded forward, and Gordon headed the iast charge that broke the enemy’s lines. The ware.,ded. The South was under the iron heel of the oppressor. The clouds of despotism hung with the black ness of night over our unhappy land. To whom should the people look in this, their darkest hour, hut to him who led them in their vain battle lor independ ence? They called Gordon to the front; he led them to victory, hut the fruits of victory were stolen from us-, arid an enemy placed at the helm of State. But Georgia’s true sous again took com trol of her, arid then they sent their gal lant leader to the highest plitco .in the national councils. Now the end of his term approaches, and from hill and vale, from convention of town, county and dis trict comes the familiar cry, “Gordon to the front!" If there are men in Georgia who are plotting to defeat Gordon, they are wasting their efforts. The people want him again in the Senate. They have recently said so with gratifying unanimity, and they intend to send him there. Those who conspire against him will have their own mortification foV their reward. — La Grange Reporter.

"There are hut two fine things in the world.” says Malherne:—“women and roses. 1 ’ Lessing exclaims: —Woman is the mas terpiece of the universe. Bourbon says:—The pearl is tho image of purity, but woman is purer than the pea rl. Thackery writes: A good woman is the lovclii st flower that blooms under heaven. Balzac sa.v:—Even the errors ol wo man spring from her faith in the good. Voltaire declares: —All the reasoning of men aro not worth one sentiment of woman. Lamartine asserts: —Women have more heart and imagination than men. Otway exclaims: —Oh! woman! lovely woman! Nature made thee to temper (Ben. We had been : rules without you. All of them mijil add there is noth ing so true as a good vOman’s love; noth ing sq sublime or so constant as her un dying affection for the man if her choice. Without woman—without her love and gentle influence—man would soon he heathenized, and his life turned into a hull. We care not how base a man may be, not to what depths of sin and shame he may have descended, he will never get so low that a woman’s love will not cause him to ponder and think, and in many Instances her influence will lead him into The patlm lhat arc right.

Nobody denies the great power Jwliich any person may have wjjo has a handsome face and attracts you by good looks, even before a word has been spoken. And we see all sorts of devices in men and women to improve their looks. Now, all cannot have good features— | they are as God made them—hut almost . anyone can look well, especially with good health. It is hard to give rules in a very short space, but in brief these will do: Keep clean—wash freely. All the skin wants is leave to act freely, and it takes care of itse f Its thousands of air-holes must n it be closed. Eat regularly, and sleep enough—not too much, The stomach can no more work all the time, night aud day, than a NUMBER 48. horse. It must have regu ar work and rest. Good teeth are a help to good looks. Brush them with a soft brush, especially at night. Go to bed with cleansed teeth. Of course to have white teeth it is need ful to let tobacco alone. All women know that. Washes for the teeth should bu very simple. Acid may whiten the teeth but it takes ofi the enamel and injures them. Bleep in a cool room, in pure air. No vne can have a cleanly skin who breathes bad air. But more than all, in order to look well, wake up mind and soul. When the mind is awako, the dull, sleepy look passes away from the eyes I do not know that the brain expands, but it seems so. Think, and read, not trashy novels, but books and papers that have something in them. Men say they cannot afford books, and sometimes do not even pay for a newspa per. Li that case it dot® them little good, they feel so mean while reading tnem. But men can afford what they really choose. If all the money spent iu self indulgence, in hurtful indulgence, was spent in books or papers for seit-improve ment, we should see a chnnge. Men would grow handsome, and women too. The soul would shine out through the eyes. We were not meant to bo mere animals. Let us have hooks and read them, and sermons and heed them. • ♦ Under the head of “An Enterprising Lady,” the Charlotte (N. C.) Observer says: “It was thought of note, when, about two years ago, the wile of Mr. Thomas. J. Suggs, formerly of this city, but now of Gaston county, gave birth to three children atone time; hut last week she “went liersrH’ one better,” giving birth to four. Nuio got aw,y, and the whole quartette are living and doing well. Further than this, the triplets, Mis. Suggs’ former achievement, are all liv ing; and here we have the case of seven children from one mother, and none more than two years of age. It is the most remarkable case of its kind we ever heard of, and we doubt it it has ever had its parallel in the United States.” Another exchange on the same subject says: “Miles Klynch, ot Chicago, is the enthusiastic father of four sets of twins and one of triplets. He wants to see tho man who can KlynJi a stronger argument than that in favor of matrimony.” There were two of them hanging oves the front gate the other night.

The jury acquit ted Squires, as he dill the whole thing in play. If such idiots were playfully sent ,o a SMte l’rison for life the world would be better off. Until this can be done any man who points a gun or revolver at another should he immediately knocked down with a chair, club, poker, or any other weapon that may he handiest. It is no excuse to say that the gun is not loaded; that only aggravates the case, ’file more unloaded the pistol is, the surer death follows the index finger. That is light.
