Hair Vigor >
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COI-OR.
It is a most agreeable dressing, which
Is at once harmless and effectual, for pre¬
serving the hair. It restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. By its use thin
hair is thickened, and baldness dften
though not always cured. It checks falling
of the hair immediately, and causes a new
growth in ali cases where the glands are
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The Vigor cleanses the scalp, cures and
prevents the formation of dandruff; atul,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of the
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the scalp and
hair are impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies’ Hair,
The Vigor is incomparable. It is color¬
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambric. It imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed in* its excellence.

ADELINA.
It was the day after New Year’s—a
cold.V'leai' Tuesday morning—that I dis
cousylately wended tny way to school,
wisliiig that holidays came oftener and
staydl longer, and regretting that out of
lifly jwo there was only one week of un
inteitupted Til- pleasure.
old red school-house stood at the
jui»('t((otis hi!! of three lust roads, and as 1 raised
the lijlle before reaching it, I
saw, lit<4» coming from the opposite direction,

“Hush l” reproved an older girl, who

The voice that had so charmed me in
the entry answered the question in a
strangely quiet way.

A hush as of death fell upon the noisy

her for the sombre “blackbipl” of

shonlder-kimts »f cherry ribbons— the,
loveliest I ever sow.
At uiuut slie came to me and said,
Very gravely :
“After to-day I am not corning any

“I am going to the city to live ;

When I came in sight of her slip was
s'anding motionless by the road, atteii

for sweets iti the downy heart of a white
Canada ttiistle.
Years after, when miles anti miles
away from that spot, I could shut tny
eyes of a hazy October afternoon, with a
5 o’clock sun dipping toward the tree
tops, and see a gill, lovely as the b'.nsli
of the sunset, gazing pensively at a bee

“Yes; but I am not.”
She turned from the rank patch of
thistle and slowly resumed her walk

When we came to the lane where our
path separated she put up her
arms to lie taken and kissed before leav
ing me, as she said, “to come liack no
more.”
“lie good to yourself, Eddie, and next
winter, if any little lonely Adelinas

school-house yonder, l>« kind to them as
you were to me.”
could Something clinked In my throat, atul I
not say a word; but kissed her
more than once ; and after she Imd slip
|a‘d from my arms and was twenty rods
away, I sat down and cried like a baby,
because I was never to see my Adelina
again.
It was not long before the rumor was
rife in the neighborhood that Mrs. La
grange had married a middle-aged mil
lionaire, and that the young widow and
her child had found a new protector in
place of the one death had taken from
them.
