Ayer’s
Hair Vigor,
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
It is a most agreeable dressing, which
is at once harmless and effectual, for pre¬
serving the liair. 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 often
though not always cured. It checks falling
of the hair immediately, and causes a new
growth in all 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 Vioob cleanses the scalp, cures and
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of the
humors aud 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 Vigob 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
artit!e for the toHet ;t is economical and
unsurpassed in its excellence.

THE BRAKBMAN’S STORY.
t rough-looking nuu Y Yes, perhaps
I am. We ain’t all of us responsible for
our outside husk, no more than a horsa
chestnut or a iiazel nut is. The kind of
a life I lead can’t be lived iu whits kid
gloves and dress coats. I wasn’t brought
up with many advantages, and I'm only
a brakeman on the Rensselaer and Sara
toga line. Old Jones was telling you
about, me, was lie, sir ? He’d better
hold Ins longue. There’s more profit a
bit 1 amt jects of conversation than I am.
But Old Jones moans well enough, and

Oh, yvfli nuedu't l>eg my pardon sir 1 1
don’t?mind talking about it now, though
tha time wa* when I couldn’t speak of
it without a big lump coming iu my
throat.
Jl’e hadn’t been married long, I’olly
and me, when it happened. Polly was
as trim aud bright-eyed a slip of a girl
as ever yon’d wish to see. She was one
ef the waitresses in the Albany lunch
room; aud the first time I ever set eyee
upon ber I made up my mind to make
that girl my wife. Ho, when they raised
my wages, l took heart and asked her if
she would have them with me; with *
wedding ring thrown into the bargain.
“I># you really mean it, Jake ?” said
sh*, looking me full in the faco, with
those dark blue eyes of hers, that are
like stars in tho night.
‘T do really mean it, Folly,” said I.
“Then,” said she, putting both her
hands in mine, “I’ll trust you. I’ve no
living relation to advise me, so I can
only take counsel with my own heart.”
Soino were married. I rented a little
one-story house, under the hill on the
height that overlooked the Hudson—a
cozy place with a good sized wood-pile at
the rear, for winter meant winter in
those parts, and tho snow used to be
drifted up even with our door yard fence
many and many a cold gray morning.

“IVliy, Polly, girl,” said I, where’s
the harm ? A man can’t live by
self, like an oyster in his shell, aud *
social glass never yet harmed any one.”
“No,” said Polly, not a social glass,
Jak 1 . but the habit. And if you would
only put every five-cent piece that you
spend for liquor into little Bertie’s tiny
saving bank—”
“Fsbaw 1” said I. “I’m not a drunk¬

That afternoon, as 1 stood on the hack
platform of my ear, with arms foldeil
and ray eyes fixed on the snowv waste of
flat fields through which the iron truck
seemed to extend , , like . an endless black
serpent, 1 looked my own life in the
face. I made up mv mind that I had

here now. We shall bo off duty early
to-night. I’ll go home and astonish
folly!”
Hut, as night fell, the Winding drift
i of a great storm came with it. We
were belated by the snow which collected
ou the rails, aail when we reached Earl
dale there was a little girl, who had
been sent on in the care of the conduc¬
tor who must wait either three or four
hours for a way train in the cold and
cheerless station, or bo taken home
across a snowy field by some one who
knew the way.
1 thought of iny own little children.
“I’ll take her, said I—and lifting her
up, I gathered my coarse warm coat
about her and started for the long, cold
walk under the whispering pices along
the edge of tho river. I honestly believe
she would have frozen to death if she
had been left iu the cold station until
the way train could call for her. And
when l saw by the old kitchen time¬
piece that it was ten o'clock.
“Polly will think 1 have slipped back
into tho Slough of Bos pond, I said (o
myself, with half a smile; but I’ll give
her an agreeable surprise!”
Plowing down aiuid tho snow-drift,
through a grove of piue trees that edged
a ravine at tho back of my house 1
sprang lightly on the door-step; the door
was stiut and locked. 1 went around to
the front, llure 1 eft acted an entrance,
but the fire was dying on the hearth,
and little lUrtie, tucked up In his crib
called out:
* Fain*, Ltthat you /
“Where is mamma, my son ?” said I,
looking eagerly around at the desolate
room.
“Gone out with tho baby in tier arms
te look for you,” be said, “Didn’t you
meet her papa ?”
I stood a minute in silence,
“Lio still, Bertie,” said J, in a voice
that sounded at range and husky even to
myself. *‘I will go and bring her back.”
And! thought with dismay, of the
blinding »now-slorm oulsnle, the treach¬
erous gorges which lay between there
and tho IV hi to Blackbird, the trackless
woods, which It was difficult enough to
find one’s way even in tha sunshine of
noonday, and—worst of all—the lonely
track, across which an ‘express’ shot
like a meteor at a few minutes before
midnight. Oh, heaven ! what possible
doom might I uot have brought upon
myself by the wretched passion in which
l had gone away that morning.
The town clock, sounding dim and
muffled through tiie storm, struck cloven
as I hurried down the bill. Eleven—and
who knew what » length of time might
elapse before 1 could find her ? And
like a fiery phanatsmagoria before my
mind's eye, I beheld the wild rush of the
midnight express, and dreaded—I know
uol what. For all that I could realize
was, that tlie storm was growing fiercer

than once I became bewiWflred, and had
to stop and reflect before I could resume
toy quest. And when, at length, I came
out close to a ruined wood aud water
station on the edge of the »rack, I knew
that I was full half mile below the White
Blackbird.
And in the distance I heard the long
shrill shriek of tho midnight train.
Rome one else hail heard it, too. for as
I htood thus I saw, faintly visible
through the blinding snow, a shadowy
figure issue from the ruined sited and
come oljt upon t) , e track lookinj? with a
tendered uncertain air up and down—
the Iona of Folly, my wife, with the lit¬
tle baby in her arms !
I hurried down to her as fast ns the
rapidly increasing snow drifts would let

wjth a rulh and a ratt)e lhat u#a rly
tof)k u breath away,
olly ’ 1 cne ' 1 - I “Hy J speak to
me!”
She turned her wandering gaze to¬
ward roe with her vague eyes that seem
ed scarcely to recognize me.
“Have you seen my husband ?” said
slie: ‘One Jacob Cotterel, brakeman on
the local express.”

Chapter6th., on t ie “Unman Mind.’*
Let the young rising generation
ho up and doing, seeking for an Educa¬
tion and for w isdom. The prize is for al(
that faithfully labor. Grasp at the
laurels of t he liu man Mind. 11 is the
best gain that can he produced. Wheth¬
er rich or poor, in tho pursuit of any
business, strive to rise upon your own
mental salvation. If man ever reached
eminence in life, it was to more or less
extent, owing to the result of mind.
Hence it (the miud), should he highly
valued.
The Human Mind is secondly the
noblest object of all men. What is it,
that makes a great man. Tis not pliysb
cal strength, 'tis not popularity, >tis
not the fashions of tliis or any age, peo¬
ple or country. True manhood and WO
manhood consists in a combination of
good principles am! noble mimledtiess.
Blot out the goodly influence of mind,
and society will become demoralized and
every imaginable disaster will take pos¬
session of the rights and pleasures of
the human race, The “Human Mind”
commences its progress a* soon as the
capacity of reason is given. The ago,
when this takes place, is not and never
will be in my humble opinion exactly
known. Tho miml is never so much at
rest as many iu this enlightened day re¬
gard it. To sleep does not necessarily
prevent it from being active in some cer¬
tain degree of sensibility. 'Tis forever
groveling or deceiving the power of name.
All are striving for the mastery. Hut
the prize to tie awarded to the “Human
Mind,” is for integrity, honor and hap
piuess. Some of the most difficult prob¬
lems upon record, emanated from a
dose, while all was calm, nothing to
disturb.peaue, Tbeu save nature’s own sound.
it such a thing as mutation, ,a»4
that’s only n relayaUmi of business A
kind of diveraio* and retirement from
the cares and duties of life or whatever
thoughts may attack its course.
It is self sustained without measure
or heaviness. It is never nutter. It
can only bo seen anil folt in motives to
mental exertion. There are as many
different minds as there are numbers of
them in existence, no two are alike.
Every worthiness one essentially vary either in Ult
upon the medium platform,
or that of superiority. The moral na
turuasl conceive it to be, enters and
proceeds from the intluenco of mind.
Not indapsiideutly, but each in accor¬
dance with harmony, fa the complete
construction of the Human frame.
They act in concert and designed man¬
agement. How full of admonition!
how grandly sublime! how beautiful is
the scenery! In contemplating Urn
strength, the elegance and zenith of
mind take a chase with it. This
world to the mind is a scene of pleasure
and enjoyment. Its domain,however, is
iudiscrlbable, yet its calculations are ail
in pot feet unity. Counting first elemen¬
tary rudiments. Then it soars to a high¬
er elevation. Hiving into the height and
depth of atmosphere, water, season, dis¬
tance and objects of eminence. VVUile
in this strain reflection is colored to the
fact of the successful marches of intel¬
lect. To make this agreeable remain
ber the dark ages, whan to tho mind,
mau was in a stal e of gross ignorance,
superstition and idolatry. Hut since
i that time a great revolution lias taken
j place. So in my next No. 1 shall dwell
' at large upon the developments, im¬
provements etc., that have naturally
grown out of mental investigation.
Very Respectfully,
VOTING WIDOWER.
