Two IlArs too Few. —A gentleman some what advanced in life, who was the other ]>art of a strong minded lady, had great faith in spiritualism. His wife o? only proclaimed her infidelity, and with the consistency which of ten forms a part of the female eh meter for a long time refused to be eo .rioted. Her hus band induced from her a promise to make one of a circle at the resitV. nee of a celebrated me dium, upon condition, however, that r.he should precede her husband in entering the house, and that nothing should be said o done by him, which should disclose to the “medium” the fact that any connexion ex’s ed between them. The wife, on entering, found two gentlemen in waning- and the aforesaid medium. Soon after this the husband came in, and a circle was formed, the lady, of course, taking prece dence over the others. She ascertained that a spirit was present who woo’d communicate with her, and was desired to a-k any test ques tion which she might think proper. After having been informed that she must put her questions so as to have them answered affirma tively by 3 raps, or negatively by one rap. She questioned as fallows : ‘‘Am I married ? ’ Hap, rap, rap ! “Have I ever been married but once?” 11 a p ! “Ho-.v long have I been married ?” Hap, rap, rap, tap, rap, rap, rap, rap ! (“8 yeaiv”) said the medium. “Have 1 children ?” Rap, rap, rap ! “How many ?’’ Map, rap, rap, rap ! (‘ 4,”) said the medi um The lady wa* somewhat startled at the cor rectness if these answers, ami freely confessed it. With a radiant face, the limb nd then ‘braced in,’ and asked the following test ques tions: ‘Am I married ?” Rap, rap, rap ! ‘How long have I been married V ‘Rap >-ap, rap, rap, rap, rap, rap, rap. ! ‘Strange coincidence !’ murmured the medi um. ‘Have 1 children V Ran, rap, rap ! ‘Wha-a-t V Rap. rap! ‘Rood Rod ! How many’?’ Rap, rap ! ! The wife swooned, and the husband, when last seen, was walking on the Jersey flats. To this day the lady professes to disbelieve— N. Y. Daily Dispatch. Ki.oQcr.XT Extract. —Tim following extract is from a work entitled ‘The Old Iloire by the River “Go preach to the dead, ye who deny the im mortality of the affections. Go reason with taees, or lulls, or images of wood, cr w th your own motionless, lifeless, icy souls, ye who be lieve that because there is no marrying yonder there shall be embracing, or because we may not nse the gentle words, ‘my wife,’ wo may not clasp these sanctified forms in our Inly arms! I tell you, man, that immortality would be a glorious cheat, if vvir.li our clay died all our first affections. I tell yon that anni hilation would be heaven, if I could believe that when my head at length rests on its coffin pillow, and my lies sink to the silence of death these loving eyes will never look into mine •again, this pure clasp never be around my neck, this holy caress never bless me more. Power or the Human Eye — Jeorgia Pitt, afterwards Lord Rivers, declaring that he could tame the most ferocious animal by look ing at it steadily. Lord. Spencer said, “Well, there is a mastiff in the court-yard hero which is the terror of the neighborhood; will you try your powers on him ?” Pitt agreed to do so, and the company descended into the court yard. A servant held the mastiff by a chain. Pitt knelt; down a short distance from the uni mul, and stared him sternly in the face. They all shuddered —At a signal given, the mastiff was let loose, and rushed furiously towards Pitt, then suddenly chocked his pace, seemed confounded, ami, leaping over Pitt’s head, ran away, and was not seen for many hours after. During one rs mv visits to Italy,l was walking a little before my carriage, on the road not far from Vicenza, I preeeived two huge dogs bounding towards me. I recollected what Pitt had done, and trembling- from head to foot, I had resolution enough to stand quite still and eye them with a fixed look. They gradually relaxed their speed from a gallop to a trot, came up to me, stopped for a moment, mid then went back again. —Rogers Tabic Book. Danger oe Hoop Wearing in a High W ini). — During- the wind on Saturday after noon, fsays the Detroit Advertiser,) and while the dust was circulating so thick that no one ■could see nice than the length of an eyelash in front, a lady, dressed in the most elegant style, incoming round one of the corners was lifted off her feet by the force of the wind ac ting on the great expanse of surface which she presented to it Tiie wind unfortunately did not set Iter down in the same position in which she was before being taken up, but turning her gently on one side, it laid her endwise on the side-walk, where she commenced a series of astonishing gyrations, rolling over on the hoops of the skirts, and exhibiting a species of locomotion which is not generally appreciated and which may come into fashion with high winds and large circlets of light, material.— As the lady thus rolled over, several poisons were knocked down and passed over by the lady and the hoops, without ever knowing that anything had bent them. Fortunately for the lady, the dust and the astonishment of the people out of doors permitted but a few so witness this new method of getting along in a stiff breeze and keeping up full rail attiie same time. As we came round a corner we found the lady wedged between a lump post and a hydrant,and immediately as-ist and her to ari up right instead of a ree unbent position. —IH jnb. Kansas Affairs. Washington, Dec. B.—Judge Lecompte, of Kansas, has been removed, and it is rumored that Jas. O. Harrison, of Kentucky, will re eeive the appointment.— Const. Ifr&p The Washington City Star, of 6th in stant, says : “The story that Judge Wayne, of the Sumreme Court, has had an attack of paralysis, turns out to be wholly untrue.

Three months ago my hair was very grey. It is now a dark brown, (the original color.) smooth and glossy. The only application I have made to it, has been the Hair Restorative, prepared by you, and which, from the result in my own case, 1 can most cordially recommend to others. Respectfully yours, EDWARD WALCOTT. Vincennes, la.. June 21. 1*53. Prof. O J Wood : Aw you are about to manufacture and vend your recently discovered Hair Restorative, i will state for whomsoever it may concern, that 1 have used it, ami j known otiieis to use it—that 1 have for several years been in the habit of using other Ilair Restoratives, and that 1 find yours vastly superior to any other 1 know. It entirely cleanses the head of dandruff, and with one month's pro per use, will restore any person's hair to the-original youth ful color andtexture, giving it a healthy, soft and glossy appearance ; and all this, without discoloring the hands that apply it. or the dress on which it drops. 1 would therefore recommend its use to every one desirous of having a tine color and texture to hair. Respectfully yours, WILSON KING. St. Louis, Jane 29. 1'53. Prof. Wood : As you are about to prepare and vend your recently discovered Hair Restorative, and as you request my opinion of it, 1 wif! state that my hair was, a few months j ago, very grey, and after using two bottles of your Hair | Restorative, it resumed its original color, and since its ap ! plication, all cl and ruff'has disappeared from my head.ami I I have been troubled with no disagreeable itching of the scalp. lam satisfied that those who use it, will unt regret it, as it gives the appearance of having been recently oiled. I am prepared therefore, to recommend its use to all who are desirous of having a beautiful head of hair. I am, sir, yours, etc., 11 L STEWART. Cincinnati, 0., Feb. 10, 1854. Prof. Wood—Dear Sir : Mv hair had for several years, been becoming prematurely grey, accompanied by a harsh ness which rendered the constant application of oil neces sary in dressing it. When 1 commenced using your Hair- Restorative. a bout two mont s ago, it was in that condi tion ; and having continued its use till within the last three weeks.it has turned to its natural color, and assumed a softne.-sami lustre greatly to be preferred to those produced by the application of oils or any other preparation I have ever used. I regard it as an indispensable article for every lad}’ s toilet, whether to be used as a Hair Restorative, or for the simple purpose of dressing or beautifying the hair. You have permission to refer to me all who entertain any doubt of its performing all that is claimed for it. MBS C SYMONDS, 144, 3rd Street. Watertown. Mass., May 1. 1854. Prof. O J Wood : Allow me to attest the ~- irtues and magic powers of your Hair Restorative. Three months since, being exceedingly grey, ] purchased, and soon com menced to use two bottles, and it soon began to tell, in re storing the silver locks to their native color, and the hair which was before dry and harsh and falling off, now became soft and glossy, and it ceased falling ; the dandruff’ disap peared. and th” scalp lost all the disagreeable itching so annoying before, and now 1 not only look, but feet young again.
