5 the . OLD-FASHIONED HAIR.
Oh, the old-fashionpd hair of the sweet long
ago
Is the kind I shall always love best,
And the faces it' framed with its beautiful
grace
Of the dear ones long since gone to rest.
There were tresses, and ringlets, and long
braided looks,
There were beautiful, bonnie bright curls,
And high combs and side combs, and fair
shining coils,
That were worn by the old-fashioned girls.
11 remember the roach that my grandfather
wore,
Brushed back from his broad, honest brow,
With an elegant, easy simplicity, which,
Though I look for, I never see now.
And my grandmother’s hair—snowy white—
hid away
j 'Neath a head-dress of dainty white lace,
Curving down from her brow in a smooth
silver band,
Framed a queenly and beautiful face.
As the proud, noble face of my great Uncle
George
Looks down from the canvas at me,
With the “old timey” stock and the fine
powdered wig—
’Tis as Uandsomo and grand as can be!
But the dearest and loveliest hair in the
world
Is my mother’s soft, beautiful brown,
With a touch of the gold, and glint of the
sun,
And away to her knees falling down.
And it tells its own story of womanly grace,
And the -old fashioned modesty, too,
Of that sweet, indescribable beauty of soul.
And the mother’s love, tender and true
| For the angel that painted the rainbow could
find
I Not a tint so exquisite and rare!
Oh the wealth of luxurious, rippling waves,
Of my mother’s brown, beautiful hair!
So I honor the hair of the sweet long ago
Whether silver, or dusky, or fair.
For it brings back dear faces, and good,
honest hearts—
■And I love it—the old-fashioned hair!
—Margaret Andrews Oldham.

Out near the pretty town of Coates
ville, _ in Chester County, “The Ram¬
bler” (with a Philadelphia coaching
party) able, old-fashioned stopped one night at a comfort¬
country hotel, and
a dude from Philadelphia, stopping at
the same hotel, kept his eye fixed on
Colonel Jamison, who then, as always,
was driving. the After a smoking hot sup¬
per, where very best country fare
was served in excellent style, the ladies
retired to the parlor, while the gentle¬
men of the coaching party strolled out
upon the time-stained porch, where
they took arm chairs and sat down to
smoke their Havanas.
Col. Jamison had just begun to blow
blue wreaths of smoke dreamily toward
the starlit sky, when the dude who had
spotted hotel drifted him when he drove up to the
up to his elbow.
“Good evening, sir,” said the would
be swell, condescendingly.
“How are you!”
“Oh. I’m well. Nice horses you’ve
got.” ‘Yes.’’
“I’m going to the village of -to¬
morrow, and it might bo worth wb'G to
drive me over,”
“What will you give?”
“A dollar, and it’s only about five
miles - ”
Here the conversation dropped for
the night, but in the morning when
Colonel Jamison’s coach was brought
up to the door by the grooms, a pale
faced, scared-looking young man was
seen standing by a group of tlio hotel
boarders. It was the dude and he had
evidently been gaining information over
night. He looked as if he wished he
had never made that munificent offer of
one dollor to the stranger who drove up
to the hotel the night before. The party
had just taken their seats on the coach
when the dude rushed out and bowing
to Col. Jamison said:
“I beg vour pardon.”
“Why?” “I thought
you were the driver when
I saw you last night.”
“It’s all right, I am the driver,” said
the Philadelphia banker, as he gave the
horses their heads and the tallyho dashed
on its way.— Philadelphia News.
The Great Jubilee.
No event of the nineteenth century
has attracted more attention than the
celebration of the one hundredth anni¬
versary of the Northwest Territory in
Cincinnati on the Fourth of July, which
is to continue one hundred days, or un¬
til October 37, 1888. Extensive prepa¬
rations have been made for it in the
erection of mammoth buildings in the
heart of the city; the million feet of
space for exhibiting purposes have been
allotted; the general government will
contribute a handsome display, the best
art collection ever seen in America has
been secured; there will be the most
elaborate electrical display ever witnessed
in this country, and, in short, no show
of the magnitude of the Centennial Ex¬
position has ever been witnessed in this
country.

The celebrated authoress,sr highly esteemed
by the women of Ameria, says on pages 103
and 445 of her popu ar work “ Eve's Daughter's;
or, Common Sense for Maid, Wife and Mother:"
“For the aching back—should it be slow in
recovering its normal strength—an Allcock’s
Pobous Plaster is an excellent comforter,
combining the sensation of the sustained
pressure of a strong warm hand with certain
tonio qualities developed in the wearing. It
should be kept over the seat of uneasiness for
several days—in obstinate cases, for perhaps a
fortnight.”
"For pain in the hack wear an Allcock’s
Pobous Plaster constantly, renewing as it
wears off. This is an invaluable support when
the weight on the smali of the back bee jmes
heavy and the aching incessant.”
