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. PITH AM POINT. i Lost at sea—The sight of land.

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. Tiie coins struck at the Berlin mint during the reign of the late Emperor Frederick are already scarce, and are held at a big premium. Beauty Without Paint. “What makes my skin so dark and muddy?

Marlon Harland. 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.” In 35 day’s stay at Milan, the bills of the sick emperor of Brazill were nearly $100,000.
