NATURE'S CHIEFEST ORNAMENT.—AII who are aware
of the great importance of a Fine Head of Hair, and its
paramount interest over all that pertains to the personal
appearance, have hailed the introduction of the BALM of
COLUMBIA to their notice with the liveliest satisfaction.
Of this high appreciation C. and A. OLDRIDGE have the
most convincing proof, in the numerous voluntary testi-
monials and recommendations which they have receiv-
-4gsion from V-- t-

and published by perini___ aux Lo time. The
following letter is strongly expressive of the advantages

11.&11.0, i GU. V, 1010.
" Gentlemen,—ln justice to you I think I ought to tell you
that your BALM of COLUMBIA has entirely restored my hair,
which, from a long residence in the West Indies, and illness
there, was nearly all gone before I began to use it. I have no
objection to your making use of my name in any way as re-
gards the sale of your BALM of COLUMBIA. I think it a duty
I owe to the public in general.—Your obedient servant,
" J. DELAP WILSON.

To Messrs. C and A. Oldridge,
" 1, Wellington:street, the second house from the Strand,

OLDRIDGE'S BALM causes Whiskers and Eye-brows to
grow, prevents the Hair from turning grey, and the first
application causes it to curl b( autifully, frees it from
scurf, and stops it from falling off. Abundance of Cer-
tificates of the first respectability are shown by the Pro-
prietors, C. and A. OLDRIDGE, 1, Wellington-street,
Strand, where the Balm is sold, and by most of the re-
spectable Perfumers and Medicine Venders. Price3s. 6d.,
65., and Ils. per Bottle. No other Prices are genuine.

THE ORIENTAL DIVAN is Still in Clayton-square, and
the fare, as usual, excellent.

CLUB.—The introduction of out-
door exercises,—cricket, bowls, &c., has greatly added to
the number of the members of this club ; an institution,
the excellence of which, if known, would command as
patrons half the town.

THE BRUNSNVIC

DEAFNESS.--The advertisement of Mr. Bennett ap-
pears in our paper to-day, and having received the names
of many who have benefitted greatly by his treatment,
we cannot do less than recommend him to those afflicted.
Mr. Bennett, though professionally and by diploma,
authorised to practice every branch of medicine, has
devoted his entire study to the diseases of the ear, which
application may solve the numerous alleviations he has
effected.
FORGIVENESS OF OTHERS.—It is in vain for you to

t is impudent for you

_
on your own behalf, if you refuse to exercise this forgiving
temper with repect-to others.

ACTIVE GOODNESS.—You cannot live for men without
living with them. Serve God, then, by the active ser-
vice of men. Contemplate more the good you can do,
than the evil you can only lament. Allow yourself to see
the loveliness of nature amidst all its imperfections.
