So great are its nourishing properties,
whichit readily imparts to the roots Of the hair,
that il requires tut short time to produce new

II The growth of hair on children is
wonderfully improved by the use of this Oil.
II Ladies and gentlemen Of the highest Iank hayo
patronized this Oil very extensively, and such
have been its effects in every city where it has
been introduced it receives the decided prefer
II ence.
II Physicians inferior to none in Medical science,
have used and recommended it. The concur
ring testimony Of thousands put it beyond a
doubt, so that the most incredulous no longer
hesitate.
The Oil needs no high wrought description I;
such is its worth and SO highly is it valued by
those who have made trial Of it, that it stands
and will stand upon its own merits unriyalled.

DuELLING ANECDOTES.

The American Magazine for April has
a chapter on duelling, in which the fol-
lowing anecdotes are related:
Lord Brudenell ran away with mar
ried lady, who was afterwards divorced,
and he married her. But not receiving.
as he expected, a challenge from her first
husband, he wrote him note as follows:
Sir: Having done you the greatest in
iury tina, one man can DO another, think
i, incumbent upon me to offer you the
satisfaction which one gentleman owes to
an,her in such circumstances" The re-
ply was this: "My Lord, in taking off

YOU the acknowledgements which one gem
ileman owes 10 another in such circum-
stances"

A BRAVE GIRL.

AaN oaNhNuolEHaus
In this state. no minor can obtain from
the county commissioners courts a H.
cense 10 marry. without first obtaining the
consent Of his or her parent or guardian,
and without such license, cannot marry in
this state. Young couples frequently fly
10 the opposite side OF the Mississippi,
where no license is required.
These runaway Matches as they are
called, are very frequent. A laughable
occurrence Of that kind happened few
days ago, which has made much sport
in this region.
A Miss -. about IL years Of age,
who is the heiress 10 an estate valued al
$4,000. lately ran away in company
with bridesmaid and her lorer, who was
nearly thirty. Her guardian. believing
The man totally unworthy OF her, had re-
fused his consent. When they reached
the bank Of the Mississippi. the ice was
running luriously in the river, but the
young lady. expecting every moment her
guardian would arrive there in pursuit,
urged her lover to lnse not an instant in
pushing The boai from the shore. His
courage seemed to have good deal abat-
ed: but he. with the owner Of large skIif,
and The bridesmaid, embarked with his
intended bride. They had nearly reach
ed the head Of an island, about third Of
the distance from the opposite shore,
when the current became mure rapid, the
cakes Of ice very large. and their situation
extremely dangerous. The lover. excess
sively frightened, and fnrgelful Of every
body bu. his Own dear SELF. bawled out
in The mos, pilrons accent, "Oh! shall
be drowned!-I shall be drowned" and
bitterly reproached his lady 1--we as the
cause of his probable death. She uttered
not word. her courage and presence Of
mind seemed to increase with the peril.
A tremendous cake Of ice fairly capsIzed
the boat, but il was so large that all got Oh
il: the lhver rendered her no assistance at
al. Il burc them 10 the head Of the ISL
and, aud, as fortune would have il, the
chute between i, and the Missouri shore
was frozen over, and they crossed il with
out difficulty. They reached tavern
near the river. and, after changing their
wet garments and becoming warm at a
good fire, the lover limited TO the young
lady that it was time now for them TO
have the knot lied, as the magistrate had
arrived for that purpose, aud was in the
next room. She gave him most with.
ering look OF contempt, and declared she
would never unite her destiny with one
who was so selfish and cowardly. II
was in vain that he attempted by entrea
~ aud argument 10 change her resolution.
She was immoveable, and replied 10 him
with scorn.
A few days afterwards she returned 10
the house Of Der guardian, thankful thai
she had escaped marrying man whose
only object was her fortune.
Her liver returned to this side Of the
river also; but such showers Of ridicult
and contempt we're bestowed upon him
that he found it best to decamp. which
he did few nights ago. leaving behind
him host OF unpaid demands.

The Adventures OF the
Mason.

There was once upon a time a poor
mason. or hricklayer, in Granada, who
ktp. al the saints days and holydays,
aa1 sain, Monday into The bargain, and
vet, n ish all his devotion. he grew poor
:, and poorer. aud could scarcely earn
.'eal for his numerous family. One night
he vas reused from his first sleep by a
.aocsing at his door. lie opened IL. and
seaell before him tall, meagrc, eadaye-
fous looking priest.
llark We, homes. friend" said the
sanger, " l have obs, rived that YOU are

s.iI Won undertake job this very night"
With al NV heart. Senior Padre, on
coalition that am paid accordingly"
That YOU shall he. but YOU mus, sui.
ir Yourself 10 be blindfnlled."
To this the mason made no objections;
50 icing hoodwinked. he was led by the
press through various rough lanes and
aindlng passages, until they stopped be.
ire the portal of a house. The priest
then applied key, turned creaking
LEX, and opened what sounded like a
ro7!erous door They entered, the door
vas closed and boiled. and the mason
vas conducted through an echoing Corri-
Dor and spacious hall, TO an interior part
Of the building. Here the bandage was
removed from his eyes. and he found him.
'ti in patio, or court, dimly lighted by
single lamp.
In the centre was the dry basin Of an
oil Moorish fountain, under which the
pies. requested him TO form a small
vault, bricks and mortar being at hand for
The purpose. lie accordingly worked all
night. but without finishing the job. Just
before daybrcak the prizes, put a piece OF
COL! Nils hand, and having again blind
f'ded him, conducted him back 10 his
drellng.
Are you willing" said he. ito re-
turn and complete your work"
Gladly. Senior Padre, provided ! am
: well paid"
Well then, tomorrow at midnight |
will call again
He did so, and the vault was compile
ted. Now" said the priest, lyon
must help me to bring forth the bodies
TIA, are to be buried in this vault"
The poor mason's hair rose on his head
at these words; he followed the priest
with trembling steps, into retired cham.
Der Of the mansion, expecting 10 behold
some ghastly spectacle Of death, but was
relieved on perceiving three or four port
" jars standing in one corner. They
were evidently full of money. and it was
with great labor that he and the priest
carried them forth and consigned them 70
Their tomb. The vault was then closed
The pavement replaced, and all traces Of
The work obliieraled.
The mason was again hoodwinked and
led forth by route different from tina
oy which he had come. After they hat
wandered for long time through per
picked maze Of lanes and alleys. they
nailed. The priest then put two pieces 0
gold into his hands. " Wait here" sait
ne, until you hear the cathredral bel
'o'' Tor mathis. Il you presume to unco
yer Your eyes before that time, evil vii
o,itlI you." So saving he departed.
II The mason waited patiently, amusin!
n"nself by weighing the gold pieces ii
as hand and clinking them against eacl
other. The moment the cathedral bel
rang its ma,in peal, he uncovered his eye
and found himself On the banks Of th
