sshakspcnre's IHappincss,

There seems to have been period of
Shakspeare's life when his heart was ill at
ease, and i'll content with the world or his
own conscience the memory of hours
mlsspent, the pang of affection misplaced
or unrequited, the experience of mans
worse nature. which intercourse with i'll
chosen associates, by choice or circum-
stance, peculiarly teaches--these, as they
sank into the depth of his great mind,
seem not only to have inspired into it the
conception of Lear and Timon, but that
of one primary character, the censurer of
mankind. This type is first seen in the
philosophic melancholy of Jacques, gazing
with undiminished serenity and with a
gaiety of fancy, though not of manner, on
the follies of the world. 1t assumes a
graver cast in the exiled Duke of the same
play, and next one rather more severe, in
the Duke of "Measure for Measure" In
all these, however, it is merely contem-
plative philosophy. In Hamlet" this
is mingled with the impulses of a perturb-
ed heart under the pressure of extraordi-
nary circumstances it shines no longer,
as in the former characters, with steady
light, but plays in iitful corrUscations
amidst feigned gaity and extravaganza.
In clear" it is the flash of sudden inspi-
rations across the incongruous imagery of
madness; in "Timon' it is obscured by
the exaggerations fmisanthropy. These
plays all belong to nearly the same period;
Gas you Like 1t" being usually referred
to 1000, "Hamlet," in lis altered form, to
about 1902, "'Timon" to the same year,
"Measure for Measure" to 1903, and
LEAR" to 1904. In the later plays of
Shakespeare, especially "Macbeth," and
in the "Tempest," much of moral specu-
lation will be found, but he has never
returned to this type of character in the
Literature.

Copy of letter from DR.. S. s. Fitch.
PHyL,pELpHIA. Nav 10. 1899

DR.. Jayne,-Dedr Sri feel that can hardly
say enough to you in favor of Ahberts Ohaginous
Hair Tonic sold by you. My hair had been falling
off two years, and had become very thin, threatning
speedy badness when | commenced using this
remedy. In about one week it ceased to fall off
have used it now about three months, and have
as full and thick a head of hair as | can possibly
desire. | have recommended its use to a number
ofmy friends, who all speak well oft. Ifhithful-
" employed, have no doubt ofits general success.
may add that before using the Tonic, | had tried
almost all the various articles employed for the
hair, such as the Macassar Oil, all the different
preparations of Bears Oil, Vegetable Hair Oil,
&c DC. without experiencing much if any
benefit. Respectfully yours

Names Of Newspapers.

We yesterday copied an account of an
accident in the interior, from the Marietta
.4nt. Now there is no accounting for
taste but it strikes us that the person
who selected that title must have been
extremely pressed for a name, before he
sought the arcana of entomology. He
ought to have gone higher into the animal
kingdom, land or marine. Why not have
called his journal the United States Lion,
and Marietta Terrapin! Or the Penn
sylvania Coon! or some such high sound
ing and popular name! We fear, too,
that some rival will misapprehend the
title, and take it to express no more than
public compliment, to a female relative
and so come out with an opposition sheet,
which he will call the Marietta Uncle
Philadelphia Gazette.

messenger to town seventeen miles oT for bot

thirty six hours the disease was checked; and by
its continued use for a few days the child was
restored to perfect health. Shortly after this,
there occurred similar case in one of the fami-

which obtained of you last October, has proved
most satisfactory and successful. NY hair had
for long time been exceedingly thin. Bat for
two or three years past it had so fallen out that nv
head had become almost entirely bald. I was
under the necessity of concealing the badness by
combing the hair on the sides over it. But now
after using about half bottle of the "1'onic." |
have as luxuriant growth of hair as ever had.
