After thy absence of long months had been,
sSot in this scene Of mirth and revelry,
but in thy lovely home, or in the deep
pbrokon solitude Of some old wood
sieneath the blue and starry canopy,
md then our greetings have been a kiss,
"a soft and sweet and lingering as o strain
OF music borne at midnight Ger the waves,
or as q thought Of love in gentle hearts.
We will not dance, dear Isabel, to.night,
Fright forms are g~lancing by us, and the tones
Df wit and mirth are ringing in our ears,
Euttheso can have no charms for us. l know
thatholier chords are trembling in our breasts
Than they could ever trill. Come, dear one
Tome and let us for a few brief moments rove
lid the sweet mazes of yon golden walk,
Where the young Rose (the Queen ofhow'rs as
Thou Of girls bright with its coronal of dew,
VIII bow to thee its i~ewelled head; and where
The water-lilly floating on the wave,
Natures brightswan.low' will gazeupat
Thee, as we gaze up at yonder burning stars,
The brceze's soft, cool fingers and mine own
VIII toss the ringlcts Of thy golden hair ;
The breeze's gentle lips and mine will breathe
Low murmurs in thy ear; and there our hearts
Forgettingt this wild, heartless dance, will walt
E'ogether to the music Of our souls.
You'd rather not? Oh very vel, Miss Brown
IL doesn't make the slightest difference;

When the daylight is departing,
And the twilight draweth nigh;

Linger in the western sky:
When the pale moon smileth sweetly
On the star-deckcd brow Of night
And the silent world is bathed
In a sea Of silvcry light
When the song birds cease their singing,
And in leafy boughs seek rest
When thou sleepest lightly, sweetly,
And art with bright visions blest:
When the night-AOwers on the dewy lea
Wave in the soft south wind,
OF l pray to be remembered
BY you, my dear Mollie.
Remember me not for good or evil,
That has mingled in my breast
Stirring up its tide of passions
From their long unbroken rest;
Though in the whirl Of giddy life
Thou mayest me forget,
o amidthy hearts glad treasures
Let my apTit linger yet.
Let it come to thee Mt even,
When The twilight breezes swell,
And whenthou shalt feel its presence,
Ihiok I love thee, o ! as well:
That upon my hearts bright mirror,
An imhge sweet doth shine,
Whose form is Of angelic mould,
Whose features all are thine.

Prof. Wood-Dear Sir: Ny hair had, for sever
panied by q harshness which rendered the constant
application of oil necessary in dressing it. When
l commenced using your Hair Restorative, about
two months ago, it was in that condition and
having continued its use till within the last three
weeks, it has turned to its natural color, and as
to those produced by the application of oils or any
other preparation I have ever used. I regard it as
an indispensable article for every lady's toilet,
whether to be used as a Hair Restorative, or for
the simple purpose of dressing or identifying the
hair. You have permission to refer to me all who
entertain any doubt of its performing all that its
claimed for it. MRS. C. SYM0NDS,

it will cure every possible disease of the scalp,

Restorative, l will state, for whomsoever it may
concern, that I have used it, and known others to

habit of using other Hair Restoratives, and that

hair to the original youthful color and texture,
giving it a healthy, soft and glossy appearance;
and all this, without discoloring the hands that
apply it, or the dress on which it drops. would,
therefore, recommend its use to every one desir-
Gus of having a fine color and texture to hair.
