FENHIS Astonishing and UnequaIed prepa-
u ration, turns hair back to its original color,
after having become gray and reinstates IL in all its
original health, lustre softness, and beauty; re-
moves at once dandruf from the scalp, and all un-
pleasant itching well all cutaneous eruptions
such as Scald heads, &C.. and hence creates a per-
fectly healthy state ofthe scalp by acting stimu-
anand tonic to the organs necessary to supply color
ing matter to the hair, and completely restores them
to their original vigor and strength and thus pre-
vents all tendency TO become gray. 1t also prevents
the hair from becoming unhealthy, and falling off,
and brings it out where it is gone by resuscitating
and colorng matter to it, and hence acts as perfect
Hair Invigorator and Tonic.
CHARLEsTowN, MASS, Aug. 9, 1855.
GENTLEMEN: Nothing but duty and sympathy
that feel to communicate to others who are afflicted
as have been would induce me to give this public
acknowledgment of the benefit have received from
Prof Woods Hair Restorative. When first COM
menced using it my hair was quite gray and in spots
entirely bald have now used the Restorative about
five months, and my hair is entirely changed to its
original color brown and the new hair is over three
inches in length on the spots where it was bald.
have also been much gratifed at the healthy mois-
ture and vigor of the hair whchbefore was dry and
it has ceased to come out MS formerly.

Mischief Makers.

O! could there in this world be found Some little spot of happy ground Where village pleasure might go round :. Without the village tattling .gs,-s How doubly blest that place would be, Where all might dwell in liberty, Free from the bitter misery;
 Of gossips' endless prattling. If such a spot were really known, Dame Peace might claim it as her own, And in it she might fix her throne
 Forever and forever. 2 There like oaeen might reign and live, While every one would soon forgive The little slight they might receive, And be offended never. D. 'Tis mischief makers that remove Far from our hearts the warmth of love, And lead us all to disapprove
 What gives another pleasure. , They seem to take one part--but when They've heard our cares unkindIy, then They soon retail them all again, ,,s
 Mix'd with the poisonous measure. And then they've such a cunning way Of telling their ill-meant tales, they say, Don't mention what say, Ipray;
 would not tell another Straight to your ncighbor's house they go, Narrating every thing they know. And break the peace of high and low,
 Wife, husband, friend and brother. O! that the mischief making crew Were all reduced to one or two, And they were painted red or blue,
 That every one might know them! Then would our villages forget - To rage and quarrel, fumc and fret, And fall into an angry pet,
 With things so much below them. For 'tis sad degraded part. To make aaother's bosom smart. And plant dagger in the heart
 We ought to love and cherish Then let us evermore be found In quictness with all around While friendship, joy and peace abound
 And angry feelings perish

BEAUTIFUL ExrRAcr.--The following waif, afoat on the " sea of reading" we clip from an exchange. We do not know it's paternity, but it contains some wholesome truths, beautifully set forth
 Men seldom think of the great event of death until the shadow falls across their own path, hiding from their eyes the traces of the loved opes. whose living smile was the sunlight of their existence. Death is the great antag- onist of life, and the cold thought of the tomb is the skeleton of all feasts. We do not want to go through the dark valley, although it's passages may lead to paradise and, with Charles Lamb. we do not want to lie down in the muddy grave, even with kings and princes for our hed-fellows But the fiat of nature is irtexorable. There is no appeal or relief from the great law which doolns us to dust We flourish and we fade as the leaves of the forest, and the flower that blooms and withers in a da5 has not . frailcr hold upon life than the mightiest monarch that ever shook the earth with his footsteps. Generations of men appear and vanish as the grass, and the countless null titude that throngs the world to-day. will to morrow disappear as the footsteps on ths shore In the beautiful drama Of Ion, the instinct el immortality, So eloquently uttered by the death devoted Greek, finds . deep response in every thoughtful soul When about to offer hfs young existence as | sacrifice to fate, his De lcsed Clemanthe asks if they shall not meel again, to which he replies F have asked that dreadful question of the hills that look eterpa

 To each and to all the bright gem of mind Then tis but to strive, and the fetters are riven
 That down to the earth our free souls would bind. Arise, then, and onward, nor deem it beneath thee

LIFE Is q library, composed of several volumes. With some, these volumes are richly gilt-with others, quite plain. Of it's several volumes. tho first is Childs Book, full of pretty pictures !; the second is School Book, plotted, inked and dogs 'eared the next is Thrilling Romance, full of love, hope, ruin and despair, winding up with marriage with the most beautiful heroine that ever was; there is Housekeeping Book. with. the butchers and bakers bills increasing every year after. that come the Day Book and Ledger, swelling out into a series of many vol. tunes, presenting rare fund of varied informa- tion, and jingling like ascash-box with money |; these are followed up with grave History
 solemnly traveling over the events of the past. with many wise deductions and grave warnings {; and last of all comes the Chlds Book again, with it's pages rather soiled, and it's pictures by 10 means so bright as they used to be. To the above library is sometimes added the Banker,s Book, thick with gold---it is very scarce work. and only to be met with in the richest collections
