HAIR REsToRATwE.-The demand for this I'M
rvaIed preparation for the hair and skin is beyond
the possibility of Doubt and its sale is greater
than any other Hair Restorative that has ever been
before the public. Tens of thousands Of persons
who were bald and gray, and others whose faces
were covered with unsighty blotches and Pimplcs
are now, with their glossy hair, and with faces
comcy and fair to look upon, seen daily promena-
ding the streets of all the principal cities of the
Union, and by their influence spreading the fame
Of Woods Hair Restorative throughout the civilized
world But the trial of one bottle is more convin-
cling than all we could say in whole newspaper
column.
Ess" It does no. die, but gives life, health, and
beauty to the decaying, falling and dead restoring
as If by magic, that which supposed to be ire
coveraby lost. Heads nearly bald and others
nearly white, are daily being changed to their
pristine beauty, and faces covered with PIN
pies are rendered as smooth an infants and blush
ing as a rose, all by the use of Prof. Woods Hair
Restorative.-SL LOUIS Commercial List. Sold by
all respectable Druggists,

THE RETORT.
BY C. Z. MORRIS.

Old Nick, who taught the village school
Welded a maid of homespun habit;
He was stubborn a mule,
She was playful as rabbit.
Poor Jane had scarce become wife.
Before her husband sought to make her
The pink Of country polished life,
And prim and formal as Quaker.
One day the tutor went abroad,
And simple Jenny sadly missed him:
When he returned, behind her lord
She syly stole, and fOndly kissed him!
The husbands anger rose and red
And white his face alternate grew
''Less freedom, ma am !'-Jane sighed and said,
'Oh, dear! didn't kno1g t1gGs you % -
EI- Some years since. Lord Talbot was granted
a divorce by the English House of Lords, his wife,
charged with an amour with illiterate groom.
The principal witness against her was thefamily
clergyman, the Rev. Mr.. Sergeant, who swore that
he had caught her in the act Of crime This clergy
man has Just given himself up the authorities,
Tossing hat he peTjUred himself by conspiracy, and
that he had to suspect the state of affairs
which he had sworn to. He is now almost insane
from remorse The persecution of Lady Talbot
made her maniac, and she died without recovering
her reason. Lord Talbot married a woman who
proved herself guilty of all he had charged his first
wife with and soon deserted him He died horri-
bly,, in the midst Of his beastly orgies, with com
pany Of degraded women Thus vengeance has
0veraken all the parties in this daboical cOnspira

ABSENCE OF MND.-An instance of absence of
mind occurred day or two since, where explorer
into the mysteries of chemical science burnt his
nose by fluid lamp with which he came in contact.
We met him day or two afterwards, with large
plaster on his nose and asked him about his hurt.
"It looks bad don't it ~ said he. We assured
him it didn't look any thing else, and asked him lift
hurt him much when it was roasting. "Ne'er bit,"
replied he; 'in fact didn't feelit at ALL so alb
sorbed in my experiments; and, though Hept smell

with a smart Irish lad with whom she had slipped

by the very accommodating hymenial agent at that
place. The circumstances connected with this ro-
mantle match are said to form parallel with the
Johnny Dean 'atfair" in New York. 1t is reported

BANK MORALS.

1t would be an absurd idea, in our judgment. to
suppose that Bank boards and the financial corpo-
rations under various characters, are governed by
the same code of morals that society recognises as
the proper standard for private individuals. What
would be dishonorabIe in an individual is regarded
as clearly legitimate in a bank. In what the DIFF
ference consists, however, it would be difficult to
determine; unless we proceed upon the idea that
as corporations souless they are not subject to
the same moral responsibility that real persons are
The Baltimore Republican informs us that at a
meeting of the Presidents of all the Banks of that
city, resolution was adopted providing for a gen.
eral suspension Of ALL Gin consequence Of the re-
ported suspension of the banks in Philadelphia"
This decision, says the Republican sis made under
the absolute conviction Of the entire souadaesS Of our
banks" and in order to keep their coin from being
taken from them. This is bank morals They have
suspended specie payments because other banks
have suspended-with the promise to resume when
the other banks resume. They have refused to
honor their paper, because the holders want the
gold upon it-but the public are informed that they
will resume whenever satisfied that they can con-
tinue business without being required to their
"promises to pay" They desire to continue their
accommodations to the community, they say, but
cannot do if required to honor their paper when
presented at the counter. They say to the holders
of their notes that they have suspended as to them
in order that they may continue their accommoda-
lions to others. This is the same policy that was
recommended to the three old banks in Nashville
but which they refused simply because policy
CHANGED to dictate otherwise.
Such course Of conduct with private individual
would be regarded dishonest and disbonOrable
but not with banks They are fictitious per
sons" "bOdy cOrpOrates," subject to no influence:
but such as eEect their Golfers
And these are the kind of institutions that the
people must continue to deal with so long as banks
are chartered. How long shall they be tolerated
How long shall the popular sense be insulted By
their continuance? Who Will contribute to abate tn
nuisance? Who will endeavOr to perpetuate it?
