falls in with a fair pilgrim in black silk, whose
charming person, snowwhite neck, and hewitch-

rapturous love. She casts upon him looks of
the most languishing tenderness; he revels in
the hope of having made a blissiul conquest
He nusters courage and ventures to address
her: .....-...-. -

The Beauty of Children.
A WORD TO MOTHERS,

There is no object in the world more pleas
ant to look upon than Il beautiful child Even
the crustest of old bachelors must aCknowl-
edge this in his heart, however disappoint-
ment may have soured his temper Cnfortu-
nately. however, the freshness and natural
bloom Of childhood are often marrcd by dis
figuring disorders. Sometimes we see youth
full faces blemished with fiery circles, and look
ing as if disease had been at work upon them
with a pair of compasses dipped in red ochre
Of course every mother recognises this dcscrip-
ton of Ringworm, to which the still more dis
gushing cutaneous affection known as Scald
Head is next of kin. Probably nine -tcnths
of us have had "a touch of these unpleasant
eruptive complaints at one time or other and
most of us know that they are not only distig-
uring but excessively annoying and painful
We are aware too that most Of The nOstrums
recommended for them merely spread and ag-
gravate inflammation, and that it frequently
leads to confirmed disease of the skin Under
these circumstances it is 10 he presumed that
all parents who are not convcrSlnt with the
wonderful properties Of Holloway's Ointment.
will be glad To learn, on good authority, that
it is quick and thorough remedy for Ring
worm and Scald Head as we'll rs for other cx-
tcrnal diseases. The testimony which goes to
establish the fact is incontrovertible. and every
mother who wishes TO see the faces of her dar-
encrusted with cXcrcsccnt matter is entitled
to know it.
Professor Holloway has obtained such a rep
utation throughout the world for his external
and internal remedies that his name must of
course be familiar to all our readers but after
all there is no harm in giving point and force
to general concentration by specifying certain
diseases in which one knows that they have
worked wonders. The effect of the Ointment
in cases of Ringworm and Scald Head. is but
a spocimcn of its marvellous operation in all
skin diseases yet we dare say there are many
who have used it for boils, bruises, blotchcs,
&c, SC. who have scarcely thought of it with
reference to these two scourgcs Of childhood.
II any mother should try it on our recummcn-
dalton, we have little doubt she will give it
permanent place in her nursery closet for the
time to come. Much NAV be done to prevent
the ordinary cutaneous diseases of children by
proper diet, but after the disorder has actually
developed itself, there is no curative so reliable
as Holloway's Ointment-N T. Sunday .Mer-
curry.

81 THINK the following" writes friend in
Maine, too good to be lost" We think SO
too:
one evening, not many years ago, while
our Supreme Court was holding its sessions in
Somerset County, some of the legal brethren
were warming their legs before blazing fire
in rural tavern, and cunvcrsing upon various
matters pertaining to the profession. Il. J.
Bacon, whose long silence indicated that his
mind was in travail with some great thought,
broke out by asking if any of his brethren
could relieve him from his trouble
- wish, said he, to commence an action
against boy who was caught stealing apples
! find no case of the kind in any of our reports,
and ! am at a loss for a precedent
The landlord overheard the question, and
informed the vcrdant youth that he knew a
case just in point.
80 All said Bacon, in whose reports shall
find it?
go In Webster's, said the landlord, gravcly
Webster reports replied Bacon Well,
now you speak of it, l do think remember
something like it there. Do you know the
volume?
80 Yes, do; have copy in the house if
you would like to see it,
81 would be greatly obliged to you for it,
as | have left mine at home
The landlord stepped out, and soon re-
turned with Webstcrs Spelling Book ! and,
turning to the story, An old man found a
rude boy on one of his trees, stealing apples,
passed the book to his legal friend, who threw
it into the fire, in the midst of roars of laugh
ter, and speedily made his disappearance.
