A BEAUTIFUL HEAD OF
RICH GLOSSY HAIR
COMPLETELY PRESERVED
TO n GREATEST AGE.

TO THE GREATEST AGE.
And who that is gray would not have it restored
to former color; or bald, but would have the
growth restored, or troubled with dandruf and
itching but would have it removed, or troubled
with s~crofula, scald head, or other eruptons, but
would be cured, or with a sick head ache,
(neuralgia) but would be cured. 1t will also re-
move all pimples from the face and skin. Prof.
Woods Hair Restorative will do all this, see cir
cular and the following:
Am ARBoR, November 5, 1885.
pRoF. o. j. WooD-Dear Sir: ! have heard
much said of the wonderful effects of your Hair
Restorative, but having been SO often cheated By
uuackery and quack nostrums, hair dyes, &c. L
was disposed to place your Restorative in the same
category with the thousand and one loudly uum-
peted 4uack remedies, until l met you In Law
renee county some months since, when you gave
me such assurance as induced the trial Of your
Restorative in my family-frst by my good wife,
whose hair had become very thin and entirely
wbito, and before exhaustiDg one Of your large
bottles, her hair was restored nearly TO its original
beautiful brown color, and had thickened and
become beautiful and glossy upon, and entirely
over the head she continues TO use it, not supply
because of its identifying efec s upon the hair
but because of its heathful influence upon the
head and mind. Others Of my family and friends
are using your Restorative, with the bsppisst
effects; therefore, my skepticism and doubts In
reference to its character and value are entirely
removed and I can and do most cordially and
eonfdentislly recommend its use by ali who would
have their hair restored from white or gray (bJ
reason of sickness or age,) to original color and
beauty, and by all young persons who would have
their hair beautiful and glossy.
Very respectfully and gratefully yours,
SOLOMON MANN.

TIE LOVED ONES AT HOME.

/ am lonely while here, l am sad oil the day.
And the months Of the winter glide slowly
away;
THERE is no slsan Of 'unShins to scatter nay
As I grisvs while l think fths loved ones
at home.
And altho' my companions seem cheerful and
free,
And are laughing and sporting with pleasure
and glsSj
There is nothing to cheer me, but sorrOws
still come,
And / sigh for the pleasures Pve tasted at
home.
And so elton whsn darkness O'ershadows the
earth,
1 can hear the air ringing with music and
mirth
Yet IL gives me no Joy, nor diSp'rseS nay
gloom,
For my thoughts ever turn to the lOV'd ones
ut home.
But when all things are still, when my laberS
/ close,
All my sorrows are gone, while / Sweetly re-
pose
For in beautiful visions which quietly come,
lam waited away to the lOV'd ones at home.
Then / will no longer thus vainly lament,
Over scenes that are faded, and days that are
spent;
Bat will cheer up in future, and cast off nay
gloom,
And will be the mOrS happy while thinking
ofhome.
While I think Of the past then I will not de-
plors,
But will welcome the prospects which brigh
ten before
And viii cheerfully wait till the glad time
shall como,
When again I'll rejoice with the loy'd one
at home. FRANK.

you at Rlissfeld, before l got the bottle Of Restor-
alive for which you gave me an order upon your
agent in Detroit, and when ] got il we concluded
to try it on Mrs. Mann's hair, as the suresf test Of
its power. 1t has done all that you assured me it
would do and others of my family and friends,
having witnessed its effects, are now using and
recommending its use to others as entitled TO the
highest consideration you claim for it.

The Vegetable Garden,

The extreme GOODNESS and inclemency
of the month just passed, prevented much
of the preparation usually enteredinto in Feb
ruary for Vegetable Gardens. This delay
renders it highly important that this work
should now be attended to in good earnest.
As is remarked by the Southern CultivAtor,
in order to secure a regular and abundant
supply of good vegetables, the garden must
be put in q thorough condition at once
Let it, however, be remembered that the soil
should never be stirred, or any seed planted
while the ground is wet in fact, it must be
dry enough to crumble when rakod over.
English Peas that are up, may now have
q careful hoeing, drawing a good ridge Of
soil to them, particularly on ths northern
side.
All vegetable seeds, except Cucumbers and
Musk MELONS, must be planted this month,
as Beets, Spinage, Pdrsnips, Salsyy, Lettuce,
Turnipa, Onions, (black seedl Cabbage for
succession, &c.
During the latter part of the month Gao
bdge plants may be set out for q crop.
Okra seed may be planted if put in rath-
er deeply, say covered with a couple Of inches
Of soil, it will be safe and ready to start as
soon as the season will permit. Plant hisd
Potatoes, and if any of the former planting
have come up, hoe and draw the soil up. 80 as
to cover them completely, and they will seOn
appear, again.
By the middle Of the month, Water Helon'
and small crop early Corn may be put in
Adams Early and White Flint Corn ar
the best varieties.
We have often planted the seed, during tn
first week of February, and had e~xcellen
green's in four weeks.
Where S,ceet Potatoes are wanted early il
the summer, put out your sets in a hot bed
that you may have an abundance of drawst
set out by the first of April.
