II THE HAIR.-People have for centuries
been afflicted with bald hoads, and the only
remedy, heretofore known, has been those abom-
Unable wigs. By n recent discovery OF Professor
Wood these articles are being fast disposed with
but great many persons still patronze them,
because they have been so often imposed upon
by Hair TONES of dsferent kinds. 10 all such
persons, we earnestly make the request, that
they will try once again, for in Nood's Restofa-
tive there is no such thing as fail. Ne.know OF
lady who was bald, who used the article q
short time, and her head is now covered com
plerely with the tiniest and most beautiful curlS
imaginable. We know Of numerous cases where
hair was rapidly falling out, which it restored Il
greater perfection than it even had been bcfole
1t is also without doubt one Of the best arti-
cles for keeping the hair in good condition, ma

The Game Fowl Business.

In an article descriptive of the business of
a game-cock raiser in Pennsylvania, the
Charleston Mercury communicates the fol-
lowing information
Annually, the Doctor tests his strains
by taking his fowls one year old, putting
strong steel gaf1s on each; they are then
permitted to fight until they are literally
cut to pieces, the cold steel entering the
flesh at every blow, and the fowls standing
it unflinchingly. If one chance to run, of

female. In this way he maintains the great
name his stock has acquired for were their
purity doubted, their value would fall about
five hundred per cent. Our readers may
deem this extravaganza, but when we tell
them all his strains, comprising Mexican,

age exaggerated.
All classes purchase them-cockers for
the purpose of winning money, farmers for

Precocfty of Genius.

Cicero's first great speech in defence of
Roscius was made at the age of twenty seven.
1t was at the sameage at which Demosthenes
distinguished himself in the assembly of the
Athenians. Dante published his "VIta
Nuova" when just twenty seven. Dryden
first gave testimony to his poetical genius
at the age of twenty seven. Burns issued
his first publication in his twenty seventh
year. Washington was but twenty seven
when he covered the retreat of the British
troops at Braddock's defeat, and was APP
pointed to the command in chief of all the
Virginia forces. John Quincy Adams was
appointed by Washington in 1877 minister
to the Netherlands, thus commencing his
public life at the age of twenty seven. Ma
poleOn, we believe was only twenty seven
when he led the army into Egypt. Some
of the poets that have been the pride of
life. Some few, however, have produced
their best pieces in old age. Cowper was
fifty before he attained any reputation as an
author. Young never wrote anything that
could be called poetry till he was over sixty
and be was more than eighty when he pnb-
lshed his poem on Resignation" Chaucer
wrote his best poetry after he was sixty.
Pope wrote at twelve years of age Cow
ley at fifteen, and Chatterton at eleven.
Samuel Rogers was fixed in his determine
ton to become poet by the perusal of
Beattie's minstrel" when only nine years
of age. Thomas Moore wrote poetry in bis
fourteenth year, which was published in the
Dublin Magazine. Campbell wrote bis poem
on the Pleasures of Hope" at twenty one
the same age at which Pope wrote his
essay on " Criticism" Shelley wrote at the
age of fifteen at the age of eighteen he
produced his wild, atheistical poem "Queen
Nab. Keats published his " Endymion" in
his twenty second year, cruel criticism on
which caused his death. Mrs. Hemans ven
tured on publication in her fifteenth year.
Mrs. Norton composed her "Sorrows of
Rosalie" in her seventeenth year. John
Mayne in his sixteenth year published the
germ of his Siller Gun" Hannah More
published her Search after Happiness in
her seventeenth year. Sir Edward Bulwer
Lytton wrote verses at the age of five or six
years.

1t is not safe in these days of wonderful
discoveries and great inventions to speak
irreverently of any new project, however
marvellous it may seem, for it is hard to say
what modern genius and scientific investiga
lions will not reveal. For this reason, we
do not venture to express doubt of Mr..
Germans ability to build steamboat that
will make one hundred miles an hour. But
a correspondent of the Buffalo Commercial,
who seems to have given the subject some
attention, hints some scruples as to the prac-
ticabilit of it. He closes a communion
ton with the following statements, which,
if facts, will go far to Undue the public mind
with his own doubts:
"Now / state it as fact, which no one
entitled to have an opinion on the subject
will dispute, that if the present maximum
speed is sixteen and two thirds miles an
hour, it would require just thirty six times
as many steam engines, of the size and pow
er of those of the Great Eastern, to propel
that ship one hundred miles an hour. Pre-
vious to mathematical demonstration, it
would seem impossible to improve the form
of steamships to so great degree that the
water would offer but one thirty sixth part
of the resistance that it does to the best spe-
pimens of naval architecture. A mathema>
tician would hardly deem it worth his while
to listen to the proposed demonstrations
is certain that no one but mathematician

Death of Ex-Governor Jones, of
Tennessee.

The Hon. James G. Jones, whose decease
at his home in Memphis, is announced by
telegraph this morning, filled prominent
place in the politics of Tennessee, for fifteen
or eighteen years. He was native of
Wilson county, and young and we'll to do
farmer, OF moderate collegiate advantages,
when first elected to public life, in 1889, as
member of the Legislature for bis native
county. As party excitement ran high at
the time, being the eve of the noted presi.
dental canvass of 1910, Mr.. Jones, who was
of Wing politics, soon made his mark as a
popular debater, earnest in manner, and i'm
pressive, rather than polished in matter !;
and after being placed on the electoral
ticket, to stump the State for Gen. Harrison,
which he did with most effective zeal, he
was nominated for Governor in 1S4l,
against the then Democratic incumbent of
the Office of the late President Polk. He
carried the State, but not to the conclusive
satisfaction of Mr.. Polk, who, upon the
denomination of Mr.. Jones in l843, again
took the stump, and was beaten as before,
by about 5000 majority, though not until
after a singularly close and able hand to
hand contest on both side. After his second
term as Governor, Mr.. Jones served on the
electoral ticket for General Taylor, though
originally opposed to lis nomination at
Philadelphia over Mr.. Clay-as be was to
Harrison over Clay at Harrisburg, in 1889.
In 1851, he was elected to the United States
Senate, where he served his term of six
years, with less distinction than had attended
his early political career, on a less trying
and conspicuous theatre.

Execution of Col. Hayne.

Among the distinguished men who fell
victims during the war of the revolution,
was Col. Isaac Hayne, of South Carolina,
man who, by his amiability of character,
and high sentiments of honor and upright
ness, had secured the good will and affection
of all who knew him. He had wife and
six small children, the Oldest a boy thirteen
years of age. His wife, to whom he was
tenderly attached, fell victim to disease
an event FASTENED not improbably by the
Inconvenience and sufferings incident to a
state of war, in which the whole family
largely participated. Colonel Hayne him
self was taken prisoner by the British forces,
and in short time was executed on the
gallows, under circumstances calculated to
excite the deepest commiseration. A great
number Of persons, both English and Amer
lean, interceded for his life. The ladies of
Charleston signed petition in his behalf !;
his motherless children were presented on
their Blended knees as humble suitors for
their beloved father-but in vain. During
the Imprisonment of the father, the eldest
son was permitted to stay with him in
prison. Beholding his only surviving parent,
for whom he felt the deepest affection,
loaded with irons and condemned to die, be
was overwhelmed with CONSERVATION and
sorrow. The wretched father endeavored to
console him, by reminding him that the
unavailing grief of the son tended only to
increase his own misery; that we came into
the world to die; and he could even rejoice
that his troubles were so near an end.
"To morrow" said he, az set out for
Immortality. You will accompany me to
the place of execution and when am dead
take my body and bury it by the side of
your mother"
The youth here fell on his fathers neck,
crying, Oh, my father my father I will
die for you! 1 will die for you'll"
Colonel Hayne, as he was loaded with
irons, was unable to return the embrace of
his son, and merely said to him in reply
Live, my son-live to honor God by a
good life; live to serve your country and
live to take care of your brother and little
sisters"
The next morning Col. Hayne was con-
Quoted to the place of execution. His son
accompanied him. As soon as they came
in sightof the gallows the father strengthened
himself and said:
Now, my son, show yourself a man
That tree is the boundary of my life, and all
my life's sorrows. Beyond that the wicked
cease from troubling, and the weary are al
rest. Don't lay too much at heart our sep
aratioa it will be but short. To-day die
and you, my son, though but young, must
shortly follow me-"

An Eastern ALE CORY.

A wise and venerable brahmin of the
East, whose austre virtue and expansive
b7nevolence had won for him gifts of
mighty power from Vishnu, while meditat-
ing in his solitary walks, beheld a small dog
fleeing in terror from ferocous mastiff.
The pursuer fast gained upon his painting
prey, and had already crushed him to the
earth beneath his heavy paws, preparatory
to devourng him. The good brahmin
promptly interposed for the preservation of
the oppressed, and by exercise of his mighty
power which his deity had given him, at
once changed the little dog into powerful
tiger. The tiger Frustrated the masitff at
a single blow, and revelled in his e-blood.
The brahmin turned and fled in terror from
the spot. When being questioned why
he feared The tiger and fed from him.
when the latter had so much cause for
gratitude to him as the preserver of his life,
he answered, II am the only living person
that knew him as dog
And such is life. Gratitude for favors
received is too often smothered in hatred for
the giver. In miserable, false shame con-
corning former circumstances over which
he could have no control, man often loses
sight of the real shame which be should feel
for want of gratitude towards his benefactor.
10 fact, the very sense of obligation to
gratitude seems to engender hate in some
mems minds, and revepgeful thirst to in
jure those who have benefited them There
are many tigers of to day in the world who
were the dogs of yesterday; and having
now slain the mastiffs which sought their
lives, their eyes glare wildly in search of
their benefactors who have known them as
dogs that they may slay them too, and thus
obliterate all knowledge of their former
lives. The moral is, o reader of ours when
you make great man of small one, expect
no favor from him, look for no gratitude,
but shun him as you would the plague.

AUTUMN.

From the Glasgow Courier.
Bright flowers are sinking,
Streamlets are shrinking,
Now the wide forest is wither'd and sere;
Light clouds are flying,
Soft winds are signing:
We will be thoughtful, for autumn is near
Blossoms we CHERISHED
Have wither'd and perish'd,
Scenes which we smiled on are yellow aud
dear;
Feelings of sadness
O'ershadOw our gladness,
And make the mind thoughtful, for autumn is
near.
Thus all that is fairest,
And sweetest, and rarest,
Must shortly be serv'd, and call for tear;
Then let each emotion
Be warmed with devotion,
And we will be thoughtful, for autumn is near.

A LITERARY TAsTE.-To a young man
from home, friendless and forlorn, in great
city, the hours Of peril are those between
sunset and bed time for the moon and stars
see more evil in a single hour than the sun
in his whole days circuit. The poets
visions of evening are all composed of ten
der and soothing images. 1t brings the
wanderer to his home, and child to its
mothers arms, the OK to his stall, and the
weary laborer to his rest. But to the
gentle hearted youth, who is thrown upon
the rocks of pitiless city, and stands
homeless amid thousand homes" the ap-
proach Of evening brings with it an aching
sense of loneliness and desolation, which
comes down on the spirit like darkness up-
on the earth. In this mood, his best inn.
pulses become snare to him, and he is led
astray because he is social, affectionate
sympathetic, and warm-hearted. If there
be young man thus circumstanced within
the sound of my voice, let me say to him
that books are friends of the friendless. A
taste for reading will always carry you to
converse with men who will instruct you
by their wisdom and charm you by their
wit, who will soothe you when fretted,
refresh you when weary, counsel you when
perplexed, and sympathize with you at all
time. Evil spirits, in the middle ages, were
exercised and driven away by bell, book and
candle; you want but two Of these agents,
the book, and candle.-George S. Haliard.

The GREAT FUTURE.-Sometimes in
dark caves, men have gone to the edge of
unspeaking precipices, and wondering what
was the depth, have cast down fragments of
rock, and listened for the report of their fall,
that they might judge how deep their black
ness was; and lstening-still listening no
sound returns no sullen plash no clinking
strokes, as of rock against rock nothing
but silence, utter silence! And so l stand
upon the precipice of life. sound the
depths of the other world, with curious
inquiries. But from it comes no echo, and
no answer to my questions. No analogies
can grapple and bring up from the depths
of the darkness of the lost world the proba-
BILE truths: No philosophy has line and
plummet long enough to sound the depths.
There remains for US only the few authorita-
tive and solemn words OF God. These declare
that the bliss ofthe righteous is everlasting;
and with equal directness and simplicity
they declare that the doom of the wicked is
everlasting -Henry Ward Beecher.
