WHAr CAUSES HAIR TO TURN Ora,

WHAT CAUSES HAIR TO TURN GRAY.
AN English writer has recently as
serted that an undue proportion of lime
in the system is the cause of premature
gray hair, and advises to avoid hard
water, either for drinking pure or when
converted into tea, coffee, or soup, be-
cause hard water is always impregna-
ted with lime. Hard water may be
softened by boiling it; let it become
cold. and then use it as a beverage. 1t
is also stated that a liquid that will
color the human hair black, and not
stain the skin, may be made by taking
one part bay rum, three parts of olive
oil, and one part OF good brandy, by
measure. The bair must be washed
with the mixture every morning, and
in short time the use of it will make
the hair beautiful black, without IN
juring it in the least. The articles
must be of the best quality, mixed IN
bottle. and always shaken wei before
being applied.

Tb;rt nf Il. Americans, and we are
al Americans who owe allegiance to
fba United States, in disregards Of
where YOU were born, that for the sole
interest of three hundred and sixty-five
thousand slave owners, that the welfare
Of eighteen millions of free white citi-
Gems of the nation, who are educated
In the moral and christian system of
industry and self-reliance, that their
every interest of Constitutional liberty
must be subverted to the exclusion of
their principle from the Territory and
the Union,- of as to support the few
shareholders in overriding the guaran-
tees of our common Constitution of the
aniofi of States.
Are we going to support this kind of
doctrine, or nots is the question Of to-
day.
Are we going to prostitute the Terri
tories of the United States to the curse
Of slavery when we can Coustitutionally
prevent it?
Are we going to consign the progeny
of eighteen million of free white citi-
zens to the station of mud ills in a
slave Territory, for the pro-slavery
aristocracy to build i'll gained fabrics
upon, BECAUSE they unconstitutionally
want us to do so?
/ hope and pray not. Never, we
never can, and be loyal to God and our
offspring
We do not want to disturb the slave
holder in the States where he is, we
want him and his negro to live together
in peace until they mutually agree on
their own plan Of emancipation, we
have nothing to do with it, nor should
we interfere, for they have Constitu-
tlof1al rights too. Let us give them their
rights peaceably and cheerfully and
friendly. But as we can legally restrict
slavery from the best precedent on
record, let us not sbmit by our suffrage
to another acre Of Territory being
prostituted to slavery.
This sham democratic household, re-
minds one as it has revealed itself fol-
the last sixteen years, of areligious
sect of the jews, by their creed they
forbid their followers eating the swine,
but in tho course of time some of the
priests found out they could eat Ger.
tain specified part. so in a short time
the different churches disagreed on the
particular part of the hog they should
eat, Notwithstanding, they were Of thu
same creed, so by their differing on the
specified portion, the churches of ont
city eat the whole hog. So with the
sham democratic party, with the liber
ties of the people from one Administra
ton to the other until James Buchanan
in his present Message on the Terri
tories has gone the whole hog, and tn,
Douglas platform made at Springfield
Illinois, on the 4th inst, has licked NJ
the off-alls where the creature wa
dressed, in saying "no man can b.
honest that goes to Charleston as
delegate to the National Convention
that will refuse to support its nominee,
when it is so apparent that a slave cod
plank for the Territories will be inserte
il their platform, to the utter annihila
ton of squatter sovereignty.

WIFE.-This good old Saxon word
(sOif) is, after ali, the dearest and most
sacred word in the whole vocabulary
of love. Around it clusters all that is
most beautiful, chaste and permanent
in the tender passion. Into whatever
forbidden paths the heart OF man may
wander, still it must return to the last
followed name Of soife for consolation
and rest Any other relation between
the sexes, however alluring to the I'M
agination, invaribly ends in wretched-
ness, in shame and degradation.

It is said .nat Judge Megrath, Of South caro-.
1inn, has ruled in the case Of Corrie, the ian.
derer, that it is not "piracy" under the act OF
1sao to transport Africans from Africa as slaves
to this country. but that it must be proved t!iat
the prisoner kidnapped them. If Judge Me-
geath'a view of the Law be correct. there is no
reason why the Slare.trade should not be car.
ried on from this moment as vigorously as it
has ever been, because no slave-trader can ever
have kidnapping proved against him. Others
kidnap, and he is but n receiver. Moreover, if
tue Slaye-trade be not piracy, the sooner it is
made piraey the better. It is not subject which
we eau afford to abstain from dealing with.
Even if we did not owe it TO our own dignity
and honor, to let the world know what ne think
of the transportation Of negroes TO our shores
By force, there are too many people interested
in reviring the "accursed trafic" to leave u
any room for hesitation five do not act, they
| will.

Can ANYBODY tell why, when Ere was manu-
facturcd from one Of Adams ribs, hired girl
wasn't made at the same time to wait on herr
Exchange.
We can, easy! Because Adam never came
whining to Eve with ragged stocking to be
darncd, collar-striug to be sewed on, or a
glove to be mended *'1ight away, quick, now !"
Because he uerer read the newspaper until the
sun got down behind the palm trees, and then
stretched himself, yasyning out, "Ain't supper
uost ready, my dear:" Not lie. lie made the
fire and hung over the tca;ket,le himself, veil
venture, aud pulled the radishes and peeled the
bananas, and did everything else that he d ought
to! lie mslked the COWS, and fed the chickens,
and looked after the pigs himself lie never
brought home half dozen friends to dinner.
when Eve hadn't any fresh pomegranates, and
the mango season was over! lie never stayed
out until eleven o'clock to "ward meeting,'
lurrahing for the out-and-out candidate, aud
then scolded because poor dear Eve was sitting
up and crsing inside the gates. To be snre, he
acted rather cowardly about apple gathering
time, but then that don't dcpreciate his genera
he1p!ulness about the garden! lie ne1er played
billiards, nor drove fast horses, nor choked Ert
with ci.ar smoke He never ioafed around cor
ner groceries while solitary Eve was rocking

| not think she was specially created for the pur
