How To TAKE CARE OF TIRE HAlR.-As
TO men, we say, when the hair begins 10
fall out. the best plan is TO have it cut
short. give it good brushing with mod :
eraely stiff brush. while the hair is dry !:
then wash i ii well with warm soap spds ::
then rub into the calp. Ibont the roots of
the hs-'r' a little bay rum. brandy, or cam
phor water. Do these things twice a
month the brushing of the scalp nav be
proiiIably done twice a week. Damp the
hair with water every time the toilet is
made. Nothing ever made Is better for
the hair than soft water. IL the scalp is kept
clean In the way we have named. Tho
use OF oils or pometums. or grease of any
kind. is ruinous TO the hair of man or wo-
man. We consider il filthy practice. al :
most universal though it be. for il gathers
dust and dirt. and soils whatever il touch
es. Nothing but pure soft water should
ever be allowed on the heads Of children.
1t is a different practice that robs our
women of their most beautiful ornament
long before their prime tho hair of our
daughters should be kept within two inch
es until their twelfil. year. .-HoHs Journol

We have information from two gentle
men of character. whose sympathies with
the cause of the Union We know to be en-
tire y reliable, one of whom is Just from

immediate vicinity of Leesburg The for

The gentlemen further says that there
is an aggregate force Of 10000 troops at
Manassas Junction. Centerville. Fairfax
Station and Fairfax Court House.
This information, though differing
widely from that received by The govern
ment here, comes TO us under circumstan-
ces that cause us to place some reliance in
it.
Our Informant from Leesburg assures us
that on Sunday morning last durinc divine

ordered tie people there assembled to be

morning. (last) with all their wagons and
teams, to move the materials of tie troops

On that day, we believe. 1000 of those
troops moved up the Potomac TO point
opposite Williamsport.
The troops at IIarper's Ferry know to be al
most entirely deficient in army trar sportation, hav
ing arrived there in comparatively small bodies, by
railroad, and having but sufficient of other trans

Only little while, darling

As they near the home above.

Though many and bright are the stars that appear

And the stripes that are swelling in majesty there
Like rainbow adjoining the world
Their lights are unsullied as those in the sky,
By deed that our Fathers have done
And they're leagued in true and as holy tie,
In their motto of "Many in One
From the hour when those patriots fearlessly aung
That banner of starlight abroad
Ever true to themselves, TO that lotto they cluug
As they clung to the promise of God;
By the bayonet traced at the midnight of war,
On the field where our glory was won;
Oh perish the heart. or the hand that would mar
Our motto of "Many in One
Mid the smoke of the contest the cannons deep roa
How oft it had gather'd renown
While those stars were reflected in rivers of gore
When the cross and the lion went down;
And though few their lights in the gloom OF
that hour
Yet the hearts that were striking below
Had God for their bulwark and truth for their
pow'r,
And they stopp'd not to number the foe.
From where our green mountain tops blend with
the sky,
And the giant st. Lawrence is rol'd,
To the waves where the balmy Hesperides lie,
Like the dream of some prophet of old j;
They conquer'd-and dying. bequeathd to our
Not this boundless dominion alone-
But that banner, whose lovelness hallows the air,
And their motto of "A1any in One.'
We are many in one, while there glitters a star
In the blue of the heavens above
And tyrs nts shall quail mid their dungeors afar.
When they gaze on that MOTTO of owe
1t shall CLEAN Ger the sea, mid the bolts of the

Over tempest, and battle. and wreck
And fame where guns with their thunder

Meath the blood on the slippery deck.
The Oppressed of the earth to that standard shall

Whereverits folds shall be spread
And the exile shall feel It's his own native sky,
Where its stars shall float over his head.
And those stars shall increase till the fulness Of

Till the work. shall have welcomed its mission

And the nations of earth shall be one
Though the old Allegheny may tower to Heaven.
And the Father of waters divide,
The links of our destiny cannot be riven
While the truth of these words shall abide
Then oh. let them glow each helmet and brand
Thougl our BLOOD like our rivers, shall run;
Divide as We may IN our own native land,
To the rest of the world we are one
Then up with our hlg = let it stream on the air
Though our fathers cold in their graves;
They had hands that could strike, they had souls

And their sons were not born to be slaves
