Who may try it, viii find that it does not color the
skin, but by stimulating the natural s~ecretions at the
roots, gives new life and strength to the Hair. and
thus restores it's color and freshness. 1t can be used

safety-it is composed of oil and stimulating spirits,
and as an article for the toilet, has no equal.

SEWING MACHINES. is THE Best -
The QUESTION AEswEBED.-There can be no
doubt that Wheeler * Wilson'S Sewing Machine
is the very best the market affords Everybody
says so, and the fact that large majority Of
people prefer il FIR family Seumg, while Dress
Makers, Shirt-MakeIs, Corset-hIakers, Cater
Filters, Shoe Binders. Vest.Malere, and Tailors.
all use it, aud insist that it has no equal for neir
purposes, clearly establishes the fact that il is
unequalled for the variety Of uses to which it is
adapted. The Wheeler Wilson Machines make
the lock stich Me only stitch that cannot be rapei
led, and that presents the same appearance on
both sides OF the seam--a fact of itself sufficient
to account for its having the highest premium
awarded it at all the State fairs held for the past
few years. No other than the lock stitch has
given such universal satisfaction, and our advice
is, if you want Sewing Machine that will do
your own family sewing in very superior aaiiuer
or if you wish to earn a livelihood by sewing for
others, do not get any other than II Wheeler 4
Wilson Machine, and you will then feel certain
that you have one that will give you the fullest
satisfaction. ~ J.. Dispatch.

STORY o. A srRAYEn nn1Lp.

Late last autumn, farmer, living near the
Adirondacks, in New York State, went out to
cut timber on the mountains, in a remote aud
solitary locality. lie took his son along with
him, little boy Of about four years of age
After having been employed for short time, lie
missed the child. who had been amusing himself
chasing kid which he found on the hill, and he
became alarmed lest he should have fallen into
one OF the many ravines, or stumbled over some
Of the rocks or preeipices with which the place
abounds. No trace Of the boy, however, could
be found. In vain did he call upon his name
for no answer was returned The anxieties Of
the father led him from place 10 place with the
utmost rapidty, sometimes finding the print of
bis sons little feet on the leaves, but be never
dreamed Of crossing a deep gorge which runs on
the south side Of the locality alluded to. down
the steep aud rocky side of the mountain to the
margin of the Hudson. Over this gorge be con-
ceiyed it impossible for child to make its way.
In the evening he found means to send to the
settlement an account of the circumstance, and
several humane persons, accompanied by the
distracted mother, came to aid his search for the
poor child in this wild and rocky region. One
Of them happening to cross over the gorge allud-
ed to- perceived there the impression of the boys
footsteps, and these were occasionally traced all
the way down to the margin Of The Hudson, where
they lost all trace Of the unfortunate little wan
derer, and we're filled with the most painful ap-
prehensions that he must have been carried of
by the stream.
Going along Its banks and crossing rayines
and sleeps, which they conceived it almost i'm
possible the child could have passed and climbed,
they again found the prints Of his naked feet on
the soft sand of n small riyulet; and, by apply.
ing measure which they had taken of the former
impression, they found it exactly to correspond
They were therefore induced still to 20 forward
though they now had proceeded upwards of foui
miles from the place OF their setting out and they
continued for the space of about another mile
accompanied by the anxious father and mother
without finding any further traces of the boy.
Night was now coming down on the forest and
as the search had now continued eleven hours
over rugged space of Eve miles, they though

the rest, on looking into the stream of the Hud-
son, found handkerchief round stone in th
channel of the river which he recognized to bt
that of the child, and had now little doubt tina
he would be found drowned near the place in tn
