Copy 0f Photograph from 4. A. Brocn, sh0eCing the effect .of STERLING'S AMBROS in sighteen months.
 CERTIFICATE.
 This is to certify that, about eighteen months ago, I commenced using STERLING s AMBRosIA. My hair was short, thin, and rap idly falling out. I had tried many Hair Ponies, Invigorators. &c.,, without receiving any benefit. Soon after using the Ambrosia my hair ceased falling out, and commenced growing so rapidly as to astonish me. Now my hair is thick, soft and glossy, and is five feet and four inches in length-when let down reaching to the floor. This wonderful result attribute solely to the use of STERLING s AMBRos1A, as since I commenced using it have applied nothing else to my hair.
 Mrs. L. A. BROWN,
 No. 439 Broadway, New York. We advise young persons, whose hair is be- ginning to fall out, to take warning in time, and save their hair, by using the Ambrosa To these who have already lost their hair. the free use of the Ambrosia will surely restore it. as 1t has done for thousands.
 pr. Sterling's Ambrosia is stimulating oily extract of Roots, Barks and Herbs. It will cure all diseases of the scalp, and itching of the head entirely eradicates dandruff, pre- vents the hair from falling out, or from turn ing prematurely gray, causing it to grow thick and long. It is entirely different from all other preparations, and can be relied on. It is well known fact to thousands in the city of New York that this is the only article yet discovered that will cure the Disease of the Scalp and cause the Hair to grow.
 Price $l per box, containing two bottles.

gave additional pleasure to the pleasant even

to tho good old songs of''Bonnic Blue Flag"
tho "Star Spanglol Ban ner," "Rcd, White
and Blue ell be gay and H%appyStill," and
others, sung by one of our rebels friends over
the way, Gagged in the Court House. But, alas,
that voice is now hushed. and the owner, at
the Urgent request Of Uncle Sam has taken a
trip North for the benefit of his health. No
doubt genuine repentance prompted the utter

feel the full force of the stanza:
