ABRUPT, But SUGGEsTIvE.-A show
ily dressed woman, not bad looking,
recently entered a handsome store along
the promenade. She looked like the
wife of man who had suddenly made
money by army contracts. Her dress
was good, but the wearer evidently was
but lately accustomed to indulgence in
finery. She entered the principal de-
pot" OF a citizen, who among other
proprietary articles, is the inventor OF
a celebrated hair tonic. As she enter
ed, the proprietor was behind the
counter, matter rather rare for him,
and with his hat on his head. He
personally waited on her, asking, with
his best smile. "What can l show you,
ms'am?" "Why. your barr tonic.
"Here it is, ma'am"--producing bot
tie of the article. "Tbis is what makes
hair grow, does it?" Eyes, ma'am;
you'll find little pamphlet inside the
wrapper with many certificates from
people who have been bald" "Humph!
what's the price" ga dollar bottle,
ma'am--six bottles for FIVE dollars. -
you're certain it'll bring hair on?"--
at never fails unless the hair is de-
stroyed by disease" "Well, I've got
a bald spot on the top Of my head
I'd give FIVE hundred dollars to have it
covered again." Proprietor said he
had no doubt the tonic would accom-
plish the result, and the lady ordered a
/ half dozen to be sent to her house,
Proprietor took the address. As the
lady turned to leave the store, proprie-
tor removed his hat, showing head
whose crown was innocent Of covering

solemn, yet creditable fact:-
"If anybody thinks that when our

he greatly errs. An arm is shattered.

Of almost human suffering, but the
maDgled rider is dumb. The crash OF
musketry, the crack of rifles, the roar
Of guns, the shrek Of shells, the rebel

the voices of the battlefield"
