whose heads are covered with dandruff and

clear and healthy scalps. Bald-headed
veterans have their remaining locks tight
luxuriant growth of hair, and dance for
JOY. Young gentlemen use it because it is

"Wcll, L can't tell the story exactly;
but the tonguey man made it Ill out
clear. [ think hc said, too, that wool
wouldn't grow on our sheep unless
they was purtectcd."
S'Well, John, you don't mean that
they kiver our American sheep with
blankets to make their wool grow,
and that's the reason blankets are so
scarce and dear?''
''Well, / don't know about that;
but he made out that the Sheep must
be purtected to git the wool, and then
the men who made the wool into
blankets must be purtected; else we'd
have to use the cheap foreign blank
cts, and then, he said, we'd be worse
off,
''John, don'tyou think the tonguey
man was pulling some wool over your
eyes? If l could get two blankets
instead of one to keep the children
warm, the sheep could do well enough
with their natural kivering. 1t seems
to me that we poor folk, what don't
have any natural kiver of wool grow
ing on our backs, want purtection
more than the sheep"
"Well, that's just what Deacon
Wellof says; he says these high
prices purtect us as we'll as theshecp;
and you know the Deacon subscribes
good deal of money for the poor"
''That's all true, John; but then
the Deacon don't seem to get any
poorer for all he gives away; and the
Deacon has got good many sheep
of his own; and whatever is good for
his sheep must be good for the Dea-
cons own pocket; and they do say
that he owns part of big blanket
factory down in Rhode Island, and
so, maybe, the Deacon wrongs us
poor folk out of ten dollars and then
gives us back one dollar of it in cha
lty; maybe, if the poor had cheap
blankets and cheap clothes, they
wouldn't want any charity You can t
make me believe we're any better off
for having only one blanket, when,
If they were cheaper, we might have
two"
The parable of Dives and lazarus
might be useful reading for those who
are getting fat dividends from coal
mines and factories.

4 Bold Suggestion.

The following, from the Washing
ton Constitutional Unior, irrespective
of the merits of the suggestion, fear
fully illustrates the extremes to which
radicalism has brought the country:
For several years past, we have fire.
quently declared that the ultimate
object of the radicals was the disfran-
chising of all Democrats, and the en-
shaving of all men who did not agree
with them politically. Judging of
the future from the past, and from a
knowledge of the character of the
radical leaders and of the nature of
their pet theories, We clearly saw and
predicted this. Having reached a
point where they think they can
safely advance to this new position,
they are beginning to declare their
intentions. Every man who is a
Democrat will be disfranchised with
in ten years, unless radicalism is
checked
The question is how to check it. If
the traitorous fanatics of that party
persist much farther in their treason
able and nefarious designs, war will
be the result. But the Democratic
party, unheeding our repeated warn
ings for years past, has neglected to
organize and discipline its ranks.
eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty" and for some time past it
was simply vigilance to be armed and
prepared for the worst. Had the
Democratic party been regularly or
ganized, disciplined, armed and
ready to take the field at q moments
notice in defence of the Constitution,
radicalism would not have been half
as formidable, nor half as reckless.
To avert being reduced into q con-
dition of perfect slavery-perhaps
sold like negroes; certainly liable, as
we have been, to be imprisoned with
out cause, and murdered With process
of law-the Democratic party must
organize itself into an army, with the
discipline and drill of an army drawn
mp before the enemy! 1t is abso-
lutely necessary! If we do so at
once, we can save the Republic If
we do not, then farewell to all free
government.

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO AND NOW.

Fifteen years ago, HOSTETTER'S STO-
MACH BITTERS was struggling into no
tice against the prejudices which every
thing new, however excellent, is doomed
to encounter.
To-day, it stands at the head of all the
tonic and Alternative preparations in exist
ence. Its celebrity has evoked many imi-
tations, but no rivals. Physicians pro-
nounce it the only safe stimulaut that has
ever been introduced into the sick cham
Der. In the hospitals of the army and
navy, the surgeons find it the very best
tonic for convalescents, and report it as
invaluable for sustaining the vigor of
troops on the march, as remedy for
scurvy and all scorbutic affections, aud as
the only specific for sea-sickuess Califor-
MA and Australia have cmphatically en-
dorscd 1t as the Miners Medicine par er-
ceae'ace, and in Spanish America and all
The tropical climates, it is considered the
only reliable antidotc to epidemic fever.
There Is no mystery about the causes of
