Destructive of comfort and a OF worth fig;

And rejoice in your own 1uxuriant hair.
REPARATOR CAPILLI.
For restoring hair upon bald heads from what
ever cause it may have fallen QUIT and forcing q
growth of hair upon the face, it has no equal. 1t
viii force the beard to grow upon the smoothest
face in from five to eight weeks, hair upon
bald heads in from two to three months. A few
ignorant practitioners have asserted that there is
nothing that will force or hasten the growth of
the hair or beard. Their assertions false, as
thousands of living witnesses from their own ex-
perience) can bear witness. But many viii say,
how are we to distinguish the genuine from the
spurious? 1t certainly is difficult, nine-tenths
of the different preparations advertised for the
hair and beard are entirely worthless, and you
may have already thrown away large amounts in
their purchase. To such we would say, try the
Reparator Capilli; it win cost you nothing
less it fully comes up to our representations. If
your druggist does not keep it send US one dollar
and We will forward it, post paid, together with
receipt FOR the money, which win be returned you
ON application, providing entire satisfaction is

The Warrenton Courier gives sad pic
ture of the religious condition of the negroes
of that county. It says:
1.-The religious excitement amongst the
colored people in some parts Of the county
exceeds anything that we have ever heard
Of in any civilized country. We beg the
pardon Of our readers, for we believe we
have used misnomer, in calling superstitious
nonsense religious excitement Not more
than ten miles from this place there are ne
groes representing themselves as Christ,
prophets and prophetesses. They pretend
to raise the dead, heal the sick and divine
human events. Many converts have been
made, who are scrupulous in their worship
as the Hindoos them selves.

VALUE OF SOUTHERN PRoDUcrs. From
the monthly report Of the Director of the
Bureau of Statistics, we learn that the exports
from the United States in the first quarter of
the present year. were about one hundred
and thirty-three millions of dollars worth
and that of this amount the Southern States
furnished ninety-two millions. This is a
surprising record. for it shows that these
States contributed 70 per cent. Of the whole
of our exports for the time mentioned. Upon
the amount Of our exports depend, it must
be recollected, the amount of our customs
revenues; and in this statement we see the
proportion which the industry Of these States
pays to the revenue North Carolina Pres

BIZ THE AUTHOR or THE CONQUERED BANNER.
Young as the youngest who donned the Gray,
True as the Truest that wore it
Brave the Bravest, he marched away,
Hot tears on the cheeks Of his mother lay,l
Triumphant waved our Flag one day,
He fell in the front before it.
Firm as the firmest where duty led,
He hurried without falter-
Bold as the Boldest, he fought and bled,
And the day was won-but the field was red,
And the blood of his fresh, young heart was shed
On his country's hallowed altar.
On the trampled breast of the battle plain,
Where the foremost ranks had wrestled-
On his pale, pure face, not mark Of pain,
Ills mother dreams they will meet again,)
The farest form amid all the slain,
Like child asleep-he nestled.
In the solemn shades of the woods that swept
The field where his comrades found him
They buried him there-and the big tears crept
Into strong mems eyes that had seldom wept,
Ills mother, God pity her smiled and slept,
Dreaming her arms were around him.

The Sabbath.

Welcome sweet day of rest ? No books
to post, no orders to fill, no projects to think
over, no politics to discuss-none Of the
thousand wcarying tcmper-trylng, heart
worring cares Of the everyday world, to-
day One day Of quiet and tranquility
'.emblem of eternal rest"
How sweetly comes the peace Of the Sab
bath morning, after the tolls and agltatlons
Of the week! Balmy as odors OF orient
spicy groves; gently as the breath Of sleep
ing Infants, or the dying winds Of evening!
pure as the incense that rises before the
throne of God, comes the calm Of this holy
morning ''day Of all the week the best. =
It is the day of home-home hushed and
quiet, home peaceful and full of comfort
To day the father is at home, and the mother
with brow free from weekday cares, sits
beside him; and memories of Sabbaths in
the by gone time, when sly love made the
day Of repose time of joy, come back IN all
their pleasantness Father is at home, and
the little ones hang at his knee, telling their
Joys and troubles Of the past week, and re-
joicing that for whole day he will be their
company, and lavish upon them, uninter-
ruptedly, his loving words and smiles.
Aye, pure, sweet and holy IS the day Of
rest in the family; butts all too brief
transient as the outline Of the slavery vapor
that floats on the summer sky-for the rush
and turmoil of the troubling world will come
back on tomorrow. Let not that thought
mar the gentle joy Of this sweet day /; re-
member, rather, there is a ''home" whose
peace is never interrupted, whose Joy is nev-
or broken, whose repose breads no to-mor-
row, and that part Of the privileges and
happiness of to-day is to secure place IN
that family whose circle is united forever
more, in our Fathers home on high.

THE VALLEY oE DEArH.-A real valley
of death exists in Java It is termed the
valley of Poison" and is filled to a con-
siderable height with carbonic acid gas, which
is exhaled from crevices in the ground. fla
man, or any animal, enter it, he cannot re-
turn; and he is not sensible of his danger
until he feels himself sinking under the pois-
onous influence Of the atmosphere which sur
rounds him, the carbonic acid of which it
chiefly consists, rising to the height of eigh-
teen feet from the bottom of the Valley
Birds flying into this atmosphere drop down
dead, and living fowl thrown into it dies
before it reaches the bottom, which is strewn
with the carcasses of various animals which
have persisted in this deleterous gas.

A SPECIFIC The medical profession are
generally severe on specifics, yet sometimes
recommend them. The London Scalpel, the
his CHEST medical authority in the world, gives
the following as an infallble cure for small
pox and scarlet-feyer: Sulphate of zinc, one
grain; foxglove (4gitazts.) one grain ; half
a teaspoonful of sugar: mix with two tea
spoonsful of water. Take spoonful every
hour. Either disease will disappear in
twelve hours. For child, smaller doses
according to age. 1t states that ifcountres
will compel their doctors to use this there
would be no need Of pest houses.

gallons.
The writer estimates that the produce of
wheat in California this year is twenty-five
bushels to each inhabitant, while that of the
western Cor Ohio and Mississippi States is
only ten bushels, except Illinois, which is
fourteen bushels. He gives glowing &C
count of the adaptability Of the climate and
soil to the cultivation of the grape and of
silk. The mulberry fourishes there as it
does hardly anywhere else, and the worm is
altogether free from the diseases so destruc-
tive to it in other countries. The Matching
of worms is effected without artificial heat,
and the chrysalis is stiAed by the sun with
out the necessity Of resorting to baking in
ovens, which so impairs the life and bril-
l;ancy Of the silk.
California for gold country, is. indeed,
a wonderful land for its agricultural resour-
ces, for graid, fruit, and vegetables. They
are all exceedingly abundant, and on the
mammoth order.

are worth preserving:
Save your suds for garden plants, or for

Wash your tea-trays with cold suds, pol
ish with little -four and rub with dry
cloth.
Frozen potatoes make more starch than
