 REPARATOR CAPILLI.
 For restoring hair upon bald heads (from whatever cause it may have fallen outl and forcing growth of hair upon the face, it has no equal. It will force the beard to grow up on the smoothest face in from five to eight weeks, or 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 are false, as thousands of hy- ing witnesses (from their own experience) can bear witness But many will say how are we to distinguish the genuine from the spurious! It certainly is difficult, as nine-tenths of the different Preparations advertised for the hair and beard are entirely worthless, and you all ready may have thrown away large amounts in their purchase. To such we would say, try the Reparator Capilli it will cost you nothing unless it fully comes up to our representations. If your Druggist does not keep it. send us one dollar and we will forward it, postpaid, to- gether with receipt for the money, which will be returned you on application, providing entire satisfaction is not given.

 Between the cradle and the shroud, life is but a meteors flight, cry between the silence that en- velops both our birth and death. The strongest light casts the deepest shadow-The dearest love makes the saddest loss A link in the chain of af- lection has been rudely snapped, and athwart the pleasant memories of the past shadow rests One from circle of dear friends beloved by all has sud denly passed away.
 We would indite no labored eulogy-no boastfu] and elaborate enumeration of moral perfections but simply offer the humble and unpretending tribute that friendship might claim for who, as adaugh- ter, was ever kind and dutiful; as wife, fond and devoted as mother, affectionate and watchful as friend, frank, sincere and constant. She leaves behind her host of sorrowing friends, who, while they mourn her early death, ''sorrow not as those without hope, The vital spark now apparently quenched shall yet rise superior to the wreck of matter, and wing it's way to that rest which sick ness and sorrow shall never invade-which no tear of misery, no sigh of memory, shall dwell but screened from the scOrn of cold world, and radi- ant with the halo of 8 Fathers love- it shall live through eternity. Her sickness was one of pro- tracted, and at times most intense suffering yet no murmur escaped her lips; she bore it all with a christian fortitude and submission, though cling ing to the delusive phantom of hope, but Provi- dence had otherwise ordained, and the "golden bowl" so much shattered was at last broken at the fountain''the silver cord was loosed," and calmly and peacefully her troubled spirit rested in the deep stiffness of that dreamless sleep that knows no waking joys again.
 "Calm be her sleep as the breast of the ocean
 When the sea is reclining upon it's still wave; She dreams not of life, nor it's stormy. commoton, For the surges of trouble recede from her grave. "Calm be her sleep! as the whisper of even
 When the hands have boon clasped and the knees
 bent in prayer, She has chanted her hymn at the portal of heaven, And found that perfection denied her hero.

D9- A new plan of reconstruction is about to be proposed by the President with the appreciation of prominent Southerners. It consists of series of amendments to the U. S. Constitution similar to those propos- ed by Congress except the section disquali- flying rebels from holding office, and of an amendment to the several state constitu- tions granting the suffrage to all males who can read and can write their names, or who own property to the amount of $25O. This is certainly great step in advance, but we notice there is no guaranty that Southern states when once admitted to representation will not repeal the enfranchising clause in their State Constitutions.
