For restoring hair upon bald heads from what
ever cause it may have fallen ouO and forcing u
growth Of hair upon the lace, it has no equal. 1t
will force The beard TO grow upon thc smoothtst
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 falte, as
thousands Of living witnesses 0rom their own ex-
pcrience) can bear witness. But many will say,
how are TO distinguish the genuine from the
spurious? 1t certainly is difficult, as nine-tenhs

ueath. This will put the banks 70 their prep
aration for specie payment; and when il comes
in this legitimate way, it may be able to stay.
Congress will have to adopt plain and deci-
ded policy. There is but one rational and HON
est alternative. 1t is either to stop contrac-
ting Of the currency in order to pay the curren-
cy debt before making any approach to specie
payment Or to let Mr.. McCulloch 60 On with
his funding and contracting. For another in
fation is not to be thought Of. Any party that
should resort to the issue ct more notes. now
that the necessity of the national struggle is
over, ought to go 10 pieces. And the contrac-
ton ought to 60 on unless the funding is stop
ped. To permit the funding and forbid the
contracting, would be TO continue the evil Of An
inflated currency for its own sake. Any party
which believes that the issue Of redeenable
paper money is benefit in ITSELF is too ignor-
ant to be trusted with any government. But
whether Congress shall decide upon continuing
McCulloch's policy or continuing the currency
expansion to pay the currency debt, it should
put stop to his irregular and illegitimate ope-
r1tions upon market values. 1t is monstrous
that any man or any government should have
the power to raise or destroy the values Of the
property of the people. There have been such
treasury raids upon prices, and such frequent
and sudden changes in values on account Of
treasury operations, that the uncertainty has
greatly added to the depression that was insep-
arabic from other causes. Thus the evils Of
contraction have been multiplied in anticipation.
Gold should be left to find its level. and the
Government should be confined to its legitimate
business /"

Effective Preaching.

It is well for ministers to know how
they and their efforts are regarded by
intelligent and sensible men who occupy
the position of outside observers. Even
if they sometimes lack moral sympathy
with the gospel message and listen with
the critical mind instead of the prayer
full heart, they may indicate what is
needful in order to command that re-
spectful attention without which the pull
pit is sure to fail. The Nation has some
remarks on this subject that are entitled
to consideration. It says:
.Odd or rather startling themes are
chosen, and announced before in flaming
advertisements. Eccentricities of style
are deliberately assumed. Wit, such as
it is, is to relieve the WEAKNESS of the
nearer. A convulsive, boisterous elo-
cution is palmed off in the room of ear
nestness. An excessive and unnatural
vehemence, which is a fault Of Mr.. Bee
cher in certain passages of his discours
es, is copied by his feeble imitators. A
shrewd observer remarked, the other
day, that in order to make the fortune
of sermon nowadays, it is necessary
for the preacher to 'sholler" ut least once
/ in the course of it; once is enough, but
once at least he must bawl. Cases are
not unfrequent where vociferous deliv-
cry is accepted in lieu of intellectual
qualifications for the preachers Office;
in lieu Of method and of good sense.1
What is wanted, it is plain, is a living
earnestness to take the place of the spu-
rious and counterfeited earnestness
which can deceive only the ignorant
Eloquence is born Of deep and stirring
convictions; genuine itself, all it's pro
ducts are of necessity genuine. It can
afford to disdain every species of clap
trap. It is fame that communicates
itself and kindles all within its reach. It
goes forth with the speech of living
man, so that books are no substitute for
it. When preachers are truly earnest,
preaching is truly eloquent. It is then
q fresh and warm and enlivening utter
ance.
To say something, man must have
something to say. He must not deal in
vague generalities. He must not speak
out Of fuctuating and inconsistent moods
of opinion. He must not contradict
himself from week to week The preach
er must have not only faith, but a faith.
He must have beliefs in religion which
are capable Of being stated, which are
coherent, and which are held as some
thing sacred and vital to the welfare of
men. In this case he will speak with
authority; not the authority of an arbi-
trary or overbearing mind, but with the
authority that depends on insight and
assured conviction.
