AYERS
HAIR VIGOR,
For the Renovation of the Hair.
AYERS
The GREAT DEsmERATUM OF the Age.

A dressing which is at once agree
able, healthy, and efEectual for pre-
serving the hair. Faded or gray hair
IS soon restored 10 ITS original color,
and the gloss and freshness Of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Nothing
can restore the hair where the folli-
cles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness by
this application. Instead of fouling
the hair with a pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. It's occa-
sional use will prevent the hair from
turning gray or falling of, and conse-
quently prevent badness. Free from
those deleteriOus substances which
make some preparations dangerous
and injurious to the hair, the Vigor
can only benefit but not harm IT, IF
wanted merely for
Hair Dressin
nothing else can be found so desir-
able. Containing neither oil nor dye.
it does not soil white cambria. and
yet lasts longer on the hair. giving it
a rich glossy Iustre and a grateful
perfume.

HINTS TO Horse KEEPKRs.-
Never feed grain or give water to
a horse when warm from exercise.
Sweat is not always a sign of
warmth; place the hand on the
chest for test. Water given after
a meal is safer than to give it be-
fore.
Never drive fast or draw them
hard Immediately after giving them
food or drink. s
Never drive faster than a walk
with heavy loads,
Do not let horses stand long in
the stable at any time Of the year,
without exercising. p
Feed regularly, and in quantity
according to the appetite of the
animal and the labor it performs.
Do not drive or work long in
storms. .-. .u..a.... ...- ..
Do not let the horses stand IN
the stables cased in boots of dried
mud, and coats of matted hair.
Groom them. ........
At all times Of the year make
your horses comfortable when tied
in the stable. They cannot help
themselves there. '#o H".a"a s...-
Learn your horses to trust and
have confidence in you, rather than
fear.

Popular SupeFstitiOns.

Some curious sayings and popu-
lar customs seem eminentiy alb
surd and inexplicable; but many
Of those sayings which are CON
sidered unmeaning superstitions,
particularly as to good or Ill luck,
admit of a rational explanation,
and are frequently the means of
their own fulfllment. The obser-
walton of mankind has shown GER
tain events to have followed certain
other events between which there
is no obvious analogy, The old
man told the commissioner that
Tenterden steep1e was the cause of
the Goodwin Sands, because the
eruption of the sea took place inn
mediately after the building the
tower there. Everybody laughed !;
but the commissioners on inquiry
found that the monks of Tenterden
were bound to keep. up a. certain
portion of the sea-wal; that they
had impoverished themselves, by
blilding, and had neglected to
maintain this barrier against the
waves, and thus Indirectly the
building the steeple aoaa the cause
of the Goodwin Sands. ~. ras4r.n
(. We viii 9ndeavor to elueidate O
few of these customs and sayings.
Some are known, though perhaps
not in their present form !; Others
are quite new to us, To begin
then with what is called " luck, "
which depends much more, on per-
ssonal sel-possession and conduct
than many think. The. want of
nerve, or of temper--whioh is often
more important--is frequently be-
'trayed by some little incident
rather than by some important and
decided act while the. good re-
suits which follow q genial or So
scial bearing are seldom immediate,
but bear their fruits frequently at
q future time. Thus, the old story

Now AND THEN.-The New York
Sun paper reproduces an anecdote
concerning Gen. Grant, now going
the "grand rounds" whereTl the
General is represented as meeting,
at one of his recent receptions, a
Western lady known to him in his
days of obsolrity. The story has
it that Grant reminded the lady of
the fact that he used, many years
ago, to fetch /" wood ia cart to
her husbands house, and would
then 60 to the gentleman's office
and receive the pay therefor.
Upon this the New York paper
adds it's own little fund oil ana as
follows:

verses, each of which is supposed
to have mystical reference to

actually been apprenticed to a

is easy to understand why this also
is considered bad omen. ar.. rng
1T is unlucky for a funeral to

| pace at which these professions
proceed, a man must be very lazy
indeed to let them get before him.
It is unlucky for a bride about
to GO. to the church to look in the
glass after she is completely
dressed.-In the, South, of England
the greatest care is taken to put on
a glove or some other article after
the last look has been taken In the
mirror. The probability is that

pletes one of these without assist

Patchwork is generally made a so
cial occupation, and a person must
move very little in society, or be of
unsocial temper, to do such a thing
alone.
The lady who reads the marriage
service entirely through will never
be married. Those who are too
anxious to wed, frequently die old
maids. So"
While ON this subject, let us
record these customs:
Throwing the old shoe.-This is
a wen-known English custom, but
in Kent it is done thus one of the
bridesmen throws the shoe, the
bridesmaids run after it, believing
that the one who gets it will be
first, She then throws it
among the men, and it is supposed
the one who is hit viii also be mar
ried before the others. The lady
aims at him she likes
best, which is one step toward the
