But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi- ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent badness.

On Mourning Costume.

1t is II matter of education. In so far as high
colors have come to signify gayety and pleasure,
there may be good reason for dismissing them
If one would mark ones grief, why not by the
color chosen by the Bible to express spiritual
things? White signifies purity, triumph, spiritual
gladness and this ought not to be uncongena
to the moods of Christian grief
1t is not the custom of our people to symbol
ize their feelings by change or dress, with this
solitary exception. If q man becomes bankrupt,
or has his house burned down, or loses heavily
in commercial operations, or has Il son in dis
grace or child msled by evil company, OF any
other experience of grief, he does not change
his garb. The one solitary and exceptional
case is bereavement But there is i'll domestic
sorrow delicacy, OF ought TO be, which should
shrink from an osentatiousness such as mourn
ing apparel cannot fail to have. No one has
right 80 to express his sorrows rs to intrude them
upon every eye wherever he goes. Custom has
long justified it, otherwise it would be esteemed
an indelicacy for one to be q walking advertise
nent of ones own private griets But even if
one were permitted to announce this one side
of domestic experience by change of garb, the
question still remains whether expression should
be given to the weakness of nature feeling or the
triumph of Christian faith Whether we should
symbolic the darkness of the grave as unen-
lightened nature shows it, OF the grave made
LUMINOUS ny INC triumph vi ouT saviour ana
the glories of Immortality beyond it ? We may
be sure there is something wrong in Christian
community where death is surrounded with
associations of terror, where the young are
reared to horror of the sepulcher, where present
grief rises up like dark cloud and shuts out the
heaven, wherein sermon, service, conversation,
and dress-everything conspires to shroud death
and the grave with darkness. Has sorrow
right to be selfish May it bear false witness
against Immortality Has Christian under
bereavment right to declare by his conduct,
"There is no light in the grave, none beyond it,
and no comfort for the bereaved but only black,
black sorrow ~ never meet one mutfled in
black from head to foot without certain hor-
ror. The smell of Grape is to me like the smell
OF charnel-house. Did it ever occur to mourn
ers to ask, What ifthose for whom grieve were
to speak to me out of their blisstul abode in
hcavcn-would it be their choice that i should
be shroudcd like one in despair, or robed as one
who D,o,rns, but with Christian hope!

A Democratic Opinion of Meth
cd ism.

The Democracy through their widest
spread journal, the La Crosse Democrat,
sendeth greetings to the Methodists of the
country. The occasion was the assembling
of the Quadrennial Conference at Chicago.
The infamous document reads as iollows:-
There is now in session in the city of Chi
cago, nondescrlpt, black and tan, rump
Radical, politico- religious mob, known as
the Quadrennial Conference of the Metho,
Church. 1t is convened nominally in the
interests of the Methodist denomination,
but really in the interests of the mongrel
party, and with an eye to the interests of
dist. 1t will remain in session until after the
Chicago Convention, and will add its nasal
whine to the chorus of damnable discords
that will hail the nomination of the azure
backed butcher. 1t is engineered by the
infamous Simpson, Methodist Bishop of
Philadelphia, who, in collision with Gen.
Howard, the other reverend ruffin of the
Freedmen's Bureau, took possession OF
twelve hundred churches belonging to the
Methodist Church South and turned them
over to the niggers and convict preachers Of
the North.

alton for the political machine.

A SPRING DAY.
Ely REV. SAMUEL DUFFlELD.

Methinks | worshiped God to-day
After my own especial way,
For all the air with the early bloom
Was laden, and Natures busy loom
Had shifted its pattern into lines
OF long green tendrils and twining vines.
The branches uuivered with leaves anew;
The springing blossoms had broken through {;
And over the road and apple bough
Had faxed them off like a storm Just now.
The Sabbath stiffness had crept all across
Under the woods and on the moss;
The quiet light of the sunset came,
Bearing message still the same.
A bird that twittered above my head
Sang of the Father daily bread.
I felt cool grasses beneath my feet,
And snelt the volets faint and sweet;
And each replied as it best could tell
OF the hand which had made and clothed it
well.
may have dreamed, but it seemed to me
That heard the same from a loaded bee
And even the rustic of the woods
Spoke of those painless solitudes
Where the same hand, by day ana night,
Labors, and fashions, and plans Alright.
And so with the rest sang my song
Of Him unto whom we all belong;
And my heart, though once it was darl; with
doubt,
Turned the old shapes OF darkness out.
For felt that the Lord of the world, who
kept
Watch of His work while others slept,
Would surely scatter abroad in me
The seeds for His own eternity
Would gather aad garner from all my deeds
Some little wheat ont Of many weeds.
And whether praised him we'll or no
] cannot tell but sudden glow
Struck to my soul as though One divine
Laid His pierced hand in this hand of mine.
Tioga, May 10Th, 1868.
