The old man was sorely grieved in
consequence of the position which he oc.
cupied. Yet, though his sympathy for
Robbie was strong enough to absorb every
other feeling and impulse of his heart,
the old servants sense of obligation and
gratitude to Lady Anna prevented him
from doing anything himself which would
in any degree compromise his word.
However, as in the first instance of his
encouragement ofthe boy's disobedence,
he did not feel that he was wronging his
conscience in securing the assistance of
another to bring about that which he 80
earnestly desired but could not aid in
effecting. arsr

Young folks met on the road between
Tsndauk and the village, and passed the
first happy hour together in those long,
weary weeks since the last parting in the
boat. There was something so touching
in the tenderness and sincerity of their
childish affection, that one who did moi
set worldly considerations before all
others could not but be pleased at sight
Of such true happiness.

LITTLE BLOSSOM.
By FAUsTINE

WHES my aunt leit Dora with the parting cry OF
Good night. Little Blossom" I sat down at ny
desk alone, aud cried to think, o what fstal name
1t vas, and how the blossom withered in its bloom
upon the tree l-Dagid CopPsg5sld, CHAP. IS.
With the raging tempest shriekiRG like demon at
the pane,
Sit in my lonely chamber, listening to the falling
RAIN
Twlning Gsndly round my fingers one soft curl of vel
low hair.
While the angel OF the Past brings mem'ries that
scarce can bear.
And seem 10 feel the pressure Of soft arms around
my neck
On nv shoulder rests the head this golden curl was
Once again her balmy kisses fall upon my lips and
brow
While close my eyes, and fancy her bright form be-
fore me now.
Seem to hesr her merry laughter ringing through tie
silent room.
Piercing with its silver cadccc, all the Over7hadoW-
ing gloom
Seem to near her fitting football dancing O'er the
tuited floor.
Feel her dainty 6ng.r- casping mine as in the days
Of yorc;
See her azure cyes upllftod. az she rests upon my
breast.
Ncstllng closely in my arms, like some sweet bird
within IFS nest.
e-erry check her breath is waited, zweeter than the
breath of flowers,
And think no airer blossom ever bloomcd in earth
ly bowers.
Bat the raging Of the tempest wakes me from my
happy dream,
And see no dainty maiden in the frelighta golden
CLEAN
No sweet voice is making music, there's no football
on-the floor,
And ylstening ear is greeted by the oceans sullen
roar.
Nothing have of the vision, save the golden tress
Of hair,
One wee, vioetsceuted glove, slipper fit for faiys
wear,
Letters written ere we welded, filled With words Of
tender trust
Of the loving hand that penned them nothing now is
left but dust,
Long agOI saw her eyelids droop above the weary
As her gentle spirit fitted to its homo beyond the
skies;
Saw the wazen fingers claspng lilies Ger the pulse
less heart,
As she lay within her coffin, like some mstchless
work Of art
her. my little chrdwife, to her quiet rest
ingplace,
Saw her laid among the blossoms looked ny last up
on her face
From the sky the sun seemed blotted as turned my
step. away

lay.
Many times the snow has drfcd round the little mar
bic cross.
Many times the scarlet leaves have fallen Ger the
dewy moss;
Many times the sweet. sweet birds have GOwn away
across the deep,
Since laid my Little Blossom down among the flow
ers to sleep.

With pleasure we read your commendatOry article
published short time since, respecting the popular
and almost indispensable Prperation now so wide
ly known as "Barrctt's Vegetable Hair Restorative.
Having used this preparation eversince its discove
ry we feel more than ordinary interest in its
cess and are pleased to learn that it is generally used
and appreciated throughout the entire country. IN
like most of the dirty sticky, pasty ynOsrums put up
and sold as Hair RcstOratycs and dressings, this
compound not only completely restores the hair to
its original color, hut surpasses all others in many
important points. We have studied its effects as
compared with otherz, and find its superiority lies
chiefly in the following accomplishments:
FRsT-it is sure to restore the hair to its youthful
beauty, producing one distinct shade while others
leave the hair in many varied Colors.
second-When restored, the color is made fast, and
the hair docs fade into its former dscOorcd ap
pearance.
Third-It promotes growth when others fail TO re-
produce a single hair.
Fourth-It acts directly upon the roots and not as
dye.
Fifh-It cures all diseases Of the scalp and removes
dIudruT and halr-eaters
sixth-Being Vegetable compound it is perfectly
harmless.
sovcnth--It s highly pcrrumoL aud free rom all
dirty and gImmy substances.
In recent article published by the propristors OF
tits perfect Preparation, VIC are glad to observe u
synopsis of lis history, and Craded to learn that
the extensive sale it is now having will in s0me de-
gree reward Mr. Barrett for the labor and study so
faithfully bestowed by him In making compound 10
reach the exact wants Of the public. Nothing bat
merit coIld ever have given this Preparation the
reputation it now enjoys Mr. Barrett is a native Of
New Hamdshire, and we'll known as being the origi-
nal dlscoverer and manufacturer Of the Vegetable
Hair Restorotive, all others put mp in a similar
manner being worthless mutations and the public
should exercise great care how they tampsr with
them.
Improvements IN capillary adornmeuts IN this age
OF vinlty aud pride have become as much considera
ton and Importance as the dicovery Of any new sci
encs or mechanical Invention. We steady admir-
ers of distinguished inventors, and hope that Bar
retts Vegetable Hair Restorative" may trlumphantly
spread lts Glme, and merit meet with its reward
