A Mothers who are in the
habit of doing up the hair of their child
rem in papers to make it curl, and young
ladies who chiefly delight in "frizzing''
and making their heads look as big as a
half bushel, would do well to read and
prof. 10y the following upon this subject,
written by some one who knows whereof
he speaks -'Pstting up the hair of
children in curling papers breaks and
checks its growth often pulls it ou, at the
roots. Curling irons are fatal to the hair
of both children and grown persons.-rhe
heat saps up the juice out Of the fbres as
eifectually as fire or frost saps the vitality
of green branch, leaving it but dry,
witherei skeleton. The practice with
hair dressers of frizzng out the hair with
a comb, to make the most of it, is one of
the most cruel I'M uries that can be inf cted
on the living hair. The comb cuts it in
the act of frizzing it. You can test the
truth of this 10y combng out the hair after
it has been SO dressed. The hair sometimes
comes out by handiuls and, further, this
process tangles up the hair, and great
deal Of it is broken and pulled out in try
ing to comb it straight again."

Browns Hotel was closed, he was dry

and stumbled at the head Of the stairs
leading from the landing to the front door.
Down he came; heels over head, humping
from step to step, until he was landed in
a rather promiscuous looking heap. A
stranger, who was just entering the hotel
thinking the fellow had sustained serious,
if not mortal Injury, ran to pick him up,
but the drunken man majestically waved
him OF, staggered to his feet, and in re.
sponse to the prodered assistance, roared
out: "Now, you jes lev mo lone. Want
no slob'rn round me. IallMs come dorn

The doctrine of woman's equality is not
SO new AS many people suppose. A writer
n the lVatchman and Reflector says, that
soon after the american revolution, the
sister Of Richard Henry Lee, Of Virginia,
then widow, possessed of large landed
interests in Richmond, wrote a letter, still
preserved, in which, with the skill of an
advocate, she asked what became of tie
doctrine on which the colonies had con-
tended for independence, ''No taxation
without representation" if women paying
large taxes had no representation, while a
beardless boy, because he was male and
twenty-one, had controlling vote in gov

that there is nothing new under the sun,
