ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles 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 pasty sedl-
ment, it will keepit clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently 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

ROCK ME TO SLEEP.

("We remember reading an account of the
death of citizen patriot eighty five years of age
me last words OF the old veteran were want
to see my mother = She had been dead more
than forty years. This accident called to mind
the touching lines. Rock me to Sleep:'''1
" Backward, turn backward, O, Time in your
fight,
Make me a child again-just for tonight!
Mother come back from the echoless shore,
Take me again to your heart, of yore;
Kiss from my forehead the burrows of care,
Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleepi
l am weary of toll am weary of tears
Toll without recompense, tears all in vain
Take them and give me my childhood again
have grown weary of dust and decay,
Weary of hinging my soul-wealth away,
Weary of sowing for others to reap;
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleepi
"Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue!
Mother. o. mother. M y heart calls for youl
Many summer the grass has grown green,
Blossoming and faded, our faces between
Yet with strong yearning and passionate pain,
Long tonight for your presence again
Come from the silence so long and SO deep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
cover my heart in the days that flown,
No love like mother-love has shone;
No other worship abides and endures,
Faithful, unselfish, and patient, like yours;
None like mother can charm away pain
From the sorrowing soul and the world weary
brain;
Slumber' calm DER my weary lids creep,
Rock me to sleep, mother-roek me to sleep
'Come let your brown hair just lighted with gold,
Fall on your shoulders again as of old;
Let it fall over my forehead tonight,
Shielding my eyes from the 1iekering light,
For oh with its ny-edged sorrow once more,
HAPPY will throng the sweet vision of yore;
Lovingly, softly its bright pillows sweep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep
&c Mother, dear mother the years have been long
Since last was hushed by your lullaby song;
Sing, then, again-to my soul it shall seem
Womanhood's years have only been dream;
Clasp to your arms in a loving embrace,
With your soft, light lashes sweeping my face,
Never hereafter to wake or to weep;
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleepl''

the city a few days since, by three boys.
The Chinaman, who had been employed
for some time past as cook in the
boarding house at Cartwrights place,
was on his way to Eugene to buy some
clothing. On reaching the top of hill
about seven miles from his destination,
he was met by three boys, each boy
armed with gun, who demanded of the
Celestial one dollar apiece. The China
man being too slow in handing over the
amount demanded, one of the young
rascals "went through him." taking
three twenty dollar gold pieces and two
rings-one gold, and the other meer-
schaum-from his pockets. Persons in
the neighborhood are confident who the
guilty parties are, and think it will be an
easy matter to bring them to justice.
