There is a common, but false no
ton that frequent cutting Of the
hair is favorable to it's growth. Moth
ers thus often bespoil their infants
of their first silken locks, with the
idea that the second hair will be
much more rich and abundant. This
is an error. The most beautiful and
abounding heads of hair we ever
saw were those which the scissors
had never touched. Mothers not sat
isfied with trimming the hair of their
children, often have it shaved or cut
1t close to the scalp when they find
it is losing some of its brilliancy or
falling out. Except in rare cases OF
disease, the total sacrifice of the hair
is unnecessary, and the second
growth is never equal to the first.
Getting the hair trimmed from time
to time, may be allowed as matter
of convenience, but it does not pro.
duce the benefit generally attribu;
ted to il. it.-iExchange.

KEEP STA1eHT AHEAD.-Pay no
attention to slanderers or gossip.
mongers. Keep, straight on your
course, and let their baekbitings die
the death of neglect. What is the
use lying awake nights, brooding
over the remarks of some false friend,
that runs through your brain like
forked lightnings What's the use
of getting into worry and fret over
gossip that has been set afoat to
your disadvantage, by some meddle-
some busybody, who has more time
than character. These things can't
possibly injure you, unless, indeed,
YOU take notice Of them, and in
combating them, give them charac::
ter and standing. If what is said
about you is true, set yourself right
at once: if it is false, let it 60 for
what it will fetch. If a bee stings
vou. would you go to the hive, and
destroy it? Would not a thousand
come upon YOU? It is wisdom to
saw little respecting the injuries you
have received. We are generally
losers. in the end, if we stop to re-
fute all the backbitings and gossips
we may hear by the way. They are
annoying, it is true, but not darige-
rous so long as we do not stop to ex-
postulate and scold. Our characters
are formed and sustained by our;
selves, and by our own action and
purposes, and not by others. Let
us always bear in mind that "ca.
lumnators may usually be trusted to
time and the slow but steady justice
of public opinion.-[ Exchange.

THE GENEROUS SoLDIER.-1t hap
pened one evening in the days of
yore when the enemy were pillaging
the Danish country, that a battle
had been fought and won by the
Danes, and many killed and wound
ed lay on the field of battle. One of
these, an enemy, had lost both his
legs by shot. A Danish soldier,
standing near by, had just taken out
a bottle filed with beer, and was a.
bout to put it to his mouth, when the
badly wouned man asked him for a
drink. Ashe stopped to hand him the
bottle, the enemy discharged his pis-
tol at him, but the shot missed. The
soldier drew his bottle back again
drank half of it, and gave the re-
naming half to his enemy, only say
ing. "You rascal-now you will on
ly get half of it." The king, after
ward hearing of this, granted the
soldier and his descendants an ar
mortal bearing of nobility, on which
was painted half-filled bottle, in
memory of his deed.-[Hans Chris

Who Did it ?

Gen. ID. H. Hill insists that the
rebellion was suppressed by Sothern
men. His argument runs in this
way -" The first repulse was in
flicted at Mill Creek, by Thomas, of
Virginia. The first confidence in
spired in the demoralized army of
Bull Run, was owing to the general
ship of Ord, of Maryland, at Dranes-
vile. When two thirds of the Fede-
raj army had been scattered at
Chickamauga, Thomas of Virginia,
stood like a rock, against which the
waves dashed and fumed and fretted
in vain. Had it not been for the
stubborn resistance of this one man,
and he a Virginian, Chickamauga
would have been a complete Fede-
