False Hair Among the Ancients.

The Greek, Egyptian, Carthaginian, and
Roman ladies, more than twenty-five GEN.
turtles ago, made use of the most extrava-
giant quantities of borrowed hair, and they
wound it into large protuberances upon the
back of their heads, and to keep it in place
used "hair-pins of precisely the form in
use at the present time. The Roman wo-
men of the time of Augustus were espe-
cially pleased when they could Guido their
rivals in piling upon their heads the high
est tower Of borrowed locks. They also
arranged rows of curls formally around the
sides of the head, and often the very fash
ionable damsels would have pendent curls
in addition. An extensive commerce was
carried on in hair and after the conquest
of Gaul, blonde hair, such as was grown
upon the heads of German girls, became
fashionable at Rome, and many poor child
of the forest upon the banks of the Rhine
parted with her locks to adorn the wives
and daughters of the proud conquerors.-
The great Caesar, indeed, in most cruel
manner, cut off the hair of the vanquished
Guals, and sent it to the Roman market
for sale, and the cropped head was regarded
in the conquered provinces as badge of
slavery. To such a pitch of absurd extrav-
agance did the Roman ladies at one time
carry the business Of adjoining the hair,
that upon the introduction of Christianity,
in the first and second centuries the apos-
ties and fathers of the Church launched
severe invectives against the vanity and
frivolity of the practice. 1t must be con-
fessed, the ancient ladies did Guido their
modern sisters. The artistic professional
hairdressers of old Rome were employed at
exhorbitant prices to form the hair into
fanciful Devices such as harps, diadems,
wreaths emblems of public temples, and
conquered cities, or to plat it into an in
credible number of tresses, which were Of
ten heightened by ribbons SO as to reach to
the feet, and loaded with pearls and clasps
of gold.-Journal Of Chemistry.

"A good story was once tol dof connois-
seur in the fine arts, who said to a friend,
81 wish you would come up to my house
and see a picture have just purchased. l
wish you to give me your candid opinion
on it. A friend of mine, who thinks he's

tempted to knock him down! But you

Here was "freedom of opinion" with

Colonel McLane to the troops nnder his
command, before going into winter-quar-
tiers at Valley Forge. They were suffering
for provisions and clothing, and Congress
had been repeatedly petitioned for that re-
lief which is was not in their power to be-
stow. Under these circumstances, Colonel
McLane paraded his band of suffering SOL
diers, and haranged them as follows:
"Fellow soldiers! you have served your
country faithfully and truly. We have
fought hard fights together against a hard
enemy. You are in a bad way for COM
Portable clothes, and it almost makes me
cry to see you tracking your half-frozen
bloody feet on the cold, icy ground. But

volunteer for home" was to befound in
the ranks.

Jersey Lightning.
BY JOSH BILLINGS,

Who it was that invented alcohol 1 am
unable to tell without Icing; but it would
have bin fust klass blessing for the rest
of us if he and the Ticker had both ov them
been split on the ground and neither bin
supped up since.
The Devil himself, with all hiz genius
for ten strike, could not have rolled a
ball more serviceable for hiz bizness on
on earth. Rum IL the DEVILS stool pigeon,
hiz right bower, his high, low, Jack and
the game.
A CRATE menny, with dyspeptic morals
argy that licer is Indispensable for manu-
featuring and doctor purposes and they
hold that yu couldn't raise barn that
would stand without emmy good old jana
ka rum, and sum say that pudding sass,
without emmy speerits in it, IL no healthier
than common goose grease.
But all of these argys are furnished free
ov cost, by the Devil himself, and emmy
man who advances them liz telling without
knowing it, perhaps,) lies that will weigh,
at ruff estimate, at least a pound apiece.
But my object in these preliminary remarks
liz tew git good chance to tell what I
know about Jersey lightning" Zone ov
alchohors impsD as manufacturing and
metaphysical agent.
Jersey lightning il cider brandy, three
hours old, still-born, and quicker than a
flash. This juice is drunk raw by all the
old sports, and makes premonitory and
kissing noise az it winds down the thrut,
like an old shee goose setting on eggs, or a
hot iron stuck into ice water. Three horns
day of this Ticker will tan mans inte-
rior in six months, so that he can swallow
live, six-footed krab, feet fust and not
waste wink. 1t don't fat man (cider
brandy DON'T like whiskee duz, but puck
ers him up like fried potatoze. If man
can survive the fust three years of Jersey
lightning, he il safe then for the next rs
years tew cum, and keeps looking every
day more like three year old red pepper
pod, hotter and hotter. An old cider
brandy drinker will steam, in a sudden
shower of rain, like pile ov stable manure,
and his breath smell like a rum cask lately
emptyed.
When Jersey lightning il fust born it
tastes like bileing turpentine and cayenne
half and half, and will raize blood bis
ter on pair of old kowhide brogans in Is
minits and applied externally will cure the
rumatism or kill the patient, forget which.
The fust horn man takes ov this lickor
will make him think he has swallowed
gaslight, and will go out behind the barn
and try tew die but kant.
The more villainous the drink the more
inveterate are those who drink it. l kant
tell yer whether cider brandee will shorten
an old suckers days or not, for they gener-
ally outlive all the rest ov the neighbors,
and die just as soon as the old tavern
changes hands and IL opened on temperance
principals. One bottle ov sassafras or GIN
ger popp, IL az fatal tew these old fellers
az rifle ball il to bed bugg.
l would do almoste ennything but muir
der tew save young man from Jersey
lightning, but trieing tew to save an old
one il like trying tew put the fire out ev
holler log, yeu might az well let it burn up,
for the ashes is worth more than the logg.

Random Readings.

God thinks more of the good than Of the
influential.
To whom you betray your secret you be-
tray your liberty.
Men will wrangle for religion; write for
it; fight for it; die for it; anything but
live for it.
A guilty conscience is like whirlpool,
drawing in all to itself which would other
wise pass by.
Sorrows are like tempest clouds: when
afar of, they look black, but when above
us scarcely gray.
The greatest curse to ordinary Christians
would be to relieve them at once of all
earthly cares.
Religion is a personal business; and if
all the rest Of the world were to forsake
Christ, it would be our duty to follow him.
Great talent renders man famous; great
merit, respect; great learning, esteem; but
good breeding alone insures love and affec-
ton.
gloomy. What says the author of it to
his deciples9 "These things say unto
you, that your joy may be full"
They who doubt the truth of religion
because they can find no christian who is
perfect, might as we'll deny the existence
of the sun because it is not always noon
day.
If we would have powerful minds, we
must think; if we would have faithful
hearts, we must love; if we we would have
strong muscles, we must labor. These in
clude all that is valuable in life.
He who has struck his colors to the pow
er of an evil habit has surrendered himself
to the power of an enemy, bound by no
articles of faith, and from whom he can
expect only the vilest treatment.
1t is good thing to obey the law of God,
but it is a better thing to love it. The for
mer is to live new life, the latter is to
have a. new heart. A slave may obey
master whom he fears and hates, but the
child loves the laws of father.
A man who is young in years may be old
in hours, if he have lost no time; but that
happeneth rarely. Generally, youth is
like the first cogitations, not SO wise as
the second; for there is youth in thoughts
as well as in age; and yet the invention of
young men is more lively than that of old,
and imaginations stream into their minds
better, and, as it were, more divinely.
