Old Ladies.

We take the following from 9
London paper, endorsing its senti.
ments to. the full:
"a pleasant, cheerful, lively, gen
erous, charitable-minde woman is
never old. Her heart is as young
at sixty or seventy as it was at
eighteen or twenty; and they who
are old at sixty or seventy are not
made old by time. They are made
old by the ravages OF passions and
feelings of an unsocial and ungen-
erous nature, which have cankered
their minds, wrinkled their spirits,
and withered their souls. They are
made old by envy, by jealousy, by
hatred, byisuspicions, by uncharita-
BILE feelings by slaadering, ill-bred
habits which if they avoid, they
preserve their youth to the very
last, so that the child shall die, as
the Scriptures say, a hundred years
DID, There are many old women
who pride themselves on being
eighteen or twenty. They carry all
the characteristics of age about
them, without even suspecting that
they are, old women. Nay, they
even laugh and sneer; and make
themselves merry with such mirth
as malice can enjoy, by sarcastic
reflections upon the age of others,
who may step in modesty between
them and admiration, or break
down the monopoly of attraction
which they have enjoyed for a sea-
son, either in Imagination OF real
ity. Pride is am old passion, and
vanity is gray as the mountains.
They, are sold women that have
much fof either They are dry,
heartless, duh, cold, indifferent.
They want the well-spring Of
youthful affection, whichs is always
cheerful, alwayssetive, always en-
gagged in some labor of love which
Is calculated to promote aud dis
tribute enjoyment, Old woman,
old lady, old grim face, old grippe,
or any other nickname with the
epithet old profxed to it, is as COM
monty applied by children to bad
tempered mothers, nurses or'aunts,
aspretty, kind, sweet, dear, and
other youthful epithets are .instinct-
lively applied to the good-humored
grandma with her wrinkled face.
There is an old age of the heart,
Which is possessed by many who
have no suspicion that,there is any
thing old about them; and there is
sayyouth which never grows old, a
Love who is eversa boy, a Psyche
who is.eyer girl"

AN ACCUMULATION OF SADNESS
Mr.. Payne, whose death is announ-

lady died on the 21st inst. And,
terrible torelate, while the bereaved
husband was attending the burial

furniture .-EgefSea Adrertiser.

now there are to be transferred else

and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all reruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker, and stronger. IN
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal yigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco

and gives the haira splendid, glossy

A UNIVERSAL ARTICLE OF Faith
In these days Of religious contention
it has been thought impossible to in
dicate an article eff faith upon which
all sects and classes are united. There
is one, however, and a very notable
one too, viz belief which is implicit
and universal in the paramount effica-
cy of that matchless household tonic
and recuperant, Plantation Bitters.
The constantly increasing patronage
which it receives has, it is true, excited
the petty. envy of certain splenetic
advertisers of pinchbeck panaceas,
who hope to make market for their
own ssagnant, watery wares, by de-
crying oil spirituous medicinal prepa-
rations. But the public can stomach
neither their arguments nor their po
tations, and consequently reject these
very weak limitations of the enemy as
entirely too thinl
