The GRAET HAIR PRoDUcER.-Hair Oils,
Pomatums and Pomades have had their day
They belong to the musty past. Nobody that
understands the chemistry of the hair and the
philosophy of its growth thinks of using them.
Instead of cloggiDg the pores of the scalp with
thick onguents, and thus obstructing the in
sensible perspiration which is essential to the
health of the fibers, we now tone the surface of
the head with an invigorating application
which peneuates to the roots of the hair and
stimulates them in the same way that the fer
tlizing agents spread over the meadows slim
ulate the grass roots and cause the blades to
spring up in myriads, coating the earth with
verdure. The invigorant best adapted to this
purpose is LYoN's KATHAIRoN. 1t may well be
called the fertilizer Of the head. To the barren
scalp it communicates vegetative power. If
the hair is dropping out or becoming dry and
withered, it arrests the process of dilapidaton
blight. The hair thickens and becomes glossy
and flexible under its genial operation, and as
dressing it is unapproached by any prepara-
ton that has yet been laid on the toilet of
Fashion. oct13eodlw&w1t

And say, "Sir, desire
You go forthwith and search the hall
And bring me in the crier."

The tipstaff grayely said,
"The crier cannot cry to-day,
Because his wife is dead"
She always stood upon the steps,
just by the cottage door.

Each night home from the store.

Dancing in heavens own blue;

There are several ways of conducting now
a-days when one is rejected by sweetheart.
1t is tolerably fashionable to shoot her first
and then commit suicide. In these circum-
stances, however, there is always doubt as
to the effect of the shot; and it is mortifying
to have the mortality one-sided. Another
way is simply to shoot the lady, but this is
selfish and likely to be followed by unpleasant
consequences. Perhaps as good way as any
is that adopted by Henry Quackenbush, a
Hackensach youth of seventeen, who last
Friday visited his sweetheart, of about the
same age, exclaimed tragically, "Dost yet re-
cant"' and being answered no, shot himself
in her presence. He accomplished the thing
sojudiciously as to produce no fatal result
and he is now the rising star OF hackeh-
sack.
