not the result Of credulity; it has not been
engendered by any human device, but is
the spontaneous and natural consequence
Of experience. What people see daily

phenomenon should be without its lesson ?
In like manner when 1t is seen that obsti-

The Great 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 It's growth
thinks of using them. Instead Of clogging
the pores of the scalp with thick onguents,
ana thus obstructing the insensible perspi-
ration which is essential 10 the health of
tho fbers, we now tone the surface of the
head with an Invieorating application which
peDetrates to the roots OF the hair and
stimulates them the same way that the
fertilizing agents spread over the meadows
stimulate the grass roots and cause the
blades to spring up in myriads, coating the
earth with verdure. The inyieorant best
adapted TO this purpose is LYONS KATHAI-
EoN. Il may well be called the fertilizer of
the head 10 the barren scalp it communi-
Gates vegetative power If the hair is
dropping out or becoming dry and withered.
it arrests the process of dilapidation or
blight. The hair thickens and becomes
glossy and flexible under its genial opera
tion, and q dressing it is unapproached
by any preparation that has yet been laid
ON The toilet Of fashion.

This exquisite ballad was published over
an anonymous signature In London paper: :
It's sailing L am at the dawn Of day.
To my brother that's over sts sea;
But it's little care for my lie anywh here,
For RS breathing ny heart will be.
But treasut5 fll take for.ould Ireland's
sake
That ZIP p.i5s all belonging above;
It's handfii q earth from the land o. my
birth
From the heart o. The land that love.
And won't the poor lad jn bis exile be glad
When he sees the brave present bring
And won't there be flowers from this treas
ure Of ours
In the warmth Of the beautiful spring.
Ocn! Erin Machree! though IFS partin' we
be,
Irs a bsessiu' I'll leave Oh your shore,
And your mountains aud streams, l will sec
IN my dreams,
Till ctoss to my country once more.

his reputation has suffered to the extent that
II will take ten thousand dollar green back

Miraculous Escape.

The American Standard Of Uniontowu.
Pa, contains the following: "Master VIII
liam Stanton, q lad about nine years Of age,
whose parents reside 10 Whs rton township,
was bitten by q rattlesnake, and made q
most mirac ulous escape from death. lie
was out in the field, but short distance
from home, and when crossing fence the
serpent struck him as he leaped to the
ground, and BIB blood being heated, the
poison moved with such celerity that in five
minutes after the bite be was totally blind,
and in ten minutes thereafter be began to
vomit and purge blood. Immediately the
foot began to swell, and turning black,
burst open In seven or eight places, from
which the blood oozed out continuously. The
blood seemed to stagnate throughout his
whole system and settle in spots ell over his
body. This continued for few hours,
when spasms set 10, after one of which be
seemed to be dead. The friends closed bis
eyes and arranged hts limbs preparatory to
laying out the body; but before this process
was completed they discovered signs Of life
and sent for doctor. The next day DR..
Boyd was summoned aud visited the patient.
He found him puseless at the whist aud
swelling aud blackness extending nearly to
the body on the affected limb, and the blood
still dripping from bis foot, whilst vomiting
continued at every attempt to raise bis
head. The doctor succeeded in a;restIng
