A N ISLAND 10 miles from Portland and two
IA miles from main land, containing about 40
acres together with the buildings thereon consisting
of new Dwelling House, Barn. Sheds, and Fish

muck abundant. The harbor is good and in close
proximity to good fishing grounds which with several
markets near at hand make it chance to carry

This is an age Of inquiry and people are
beginning to realize the magnitude Of the
evil caused by the use Of injurious compounds
Tor the hair which are prepared and forced
into market, by men who are not practical
physicians, and who may not be aware Of the
injury they are producing. These prepare
lions have been analysed by competent chem
lists, and shown to contain poisonous sub
stances, causing Nervousness, Headache, Par
alysis, and often fatal results.
In contrast with such injurious articles, we
call attention to the Hair Restorer prepared
by DR.. r. Greene, Superintendent of the Bos-
ton Medical Institute, who has been sue
eessful physician in Boston for more than
quarter of century. Dr. Greene uses Veg
etable Remedies only, and can assure the pub
lie that this Hair Restorer will do all that is
claimed for it, without possibility Of injury.
"Ihare tested sample Of DR.. Greene's Hair
Re'torer, and find that no poisonous metals or
Injurious matters ezist in IL.
C. r. JACKSON, State Assdyer."
The use of this Hair Restorcr for twenty
five years has tested its superiority as a dress
ing, and its power to preserve the hair and
scalp in healthy condition. It removes
dandruff, prevents the hair from falling off,
preserves its natural color, restores it when
prematurely gray, renders it soft and glossy,
promotes its healthy growth, and is the best
dressing ever discovered While other prep
nrations are sold Mt almost any price, DR..
Greenc's Hair Restorer has sustained its good
qualities, its price, and its reputation. 1t is
prepared by DR.. Il. Greene at the Medical In
stitute, "a Temple Place, Boston, and sold at
81 per bottle, or six for So, or sent by ex-
press to any part of the country. Pamphlet

GLOW do they make gas ?"
"Fitst they put about two bushels of btu
minous coal in a long ar-tight iron retor.
This retort is heated red hot, and, of course,
the coal is heated red hot when the gas
bursts out of it, as you see it burst out of
soft coal when on the parlor fire. The gas
passes Off through pipes. A ton of coal will
make 10000 cubic feet Of gas. The gas as it
leaves the coal is very impure"
GLOW do they purify it?"
"First. while hot, IL is run oil into anoth-
or building; then it is forced through long
perpendicular pipes, surrounded with cold
water. This cools the gas, when n good
deal of tar condeuscs from il and runs
down to the bottom of the pipes. This tar
is the ordinary tar which you SEQ boiling
in the streets for walks and roofs.
They now wash the gas. They call it
scrubbng it.
This is done by hlling large vessel,
which looks like n perpendicular steam
boiler, hall-full of wood, laid crossways.
Then ten thousand streams of cold Croton
water are spurted through this boiler.
Through the mist and rain, and between
the wet sticks of wood, the gas passes
coming out washcd and cleansed. The
ammonia condenses, ioius the water, and
falls TO the bottom"
"What next?"
"Well, next the gas is purified. 1t is
passed through watts Of lime and oxide of
iron, which takes out the carhOnic acid,
sulphurated hydrogen, and ammonia"
"What next?"
''Thc gas is now pure. 1t s passed
through the big station metre, then through
the mains and pipes till it roiricS the gas
jet in your room. Then il burns, while
you all scold because it don't burn better"

An ANCIENT UUMoRIsT.- licrocles,
who lived in the sixth century, collected
twcnty-onc icsts under the general title of
the Pcdants, and in this fossil jest book we
find jokes that have been handed down
through succeeding collections, and have
become old and familiar friends. Among
these ancient iests is the account of the man
who, from fear of drowning, determined
not To enter the water until he was master
of the art Of swimming of the man who
complained that his horse died just as he
had taught ii to live without food of TIE
philosopher who carried a stone about with
him as n specimen of his house of one
who stood before glass with his eyes shut
TO see how he LOOK ed when lie was asleep !;
Of the man who bought a crow to see whelh-
er it would live two hundred years or not !;
and of one who went into boat ON horse
back because he was in Il hurry. Here we
find the ever new story of man who, meet
ing a friend, asked whether 1t was he or
his brother who was buried and the blum
dering excuse of the person who, not hav-
ing attended to the request of friend, said !,
when he met him, 81 am sorry | have new

Giles when he forwarded TO NJ. THEIRS, last
year, one of the original bricks of Indepen-
dence Hall in that city, "wlth the earnest
prayer that the legislators of beautiful
France may derive from it such an nspira-
ton rs shall lead them 10 erect a republic
whose dignity, Justice and purity shall
be the admiration of our age, and which

II. GREENE, NJ. D.,
Sdpt. Physician.

The object in establishing this Institution
was TO attain the greatest perfection in the
preparation, practice and use of Vegetable
Remedies, and to secure a permanent place
where Families, Invalids, or any person could
obtain the best medical advice, and such rem
cdies as each might require, without the use
Of poisonous drugs.
DR., Greene has been Physician of the Insti-
tute since its foundation, now more than
twenty-five years. Few men have had so
large experience in the treatment of chronic
diseases, DR.. Greene is in his ffty-f year
and has devoted his life to this branch of his
profession, and his success, we believe is with
out parallel.
Among the diseases TO which he gives cs-
pocial attention may be noticed Cancer, Scrof-
ula, Catarrh, Bronchitis, Consumption, Heart
Disease, Neuralgia, Asthma, Nervousness,
rheumatism, Paralysis, Spinal Diseases, Dys-
pcpsia, Liver Complaint, Female Complaints,
Faint Stomach, Erysipelas, White Swelling,
Salt Rheum, Canker, Deafness, Kidney Dis
eases, Seminal Weakness, &c.

THROTGH LIFE.

We lisght tho gifts that every season bears,
And let them fall UNDECIDED from our grasp,
In our great eag0rness to reach and clasp
The promised pleasures Of our coming years;
Or else We mourn some great good passed away,
And, in the shadow of our grief shut in,
Refuse the lesser good that We might win,
The oHe red peace and glndness Of today.
SO through the chambers Of our life we pass,
And leave them one by one, and never stay,
No knowing how much pleasantncss there was
In each until tho closing Of the door
Has sounded through the house and died away
And in our hearts we sigh, "Forevermore."

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
