Harriet Martineau tells how, when she
had grown to be quite n girl, little one
was born into her home; and as she would
look and ponder, not knowing what would
become of 1t, she got a great terror into
her heart that the babe would mev er speak.
or walk, or do anything that she could do,
because. she said, how can it; seeing that
il is so helpless now? But she found.
when the right time came that the feet
found their footing and the tongue its
speech, and everything came on in its own
right time; and then instead of babe, she
had a noble and beautiful brother, who
was able to take her part, and teach
things to her, who had taught him. So
the babe became an illustration, when it
came to manhood, OF very common lat
ent fear in the hearts, not of sisters 70
much a. of fathers and mothers, that the
lie that has cometO them, and is their
life over again, will noi scramble, or grow
N nestle INTO its own place as theirs has
done

The scalp, by its use, becomes white

critics, prevents the hair from falling

the hair-glands. BY is use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, ii restores the capillary
glands to their Normal vicor, and
will create n new growth, except in
