Every year increases the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard; !; and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepara-
ton 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 eruptions and
dandruff, and, by its tonic proper
ties, 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 vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most
economical HAIR-DEEssING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica>
tions, and gives the hair splendid
glossy appearance. a. a. Hayes.

PICKING THE EAR.

DIR. Hall says ttpicking the ear' is a
most mischievouss practice! in attempt
ing to do this with hard substances, an
unlncky motion has many time pierced
the drum; nothing sharper nor harder
than the end of the little finger. with
the nail pared, ought ever to be intro
duced into the ear, unless by physi-
clan.
Persons are often seen endeaverfng to
remove the "wax" of the ear with the
head of pin; this ought never to be
done; first, because iG not only endan-
gers the rupture of the ear by being
pushed too far in, but if not SO far, it
may CRATE against the drum, excite in
f1ammation and an ulcer which will final
ly eat all the parts away, especially if of
a scrofulous constitution; second, hard
substances have often slipped in and
caused the necessity of painful opera
tions to fish or cut out; third, the wax
is manufactured by nature to guard the
entrance from dust, insects and unmod-
flied cold air, and when it has subserved
its purpose it becomes dry, scaly, light,
and in this condition is easily pushed
outside by new formation of wax with
in. 's-
Occasionally wax may harden and
may interfere with the hearing; but
when this is the case, it is the part Of
wisdom TO consult physician and let
him decide what is the remedy; il one
cannot be had, the only safe plan is to
be let fall into the ear three or four
drops of tepid water, night and morn
ing; the saliva is better astiii, for it is
softer and more penetrating, but glyce-
rine is far preferable to either; it is one
of the blandest fluids in Nature, and
very rapidly penetrates the hardened
wax, cools the parts, and restores them
to a healthful condition. If in week
there is not decided Improvement in
the hearing, medical advice ought to be
had at once, az next to the eye, the ear
is the most delicate organ Of the body"

REMEMBERING AND roRGErrnNG

1t is good thing to be able to remem-
ber, but It is no less desirable to be able
to forget. Happiest among men is he
whose will exercises the strongest con-
troll over his memory, for he can bury
his cares in Oblivion, and record the
pleasant incidents of his life where
'severy day he turns the leaf to read
them.o 80. ,ii.i.,lf fs.sJ
Some men can remember nothing
Theirs is great misfortune, for expert
ence is of no use to them. They walk
in darkness, minus the lamp by which
wiser feet are guarded, and of course
stumble as they go. There are others
whose vile forte is to- remember pleasti-
rably all that good men strive to dismiss
from their recollection. Their minds
are like filter, which permit that
which is pure and excellent to run
them, but retain whatever is
course and noxious. Their fund of i'm
information::is is inexhaustible,
but of facts which illustrate the best
traits of human nature or the wisdom
and benevolence of its author, their
memories are bare. There are a very
large class that cannot remember bene-
fits and others that never forget WRONGS.
In short, the specialties of memory and
forgetfulness are manifold.

A TERRIBLE NIGHTMARES.

A gentleman in an upper township,
out west, of course, got the nightmare
one night not long ago, and dreamed
that he was standing on a railroad track
chained to log that was fastened to the
rails. He heard the, train approaching,
and he made the most desperate exer-
tions to drag the log off in time to pre-
vent heartrending disaster. He tug
ged, and pulled, and jerked and wrestled
with that log, apparently for an hour
and half. but in vain. AT last the en-
gine dashed up, the cow-catcher struck
him and he awoke.. He was surprised
to find himself lying on the floor, with
his wife standing over him. and fond
ling him with a windsor chair, and
wanting to know what he meant by
pulling her out of bed by the leg. He
had been clinging to 1t with despera-
ton. thinking 1t was a logan error
which was hardly more preposterous
than his idea that the chairswas a cow
catcher. His wife said she would ex-
cuse him that time; but he would either
have to sign pledge never to have any
more athletic nightmares, or submit &c
