oloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though net 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 fouhng the hair with a pasty sedi-
nent, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use win prevent the hair
from turning gray OF falling of, 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 UNI
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
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 a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

not been for my comfort; so, in a certain
degree, il is my fault that she is lost. I
suppose ought not to feel thus, as God,
IN his all-wise providence, plans all
things to his liking, and so has taken
Julia to her home to him. About eight
o'clock, Saturday morning, a ship was
sighted and, being signaled, came near.
She proved to be the American ship Tri-
mountain, Capt. Urquhart, from New
York for Bristol, England. BY the ad-
vice of Capt. Surmont, who thought the
English ship too much damaged to be
seaworthy, we were transferred to the
Trimountain, were taken on board aud
cared for as we'll as human beings could
be under the circumstances. Capt. Ur-
quhart is noble man and has done no.
bly, by us all. He gave up everything
to Us, and, having carried his wife often
with him, was able to provide the ladies,
OF whom there are eleven, with dresses
and other comforts. OF course the pro-
visions. were very plain and not very
pienteous but he has been able to give
the ladies three meals and the men two,
every day. They have been mostly of
salt meat and pork, but, as the cargo
was principally of -four, we have plenty
OF good bread. Twenty four of US slept
on the floor of the cabin on improvised
beds. Of the conduct of the officers of
the steamer, think those saved did ev-
in their power to save the pas
sengers, but the steamer sunk SO quickly
that there was hardly time to launch the
boats or do anything. | would give you

How Much Work A Horse CAN Do.
At meeting of the British Associa.
ton at Dublin, Mr.. Charles Bianconi OF
Campel read paper relative to his ex-
tensiye car establishment, after which a
gentleman stated that at Pickford's, the
great English carriers, they could not
work horse more than ten miles day,
and wished to know Mr.. Bianconi's opin-
ion on the subject. Mr.. b. stated that
be found by experience, that he could
better work horse eight miles a dag
for six days in the week, than six miles
a day for seven days. By not working
on Sunday, he effected a saving of twelve
per cent. Mr.. Bianconi's opinion on
that point S of the highest Importance,
Tor be has over nine hundred horses
working sixty-seven conveyances, which
daily travel 4244 miles. 1t is also the
result of 4S years experience.-Sciientifc

A WORD FOR THE PooR.-The winter
will be hard one. Work will be scarce
and money searcer. Already the great
manufacturing firms have discharged
many of their hands, anl those who
have not dismissed employees have reduc,
ed wages so low that the effect of the
two is not very different. To beg, to
steal or to starve seems the only solution
to the problem of life for these enforced
idlers. When there is scantiuess of work
there is inevitably plentitude of crime.
1t is stated that twenty thousand men
and women, dependent on their daily
earnings for support, were out of employ
ment last winter in New York and it is
feared that the number this season may
be doubled. Many of these must wan
der into the country in search of the la
Dor they cannot find in town. When
they ask at your doors for work, try to
find something for them, if it be only for
a few hours. Trust them, even if their
appearance be uncanny. Give them
work and pay them for it. Money that
comes without labor is generally the least
charitable of gifts. To live upon pecu-
mary aid that has had no equivalent, is
to lose selfrespect and to lose self-re-
spect is to lose the balance wheel of
healthy organization.
Engage all the help this winter you
can possibly afford. Have your sewing
done, not by expensive modistes, but by
the poor women who stitch by the day or
Job. Hire the chore- woman for an extra
cleaning, now and then. Let the wash
er-woman's boy do the errands you have
been in the habit of doing yourself
them for selfrespecting toll,
instead of making them the recipients of
a mortifying charity. Do not save pen
nies, and call it economy, by performing
the task which, by the law Of mutual
help, belongs to others. 1t is keeping
from them that which is their right Re-
rain from buying luxuries, if you will,
out do not take from the needy, through
/ mistaken idea of thrift. t.-iScri6ner for

How THE RUSSIAN SOLDIERS LOOK.
You would be delighted to see the drill
of these Russian soldiers. This morning
while was reading your letter, there
was parading in the Boulevard directly
in front of this legation, regiment of
cavalry, about 800 strong, every horse
black, not white hair in all the mum.
Der, of the same hight, size and style,
standing like statues, while the riders,
all large men and in equal drill, helmets
and breast plates of brass polished to the
highest perfection, with drawn sabres of
brightest steel, long, crooked, and in
tended for business. The exactitude of
these regiments is wonderful. Most of
the horses are black, but there are regi-
ments of grays and bays, but no mix
lures. Each horse must have fine
flowing name and tail. The infantry
and artillery are equally closely selected,
no diversity of hight in company, and
they move like machinery. Great pre-
parations are being made for the festivi-
ties of the coming nuptials of the duke
of Edinburgh with the Russian princess,
and daily drills are taking place on the
" Champ de Mars y | should guess there
were out, to-day, 1000 or 5000 cavalry,
as many artillery, and 10000 to 10000
infantry. It's splendid sight, such as
is seen nowhere else. Marching is very
rapid, and mostly to trumpets, only some
times accompanied by kettle drums, and
forshow occasions fine big military bands
The emperor and all the imperial family
are splendid soldiers, and always appear
in the uniform of their respective regi-
ments, which makes the military idea
the prominent one of the empire. L
want to see no such army in our country
our citizen soldiers are sufficient but
for an absolute monarchy like this, it ap-
pears to be indispensable.-Letter from
Minister JeiOeH

BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

Who of my young friends have read
the sorrowful story of Enoch Arden,
so sweetly and simply told by the great
English poet2 1t is the story of man
who went to sea, leaving behind sweet
young wife and little daughter. He was
cast away on desert island, where be
remained several years, when he was
discovered, and taken off by passing
vessel. Coming back to his native town
he found his wife married to an old
playmate good man, rich and honor
ed, with whom she was living happily.
The poor man unwilling to cause her
pain and perplexity, resolved not to
make himself known to her, and lived
and died, alone. The poem has remind
ed me of very similar story of my own
New England neighborhood, which
have often heard, and vhich [ will try
