The SEcRET.-ThOse who prize a

lady friends all dO), will thank US for a
few words on the invaluable qualities of
AYERS HAIR VIGOR as dressing. In
our own case it heals humoF, keeps the
head free from dandruf aud scurf, stops
the tendency of our hair to fall, and
heightens its beauty. A slight touching
with it removes the coarse and dry ap-
pearance which neglected hair puts on,
imparts rich gloss, and makes US pre-
sentable in the most fashionable company.
Such rare qualifications, presented in
single preparation. create for it an. eDdu'
ring value; but add to these the facu lty
of restoring 20 gray locks their youthful
color, and maintaining our good looks
with so small an expenditure of time and
attention, and you stamp it prime favor

From the Chicago Tribu ne
PLATONIC LOVE.

The graphic narrative from "Gath"
of the facts which he gathered rela-
tive to the Beecher scandal, during
his two days visit to Mr.. Moulton
and Theodore Tilton, while it throws
food of light on many things that
have heretofore appeared mysterious,
brings out one fact with startling
prominence,-that is, the dangers
which lurk about that sentimental
form of affection known as Platonic
love. The whole drift of the testi-
mony in this case, the statements of
Mr.. Beecher and Mr.. Tilton, the in
congruous and conflicting testimony
of Mrs. Tilton, and the letters and
documents which have thus far been
published, tend to show that the at
tachment between Mr.. Beecher and
Mrs. Tilton, when it first commenc-
ed, was one of sentiment, and as
Platonic as Plato himself might
have taught in any of his symposi-
ums. 1t is possible 1t might have
remained so had the conditions been
favorable,-that is, had Mr.. Beecher
and Mrs. Tilton been persons of
equal strength of mind and of equal
purity of purpose. Both are senti-
mental in their ideas, and poetical if
not rhapsodical by nature; but be-
yond this they are unlike in charac-
| ter. Mr.. Beecher is man built in a
strong mold; strong in physique;
strong in intellect; strong in the
power to facinate others by the mag
netism of his presence; a man enti-
tied to be called . genius, if any
man in the American pulpit can be
called such. Mrs. Tilton, on the
other hand, has shown by her testi-
mony, and even by the letters writ
ten to her husband, that she is a
weak, foolish woman, whose reason
is subservient to her emotions,
whose head is governed by her
heart. AS Mr.. Tilton and Mr.. Beech
er are men of similar tastes and pur-
poses, although the former has the
manly frankness and boldness of
youth, and the other the caution and
evasion of age, the opportunities for
interviews between Mr.. Beecher and
Mrs. Tilton were well nigh unlimit-
ed. Circumstances were favorable
for the consummation of this intima-
cy. Mr.. Beecher is a religious teach
er of consummate power and elo-
quence, and Mrs. Tilton is by nature
a deeply religious person. Mr..
Beecher is an eminently literary man,
and Mrs. Tilton is lover of litera-
ture. The Platonic attachment,
therefore, fed and thrived upon re-
ligion and literature. Like any
strongly religious and weakly
grounded woman, she idealized Mr..
Beecher. He gradually grew in her
imagination to be saint who could
do no harm. If she ever had scru-
pie, he could speedily remove 1t y
the assurance that no wrong coulu
be done under the cloak OF renglon'
He ministered to her literary Prlue
by reading to her and consu5'Ing
with her npon "Norwood, and the
ssTifa of Christ" and other matter
he was preparing for the press and
" made a convenient vehicle for the
forwarding of appointments when
Mr.. Iilton was away. Thus, wheth-
or Mr.. Beecher started out with an
evil purpose or not, the Platonic
friendship carried these two along
until Mrs. Tilton wished that "HeaV-
en- had made her such man." Hav.
ing reached this point, it was easy

The country along the Lake Shore
Railroad, says the Pa!nesville AdOsrtissr,
is swarming with ,ramps, who are con.
stantly stealing rides on the trains, and
prove an unmitigated nuisance. Dis.
patches are sent ahead of the trains to
officers at the depots TO clear the trains
of these barnacles, and it is no unusual
thing for trains to stop near the Furna ce
bridge and clear out the Improbable
gang of passengers that conceal theselves
on all parts of the train.
