The ATTENTION OF HAIR DREssERs. and
all ladies and gentlemen who dress their
own hair, should be directed to "Morse's
Luxurene," a late invention Of fresh,
deodorizod, Cocoa Nut and Castor Bean
Oil, united with other restorative and
identifying properties, for stripping the
hair from falling out, and perpetuating
its growth. A dcodorized cocoa nut
and castor oil hair compound has never
before been successfully produced, hence
the merits and refined qualities Of the
"Luxurene" is a theme Of praise with
all who use it. II is prepared in New
York by the Morse Manufacturing
Company, and can be had Of all enter
prising druggists in the country. 1t il

Wheat for Horses.

The proprietor Of an extensive mail
route in the Southwest where the grass
hoppers have destroyed nearly every
thing, except wheat, writes that he has
contracted for 10000 bushels OF wheat,
at so cents per bushel, to feed his
horses. So far they have done well,
and the wheat is much cheaper than
oats. suppose the only danger is
from the horses eating too much at a
time. If it could be soaked in water
for four or five hours, it would prob.
ably be less likely to swell in the
stomach or produce collie. IL ground
AMI mixed with cut hay it would be
still better, but | suppose this cannot
be done.

Last night, when the shadows had fallen
low,
Aud the siar-besms fell with their silyery
glow,
On the earth with its beauteous mantle Of
snow
Came an angel form to my bed of pain,
While my tears fell fast as the weeping
rain,
Ger the loved and lost, who never again
Would come back from over the sea.
why weep for thy loved ore, >" the angel

Though gone from thy sight she is not
dead,
Her home is with HIM of the thorn

Aud wi en- thy work on earth is done,
Thou wilt meet again thy much loved one
And worship with her at the Fathers
throne,
In the beauti al summer-land."

per cent lower the remainder of the list as COM
pared with the final figures Of Saturday last. A
sharp raid upon the Western roads notably ST. Paul
and Northwestern, depressed prices materially.
Later the day the market became slightly better
but was dull and unmterestDg until near the close,
when the entire list gave way from to per cent,
the market closing weak at the lowest prices Of the
day. Among the reasons assigned for the decline
a report that the Treasury is about to withdraw
a portion of the greenbacks in circulation in
excess Of the S3j6OOOOO0 authorized by law,
and rumor that the Erie Railway Company has
further weakened itself by taking n lease Of
the Atlantic and Great Western, a rumor which we
are very much inclined to doubt, in view Of the
character of the gentlemen composing the present
Erie management Then the proclamation of the
Governor of Wisconsin is supposed to have unfavOr
ably affected certain Western roads running through
that State Another and possibly better reason than
any of these for the decline may be mentioned,
which is that a considerable number of railway
shares were offered for sale and it may be doubted
if this market can stand up long under much of
that sort of thing. The opening. highest, lowest,
