Hair Vigor,
For restoring to Gray Hair its
natural Vitality and Color.

gloss and freshness Of yoath. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroycd, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that u new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with q pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents tho forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
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.

THE NEW LuMrNARY.

A WICKED boy caught a FIRE fly
one day and stuck it with mucilage
on the center Of the largest lens Of
the telescope in the Washington Oh
servatory. The astronomer per-
ceived blaze Of light, which died
out at intervals, and thinking he had
discovered most extraordinary star,
he pronounced it s.of the third mag>
nitude of Orion" He telegraphed,
at an expense Of $4,000, all over
the world, and the astronomers gaz-
cd at Orion until they were wild and
then telegraphed back to the Pro-
fossor for further information. In
the meantime the discoyerer found
his star had moved eighteen billions
Of miles In "a hours and perceiv~
ed It actually had legs! But on pol.
ishing bis lens he found the light
ming bug !---shen he swors terribly !;
worse than four army 10 Flanders"

away down in Alexandria, seven
miles away. Since then be has been
looking FOR that boy he wishes to
consult with him about something.

ONE IDEA OF POVERTY.

II was Bulwer who said 10 nine
cases out of ten poverty was only an
idea. Some men with ten thousand
dollars a year suffer more for want
Of means than others with three huns
dred. The reason is, the rich man
has artificial wants. His income is
ten thousand a year, and he suffers
enough from being dunned for UNI
paid debts to kill sensitive man. -
A man who earns dollar day, and
who does not run in debt, is the hap
pier Of the two. Very few people
who have never been rich viii be-
lieve this, but it is true. There
are thousands and thousands with
princely incomes who never knew a
moments peace because they lived
beyond their means. There is real
ly more happiness in the world
among working people, than among
those who are called rich--always
providing that poor folks do not in
q smaller way emulate the prodigal-
ity Of their rich brethren. Poverty
is simply the question Of the good or
bad management of money in hand.

IMPORTANCE OF FARMING.

We clip the following very sensi-
BILE remarks from the columns of the
New York Working Farmer they
are as true here as in New York !:
"Young men from the farms, il
you have met with disapointments in
your first essay at professional or
mercantile life, and do net see your
way clear to success, go back to the
soil which suffers for laborers, to the
fertile acres which remain untitled,
because there is an increasing dearth
of skilled workmen, in the most health.
full and permanently productive ofall
employments-before it is too late. In
proportion to our increase of popula-
ton, the ranks of agriculture are sad
ly deficient in talent and numbers,
and are growing thinner every year.
The source OF all wealth is the soil,
and the nation can only grow richas
the latter is made more and more
productive, while the waste places are
are reclaimed and an increased area
is brought under cultivation. Yet
the 'go- betweens'-the worlds car
riers--those who live by simply con-
veying the products Of the farm to
the mandatory, and vice versa,
and others who derive profit direct
ly or indirectly from this traffic, are
increasing in fearful ratio compared
to the real producers Of wealth, the
tillers of the soil whose products
would make the land wax fat with
riches. If this process of deteriora-
ton goes on-if the ranks of agricul-
ture are not kept filed with compe-
tent Iaborers- we map look out for q
speedy decline of our national
wealth,

There is great excitement in Ohio
in regard TO a war upon bar-rooms
and drinking saloons by the women.
The weapons are spiritual on both
sides; but, however, to be more
explicit, the weapons of the besieg-
ers consist in prayer and singing
in bar-rooms and saloons, which is
resisted by the carnal spirituality of
distilled "sperits," believed not to
be those Of '.just men made perfect
The women congregate at a bar
room and commence regular siege
by prayers and singing, If they
are not permitted on the inside, they
take position outside in front, and
commence work, remaining from
morning till night, from day to day,
until the patience Of the saloon
keeper is exhausted and he surren-
ders at discretion, giving up bis
business. In some instances, it
requires whole week to reduce a
single fortifcation to capitalization
In some cases the ladies erect shan
ties in front Of a bar-room, drug
store, or wherever whiskey 10 sold,
to be removed only when . victory
is won.
The movement has thrown Ohio
into a state of excitement greater
than she has known since the raid Of
General John Morgan. From Zanes>
vile to Cincinnati, along the line Of
the Muskingum Valley Railroad, a
fierce, unrelenting determined tenn
perance war RACES 10 every town
and hamlet. There is little doubt
but that the traffic will be utterly
broken up for time. And where
or when the crusade will end no man
can foresee. 1t RACES in Indiana,
and the towns Of Illinois have caught
the complaint. The ladies Of Pana
in that State are getting their bibles
and hymn books ready for a cam
paign of stubborn aggressiveness
The crusade may be considered /
moral, or even a religious, agitation,
physically applied. The grogshoE
is deadly curse, and especially 81

tiers and sisters of the land, -

THREE FRIENDS.

Trust to no friend il you have not
proved him they are oftener found
at the banqueting table than at tho
door Of the prison. A man had three
friends two Of them he loved
greatly, to the third he was indiffer-
ent, although this one was the most
honest and sincere. He was once
summoned before tribunal, where
although innocent, he was harshlyl
accused. "Who Of you," he said,
twill go with me and testify for me,
for ] am harshly accused, and the
Judge" is angry with me ~
The first Of his friends at once
excused himself, and said that he
could not go with him on account Of
other business. The second accom-
panied him to the door Of the court
house, then turned and went back,
for he was afraid Of the angry Judge.
The third, upon whom he had least
depended, went in with him and
spoke ia his defense, and testified 80
readily to his innocence, that the
Judge dismissed him with rich gifts.
Man has three friends in this
world how do they conduct them
selves in the hour Of death. when
heaven summons the soul before ii
tribunali Money, his dearest friend
leaves him first and does not go with
him. His relatives and friend attend
him to the door Of the grave, and
return again to their homes. Tbs
third, whom he oftenest forgot in life
is his works Of beneyolence these
alone accompany him 10 the throne
Of the Judge they 90 before, speak
in bis defense, and fad mercy and
favor for him.

HuMBLu HrRorsp4.

An instance Of courage and fidsli-
ty to duty occurred on the Boston and
Albany railroad on Saturday, JAN
uary "a. A freight train going
west from Springfield, Massachu-
sets, was compelled to stop on the
track few moments for some pur-
pose near the State line, and Will
liam Burdick. a brakeman, was sent
back to flag 3 train which was
momentarily expected to come up
rapidly in the rear. Burdick ran
forward with HE flag, but unfortu-
nately slipped and fell into culvert
and borke one of bis legs. With
remarkable pluck he managed to get
out upon the track, and, crawling
along on his hands and knees con-
siderable distance, he succeeded in
stopping the approaching train and
preventing an accident. The brave
fellow was conveyed to the nearest
station, where his leg was set.

THE AWKWARD AGE.

A wise and sweet woman sug-
gests, as a sovereign remedy for
the Observation-Disclosures of that which
we are wont to call the awkward age
in boys and girls--that time when
they are too large to feel like chill
dren, and not quite sure enough Of
themselves to feel like adults--that
we should always treat even the
smallest children with the courtesy
and consideration that we show to
grown up people, and then they will
never feel at loss as to their recep-
ton, thus quite escaping the uncer-
tain and uncomfortable awkard age.
There are few things more impor-
tant in the right development of
human creature than self.respect !;
but how is child to learn to respect
itself, if it sees that it is alone in the
sentiment; that by no one else is it
respected More harm is, perhaps,
done children by snubbing them
than even by weak indulgence. We
have all seen homes whore the
slightest expression Of 9 child's idea
on any point under discussion was
greeted with "Who asked for your
thoughts z" or With some sarcasm
such as "Ah now we shall have the
matter settled, Miss Experiences is
freeing her mind" 1t is so difficult
to hit the right means. We do not
want our children troublesome to
visitors ; grown up people do not
care to pause in their talk to listen
to the unconsidered opinions Of thir-
teen but suppose we try the ex-
pertinent Of respectful attention for
q lwhilei Would not the young
folks stop talking until they had
something to say, quite as surely if
they saw that their words were lis
tened to with attention as if they
felt that their voices were but beat

THE AsHANTREs.

According to the latest accounts
from the Gold Coast the Ashantees
have become so far impressed with
the prowess Of British arms that they
are sueing for peace but Sir Garnet
Wolseley, the British commander,
declares that he will only grant terms
after finding his way to Coomassie,
the capital.
So far, then, despite the criticism
Of some of the British politicians, the
Ashantee expedition has proved a
success, The loss Of life either in
battle or from the effects Of the eli
mate has not been SO great as was
expected, and the enemy has shown
an unexpected readiness to drop the
offensive.
With the English troops there is
quite an army Of newspaper cores
pondents. Up to this time these
'shappy swains" have had nothing
else to do save to write descriptions
of African scenery, and to compare
the customs of the country with the
accounts given by Bowditch, the
only recognized authority on Asian
tee life and manners. One of these
writer's, for instance, discovers that
Bowditch exaggerates the beauties
of the scenery Of the river Prah.---
This stream, which has been so often
mentioned in the letters from Asian
tee, is only from seventy to ninety
yards wide, and its muddy waters
run between shores shaded by groves
of plantain trees. Another correspon-
dent gives pleasing picture Of for .
est life in this distant African coun-
try. He writes: Through this
Gold Coast forest, at ordinary times,
runs red or yellow foot-path, winds
ing as river. As you journey
along in your hammock, which is
brushed by the branches of trees,
you meet women carrying bundles Of
firewood on their heads, or baskets
Of plantains, or calabashes contain
ing palm oil, or gourd bottles troth-
ing over with palm wine, or perhaps
you may see a hunter with bis flint
gun on his shoulder, the lock covered
with a guard Of monkey-skin. Then,
out Of the depths Of the forest, you
hear cock crow, and you know that
village is near. You cross the
brook, where girls arc washing their
clothes, or their own sable forms,
with soap manufactured By them~
selves; they spring aside with laugh
ter and screams, and point ut the
white man and pretend to be afraid.
You go on to the village, which 10

A HORRIBLE SPECTACLE.

The scene which followed almost
beggars description. The body shot
straight downward. The rope
stretched with sudden, elastic like
spring, the black cap few into the
air at least eight feet, and scattering
the blood in great spots over the
rope, the white washed wall, the
trap, the chair in which the doomed
man sat, and the sheriffs boots, it
rolled away in one corner of the en-
closure, The body Of the poor man
fell to the ground with great thud,
and two red, geyser like jets spurted
up from the neck and fell down on
the ground in torrents. A closer
look, and then the horror stricken
faces of the spectators showed that
the awful nature of the occurrence
had burst upon them. The old mans
head had actually been jerked from
his body, and was even then lying
in the black cap where it had rolled
in the corner. The headless trunk
lay weltering in the blood which
poured from the neck. Not a word
was spoken. After the first thrill of
horror strong men turned away sick
ened at the spectacle. The faces on
the platform were blanched and
ghastly. The sheriff was as white
as chalk, but he was cool and collec-
ted, and did much to inspire those
around him.
