In this age of scepticism, facts are
required to inspire confidence in the
minds of the people ; but, with good
indorsers, they are willing to test
any article claiming extraordinary
merit. The proprietors of Halls
Vegetable Sicilian Hair Remover
offer the following Endorsement of
the merits claimed by them for their
preparation, by the Pittsburg, Pa,
'Christian Advocate !" viz, 1.-THE
public have 80 often been deceived
by the use of worthless preparations
for the hair, that an article of this
kind, to gain their favor and secure
their patronage, must possess real
merit. We are glad to assure our
readers that Halls Vegetable Sicil.
ian Hair Remover is meeting with
the success which its merits so just
" deserve and we have reliable
evidence, that it will perform all
that is claimed for it, in restoring
gray hair to its natural color, and,
as a permanent dressing, is unsur-
passed."

Old black Jack was simple horse,
But honest, kind and true,
Whatever task his master set
with oil his might he'd do.
After years OF varying toll,
II fell his lot to tread
mammoth wheel, which by Tvs gear
A huge machinery sped.
In early life he had mate,
Sleek coated. prancing Jed,
For years the sclf-sa,ne toll they shared,
AZ the same stable fed.
At length the master changed his plans,
Let Jack to turn the wheel,
Aud Jed, being q handsome horse
Who seemed "his oats to feel,
lie made tho family carriage steed
Wearing Q harness gay,
And OH the Boulevards he pranced
On every sunny day.
1t CHANGED that Jed's we'll finished stall
Was hard by good jacks wheel,
Who, sometimes at his plodding work,
With weariness would reel.
And Jed meantime would .jser or scold,
Call Jack n sorry fool,
And boast that he would break away
In spite Of wheel or rule,
Or. that at least, he'd pause and rest
Whenever twas his will,
And that in spite of weight or gear,
He'd make the wheel stand still
One day the master saw that Jack
Was dropping meath his toll,
Thought he, "'rhe horse must be relieved
Or this his lungs will spoil"
Tho work was pressing, but he took
Jack from his weary task
Thought jed THAT might turn the wheel
Would be the boon I'd ask,
And I'd show Jack what spunk will DO"
"Master, let us try jed,
Twill nevor do the work to STOP"
The sturdy foreman said
So jed was placed upon the wheel,
Jack in a stall near by.
"Ho now's my time" exulted Jed,
While proudly flashed his eye.
But jed sorry figure cut,
He foundered, reeled. and slipped,
And when he tried to stop the wheel,
The wheel-alas it tipped.
It's vastly easy to pick flaws
When safe upon the shelf,
But It's o very different thing
To turn the wheel yourself

Two American Magazines,

The excellence of American Magazines has
become so well recognized abroad, that one
of the leading English Papers, the London
Weekly Register, in recent issue, thus
speaks of Scribuer's Monthly:

In the extent, variety ami artistic excel.
lence of its illustration Of American themes,
1t has never been even approached, much less
exceIled. 1t has larger page and gives a
greater variety i'll its contents than any other
of the Standard American Monthies
In literary character, and in the brilliancy
and ability of its Editorial Departments, it
enjoys an equal prominence.
It. conductors started with the definite
aim of making it tie best n,agazjae u. the
aCorid, of which they have never for a mo-
ment lost sight, and they point with pride
and pleasure TO the May and June numbers
recently issued. and ask for them candid
examination and IA careful comparison of
their merits with those of other magazines :;
and they renew their pledge to the public, to
strive tor still higher excellence in The future.
A considerable demand has recently arisen
in England for st. Nicholas, Scribner's New
Magazine for Boys and Girls, ore publisher
desiring to secure an edition of three thou
sand of the first bound volume (when com
peted), with his imprint
The success of st. Nicholas in this country
has been even more remarkable than that of
ocr'bner's Monthly. 1t is pronounced 10 be
. an ideally perfect Magazine for children"
and as Is the case with al the best litera-
ture for children, it has been found to possess
interest for grown up readers, as
well.
The influence of the periodicals of the day
can scarcely be estimated, especially upon
the rising generation. Parents and teachers
cannot afford to be Indifferent to this infu-
ence, or careless in relation to the character
of the literature furnished to the children
outside of their school lessons In st. Mich
olas not only are History, Natural Philoso
ply, Literature, Fine Arts, and Manufactures
presented IN an attractive way to y0ung
readers, but the children are stimulated TO
seek information for themselves
The Publishers will send to any address

are sod by all frstclass Booksellers and
