AMERICAN HERoIsM. The Centen-
NAL celebrations all over the country
will teach us this also, that in the final
consecrating grace of any scene upon
the globe, namely, the display Of the
highest human heroism, our own soil
is as rich as any upon which tho sun
shines. Hawthorne, who lived in
Concord bewailcd the want of 70
mantle suggestion in this country, yet
aftcrward in bis Septimius .Eelton he
showed that his own quiet village and
day were as full of romantic and mo-
wing incident rs any spot or time in
history, Where, in any annals, is
there u more striking and poetic story
than that OF the midnight march to
Concord, and the country rising be
hind the invader? What element of
romance is wanting to the scene of
Ethan Allen entering the fortress
whose name Of Ticonderoga is full of
resounding music, and which is set
amidst every picturesque charm of
landscape, and summoning the sur
render in the name Of tay Great
Jehovah and the Contin, ntai Con
gress ? Even the tender grace of
Philip Sidncy's pure devotion in hand
ing the cup of water to the dying
soldier is emulated by the reply Of the
young man MORALLY stricken upon a
battlefield Of the late war, who re-
fused to allow his comrade to leave
the gun to give him a drop of water.
IF America is not classic ground, there
is none. IF our own story does not
inspire the imagination, imagination
has red.-EDIToR's EASY CHAIR,

Coop ApvIcE.-A distinguished
admiral, who rose to the high station
as the effects of his meritorious exer-
tons, used to be fond of relating that
on first leaving an humble lodging to
join his ship as midshipman, his
landlady presented him with Bible
and 500, saying Good bless you and
prosper you, my lad, and as long as
you live never suffer yourself to be
laughed out of your money or your
prayer" The young sailor carefully
followed this advice through life, and
had reason to rejoice that he did so,
while thousands nave unavalingly re-
GREETED that they have pursued a differ
ent course.

PETERsoN's MAGAzINE.-Tbe July
number is already on our table, and is
one of those rare triumphs which
have won for this "qusen of the ladies'
books" its vast circulation, larger, we
believe, than that OF any other in the
world. The principal steel plate, "a
Modern Water-Nymph,' illustrates a
sparkling little sketch, III which a con.
ceited town exquisite comes to deserv-
ed grief at the hands of u pretty coun-
try belle. The double-sized colored
steel fashion-plate is wonder of beau
ty (; the styles are the latest and it is
not only fashion plate, it is pict-
ure. As to the literary contents, they
are, as always, first class. Specimens
are sent, gratis, to persons
wishing to get up clubs. Address,

OLD TIME AND l.

Old Time and l the other night
Had a carouse together
The wine was golden, warm and bright
Aye just like summer weather,
Quoth I, "Heres Christmas come again,
And no farthing richer"
Time answered, "Ah the old, old strain
lprithee pass the pitcher"
''Why measure all your good in gold?
No rope of sand is weaker;
Ills hard to get, It's hard to hold
Come, lad, fill up your beaker.
Hast thou not found true friends more true
And loving ones more loving ?"
| could but say, ga few, few
So keep the liquor moving"
''Hast thou not seen the prosperous knave
Come down precious thumpcr?
His cheats disclose 2" 81 have, l have !"
"Well, surely that's bumper ?"
NAY, hold while, I've seen the just
Find all their hopes grow DINNER"
''They will hope on, and strive and trust,
And conquer ~ "Thats a brimmer."
"'Tis not because to-day is dark,
No brighter days before EN-;
There's rest for every stormtossed bark :"

Yet | must own | should not mind
To be a little richer"

Drinking Water.

DIR. HALL is opposed to the i'm
moderate drinking of water. lie
says -
The longer one puts off drinking
water in the morning, especially in the
summer, the less he will require
during the day if much is drank
during the forenoon the thirst often
increases, and very unpleasant full
ness is observed, in addition to a
metallic taste in the mouth.
The less a man drinks the better
for him, beyond a moderate amount
The more water man drinks the
more strength he has to eXpend in
getting rid of it, for all the fluid taken
into the system must be carried out !;
and as there is but little nourishment
water, tea, coffee, beer and the like,
more strength is expended in carrying
them out of the system than they I'M
part to it. The more man drinks
the more he must perspire, either by
lungs or through the SKIN; the more
he perspires the more carbon is taken
from the system but this carbon is
necessary for nutrition, hence the less
q man is nourished the less strength
he has
Drinking water largely diminishes
the strength in two ways, and yet
many are under the impression that
the more water swallowed the more
thoroughly is the system ''washed
OUT Thus, the less we drink at
meals the bettca for us. If the a
mount were limited to single cup Of
hot tea or hot milk and water at each
meal, an immeasurable good would
result to all. Many persons have fallen
into the practice of drinking several
glasses of cold water, or several cups
OF hot tea or coffee, at meals, out Of
mere habit all such will be greatly
benefited by breaking it up at once !;
it may be very well to drink a little at
each meal, and, perhaps, it will be
found that in all cases it is much bet
ter to take a single cup ofhot tea at
each meal than glass Of cold water,
however pure.

The report of the New Orleans
E.rchtmgc OH the cotton crop prospect
as it appeared in May IS encouraging.
1t has reference to three States only,
but these three, Louisiana Mississippi
and Arkansas, are representative ones
as regards cotton production. In
Louisiana, returns from thirty one
parishes show an increase in acreage
of four per cent. The weather has
been cool but favorable the crop is
about as early as last year, and the
stand very good. Labor is about the
same as last year as regards numbers,
but much more efficient than in form
er years. In Mississippi, twenty-six
counties show an increase of three per
cent. in acreage, with more favorable
weather than last year and an earlier
crop by week or ten days. Labor
is invariably more efficient, with no
noticeable change in numbers. Ar
kansas reports about the same increase
in acreage, The plant is yet small,
but the stand is good, the fields free
from grass and the prospect favorable.
All these reports seem to indicate a
much larger yield than last year if
nothing happens to the crop. Anotk-
er favorable feature is the largely in.
creased acreage in corn and small
grain, and if their staple should fail
them the people Of the South will not
be entirely without resources rs
they have been in the past.

gloss AMI freshness Of youth. 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-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity SO that q new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of foulins the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton Of dandruf;, which is often so I'M
clearly 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 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 q grateful perfume.
