IN this age of scepticism. facts are reauir-
ed TO inspire confidence in the minds of the
people; but, with good indorsers, they are
willing to test any article claiming extraor-
dlnary merit. The propretors of Halls
Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer offer the
following endorsements of the merits claimed
o5 them for their preparation, by the Pitts
burgh, Pa, Christian Advocate;'' viz,
The public have SO often been deceived by
the use OF worthless preparations for the
halr, that an article of this kind, to gain their
favor and secure their patronage, must pos
sess real merit. We are glad to assure our
readers that Halls Vegetable sicilian Hair
Renewer is meeting with the success which
its merits SO justly 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 unsuI passed.

spectfully call attention to a few facts gener-
ally, but possibly not university known; They ,,y
1857, as follows:
Each Of said schools shall admit. when re-
study, If so long they behave themselves w.ll,
student annually. alternately male and female,
from each common school district within the coun-
ties comprising it's Normal District at a cost a xed
by the trustees of the board of directors sending
animation by said directors from amongst those.
If males, of the age of sixteen and upwards,
manifest a desire and capacity to exercise the pro-
fesson of teaching preference being always given
Gus habits and greatest proficiency in knowledge;
but one to be so admitted unless proficient in
normal schools BY their general reg uatiens adopt
ed under article seven Of this section"
The above provisions are certainly practical
them, every school board in our Normal dis
trict (and IN 1873. there were 14s) could secure
itself against the necessity or throwing (worse)
money away on incompetent teachers. 1t may
be argued that IL is not just to tax A and b TO
make teacher of G, but and B. by helping
to educate will get infinitely more benefit
from their money than by allowing 1t to be
will deny that there are many such. Bach
board OF directors should secure themselves by
of time, in their respective district at a mini
mum salary, on account of receiving this pub
lie benefit. And many earnest. faithful young
men and ladies' of limited means, would gladly
improve such an opportunity. We hope at
least ore hundred of our school boards will
have the moral courage to lay hold of the good
work, and by a wise outlay of a portion of the
funds entrusted to Them secure to themselves
and those whom they represent, competent
teachers, thereby benefttinR their own COM
munity and securing a blessing for the risiB z
generation which can be secured in other
way. We hope, too. that the young men and
young ladies of the Ninth Normal district W i'll

respectfully petition their respective school
boards to give them this great legacy. Our
State Normal Schools need the students our
common schools need the teachers. The bens-
fit is u ual and will be lasting eternity.

SONNET.
To w. G.-DIED 1873,
Thy portraiture within my hand
hold, and fondly gaze
On that fair brow, so broad and bland,
While images of other days
Troop through my mind with steps so grand
And echoes from the far-on strand
OF Memory return,
Like chimes in some far steeple rung,
And tell OF happy hours,
When Youth his brig test Garlands flung
Upon the rosy bowers,
Where. full of hope and cheer, sung.
Nor thought our schemes, airy-hung,
So soon should fud an urn.

THE OCTORARO.

Where Octoraro winds its course by wood
land hill,
And limped streamlets murmuring do
unite,
The old familiar cot doth greet my vision
Where first my infant eyes beheld the
light.
Along those rugged sleeps 1 oft have
strayed,
Mid scenes of youthful bliss, exempt
from pain,
To muse and rest beneath their grateful
shade,
Oh! how 1 love to trace your soothing
haunts again.
A mothers hand my feeble footsteps there
did guide
Among those scenes that met my earliest
Oft have l wandered there in manhood
pride,
When nature with her charms were new.
Where re roam, life's busy marts to see,
Whatever course my wanderings pursue,
Dear native spot, + fondlytur again to thee,
Where at affections shrine | seem to live
anew.
Thou winding stream, thy course remains
the same,
Still thy waters mingle with the briny
wave,
AS when the red man gave to thee thy
name;
On through time, these banks thou still
shalt lave.
When l reach that goal where all must
come at last,
As life's last lingering sun shall cease to
CLEAN,
With these loved ones remembered of the
past,
Oh let me peacefully rest by Octoraro' S
winding stream.

The favorite resort of the Druids was an
island opposite the mouth of the river
Loire, in France, where, once every year,
between sunrise and sunset, they pulled
down and rebuilt the roof of their temples:
and any priest who allowed the smallest
part of the sacred materials to fall care
lessly, was torn to pieces by his fellows.
The only traces of the order left to us
are the rude stone buildings at Stonehenge
and CaInac. Retreating before the Ro.
mans, the Druids went to the Isle of An
glesey, in Wales; and when they saw their
conquorors following, they made prepara-
lions for battle. Among their prepara-
tions-not exactly for the battle, but for
what they expected to follow it-were i'm
mense affairs, on which they intended to
sacrifice the unfortunate Romans who
should be left after the battle. They were
quite sure that they would need these al
tars, for their oracles gave them every rea-
son to believe in glorious triumph of their
arms. But the Romans were again victori-
GUS, and the Druids themselves were the
ones sacrifced.-St. Nicholas.
