ture of the business is the least cOnspicu-

order that the "bureau may be self
supporting. a schedule Of charges has
been scientifically arranged for the bene-
fit Of the patrons. The average fee to
retain services Of the agent for one month
is 50. At the end Of that time, If con-
genial companion Is not found, the agen-
cy refunds the money. IT marriage -

A healthy man, medium size, average

stature, give him graceful moustache
and other items of external grace, and his
fee of admission depreciates fifty per

How to Get Beautiful Hair and How to
Retain II.

To get and retain beautiful hair, you
must attend to daily brushing it, occa-
sionally washing it, and periodically
trimming it, and striving at all times to
keep the general health up to the av-
erage.
Now as to brushing. The skin of the
head, like that of every other part of the
body, is constantly being renewed inter
nally, and peeling off in scales as fine as
dust externally, and these are to be re-
moved by means of the brush. But it is
not so easy to properly brush the hair as
one may imagine. Few hair-dressers,
indeed, know much about it. The proper
time for the operation, then, is the morn
ing, Just after you have come out of your
bath, provided you have not wetted the
hair. Two kinds of brushes ought to be
found on every lady's toilette table,
hard and a soft. The former is to be used,
and used well, but not too roughly; it re-
moves all dust, and acts like tonic on the
roots of the hair.
Secondly, one word on washing the
hair. This is necessary occasionally to
thoroughly cleanse both head and hair.
One or two precautions must be taken
however. Never use soap if you can
avoid it; if you do, let it be the very
mildest and unperfumed; avoid so-called
hair-cleansing fluids, and Use rain-water
filtered. The yolks of two new-laid eggs
are much to be preferred to soap they
make beautiful lather, and when the
washing is finished, and the hair thor
oughly rinsed in tie purest rain-water.
you will find when dry that the gloss
will not be destroyed, which an alkali
fails to do. The fist water must not be
very hot, o.,ly just warm, and the last
perfectly cold. Dry with soft towels
ko not rub till the skin is tender-and
afterward brush. Be very careful to have
your brushes and combs perfectly clean
and free from grease, and place your
brushes on the table for friends Of yours
who happen to be Macassarites.
Pointing the hair regularly not only
prevents it from splitting at the ends,
but it renders each individual hair more
healthy, less attenuated-if | may apply
the term to hair-and, moreover, keeps
up the growing process which otherwise
might be blunted or checked. Singing
the ii of the hair has also beneficial
effect.
H. will be seen that / am no advocate
aiIs and pomades. Ny advice, in all
eN.es, is to do without them if you poss,
by can, for by their clOgging nature and
properties they often
cause the hair to grow thin and fall off
sooner than it would otherwise. Let well
alone.
One word, ir conclusion, about dyes.
avoid them if you be your own friend.
Hair-dying is very satisfactory, as far as
dead hair is concerned, but on the living
head its perfect success is a chemical i'm
possibility. AS TO the hair restorers,
those that are not simply stainers depend
upon the action of the light chemically
altering and oxodizing the application
after it has been used Their incautious
use, l must add, is fraught with great
danger, and frichosis .furGcia Eyes, /

A Game They Did Not Understand.

According to the story, Mr.. Everett
was to present his credentials to the
queen on the same day with the presen
tation of the Italian minister, and re-
paired at the proper hour in the costume
of ceremony to the palace, where he saw
his Italian colleague, also Officially and
splendidly arrayed. The presentation
took place in due form, aud the minis
ters, having been hidden to dinner, were
informed by the prime minister that the
Duchess of Kent, the queens mother, de-
sired them to join her in game of
whist.
81 am sorry for either of you who may
be my partner" said the prime minister
smiling as he rose to lead the way to the
duchess, ''for know very little about
the game.
As they passed along Mr.. Everett
turned to his diplomatic companion aud
said with lofty urbanity:
"I must also entreat your excellency' s
forbearance if you should have the mis-
fortune to be allotted to me as a partner,
for / have very little practice in the
game.
The Italian excellency bowed cOurte-
ously, anl gravely assured the American
minister that the necessity for fOrbear-
ance was mutual, for be also had very
little acquaintance with the game. The

A WATERFOWL girl addresses Mrs. A.
T. Stewart as aunty, and tells how sorry
she is about her poor dead uncle. About

Two ladies Contended for precedence

awarded, "Let the elder go first" Such

FREDERIKA BRENfER's only attempt at
poetry in English was written at Niagara.
The Swedish novelist was there with
James Russell Lowell and his wife. II
was presented to Mr.. Lowell with gold
pen. Here it is:
A gold pen is a little thing,
But in thy poet hand
1t can take life-it can take wing
Become a magic wand,
More powerful, more wonderful
Than alchemy of old;
1t can make minds all beautiful
Change all things into gold
PAYsoN, on his dying bed, said 10 his
daughter, "You will avoid much pain
and anxiety if you will learn to trust all
your concerns in Gods hands. Cast all
your care on him, for he careth for you
But if you merely go and say that you
cast your care upon him, you will come
away with the load on your shoulders"

THE srAn.sPANeLED BANNER.
BY FRANCIS S. KEY.

OF say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we haird at the twilights last
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the
Perilous fight,
streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in
Gave proof through the night that our flag was
OF say, dOeI the star-spangled banner yet
wave,
the brave
On the shore dimly seen through the midst of the
Where the foes naughty host in dread silence re-
What IS that which the breeze DER the towering
As it tfully blows, haf-conceals, half-discloses
Now it catches the gleam of the mornings first
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream!
IT'S the s.ar-spangIed banner, U! long may
Der the land of the free and the home OF the
brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washd out their foul footsteps
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of fight or the gloom of the grave
And the star-spangled banner in triumph
Ger the land of the free and the home Of
the brave.
o! thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the wars desola-
toni
Blessed with victory and peace, may the Heaven
rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserved us
nation!
Then conquer must when ur cause II is Just,
And this be our motto-'' In God is trust ~
And the star-spangled banner in triumph
shall wave,
Ger the land Of the free, and the home of
brave

to this state than it has taken hours for
this lightning express to cross the conti-
nent. Ninety days by ox-team was fast
travel The mails which came by steamer
occupied twenty-five days in transit.
The pony express, creation of the fer
tile brain of Ben Holiday, cut the time
down TO from twelve to fourteen days,
but that line only extended from st.
Joseph, Mo-, to Sacramento. The dis
tance traversed was one thousand nine
hundred miles, nearly all the way
through a trackless wilderness. Seventy
five horses were rode each way. Each
made twenty-five miles in heat. The
average speed day and night, including
stoppages, was seven miles an hour,
which was increased to ten or twelve
miles an hour on good ground, and post
age on letters beyond Salt Lake City
was charged at the rate of $5 per
half an ounce. The first pony ex-
press left st. Joseph, Mo-, at half
past p. IN, on April 8, 1860;
reached Salt Lake City on April 9, at
halfpast p. m; passed through Carson
on April u, at halfpast p. m. through
PlacerviIle, Agril Is, at three p. m, and
reached Sacramento on April 13, at five
p. m. Two mails were dispatched each
way per week. The arrival of the first
pony express rider at Sacramento and
San Francisco was day of jubilee.
Bells were pealed, bonfires were lighted,
bands of music paraded, songs, cheers
and congratulations rent the air, the
whole fire department turned out, a
terch- light procession filed through all
our principal streets, and general rejoic-
ings ensued. The pony express gave way
to the telegraph and the railroad.
