gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though hot 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 a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling 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 dandruff, which is often so un-
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.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

BelI,s Services as a Scout.

Washington dispatch to Boston Advertiser.
1t seems that Bell was originally
from Galesburg, ILL.,, and was a
member of the Nineteenth Illinois
Infantry. He volunteered to be-
come a spy for General Hurlburt
during the war, and went through
considerable danger and hardships
in the service. At one time he
went from Gen. Hurlburt through
Johnson's army TO Gen. Grant at
Vicksburg. He got into the conf
dence of johnson, and undertook
to carry a lot of percussion caps
from him to Pemberton in Vicks-
burg He came to Grants head
quarters with the caps, gave Grant
his dispatches from Hurlburt, show
ed HIM JohnsoH's dispatches to
Pembel ton, and after having damp
ened the caps so that they were
useless, he went on through the
lines to Pemberton in Vicksburg.
He remained there some days, drew
a map of the Notifications, which
ne concealed between the soles of
his boots, got some dispatches from
Pemberton to Johnson and started
or He delivered the Pemberton
dispatches and the map he made to
Gen. Grant and both proved very
useful. He was once seven months
in the reb-l army, and in connection
with Hurlburt ali the time. He
rose to be sergeant in the rebel
ranks. One of his characteristics
is his wonderful eyesight. 1t is
said that he can distinguish objects
at a distance that would be impos-
sible for other eyes unaided by tele-
scopes, He can read ordinary man
useript or newspaper print at a dis
lance of two yards, and this Won
derful faculty is very useful to him
in his business as detective. Since
the war Bell has been making
livelihood by Matchmaking and bor-
rowing money, being much of the
time in Government service.

The Old Woman.

Once it was "AIother," and it was
Mother, I'm hungry mother, put
up my dinner" and her loving
hands would spread the butter, and
sew on the great patch. heart brim
ming with affection for the impe
rious little curly pate that made her
50 many steps.
Now she is "the old woman" but
she did not think it would ever
come to that. She looked through
the future years and saw her boy
to manhood grown; and he stood
TRANSPORTED in the hight of her own
beautiful love. Never was there a
more noble son than he-honored
in the world and the staff of her de-
clining years.
Aye, lie was her support even
then, but she did not know it. She
never realized that it was her little
boy that gave her strength by daily
toil-that his slender form was all
that upheld her over the brink OF
dispair She only knew how she
loved the child, and felt that amidst
the mists of age his love would
bear her gently through its infrmi-
ties to the dark hall leading to the
light beyond.
But the son has forgotten the
mothers ministrations now. Adrift
from the moorings Of home, he is
cold, selfish, heartless, and "moth
er" has no sacred meaning to the
prodigal. She is the sold woman,
gray, wrinkled, lame and blind.

In Praise of American Girls.

The American girl has been so
much decried both at home and
abroad as "fast," cloud" over
dressed and selfasserhng mink, that
it is pleasant by way of change to
find somebody, who knows all about
it, frankly praising her and putting
her above her automatic and mar
ow-minded European sister, who
sits demurely at a ball in the sweet
simplicity of white muslin, and
plays wall flower and says Eyes"
and 81 think not" to her bored en-
tertainer, while her mama firts with
the beauX, or whirls about in the
German till the enamel shines on
her bare neck and her false front
slips to one side. Says our pane
gyrist, who writes from Paris and
therefore has right to be orac-
ular: "The American girl is power
in American society. She is not
forced to wait till she is married be
fore becoming stars at balls, and a
queen in the German. And after all
objections have been uttered, it must
be confessed that this is as it
should be. Youth is the time tor
pleasure. Eighteen has far more
business in a ballroom than has
sixty-eight. When the mother of
grown-up daughters goes prancing
around in n cotillion one cannot
help thinking that her home and
her children, and her possible grand
children might afford her more
profitable occupation. But when
the young girl, rosy, flushed and
radiant, fits past in the dance, no
humming- bird in the heart of a
flower, no butterfly soaring on the
sunshine, no kitten in chase after a
floating thistle-down, was ever more
prettIly or more naturally engaged,
nor more truly in its place.
And how charming they are, our
young compatriots, how fresh and
sweet, and rosily lovely. The pref
ty epithet of rosebud parties, so
lately in. vogue in New York, ex.tct-
ly expresses the effect of a bevy of
young American gir.s. Get togeth-
er one hundred of them and fifty
will be pretty, twenty five of them
viii be pleasing in person, five will
be plain and the remaining twenty
will be radiantly beautiful. Com
plexions at once delicate and bril-
liant, dainty features, graceful
forms, and the uniest of hands and
feet-such are the characteristics.
not merely Of American beauty, but
of American girlhood in general
We do not mean to say that there
are no shades TO this brilliant pict-
ure. All systems have their defects,
and when folly gets the upper hand,
liberty is not apt to degenerate into
