Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create a new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
fearance. A. A. Hayes, Md, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and l
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

Shortly after our army had entered
Savannah number of clergyman call
ed upon Gen. Sherman, and among
other questions inquired if they could
hold divine service as usuual in the
churches.
Certainly" said the General; "why
not? We are especially directed by
the Army Regulations to pay due at
tention to divine service on the Lord S
day. My soldiers are all Christians;
certainly, open your churches; we will
all CO."
"But," said dignified, saintly-look-
ing individual, "some of us are Epis-
copalians."
"Well, that is good religion. No
objection to your religion; none what
ever" answered Sherman.
"But sir" said the clergyman. 1--WE
are III the habit of praying for the
President and Congress-"
"That's right; pray for them; no OBJ
lection to that score"
"Yes, Sir-but-we pray fOr-Presi-
dent DaUis and the Confederate Con-
gress."
"Oh!" said Sherman; "you want to
pray for JEFF. Davis, do you ?"
'Yes sir!" emphatically replied the
clergyman.
"All right" said Sherman, his brows
lowering, "pray for him, pray for the
deUit-pray for both of them-the one
needs it as much as the other. Is that
all, gentlemen ?''
That lcas at-that was enough.
They had failed to induce Gen. Sher-
man to make martyrs of them.

As professions teaching should be as
much hOuored as preaching. The
schoOlmaster should rank with the
minister. The profession ought never
to be chosen from mercenary motives
merely, or by any person except those
who enjoy teaching, and who deliber-
stely propose to be satisfied with a
modest but honorable living. 1t offers
no money prizes, and young persons of
vigOr and talent should be induced to
enter it by its stability and peaceful
ness, and by social consideration which
should be attached to it. Permanence
and tenure and security of income are
essential to give dignity and independ.
ence to the teachers position.
New legislation is urgently needed to
make the teachers Office, after suitable
periods of probation, tenable during
good behavior and efficiency. 1t would
at once appear that the money now
spent in salaries would go further, and
procure much better service. The eX-
pertinent would by no means be an un-
tried one. All the great organizations
for public instruction in Europe are
made upon this plan from top to bot.
tom and the whole of the higher and
large part of the secondary instruc
tion in this country have always been
organized upon this principle Presi.

POETRY
FIyDING THE sUHsET.

oh the beautiful home of the sunset,
Hung out on the western sky,
Where the days lay down their prigihtheS'
And bathing in splendor, dle'
Sweet friends in the home OF our childiioou'
The gentle and loving ones STAND
Gazing out as we enter lifes wlldWooo
In search of the sunset land
Full soon do the meadows grow broader,
And rougher the path where we stray,
Less frequent the cool, gushing fountains,
And the sunset seems further away.
And the friends who have journeyed with us
We Law with the smouldering dead;
They have reached the sunset before u.s.
And lonely the pathway we tread.
But the floods of molten glory
Which beam from the sunset land
Fill our hearts with restless longing
ON those beautiful shores to stand.
Our locks, once SAMMY and golden,
Are white as the drifting snow.
Our ewes have grown dim with their gazing
And our footsteps are feeble and slow.
As we near the eternal spfendor
We pause at q swelling stream;
We must cross ere reaching the hilltops
Which glow in the sunsets beam.
So, closing our eyes for moment
In the SUMS last dazzling ray,
We awake where glory dwelleth,
In land of perpetual day.

Some Inappropriate Answers.

In the English Parliament, the other
day, Mr.. Claiborne Hardy, being ques-
toned as to the overcrOwding of sol
diers in certain British forts, and the
number OF men and women in the
same room, gravely stated that the
quantity of cubic air allotted to each
person was in accordance with the
laws of modern science. The utter in
appropriateness of the answer is almost
as amusing as was the simplicity of the
Princess Borghese when, having stood
to Canova as what the schools OF art
would term an "undrsped model, aid
being asked by lady how she had
felt, she replied that she had not been
at all cold, as there was fire in the
room. II also suggests Buttons naive
answer when reproached by lady
friend for having dissected the corpse
of his sister-in-law. mon Dieu, mad

The First Cahtnet scandal

Edmund Randolph, Washington's
first Attorney General and afterward
Jefferson's successor to the State De-
partment, a poor man, fell into money
embarrassments. and the French Min
ister, NJ. Fauchet, wrote home that he
had personal reasons for believing Ran
dolph was rorruptible; the Secretary of
State had signified 10 him his readiness
to be bribed. The letter miscarried,
was printed at London, and Randolph
retired protesting his innocence. That
was the only Cabinet scandal of the
money sort until the FIoyed Thompson
/ episode in Buchanan's time.

How TO Get Early Tomatoes.

AS soon as your tomato plant has
made four leaves, pinch the top bud
from the stem, then take up the plant,
pinch off two inches from the top root
and transplant it in common box
frame, where the soil is rich and loamy.
The box will keep off the wind, and
plants sOwn and grown there eighteen
inches apart will produce fruit two
weeks sooner than the same planted in
the open ground. AZ mat of a few
boards, spread over the frame at night,
will keep them from frost, and is far
easier than going over field nightly
and setting boxes over each hill. As
soon as the plants have set fruit on two
blossoms of each branch, and the top
has grown two to four leaves, the
pinching off the ends of each branch
and top should be again put in prac-
tice.

Aunt Melissa was going to be mar
ried.
Kate and I couldn't understand il
at all. And we didn't quite like the
open and undisguised manner in
which Aunt Melissa triumphed over
us. For Aunt Melissa was forty, with
network of fine wrinkles around the
corner of her eyes, and figure like an
apple dumping. And Kate was tall,
imperial beauty, while I-well, Joe
Merton said was the prettfest girl in
Marchfield! And my looking glass
didn't altogether contradict the fact.
But you see, Aunt Melissa had neat
little bank account of her own, brace
of mortgages, and owned block OF
houses in the very heart of the village.
And poor papa lost all his money be-
fore he died, and left us to Aunt Me-
lissa's care, SO that We were poorer than
poverty.
Aunt Melissa, however, had always
been very kind to us in her way, but
this was over how. Mr.. Specklebury
thought two grown up girls ought to
earn their own living, and not be a
burden on their relatives. Mr.. Speck-
lebury wanted his dear Melissa all to
himself; and so poor Aunt Melissa who
saw all the world through Mr.. Speckle-
bury's spectacles, gave us notice to
quit.
'Of course, girls said she, Pm very
sorry to lose you; but wife's first obe-
dience is due to her husband
And Aunt Melissa blushed and look
ed down as she spoke.
But aunt cried Kate, what are we
to dor
And where are we to go?' asked /.
'Mr. Specklebury thinks -

good situations as sale5women in the
new brick store on Main street. Mr..
Specklebury is willing to speak a good
word for you to the proprietor, and
Il don't want any of Mr.. Speckle-
bury's good Words flashed out Kate.
'Katherine,' said Aunt Melissa, re-

'All the worse for you, Aunt Melis-

Manuring wheat i'm the Spring

A correspondent of the Rural Caro-
linian communicates the following in
regard to applying special fertilizers to
wheat:
Experience has proved that the best
time to manure wheat is just before it
begins its spring growth. If those who
have SOwed wheat will apply TO it at
once one hundred and fifty pounds of
sulphate OF ammonia, or two hundred
pounds of nitrate of soda, the product
week after the application, the color of
the plant will be changed to a dark
green, and it will give surprising evi-
dence of thrifty growth. The suiphate
of ammonia should be dissolved in
warm weather and poured upon suffi-
clent rotted stable manure or rich earth
to absorb it. AS soon as dry, it will be
ready for application. The nitrate of
soda is extremely soluble, and requires
merely to be reduced to fine state to
prepare it for application. After the
fertilizer is spread the wheat should be
narrowed. This narrowing of wheat is
equal to working of corn. A few
plants will be torn up, but not enough
to dc any injury worthy of considera-
ton. After narrowing, the wheat
should be rolled. This Will press the
torn plants back again in the soil, COM
pacting the surface, and will prepare
the ground for subsequent moving.
Clover seed may be sown, four quarts
to the acre, at the same time with the
application of the fertilizer. On all
clay soils, unless tits very dry season,
il will be urettV sure Of Sucd.pSs the
young plants being stimulated by the
fertilizer. After the wheat is cut,
bushel of plaster should be sown to the
acre, on the young clover. Nitrate of
soda costs four dollars per hundred
pounds, and sulphate ofammonia seven
dollars per hundred pounds, in market
Any fertilizer containing an equal
of ammonia with the substance
will answer an equal by
good purpose.

Four San Francisco boys organized
themselves into thieving association,
excluding another because he was only
twelve years old, they being about a
year older. The excluded boy, know
ing where they intended to do their
first robbery, preceded them and got
the bottle of vine they had planned to
steal. Then they took him in, fitted
up "robbers' cave" in a cellar, and
went out on predatory excursions
until, by selling their plunder, they had
81 40 in the treasury. At a business
meeting they quarreled so loudly about
a dividend that policeman overheard
them and they were arrested.
