When young man of Internationally

barrassed manner just what was coming,

William, suppose you have sought
this interview to tell me that you love
my daughter Isabel?"

"Well, William, how are you fixed?"
she sternly demanded. "Have you any

"N-not any,"
"Have you any wealth in bank? p
"Not cooper"
"Have you any bonds and mort

"Not one" he answered, as he con-

The inventors of Burnctt's Cocoaine know
ing that when the loss of hair occurs, it is gem
orally from that part of the head where tho
greatest heat il necessarily generated, and that
animal fats by their nature induce heat rather
than alleviate it-turned their attention and
pharmaceutical science toward vegetable oils,
as the basis of medcament to promote the
growth and preserve the beauty Of the hair.
The ole,tm cocus, or Cocoanut Oil, presented it.
self most strongly, as possessing many proper
ties peculiarly adapted for the purpose but its
odor was Objectionable, and its density Except
when exposed to heat) seemed for long time
to defy all efforts to render it available, for
popular use, in cooler climates. BY scientific
selection of other ingredients, those which will
chemically combine with the oil have been dis
covered, and they to ,ether have produced a
compound, which is unqualitedly pronounced
to be the best that has vet appeared.
In the form presented this oil is permanently
deodorized and held in combination which
peculiarly adapts it for the toilet; Burnett's
Cocoaine is unrivaled in delicacy and agreea-
b'eness-cooling in its nature,and possesses
such penetrating affinity for tho secretions of
the skin, that it is rapidly absorbed.
lis greatest efficacy is best secured by per-
feet CLEANSING, before its application of the hair
and scalp, under which circumstances this oil
allays irritation, removes all tendency TO dand-
ruff and invigorates the action of the capil
laries in the highest degree. It's effect upon
the glossiness and richness of the hair is such
as cannot be surpassed and it is offered to the
public in the firm belief that it only requires to
be known to supersede all other preparations.
We are confident that no one who will make a
trial of its efficacy will be willing to return to
the use of any other preparation.

Aristntle's Views of the Earth.

Aristotle, who lived in the fourth CEN
tury. B. c., and studied nature with
great earnestness and assiduity, held
many views concerning the earth that
were very reasonable for his time. let,
in the absence of facts, nothing was left
for him but to rely upon logic. He had
certain IDEAS of what is natural and what
is perfect, and from these he reasoned as
to what must be and therefore what is.
To the or estion whether the earth turns
or the heavens turn, he replies that the
earth is evidently in repose, not only be-
cause we see it to be SO, but because it
is necessity that it should be, that is,
because repose is natural to the earth.
If it be asked why the stars must move
around the earth, he replies that is natu-
raj that they should, because circle IS
the most perfect line, because it has no
ends and must therefore be described by
the perfect stars. That the earth is the
center of the universe, and is at rest, is
furthermore proved by Aristotle from
theological considerations; thus, every
thing which performs any act has been
made for the purpose of that act. Now
the work of God is Immortality; from
which it follows that all that is divine
must have an eternal motion. The
heavens Lave divine quality, and for
this reason they have a spherical shape
and move eternally in a circle. Now,
when body has circular motion one
part of il must remain at rest in the
center; The earth is in the center, and
therefore motionless.

Pleasant Bedrooms.

There is nothing more indicative Of
refinement and genuine culture in a
family than bright, cheerful and taste
fully decorated bed-chambers. Tasteful
decorations does not necessarily mean
expense, and it is possible to make n
chamber look very pretty at very small
outlay. Indeed, i'll many instances, no
outlay at all will be required beyond
what would be incurred under any cir
cumstances. The women of family,
especially, are aptto pass a good portion
of their time in their bed-chamber, and
in some households the sleeping apart
ments are used alike for sewing-rooms,
sitting-rooms and nurseries. 1t is worth
while to obtain all the innocent pleasure
we can find in this life, and there can
be no doubt that life is pleasanter if
most of it's hours are passed in cheerful
looking apartments.

A Scnfchman'S Heroic Sacrifice.

Roderick Mackenzie, n young gentle
man of the north of Scotland, nearly Of
the same age with Prince Charles, and
who strongly resembled him in person,
was one of the many who knew OF the
Pretendcr's retreats, while the British
government set Il price upon his head,
and the British soldiers hunted him
through tie realms of his fathers, and he
was one of the few who were permitted
to continue in his train, and assisted in
his numerous escapes. One day, while
the prince was sitting with his little
band of faithful friends, in Il highland
cottage, the alarm was given that troops
were closing around it. Escape was i'm.
possible, but he was forcibly carried by
the party into hiding place, and young
Mackenzie remained firm in his stead.
When the soldiers had burst the door he
rose and walked calmly up to them, say
ing: 81 know whom You want-there
stab the son of your king and he
threw his plaid Off his breast. Their
swords were instantly through his gal
liant heart They hacked off his head,
threw it into sack, and set off to pre-
sent it Il meet and acceptable offering to
their duke. At Edinburgh it was
thought proper to ascertain that it was
really the princes head, SO Robert Nor
rison, his barber, was sent for to identify
it. Painting with horror, the poor man
WAS shown this shocking spectacle.
After examining it, he became satisfied
that it was not the head of his master,
but he had thepresence of mind to con-
ceal his feelings, and said, that although
he was not able to swear to the identity
of the head, in that situation the RESENT
blance was SO strong no person could
doubt that it was the head of Prince
Charles. The evidence satisfied the
butchers for the time, and the fury Of
the pursuit abatipg, the prince escaped
to France. What his feelings were on
returning from his hiding place in the
hut, and finding the mangled body of
his friend, generous hearts may imagine,
but few would be able to describe.

Words OF Wisdom.

teacher.
Proud looks make foul work in fair
faces.
Fortune does not change men it only
unmasks them.
The difference between happiness and
wisdom il, TINT the man who thinks him.
self most happy is so, while he who
thinks himself the most wise is generally
the reverse.
There is no work of art which can do
greater honor to the talents and taste
of n married woman, and which she
ought more readily polish, than her
daughter
Say nothing respecting yourself, eithei
good, bad or Indifferent; nothing good,
for that is vanity nothing bad, for
that is abectation; nothing indifferent,
for that is silly.
They who, when about to marry, seek
their happiness in the mere gaining OF
fortune and personal beauty, evince n
heartless disposition, and their folly is
often punished in their success.
Straws swim upon the surface, but
pearls lie Mt the bottom. Snowy parts
strike every common eye, but solid
ones are only to be discovered by the
most accurate observers of the human
head and human heart.
Many persons when they find them
selves in danger of shipwreck in the
voyage of life, throw their darling vices
overheard, as other mariners do, only
to fish them up again after the storm is
over.
Avoid the companion who jests at
everything. Such people disparage, by
some ludicrous ass ociation, all objects
which are presented to their thoughts,
and thereby render themselves incapable
of any emotion which can either eleva,e
or soften them. They bring upon the
moral being an influence more whitening
than the blasts of the desert.
1t is a great misfortune to have fret
full disposition. 1t takes the fragrance
out of ones life, and leaves only weeds
where Il cheerful disposition would cause
flowers to bloom. The habit of fretting
is one that grows rapidly unless it be
sternly repressed; and the best way to
overcome it is to try always to look on
the cheerful side Of things.
Deliberate workers are those that ac-
complish the most work in given time,
and are less tired at the end of the day
than many who have not accomplished
half as much. The hurried worker has
often to do his work twice over, and
even then it is seldom done in the best
manner. either as to neatness or
durability. 1t is the deliberate and
measured expenditure of strength which
invigoratcs the constitution and builds
up the health.
