And my heart with hope unknown.

THIS standard article is compound
ed with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and as
satisfactory as ever.
1t restores gray or faded hair to its
youthful color.
It removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. It gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
Ylgor, preventing badness, and maxi
Ing the hair grow thick and strong.
AS dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.

BEAUTY LIKE SUMNER FRUT.-
Beauty is as Summer fruits, which are
easy to corrupt, and cannot last; and,
for the most part, it makes a dissolute
youth, and an age little out of counte-
nance; but yet, certainly, again, if it
light WE'LL it maketh virtues shine, and
vices blush.--Lord Bacon.

Often and often, while passing
through the country, We have passed
farms whose history we could read at
glance. The door-yard fence had
disappeared-burnt up in shiftlessness
born of drink; the house was unpaint-
Ell and battered; broken panes of glass
with rags or old hats; the chimney
stood in tottering attitude; the doors
swung in creaking condition on one
hinge; the steps were unsteady like
their owner; everything was dissipa-
ted, decayed and cheerless. A single
look showed that its owner traded too
much at one shop-the rum-shop.
The spirit of thrift had been killed by
the spirit of the still. Fresh paint, re-
pairs, improvents, good cheer, beauty
gone for the farmers throat. Outside
matters were the same; the barnyards
were wretched stys; the doors were off,
the roofs leaky, the gates down, the
carts crazy, the tools broken, the fod-
der scarce, and the stock poor and
wretched. Neglect, cruelty, wastful-
ness, ruin-alI had come from drink.
The struggling and tumhled stone
walls, the rickety fences, the weed
grown fields, the sparse and half head
ell crops, the dying orchard, all said
| to the passer- BY, "Whiskey did il. -
Drink had given the plaster of a
mortgage instead of coating of fertil-
izer; sloth instead of labor, unthrift in
the place of care, and decentralization
in lieu of system. The farm was
drink-blighted, and advertised its con
dition as plainly as its owner did
when he came home from town. One
of the most impressive lectures, for
young farmers especially, is a good
| look at drunk ell farm.

Lightning Freaks.

One Of the most mysterious eases
that we have ever been called upon to
report came TO our knowledge to day.
The freaks of lightning are numerous
and strange, but when it cuts such ca
pers as it did in Eliza township, Mer-

are prepared to repeat with emphasis.
Truth is stranger than fiction" The
house.in which John Muhlenberg lived
was struck by lightning, apparently
at two opposite corners: the shingle.
and sheathing Of the roof are scattered
in every direction, distance of forty
or fifty yards. One end of the build
ing was torn loose from the rest Of
the building excepting the corner post,
by which ii is still held as with a

tiers, which were made of black jack
poles, are all in slivers. The plaster
ing was all removed excepting from
one side: the nails were drawn out oI
the rafters and joi-ts; the furniture
including stove and chairs, were tori
to pieces. On stand, near the sid,
of the house from which the plaster
ing was not removed, was a pin cush

it and driven into the pIastering 4

A relative Of 'Bardwell Slote" Flor
ence tells the story that years ago
when acting at the Winter Garden
Theatre, in New York. Florence one
morning took a young girl, who play
ed minor parts, into Broadway res
taurant for dinner. Beth were hun
gry. and they ordered plentiful sup
ply of food. When their appetites
were satisfied, Florence called for his
bill. and to his utter dismay, discover
ed that in changing his clothing in
the morning, he neglected to take the
money from his discarded pantlaoons.
He told the girl the fix he was in,
and asked her for loan. Mortified
and chagrined, she answered all she
had was just sufficient to pay her fare
home. The quickly excited restau-
rant keeper raved and stormed at
Florence, called him swindler, and
threatened to send for the police. At
this point short, stout old gentle
man stepped up to the proprietor and
firmly said: How dare you speak to
a gentleman i'm the way you have
donee His mistake is a natural one,
and such as might occur to most any
man. | am ashamed of you. I'll
dine no more in your house, or permit
NV friends to do so i'm the future.
Here, take this.' And he took
a $50 note from Il fat wallet, and
handed il to the discomfitted land
lord. Deduct the amount ofthe young
mans's bill. and return to me the
change" The proprietor's apologies
were unheeded. He handed the old
gentleman $3.50, and agained essayed
apologies. When in the street, Flor
ence handed his benefactor his profess
sional card, and asked the old gentle
mans name and address, adding that
he should certainly reimburse him.
The old gentlemen, beginning to smile,
said: That's all right, young man:
I've been trying to pass that counter
felt bank note all day."

BUSINESS
COLLEGE,
TELEGRAPH INSTITUTE.
The Larses in the West.

The large number of young men
who have no time or money to spend
upon studies that are not to be of prac-
teal financial value to them must,
from their necessities, enter at once
upon the the short way to successful
and useful business life. Business
Colleges have become a national ne
cessity. The best men of the country
recognize their useful mission and
patronize them. The student should
select the best institution. and the best
Il the one that presents the best course
Of instruction, has the best corps of
teachers and the best arranged rooms
for classification. The Davenport
Business Collegepresentst the following
SPECIAL ADVANTAGES:
The very large attendance and
profitable business of the College en-
ables the proprietors to secure the best
talent for teachers. They pay the
largest salaries of any Business Col.
lege In the West, and employ only
those teachers that command a high
place everywhere and are worthy OF IT.
The College rooms are fitted up in
substantial and elegant style with all
the modern Improvements expressly
for this College, and are probably the
best arranged rooms for Business Col
lege purposes in the West-and are not
surpassed anywhere.
The Boarding Club is in successful
operation and furnishes the student
with excellent board at prime cost.
The kitchen, dining room and table
furniture complete is furnished by the
college free of charge, cook employed,
groceries and provisions are bought at
wholesale, each student paying his
proportion of actual cost. In this way
good board and rooms, furnished and
taken care of, is obtained at cost of
about $3.50 to $3.50 per week.
Superiority of Penmanship Depart
ment. This department furnishes first
class facilities for preparing young
men to become good business penman,
or for acquiring thorough scientific
and practical knowledge of penman-
ship, business and ornamental, or TO
teach penmanship. Both of the pro-
prietors of the College are classed in
the Spencerian publications as adopts
in the Spencerian, which is the only
system that uniformly produces good
writer's, and is the standard system.
Our students are in demand as teach
ers of penmanship in other schools,
and frequently get situations as such
before completing the course.
Every department has professor in
charge as instructor, who is selected
with special reference to eminence al
ready achieved in that department.
We are confident that all these ad-
yantages, combined, are possessed by
no other school. They are considera-
tons which unite to influence the stu
dent to choose the Davenport Business
College AS the place for him to obtain
q practical Business Education.
Six hundred students during the
past year.

When Goldsmith, the poet, died in
IVA, the following announcement
appeared in one of the journals of the
time: "l773, April 4. Died, DIR. Oliver
Goldsmith. Deserted is the Village;
the Traveller hath laid him down to
rest; the Good-Natured Man is no
more; he Stoops but to Conquer; the
Vicar hath performed his sad Office; ii
is mournful lesson, from which the
Hermit may essay to meet the dread
tyrant with more than Greecian or
Roman fortitude."
