THIS standard article is compound

Its effects are as wonderful and as
satisfactory as ever.
1t restores gray or faded hair to its
youthful color.
1t removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. 1t 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
yigor, preventing badness, and maxi
ing the hair grow thick and strong.
AS a dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.

Bayard Taylor's Readiness With Words.

lfrom CongdOns RecoiIecHons.1
His desk was next to mine in the Office.
which made it convenient for me to an.
ply to him for general information. and
saved me the trouble of walking across
the room to consult an encyclopedias.
Happy the newspaper writer who has
such a well-informed associate at his
elbow! Mr.. Taylor was an infallible re-
source when one was at loss for the
right word, and his taste especially In
poetical diction, was entirely trust
worthy. Shall / repeat an instance of
it's exercise? AS I was submitting to it's
final revision my t*Carmen Seculare, -
for L wrote about the centennial ami
versary of the republic us SO many of the
verse makers, not to mention the real
poets, did, objection was made to the
word "flogs" in the line, "From where
the sun fogs up its golden steeds.". It
being determined, greatly against my
own Judgment, that the word should
come out, I wandered around in rather
a hopeless state asking everybody
what I should put in it's place.
Some were for 'Edrives;" others suggest
ed Fswhips;" but when I consulted Mr..
Taylor, he instantly said Fsgoads'' and
&c goads" it stands to-day-perhaps bet
ter word than t'flogs," because less
hackneyed and colloquial. This anec-
dote is related special y for the benefit of
those young ladies and gentlemen who
write with ease, and forget that easy
writing is usually, as Sheridan said,
" dreadfully hard reading They can
not have a better example than Mr..
Taylor. Of course, sometimes his works
are Of greater Importance than others;
some Of them have been forgotten, and
others are destined to be, for his early
productions are not to be compared with
the rlpened fruits of his middle age; but
always, from the beginning to the end,
he was painstaking, methodical, a neat
as well as dexterous literary laborer.
1 doubt if in any one Of his poems a
slovenly line or an intolerable rhyme can
be found.

THE STORY OF YVES.
A BRETON LEGEND.
CHAPTER II.
A PARTING,

Months had gone by, and here was
winter, with long, frosty nights, which
made early bedtime needful, for Wild
ow Perrik' 5 supply of homemade can
dies was slender. There was no time
to go to the bay now, for it was dark
before vespers were over; but all the
same Yves used to come and spend his
evenings with Liszen and her mother
and read to them out of the Life OF
St. Theresa or the Acts of ST. Fran
els
Tonight he came in earlier than
usual; but though Liszen got the
book down and laid it before his usual
seat. he took no notice; he went
across the long. dark room, which
served at once for kitchen, parlor, and
bed-place, and leaned against the man
telshelf. There was a little fire Oh
the open hearth, and over this swung
an iron pot, hung to. hook in the
chimney.
Yves turned so that the gleam OF
freight should not fall on his face
and leaned closer against the mantel
We'll" Madame Perrik spoke cheer
fully, what ails you, Yves? Are you
sick, my lad?"
Yves groaned. Eyes, I am sick, but
not in the body, mother. | am sick
with care and sorrow"
At the thought of sorrow to Yves
Liszen grew pale. The pretty pink
flush with which she had greeted hel
lover faded away; she pulled nervous
ly at her apron
But Madame Perrik was not so sym.
pathetic. She loved Yves dearly, but
she knew that he was easily overbornt
by a stronger will, and she thought ht
was suffering. from some oppression
which he ought to haye resisted.
Care and sorrow? ?-hey-day" she
laughed. "We shall have you wrink
led before your time, my man! Come
Yves, tell US what the care is? Car
killed cat, when the cat kept it t.
herself"
Il must tell you what has happened
whether | will or no" at his sa
voice Liszen's eyes filled with tears
but Yves kept his eyes fixed on tn
fire-"because there is no chance o
hiding it. The care is that Roic, m
master, has so little custom that h
can no longer afford to keep a work

be l5o feet high every time he gets into the pu..
pit. They all dodge it, or if there is one who
doesn't. he is long, lean, lightning-rod sort oil
man, who lives in his pulpit and has nothing
to do with common folks-and they have not
much to do with him.
God can forgive any man who Is penitent
He takes the good side of a man and develops
1t. Men try to save the old forms. 1 don't be-
lieve in medieval relics. Men say that advan-
tage Will be taken of what God thinks. Here
are men played on by all influences, urged on
by the stress of ambition; and is God going to
judge men by their belief in His liberty to pun
ish or not to punish? 1t is all baby-talk. God
says TO all who abandon evil, "I1l help you ~
The sacredness of man is subject that touch
es the deepest feeling of my nature. 1 am
bound to my kind. brood on the misery
and wretchedness of man-all who live and
throb with vital force are nv brethren. If the
human family is to be judged by value in the
world, the larger part might well be swept
away. You might kill hundred thousand
men in some parts of the world, and hundred
thousand squirrels in Oregon, and there would
be no difference, except that the skins of the
latter are worth something. One-half of men
live in such low condition that if they perished
they would not be missed. can't pretend that
the end comes when the race dies, and that the
only chance is in this life. can't pretend to
think that there is no onward march, no future
opportunity. There is more in Gods 1oye
than man has ever developed God gives such
value to man that it is crime to tread down
the lowest, who is the opprobrium and scoff of
his day. There is som ething in human nature
that moves the heart of God and won't let it
out of my sympathy
"Love that grows" in power and refinement
is scarce. God loves even His enemies. A man
like Christ would be the strongest sort of man
known in our day. There is nothing so want
ing as love. But men say If you want to be
saved, come, hop in the ark with all your old
clothes on, and go right along? Their idea OF
Heaven is hat it is like Yankee garret, full OF
all sorts of rubbish-if we judge by what we see
ofthe kind of material, though good enough to
make church here, and heirs of salvation
hereafter. The question must not be s'Do you
want to be saved?"- but "Do you want to be
safvable?" Men must bring all their strong
power into loving like Christ. No church can
propagate the Gospel by externals. Not one
has enough love. They do not love each other,
nor the denomination over the way, nor heret-
ical denominations. The general spirit of the
church is: "Do you belong to us?" eyes ~
"Bless you" do you belong to use" "No.''
damn YOU"
When the church is aglow with the power OF
love. and an electric influence goes from one to
another, infideity will be scorched and Will
die, or rather it will throw away its weapons
and embrace the church.

simple control of temper. 1t implies

it is inappropriate, who sneers at the

who disturbs in places of worship, the

He must be helped and controlled, but
self-help is the best help, and SELF
control is the best control There is
no nobler sight on earth than an indi-
vidual who is master Of himself. He
carries with him an air of dignifed,
controlled power that fascinates you
from the first. He is happy, for his
habits are we'll fixed, and he inspires
all who meet him to try to lift them
selves above themselves. These self
poised people have strong and violent
passions, but have them in subsection.
1t is not that we want people without
passions, but that we want them con-
trolled. You cannot help loving the
black-eyed, mischievous little boy, full
of tricks, better than the one who is
always sober, staid, little man, and

THE FAREWELL OF THE OLD YEAR.

When the moments of friendship are numbered.
How oft it appears
That the love which in laughter has slumbered
Awakes now in tears
We are friends that have iourneyed together
Long time you and |;
Through sunsh inc and stormier weather,
But the Old Year must die.
And awhile in your hearts will AWAKEN
bitter regret;
And the paths that your feet have forsaken
You cannot forget.
Yet pray you not to mourn my going,
Though we have been friends:
What am but one billow, whose flowing
Has touched shore, and ends?
And the tale of my joy and my
Lives but the trace
Of the waves, that the tides of the morrow
In turn shall efface.
Yet leave you, waves leave their treasures
OF coral and shell,
gift passing sorrows and pleasures,
Our friendship to tell.
leave you the friend ships, whose growing
Has been from my birth;
There is nought that the tide brings in flowing
Can equal their worth.
For as shells from the murmurs of ocean
Steal echoes that last,
So In friendShiptS stored the emotion
OF years that are past.
