white as cambria handkerchief,
her eyebrows and eyelashes retain
ing their natural color. After d
while the whltened hair fell of, and
was succeeded by new growth Of
gray. This case coming under the
observation of DIR. Erasmus Wilson,
shattered his unbelief in the posi-
bility of the sudden convention Of
the hair from dark color to snow
white. No man knows more about
the hair than DIR. Wilson; but he is
at a loss to explain the phenomenon
quite to his own satisfaction. The
whitening Of the hair wrought by
mental disturbance is sometimes on.
ly Of a partial nature. yexation Of
spirit gave Henry ofNavarre a parti-
colored moustache. An old writer
tells of an Irish captain going to de-
liver himself up to Lord Broghill,
the commander of the English for
ces, who being met on his way by
party of English soldiers, was made
prisoner and so apprehensive Of
being put to death before Lord Brog
hill could interfere in his behalf, that
the anxiety Of his mind turned some
of his locks quite white, while the
others remained of their original
reddish hue. Perhaps the curious
change was less annoying to its VIC
tim than that which befell an Ameri-
can girl, whose first intimation other
lovers falsity was the reading an ac-
count Of his marriage in q newspa-
per. After nights brooding over
the traitors perfdy, her looking
glass showed her that one side Of
her head was adorned with tresses
of golden brown but the other, alas !
was decked with locks more befit-
ting a grandma than maiden still

not so bad as was the case Of a
French girl, who, frightened by the
floor of her room giving way beneath
her, shed her hair so quickly that in

FADING.

I watched in the glad spring-tide
When buds were bursting forth,
The girl who should have been my bride.
The fairest gem ii earth
She faded like the lender leaves
When the frosty wind is north.
I watched her when the frosty golden
haze
Lay soft on bank and brae,
And in the summed of her days
She faded fast away
The rose died from out her cheeks
Like a sunset s flush in May.
At last, when Autumn s withered leaves
Lay sere upon the ground
The swallows long had left the caves,
And night was closing round
Her soul departed ere the dawn,
And her angel home she found.
When earth lay meath the early snow,
stood beside her grave
The funeral chant rang sad and slow
Throughout the ancient nave
mourned, but owned that God was just,
When He took back the soul He gave.
