TIE STOPPING OF THE CLOCK.

Surprising falls the instantaneous calm,
The sudden silence in my chamber small;
/. starting, lift my head in half alarm
The clock has stopped-that's all.
The clock has stopped Yet why have 80 found
An instant feeling almost like dismay?
Why note its silence sooner than its sound?
For it has ticked all day.
So many a life beside nv own go on,
And such companionship unheeded keep;
Companionship scarce recognized till gone,
And lost in sudden sleep.
And 50 the blessings heaven daily grants
Are in their very commonness forgot?
We little heed what answereth our wants
Until it answers not.
A strangeness falleth on familiar ways,
As il some pulse were gone beyond recall
Something uiithought of, linked with all oul
DAYS

why We Are Bald.

I was talking the other day with
Sauerwein, the eminent and learned hair
dresser of Regent street, and whilst he
trimmed my poll he said several things
worth knowing. Here they are: BALD
ness, when not the consequence of old
age, is q disease, and it Is a far more ter
rible enemy to overcome than white
hair. No healthy. person should begin
to be bald till after fifty years of age.
and yet general lamentation arises of
young people. barely in their twenties,
losing their hair. Here, therefore, must
be some defect of constitution; some
disease of the hair, that should not exist.
kind of suffering, whether OF the mind or
body, frequently cause the hair to fall.
Too much study or thought. or applica-
ton of any kind, will have similar
effect. Women are less subject to bald
ness than their, brothers. Man works
more with his brains, generally speaking.
than women do. Hygenic precautions
may do much toward maintaining the
hair thick. knew OF man who kept his
hair thick, almost black, by never wear
ing hat all his life. At eighty he mar
ried third wife, and had third family
of children. For twenty years he never
drank anything but wine, without abus-
ing it. You must not expect, however,
| that your hair will never fall, even in
health. nor need you be dismayed when
| you see hair come off when brushing or
combing. Hair falls at certain seasons,
as dead leaves from trees, to make room
for new ones to grow. IF, however, you
see too many come off, and the fall con
tinues too long, then ont the hair as you
would faded plant it will grow
stronger. richer afterward. Frequent
washing in salt water is also recon
mended to prevent the hair from falling
and daily friction is good. ~ Paris

Don't Wait Too Long.

There are many things in life in which
it is dangerous to wait too long, II we
would accomplish that which we desire
and think most necessary. But there is
no one thing in which delays are so fatal
as in common coughs and colds. Many
thousand people go annually to untimely
graves by neglecting a simple, or at least
what they consider simple cough or
cold, untilIt has fastened its deadly fangs
on the lungs, and when once fairly seated
no power on earth has been able to re-
lease its hold. Now this dangerous enemy
to the human system can very easily be
driven away and expelled when taken in
time by liberal use Oft the remedies sold
at Saur's Drug and Medicine Store at pri-
ces which are within the reach OF every
body, and which are always sure to cure
when taken in time.
