That Waltz of Won Weber.

Gayly and gaylv rang the gaymus:c,
The bliihe, merry music of the harp and the
horn,
The mad. merry music that set u: dcncing,
Till over the midnight came stealing the
morn.
Down the great hall went waving the banners,
Waving and waving their red, white, and
As the sweet summer wind came blowing and
blowing
From the city's great garden, asleep in the
dew.
Under the flags as they 1oated and foated,
Under the arches and arches of flowers,
We two and we two fiOated and floated
Into the mystical midnight hours.
And just as the dawn came stealing and
The last Of those wild Weber values began;
/ can hear the soft notes now appealing and
And j catch the faint scent of the sandal
wood fan
That lay in your hand, your hand on my
shoulder,
AS down the great hall, away and away,
All under the flags and under the arches,
We danced ana we danced till the dawn of
the day
But why should dream DER this dreary old
ledger
In this counting room down n this dingy
Of that night or that morning, just there at
that dawning,
When our hearts beat in time to our fast
flying feet?
What it that brings me that scene of en-
chantmcnt,
So fragrant and fresh from out the dead
years,
That just for a moment I'd swear that the
music
Of Webcr's wild waltzes was still in my
ears?
What is it, indeed, in this dusty old alley,
in June?
What is it, indeed?-I laugh to confess it
hand organ grinding creaking old tune.
But somehow .or other ] caught in the
measure
That waltz Of Won Weber's and back it all
came.
That ght or that morning, just there at the
dawning,
When | danced my last dance with my first
and last flame
My first and my last! but who would believe
If, down in this dusty old alley to-day,
'TwiXt the talk about cotton, the markets
and money
| shou d suddenly turn in some moment
and say
That one memory only had left me lonely
And gray-bearded bachelor, dreaming of
Junes,
dusk to the dawnings,
Seemed set to the music of Weber's wild
tunes.

A Feminine Phenomenon.

The antagonists of modern advanced
education, ii there be any, should have
heard little lecture that a gentleman
gave in Lewiston, Me- The question
had arisen as to the tendency of mod
ern advanced education to create a
disgust for manual labor. The gentle
man told an anecdote. A Young lady
who is very we'll known in Lewiston
and Auburn, and who has had a iber-
al education in America, course of
study in German schools, and who has
since taught in some of the leading
schools in this State and others, came
home to her father farm this summer.
The hours hung rather heavily. Faith
er, your Office needs Singing" says
she one day. The next day the shing-
les were on the spot, and the young
lady proposed to have some fun and
combine it in a legitimate way with
solid work. She built the stagings
economically, ran the lines after Eu-
cid, and shingled the office zs neatly
and expeditiously as the village profess
sor of shingling himself could have
done. She pulled down the staging
and erected it again over the L to the
house, and, in spite of parental injunc-
ton, singled the L and a sIoping
she'd attached. She practiced music
for pleasure in the mean time, however,
and read German for a pastime.
Nothing" added the gentleman,
'.would be further from her own inclin-
alton than notoriety. "-LeWiston ole.

The Care of the Hair.

The hair is the covering of the roof
of ''the home of thought and palace of
the soul" Where badness, which
sometimes occurs in quite young per-
sons, is hereditary, it is doubtful if
anything can be done to prevent or
remedy it, Avoid ''restorativesn and
use pOmatums or oils upon the head.
A certain hair ''balm" was very
popular many years ago and did Won
ders, if the directions were followed.
The ''balm" was to be used night and
morning, first rubbing the scalp with
a stiff brush for five minutes before
applying the stuff The thorough use
of a moderately stiff brush will greatly
promote the health of the scalp and
prevent the falling of the hair without
a ''balmn or other preparation. The
hair should be occasionally washed,
and if there is much dandrutf, the volk
of an egg will be most efficient in re-
moving It. Work the egg with the fin
gers well into the hair, little at a
time, to bring it in contact with the
scalp; then wash it out thoroughly with
water, and the hair will be beautifully
clean and soft Avoid all shampooing
liquids; those used by BARRIERS are strong
potash solutions. They call it SALTS
of Wormwood" and SALTS of Tartar, -
and use it without knowing its real
nature 1t is very effective in cleaning.
but ruinCus 10 the hair. If the falling
of the hair is not prevented by thorough
brushing, some stimu ating application
may be made. Cantharides is most
commonly used. Half an ounce of the
tincture of cantharides added to quart
of bay rum will answer better than
most "'hair tonlcs.

influence of Woman's Society.

1t is better for you, says Ihackeray,
to pass an evening once or twice in
q lady's drawing-roOm, even though
the conversation be slow, and YOU
know the girl songs by heart, than at
the club, tavern or the pit of n theatre.
All amusemepts of youth to which vir-
tuous women are not admitted, rely on
it, are deleterious to their nature. All
men who avoid female society have
dull perceptions and are stupid, or have
gross tastes and revolt against what is
pure. Your club swaggerers VINO are
sucking the butts of billiard cues ali
night, call female society insipid. Po-
etry is insipid to a yOkel; beauty has
no charms for a blind man; music does
not please a poor beast who does not
know one tune from another; and as.
true epicure is hardly ever tired of wa
ter-souchy and brown bread and butter,
[ protest, [ can sit all night and talk to
a well-regulated woman about her girl
coming out, or her boy at Elton, and
liking the evenings entertainment.
One of the great benefits a man NAV
derive from woman's society IS, that he
is bound TO be respectful to them. The
habit is of great good to your moral
man. depend upon it. Our education
makes us the most eminently selfish
men in the world. We fight for our
selves, we push for ourselves, we yawn
for ourselves, we light our pipes, and
say we won't 90 out. We prefer our
selves and our ease; and the greatest
good that comes to man from a wo-
mans society is that be has to think OF
somebody Lesides himself, somebody to
whom he is bound TO be constantly at
tentiye and respectful.

New Ballot Boxes.

The statutes of Ohio provide that at
each election after the votes are coun-
ted, they shall be deposited with one of
the poll books and one of the tally
sheets in the ballot box, which shall be
locked up and the key shall be given
into the custody of the minority Judge,
and the ballot box shall remain locked
for thirty days. This is to guard against
meddling with the votes, so they may
be recounted in case of contest. Under
this law, Secs. 1857 aud 2997 of Revised
Statutes of Ohio, it will be necessary to
use in November other boxes than those
used in the October election, as less
than thirty days elapses between the
two elections. This matter should be
borne in mind and attended to in every
precinct.

The Scott Law Unconstitutional.

On Tuesday the Supreme Court of
Ohio declared the Scott Liquor Law
unconstitutional. Three Judges af-
firmed the decision and two dissented.
Thus one after another of the acts
passed by the celebrated and notorious
Republican Poker Legislature are
stricken from the statute books, for not
being in accordance with the Constitu-
ton of the State and enacted in a spirit
of hate and revenge. The acts of that
Legislature has cost the people of the
State millions of dollars, which might
have been saved to them by just and
careful legislation.

The Republican Deputy Marshals in
Cincinnati on election day numbered,
instead of 800, over $500. The number
first given out by the Republicans was
intended to deceive the people. They
feared to disclose the fact that so large a
number had been used. They feared
for the people to know that an army of
more than $500 roughs and murderers
had been set against the people. But
the issuing of certificate for the sum
of $40 to each of the horde shows that
the people are to be taxed over 5000
for one days intimidation and murder
and the violent stab at the liberties of
the people.--EGchdnge.
