LITTLE CHOICE BETWEEN THE TWO
CANDIDATES.

LITTLE CHOICE BETWEEN THE TWO
CANDIDATES.
When the major sentiment of an
elective body chooses sensualist for
responsible office, it declares that SEN
suality opposes no barrier to public
esteem. When it chooses dishonest
man, it declares that, in its Judgment.
successful dishonesty is compatible
with character which is worthy of
honor. 1t needs no words of ours to
point out to every reader that such a
declaration is one of the most insidious
and powerful influences that can exist
to undermine private character, es-
pecially among those whose character
is yet in a formative state. - We
have no sympathy with that feeling
which would make political capital out
of a candidates failings, or would put
bloOdhOunds on the track of all his
past private life. But, when his char
acter is before us, the considerations
which we have laid down appear to
us to be those which should influence
the christian citizen in his decision OF
the question of duty. And, where he
is satisfied as to present character, he
is bound to consider well the influence
of hOnOrIng those whose character has
been subject to previous serious re-
proach. We have only to say, in con
clusion, that whatever the facts as re-
CARDS particular candidates and mems
Judgments upon them, we regard a
lack of integrity as no less damning
sin than sensuality, and that in posi-
tiOns of administrative trust, whether
that of a bank president or the presi-
dent of the United States, one chose
direct mischief is greater, though its
indirect influence is not so cOrrupting
We cannot exalt too highly the virtue
of personal purity, nor too strongly
reprobate its disregard. But we be-
lieve it is false sentiment that makes
responsibility compatible with the
violation of the eighth commandment
but not with the violation of the
seventh. i Vermont Chronicle, Con-
gregatiOnal.

AYERS
HairVigOr

restores, with the gloss and freshness OF
youth, faded or gray hair to a natural. rich
brown color, or deep black rs may be desired.
By its use light or red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thickened, and badness often,
though not always, cured.
1t checks falling of the hair, and stimu-
lates weak and sickly growth to vigor. 1t
prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. As Ladies' Hair Dressing. the
VIGoR is unequalled; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy. and
silken in appearance, and inparts delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
MR. C. p. BRIcHER writes from kirby, o.,
JiLu B. 1852 " Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and in n short time | became
nearly bald. | used part of u bottle of
AYERS HAIR NIGOR, which stopped the fall

speak of it from my own experience. Its
use promptes the growth of new hair, and
makes it glossy and soft. The NIGoR is also
a sure cure for dandruif. Not within my

MIR. ANGUS FAIRBAIRN, leader OF the
celebrated " Fairbairn Family" of Scottish
Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass, FEB. 6,
1850 =" Ever since my hair began To give sill
very evidence of the change which heeting

VIGOR, and so have been able TO maintain
an appearance of youthfuness--a matter of
considerable consequence to ministers, ora
tors, actors, and in fact every one who lives
In the eyes of the public"
Mrs. o. a. PRESCOTT, writing from Is Elm
ST., ChdriesfOlCH. HTSS., IpIu II, 1882. says
"Two years ago about two+hirds Of my hair
came of. 1t thinned very rapidly, and was
fast growing bald. On using AYERS HAIR
VIGOR the falling Stonpcd and new growth
commenced, and in about a month my head
was completely covered with short hair. 1t
has continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. ! regularly used but one bottle
of the VIGoR, but now use IT occasionally as

We have hundreds Of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of AYERS HAIR VIGoR. 1t
needs but trial to convince the most skepti-

burglars entered j. Laing 81 Co.'s of

in frame building on North Main
street, and with a brace and drill,
sledge hammer and chisel, opeI ed
his safe and robbed it of
about $1,000, large quantity in
coin. They drilled a hole between the
combination lock and the handle and
then broke the lever. The safe is one
of Mosler, Bohmann Il Co.'s make
and medium-sized one. Messrs Laing
& Co. offer good reward for the cap
ture of the thieves and money. The
thieves entered the front door. 1t is
evident that there were three or four
of them, because the safe was sitting
next to the main street and next door

were working others were watching.
