HAIR REVIEWER

was tho first preparation perfectly adapted to

cessful rcstorer OF faded or gray hair TO lis
natural color, growth, and youthful beauty.
1t has had many imitators, but none have SO
fully met all tho requirements needful for
tho proper treatment OF tho hair and scalp.
HALLS HAIR RENEwER has steadily grown
In favor, and spread its fame and usefulness
to every quarter Of the globe. Its unparal-
lelcd success can be attributed to but ono
cause: the entire .|ul6inaent Of its promises.
The proprietors have often been surprised
at tho receipt Of orders from remote coun.
tries, where they had never made an effort for
Its introduction.
The use for n short time Of HALLS HAIR
REVIEWER wonderfully improves tho per-
sonal appearance. 1t cleanscs the scalp from
a,l impurities, cures all hun,ors, fever, and
dryness, and thus prevents badness. 1t
stimulates tho weakened glands, and enables
them to push forward a new and vigorous
growth. Tho effects Of this article are not
transient, like those of alcoholic prepara-
tions, but remain a long time, which makes
Its use matter Of economy.

Of Cherry Mountain, quite matter of in

\ few years ago Mrs. Bowles, lady re-
siding about mile from the scene of the
slide, wanted well dug near her house
The well was dug to great depth, but 10
water came to fill it, and the digger very
naturally came to the conclusion that no
spring was there Hc gave, however one
moro wrench with his crowbar, which

small aperture the crowbar slipped from his
hand. Down it went out of sight, as
though drawn by an invisible hand, for it
made no sound in falling. The man
procured lead pllnmct and attached to it
hundred feet Of rope. The plummet
sank the length of the rope, but found no
bottom. The ncighbors gathered round
and got excited. \ greater length Of rope
was attached to the plummct, the lead still
finding no bottom.
A ne shboriDs brook was then directed
from its course and turned into the well.
1t babbcd along into the well, and then
sank into silence. For three weeks the
little brook ran on its way, but it kept tho
secret Of the underground mystery No

paleozoic age or the tertiary period; no

whole thing ended by filling up with earth

crowbar to rcplacc the orc which went to
limbo so unexpectedly, but which still

thing look drear. The rooster roosteth
very low. the eobler gobleth weak, tho
hen doth not attempt to crow, the pig
doth loudly squeak; the shiv~ring COW
doth bow her back against the beating
storm, the horse stands close up to the
rack and whinnies for his corn. And
there, all me! the printers kids
with patched and threadbare clothes,
with fra'l physiques, like katydids, sit
round the l'alf-warm stove. Why
don't they run, and jump and play, as
other children do? Alas! if we the
