Solomon, that wisest of men, called
physical beauty jewel of gold. The
part it played in the middle ages was
even greater than at present. Woman,
whose loneliness so swayed man, was
at one time treated with something
like divine honor, the mistress Of the
CHER civilizing influence of the age.
For good or evil, 1t is woman who
fixes the tone of morals and diffuses
courage and courtesy as an accompa-
niment of her grace. Women who
fully appreciate how much of their
good appearance depends upon album
dant and healthful hair are invariably
enthusiastic advocates for the use of
Louisiana Creole Hair Restorer, a
preparation used by the most exacting
ladies of the land with the greatest
success. 1t cures dandruff, stops the
hair from falling out and makes it
grow. Ladies who find their hair not
sufficiently long, may easily acquire
luxuriant tresses by means of this
wonderful remedy. AS a dressing it
is unsurpassed. Price one dollar per
bottle. Mansfield Drug Company,

In every land and tongue,
Wherever man loves fellOw-man,
His praises will be sung.
All power and pelf that end in self
Are naught but vanity;
They crown themselves with immor.
telles
Who serve humanity.
How glorious the sight
The Ages all can see
He rises to the height
Of Gods eternal right
And sets four million free!
For centuries of bondage
And unrequited toll,
The judgments of the Lord are true
Our blood has drenched the soil.
But now success our arms will bless
The captive shall go free,
And Slavery's host with all it's boast
Go down in wars red sea.
Let Liberty's old bell
Awake the morning breeze
To all the good news tell
That not slave shall dwell
Between our ocean seas!
Dusk mothers, clasp your children,
And husbands, claim your wives;
The auction block has power no more
To separate your lives.
No more you'll tread the wine-press red
OfEgypt's cruelty;
The other side of Jordan's tide
Your heritage shall be.
Sing praises unto God,
A song of jubilee
Led through the sea dry-shod,
The wilderness all trod,
The promised land you see!
No longer SCOTS the Old World
At freedom in the New,
This New Years morn rounds out the
truth
The fathers had in view;
Our standard sheet is emblem meet
Of human liberty,
For all the souls beneath its folds
With freemen shall be free.
All hail the vision bright,
A people truly free
Where none can take by might
From others any right
They for themselves decree!
