H The Hair.—People have for centuries been afflicted with bald heads and the onlr remedy, heretofore known, has been those Abominable wigs. By a recent discovery of Professor Wood these articles are being fast dispensed with, hut a great many persons still patronize them, because they havsheen so often imposed upon by Hair Tonics of different kinds. To all such persons we earnestly make the request, that they will try once again, for in Wood's Restorative there is no such thing as fail. We know of a lady who was bald, who used the article a short,lime, and her bead is now covered completely .with the tiniest and most beautiful etuis imaginable. W« know of numerune cases where hair was rapidly falling cut, which it restored in greater perfection than it eyer had been before. It is also without doubt oue of the best articles for keep ing theliair in good condition', making it soft and glossy, removing dandruff, and lias proved itself tho greatest ene my to aU the ills that hair is heir to. It is the duty of every one to improve their personal ap-. pCarahce though some mar differ in regard to the ways of doing It; but every oue will admit that a beautiful head of hair, either in man or woman, is an to be de sired, and there are no means that should be obtain such a considers!ion.—TiTtmcpi’s AdrocJß; Phlla.

THE POT OF GOLD; —OB, — THE WIDOW’S STRATAGEM Deacon Bancroft, though $ very good nihn in the main, and looked up to with respect by all the inhabitants of the little vdlage of .Centrcvillc, was rumored to have, in;'Yankee parlance, “ a pretty sharp eye to; the mtun chance” —a peculiarity from which deacons are not always exempt. In worldly matters he was decidedly well to do, having inherited a fine farm from his father, which was growing yearly mpre valuable. It might be supposed that under these circumstances, the deacon, who was ;fally able to do so, would have found a help-mate to share his house and nidne. Matrimony was to him in some measure a matter of money, and it was his firm resolve not to marry unless he could thereby en hance his worldly prosperity. Unhappily the little village of Centreville and the towns in the immediate vicinity contained feW who were qualified in this important particular, and of those there were proba bly none with whom the deacon’s su;: have prospered. .So it liappeucd that year after year pas sed away, until Deacon Bancroft was in the prime of life —forty five, or thereabouts— anfd still remained unmarried, and in all human probability likely to remain so. — But, in all human calculations of this kind, they reckon ill who leave widows out. Deacjon Bancroft’s nearest neighbor was a jvidofri •The widow Wells, who had passed through one matrimonial experience, was some three or four years younger that D. Bancroft She was still quite a buxom, comely, woman, as widows are apt to be. Unfortunately, the late Mr. Wells had not been able;to leave her sufficient to make hpr independent of the world. All that sbie possessed, was the small, old-fashioned house in which she lived, and a small amount of money which was insufficient to support her and a little son of seven, like wise to be enumerated in the schedule of her property, though hardly to be classed afriproductive—of anything but mischief. The widow was therefore obliged to take tldree or four boarders to eke out her scan tyancome, which of course imposed upon hdi considetable anxiety. Is it surprising that under these circum stances she should now and then have be thought herself of a second marriage as a m|tho4 of bettering her condition ? .Or agjjiin, need we esteem it a special wonder, if In her reflections upon this 'point, she should have cast her eyes upon her next door neighbor, Deacon Bancroft ? The deacon, as ,wc have already said, was in flourishing circumstances. He would be ab|e to maintain a wife in great comfort; an,d being one of the chief personages in th| village, could accord her a prominent social position. He was not especially handsome; or calculated to make a pro found impression upon the female heart— this was true—but he was of a good dis position, kind-hearted, and would no doubt make a very good sort of a husband.— Widows arc, 1 take it, (if aby dome the honor to read this story, I trust they will fofgivp the remark), less disposed toweigh sentimontlu a second alliance than a first and bp in |thb widow’s point of view. Dea con i|anci|oft was a very desirable match. Bo4® sagacious person, however, oh? served!-.thatit takes two to make 1 a match, a fact| to be seriously considered; for in the present case it fas exceedingly douht-r ful whether &o deacon, even if he!; had known ii&ifwats&lQ opinion of his nektneighlmr,wpuld inclined to bet namstoßamWoft, 1 [lndependent in everything.] unless, indeed, a suitable motive was brought to .bear upon. Here was a chance for finessing, where in widows are said, as a general thing, to be expert. One evening after a day of fatiguing labor, the widow Wells sat at the fire in the sitting room, with her feet reading upon the fender. “ If I am ever so situated as not to have to work so hard,” she murmured, “ I shall be happy. It’s a hard life, keeping board ers. If I was only as well off as Deacon Bancroft —” Still the widow kept up her thinking, and by and by her face brightened up. She had an,idea which she resolved to put into execution at the earliest practical moment. What it was the reader will dis cover in the sequel. “ Henry,” said she to her son tho next morning, “ I want you to stop at Deacon Bancroft’s as you go to schodl, and ask him if he will call and see me in the course of the morning or afternoon, just as he finds it most convenient.” Deacon Bancroft was a little surprised at the summons. However, about eleven o’clock he called in. The widow had got on the dinner and had leisure to sit down. She appeared a little embarrassed. “ Henry told me you would like to see me,” he commenced. „ “ Yes, Deacon Bancroft, I do, but I’m ! very much afraid you will think strange lof it—at least, of what I have to say to I you.” The deacon very politely promised not to be surprised, though at the same time his curiosity was visibly excited. li Suppose,” said the widow, casting down her eyes —“ mind, lam only suppo sing a case—suppose a person should find a pot full of gold pieces in their cellar, would the law have a right to touch it, or would it belong to the finder ?‘‘ 'The deacon pricked up his ears. “ A pot of gold pieces, widow ! Why, unquestionably, the law would have noth ing to do with it.” And the individual who had formerly owned the bouse, couldn’t come forward and claim it, could he, deacon ?” ‘ inquired the widow, further, wjth apparent anxiety. “No, madam, unquestionably not. When the house was disposed of, everything went with it, as a matter of course.” “l am glad to hear it, deacon. You won’t think strange of the question, hut it having occurred to my mind, and I thought I would like to have it satisfied. “ Certainly, widow, certainly,” said the deacon, abstractedly. | “ And deacon, as you are here, I hope i you wi!i siop to dinner with us. ft wiil ! be-rcadv punctually at twelve.” 1X * " Vv ell, no, said the deacort, rising ; I’m obliged to you ; but they’ll be ex pecting me home.” “ At any rate, deacon,” said the widow, taking a steaming mince pie from the oven, “you won’t object to taking a piece of my ■, mince pie. You must know, I rather pride myself on my mince pies.” The warm pie sent forth such a delicious , odor that the deacon was sorely tempted, and after saying, “ Well, really,” with the intention of refusing, he finished by say ing, “ On the .whole, I guess I will, as it looks so nice.” 1 { The widow was really a good cook, and the deacon ate with much gusto the gen erous slice which tho widow cut for him, and after a little more chatting upon un important subjects, withdrew in some ; mental perplexity. Was it possible, thought Ire, that the widow could really have found a pot of gold in her cellar ? She did not say so, to be sure, but why should she have shown so much anxiety to know as to the pro prietorship of treasure thus jfound, if she had not happened upon some ? To be sure, ,so far as his knowledge extended, there ! yra» jio oho who occupied the house who ; would be likely to lay up such an amount io t gold } but then the house was one bun ! dred and fifty years old, at least, and un doubtedly had had many Occupants of which he knew nothing. It might be, af ter all. The widow’s earnest desire to have him think it was only curiosity, like wise gave additional probability to the supposition. “I will wait and watch.” thought the deacon. f It so happened that deacon Bancroft was one of the Directors in a Savings In stitution, situated in the next town, and accordingly used-to ride over there once or twice a month, to attend meetings of (ho Board. On the fiext occasion of this "kind, the.. widow Wells sent oyer to know if he would carry her over with'him, as she had a little business to attend to there. x The request was readily granted. Ar riving in the village, Mrs. Wells requested to be set down at the Bank. •“Ha 1 ha!” thought the deacon j “ that means something.” , H® said, nothing, however, hnt.| deter mined to coine back, find put,; a$ he ..business she had at'the bank. 5 -SHift yddow. tripped into the office, pre tending to look very hbhohalent. ' ’ dollargold piece r'she inquired. “ With pleasure” was the reply. ü ßy the way,” saidsho, “the hank is in quite a flourishing condition, is it not?” “ None in the State on a better footing,” was the prompt response. “ You receive deposits, do you not ?" “ Yes, madam, we are receiving them every ■ “Do you receive as high as—five thou sand dollars ?” : u No,’ said the i cashier with some sur prise, «or rather we do not allow interest on so largo a sum. One thousand dollars is our limit. Did you kqow of any one who—” “It is of nojconsequence,” said the widow* hurriedly, ‘M only asked for curi osity. By the way; did you say how much you allows;! ou such deposits as came within your limits ?” “ Five per cent.ma’am.” “ Thank you, I only asked for curiosity. What a beautiful morning it is ?” And the widow tripped lightly out.—r Shortly afterwards ithe deacon entered. “ How’s Mr. Cashier ?” he in quired. “ About.as usual,” “ Had any new deposits lately ?” “ None of any magnitude.” “ I brought ovop a Indy this morning, who seemed to hoye business with you.” “ The”widow Wells.” “Yes.” te Ho yoh know,” asked the cashier, whether she had: any money left her, lately?” “ None that I V'now of,” said the dea con, pricking up his ears. “Why? Did she deposit any ?” “ No; but she inquired whether wc re ceived deposits as high as five thousand dollars.” “Indeed!" ejaculated the deacon.— “ Was that all slid came for ?” ho inqui red, a moment afterwards. “ No, she exchanged a gold piece for small, bills.” “ Ha !” pondered the deacon, reflect ively. “ Did she give any reason for her inquiries ?” “ No, she said she only asked from cu riosity.” The deacon left ' the bank in deep thought. He came to the conclusion that this curiosity only Veiled a deeper motive. He no longer entertained a doubt that the widow had found a pot of £old in her cel lar, and appearances seemed to indicate that its value was at least equal to five thousand dollars. The gold piece which she had exchanged at the bank appeared to conform this story. t “ I rather think,” said the deacon, com placently,” “ I can etc into a mill-stone about as far as most people,”—a state ment, the literal truth of which I defy any one to question, though to tho prime fact of people’s being able to see into a mill-stone at all, doubts have now and then intruded themselves upon my mind. The next Sunday the Widow Wells ap peared at church ins a new and stilish boa r net, which led to some remarks like these— “ How much vanity some people have to be sure !” “ How a woman-that has to keep boar ders for a living can afford to dash out with such a bonnet is more than I can tell! I should think she was old enough to know better.” ! x ° This last remark was made by a young lady just six months younger than the widow, ivhosc attempts to catch a husband ha '-'y •“ Boaily, I aqi a|nataed,” said the dea con, but ho passed; plate. “ The feet is/’ he sidd apologetically, “ your pies furo so nice D don’t know where to stop." “Boypuball these pies nice?’’ said the widow, modestly. “ I only call them common, I ban make minoe pies when 1 set out to, but this time I didn’t have such good luck as usual.” “ I shouldn’t want any better/’ said the deacon, emphatically. ■ ‘‘ Then I hope if you like them, you’ll drop into tea often.
