This is a purely vegetable compound, prepared on strictlv
scientific principles, after the manner of the celebrated
Holland Professor, lioerhava: Because of its groat success
in the most of the European States, its introduction into
the United States was intended more especially for those

its truly wonderful medical virtues must bo acknowledged.
It is particularly recommended to those persons whoso
constitutions may have been impaired by the continuous
use of ardent spirits, or other forms of dissipation. Gene
rally instantaneous in effect, it finds Its way directly to the
seat of life, thrilling and quickening every nerve, raising
up tho drooping spirit, and, in fact, infusing new hearth

C ACTION.—The groat popularity sf this delightful re

The Restorative of Prof. O. J. Wood for Restoring hair
perfectly and permanent]}, has never yet had a rival, vol
ume after volume might be given from all parts of the
world and from the most intelligent to prove that it is a
perfect Restorative; but read tho circular aird yon cannot
doubt; read also the following.
AS'The Hair.—People have for centnrioa been afflicted
with bald beads and tne only remedy, heretofore known,
has been those, abominable! wigs. By a recent discovery of
Professor Wood these articles aro being flut dispensed with,
but a great many persons’ still patronize them, because
they have been so. often' imposed upon by Hair Tonics of
different kinds. To oil 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. Wc know of a
lady who was bald, who used the article a short time, and
her head is now covered completely with the tiniest and
most beautiful curls imaginable. We know of numerons
rases where hair was rapidly falling it restored
in greater perfection than it ever hod been before.
It is also without doubt one of the best ajtHes for keep
ing the hair in good condition, making it soft and glossy,
removing dandruff, and his proved Itself the greatest ene
my to All the ilia that hair is heir to.
It iti the duty of every one to improve their personal ap-
Searance though some may dlffer-in regard to the ways'of
olng it; but every oho will admit that a beautiful head'of
hair, either in man or. woman, is an object imieh tobo do
sired, and there are no means'that should bo left untried to
obtain such a consideration.— W/man't Advocate, Phtla.

VOW 1 BECAME JEALOUS.
BY MARY KYLE DALLAS
When we first moved to the house in
which W t now reside, I noticed one very
disagreeable peculiarity in relation te the
.adjoining block of houses. They had no
back-dodr yards, and consequently the
windows closely overlooked our gardens,
which were not very large themselves,
though they were pretty. When wo first
took possession of our new residence, the
windows directly opposite ours were closed,
and the! apartments oaten anted. I had
scarcely: got to rights arid fairly settled
down, ' however, before I perceived great
renovations and improvements were in pro
gress in these empty rooms. Painting
and papering, whitewashing and gilding,
scrubbing add, window-washing, were the
order off the’ day for a fortnight. And
then, after a short respite, white shades
were visible at the windows, and I knew
the new: tenants had moved in. I did
hope they iwere not inquisitive, disagreea
ble people.
For stune time I saw nohne but a quiet,
commonplace young man, with a very
shiny head of hair and an immalculate col
lar and cravat, who appeared now and then
at the window, and vanished instantane
ously. And I began to flatter myself that
we should not be annoyed at all.
One morning—it was a bright, still day,
and the atmosphere. was very oppressive.
I remember it well, for I had arisen with
sacH an Uncountable depression of spirits
as I had? never before experienced’, and
felt sure Bometliing distressing would hap
pen before night.
Well, | this morning, as I was running
down staiihs very early—before any one else
was Up iu the houses—l happened to glance
out of a Window at a stair-head, and there
at that pUrt of the house 1 have mentioned
sat a youhg lady. She was very pretty.
Her comlplcxion was extraordinarily clear,
and her hair was I magnificent. But 1 de
clare I npyer saw such a cold, saucy glance
as that which she. fixed directly on Urn
window pf our room. 1 did hope Psalter
wasn’t looking out.
breakfast Psalter jat down by the
door which opened into the garden, to read
the papejr. And all the time he sat there
that impUdent thing stared right Straight
at him without moving an inch. 1 thought
it strangp! that Psalter didn’t observe her.
All day (he shades were down, but (ifyou’ll
believe iap) nu sooner had thobUn set, than
there she aat again in' the same position
trying, as; I saw plainly, to make Palter
.take 1 notice of her. And the sty which
she was dressed—it was ridiculous.
Every day the same thing was repeated;
but 1 purposely avoided saying anything
to Psalter, as he had not seen her himself
lest he should look towards her odt cf ou
xi<»ity; apd then, of counto,' die Would
think heyvas overwhelmed with admiration'.
[INDEPENDENT IN EVEETTHINQ.]
Sister-in-law was quite a near neighbor
of ours, and ran in every day; and one
afternoon I causually mentioned the cir
cumstance to her as a good joke. Sister
in-law looked very serious'. -
“ You say Psalter has never noticed
her ?” she said.
“ Never once.” I replied.
“ Well, I must saj, Emma,” continued
she “ that is in itself very suspicious—
very suspicious indeed!”
“ Why, Jane!” 1 exclaimed, “ what can
you mean ? Suspicious?”
“ Reflect one moment, Emma. Would
it not have been only natural for Psalter
to remark, ‘That's a pretty girl,' or, ‘We
have a new neighbor,' or something ol the
sort ? Instead of which he has preserved
total silence on the subject,” said sister
in-law, emphasising her remarks with her
forefinger.
“ He has never seen her,” I replied in
dignantly. “ I told you so —”
“ Now, Emma, nothing could make me
believe that,” said Jane; “and 1 warn
you as a sister to watch that window well,
or you’ll repent it.”
I knew it was foolish, but I declare I
could not help thinking of what she had
said for hours afterwaads, and I caught
myself looking at the window fifty times
a day.
“ Where are you going ?’ ’ I inquired of
Psalter, as he left the house one morning
just after breakfast was on the table.
He gave me no definite answer, but
merely replying that he would be back in
five minutes, closed the door and departed.
As I awaited his return, I happened
to turn my eyes towards that window.—
There sat the woman, but her back was
towards me, and on the window-seat beside
her lay a hat so like Psalter’s. The longer
I looked -the more convinced I was that I
was not mistaken , and yet the idea was
so ridiculous, so preposterous, that I felt
I should never have husbanded it for one
moment had it not been for Jane’s sug
gestions. I drove the thought away, and
went into the house; but when Psalter
returned, I couldn’t help looking at the
window—and, oh ! dear me ! the hat had
disappeared.
I cried and scolded myself, and scolded
myself and cried all day long. In the af
ternoon I walked round the block for the
purpose of inspecting the building which
contained that window It was large, and
full of stores, and offices. On the ground
floor was a confectionary. I stepped in
and bought some oranges, and then in
quired of the proprietor, * who was a Ger
man, “who occupied the next floor ?”
“Oh! Mr. Schmit have all de floor,”
was the reply. “ I know not vat you say
in dis country—-makes many tings which
is not true, and der mouth and der head.”
What could he mean? A bright thought
struck me they were actors, that must be it.
“ Many tings which is not true —in der
mouth, in der head.” I had a clue at last;
theatrical people are always running off.
with other people’s wives and husbands,
and suing for divorces and intriguing gen
ei'ally, and over the world. Can any one
think of the reason ? Is the secret hidden
in the foot-light, or rolled up in the cur
tain ? Or is there something fatal to fidel
ity in the air of the green-room ? Certain
it is, that those who personate fictions he
roes constant to wives and lady-loves
through difficulty, and danger and,death;
and heroines who would sacrifice every
th! ng save virtue, draw few practical les
sons from their nightly representations of
thosj virtuous characters. This woman,
then, I dreaded, was an actress, who had
come to the determination of running
away with Psalter.
Oh, that hat! why had I seen it? Three
days passed away, and again Psalter went
out before breakfarst. 1 watch the win
dow—l couldn’t help it. dear, clear!
in fifteen minutes there was the hat stand
ing on the sill again! There was a handker
chief in the hat. The wind was strong’,
and every flow and then the edge fluttered
out, farther and farther, untifat last it fell
quite out of the hat, and floated down
upon the grass-plot. 1 ran and picked it
up—it was Psalter’s handkerchief, marked
with his name. I thought I should faint,
at first ; and then my spirits rose—l would
put on my things and walk straight into,
that room, where I was now sure he was
and had been pn the previous morning,— l
I could easily make a pretext of some
sort; no one. should know my. motive ex
cept Psalter. ! I tied my veil over my face,
and muffled myself in my duster, ikeeping
my tears fori the time to come. The stairs
were public, so I easily ascended to the
second floor without being seen. The
back door stood ajar. Oh I how I trembled
asT peeped in. There sat Psatler, and
there sat the lady, but Psalter was being 1
shampooed,, and the lady, divinely beauti
ful as ever, tvas made of was I I had been
jealous of a block— a hairdresser's sign I
I was far more foolish than poor sister-in
law the night we followed Tom to Brooklyn.
Just as I was retreating, one of the
establishment emerged rather hastily
from the dock I was Just leaving, and to
excuse my presence, I inquired die price
of a pair of false mustaches, much to bis
amazement, and beat a hasty retreat. /

Woman’s Love.
A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.
Six years ago, a young man just enter
ing life, under the influence of rum com
mitted a crime against society, was tried
in this city, convicted and sent to Wau
pun, where he served out his time behind
the prison bars. Before; his trial, a fair
girl had promised to link fortunes with
him, and cruel was the Ulow to her. But
she loved him. All through the six long
years did she wait and wait for the day of
his release. With a true woman’s heart,
she believed him innocent—innocent at
least before God, and like the magnet she
held on her steady way, her heart pointing
ever to the future. Long were the years
to him. Slow passed the hours. Seconds
were minutes—minutes hours —hours days
—days weeks —weeks months—months
years, and the years werdlike ages. Every
tolling of the prison bell struck deep to his
heart, and every sunset topk another thread
1 from his skin. Nor were the hours less
weary to her. Hope, that blessed angbl,
sat beside her day by day, and reposed on
her pillow by night. Some there were
who laughed at her holy love—a prisoner,
miles away. But little mattered it to her,.
Others might sneer —she remained true
to her heart and him. Others might laugh
—she wept. Others might point out a
man in prison garb, toiling away from
morn till night, with but: one star to guide
him She saw but the honest soul that
might be saved —or lost—aud woman that
she was, nerved herself td bear their gibes
and jeers. Blessed words came to him in
lonely cell—words of love —of
kindness —and stronger grew the heart of
him who had truly his better angel watch
ing over his unbroken future.. Each word
from her lightened the hours as they slow
ly went by, and larger grew the day on
which liberty was to come. Men visaed
him, and with careless word, or speaking
eye, threw into his cell a madden'ng
thought on which his soul must feed, and ,
tremblingly shrink to thfc darkest corner
of its living temple. Then a letter from
her would dash aside thp dark curtains,
and becken him on to the spot of sunshine
outside, and beyond his present reach
So' passed the years. Friends died, and
he wept over them. Tl*e sin was long
since more than atoned for, and at last the
little spot of sunshine crept to his cell, and
entering by the key-hole of the door, led
him forth into the bright ; rays of liberty.
He was conducted to the office of the pris
on-by McGrew, an,d a citizen’s dress in
place of a prison suit given unto him, and
led into the inner room, whore stood she
who years before had promised before God
to be bis. What a meeting! ’Tis not for
us to speak of it. On the evening train,
the two arrived in this city, and were by
one of our divines in this city joined in
marriage. We were witness to the cere
mony, and never shall forget it. Never
forget the eye. moistened With tears of hap
piness, nor the throbbing of the heart that
had so long waited and trusted. Saved! I
May the future be all the brighter for the
dark cloud that so long hling over it, and
true friends be ever ready to lend a help

in woman’s devotion, the more after
knowing the facts above stated. God bless
the true heart, wherever foudd. .

versed by a large artery, showing that it
was largely supplied with blood. The
tumor was connected to the ohild’s.oheek
by a peculiar caul-like membrane, jnerced
with holes, and its presence was a source
of constant irritation to the child, though
supported by the mother’s hand. How to
remove this huge tumor whithoutdestroy
ing the life of the child was the great sur
gical problem. The parents warned of
the danger, were yet extremely anxious to
have the frightful parasites taken off.—-
Dr. Pancoast, under whose charge the
patient hod beta placed, decided that the
use of the knife would result in a fatal
hemorrpago, and determined to divide the
the caul-like membrane by using a French
surgical instrument, the ecraseur, which,
by forcing down the skin, and bruising
the vessels thoroughly before the chain of
the instrument outs through the mass,
effectually prevents all f serious bleeding.
The operation was performed in praaanco
of an immense assemblage of mcdioxi men
students and others. 7 "
“ The child was placed under the influ
ence of ether, when all pulsation in the
parasite was observed to cease. ■ The in
strument being applied, the chain was ra

The old Story of the Fox and Grams,
with a Difference. —A friend
us this morning a scene in a school-room
'Thich ire think will do well to publish,
and is too good to keep. It is the cus
tom in the schools to read a moral lesson
each morning, when the teacher questions
the scholars on what has been read. Tie
day our friend visited the school, the les
son was in regard to ,thj pf fruit
and -wjw a sort of narrative) in which it
iras Stated, that a teacher had told his class
hot to touch the fruit which grew m a
neighboring orchard, but to wait until it
was perfectly ripe, and they sMdwll
have a share of it. They all disobeyed
the command with the rxcoptiohs of one
little girl—-she alone refrained from touch
ing the fruit. T"
The first question asked by the teacher
was ? “ Which! did right, the little girl, or
the others of the class V ’ The next ques
tion asked was —“ Why did not the little
girl also take fruit ?” This appeared to
puzzle the class, aqd for a long time there
was no one ready to answer.' At length
a little fellow at the bottom of the elan
held up his hand, which was equivalent
to saying that he thought ho could give
the answer. He was told to proceed—
when, he astonished the teacher and con
vulsed our friend by exclaiming—“ Pleath
sir, I geth she icath too little to reath the
fruit.
