Hair.—People havu for centuries been afflicted with bald head* and the only remedy, heretofore known, has been those abominable wigs.

To nil such persons we earnestly 1 make the request. Hint they will try once again, for In Wood’s Restorative there is no such tiling as foil. ' We know of a lady who was held, who used the article a short time, and Iter head is now covered completely with the tiniest and mostbcnutiful curls Imaginable, we know of numerous caste where hair was rapidly filling out, which it restored In greater perfection than It overbad beeu before. It is also without doubt one of the best articles for keep ing the hair in good condition, making it Soft and giossy, removing dandruff, and has prove)) itself the greatest ene my to all the ills that lialr is heir Mkm.

While bis gentle wife, besidehlm, Fair&s acme immortal thought, Waa the model for a picture, Whiph be dreamed would place bta mm High among thejhinlcg planets, In the starry heaven of fame. - Never weary grew the artist, Though tho summer-time wns bright. And there came into hia chamber. Nothing of ita bloom and light; Only gazed he on the beauty . Of lifer faultless .face, and then, Patiently, along the cantata Bade lie splendor glow again. And when ahe, at last grown weary, Longing for tho sunlight's smile. Fondly clasped hie neck and whispered, WhUpered low, and sighed the while, 11 Love, rememberest though the even When we sat the spring beside.

"Fairer, e’en than thine, the pictures Summoned, by my fancy’s power, Of tho (peasant youths and maidens Lingering there this sunset hour; And I tain would see my brothers On the hill-side tend their sheep, And my,mother by the hoarth stone, Where she lulls the babe to sleep.” “ Aye,*’ ho answered, “ said I truly Of the scene beside the rlil, Thou hadst ril Its rai led beauties.

They soon af terwards sent a dog to bring their hats, one of which was smaller than the other. After several attempts to bring (hem both together in his mouth, the dog at last placed the smaller hat in the larger one, pressed it down with Kis foot, and thus Was able to bring diem both at the same time. — Jcne't Anecdotes of dogs- population of the United States increases one million a year, or two thou sand every day. ’• [INDEPENDENT IN KVEETXHINd.] 4 TALE OP ODD-FELLOWSHIP. A lodge of Odd Fellows in an. interior village, determining to have their hall re novated and cleaned up, employed an Irish woman rejoicing in the name of Biddy Kelly to do the job. The Guar dian of the Lodge, who had the super vision of the work, knowing the inquisu tive character of Mrs. K., procured a billy goat and placed him in a closet, which is kept as a reservoir for the “secret things," and when Mrs. Kelly presented herself with her brooms, brushes, tubs, and the usual paraphernial of house-cleaning, she found the Guardian in waiting to instruct her in the. duties she was to perform. “Now, madam," said be, “I will tell you what we want done, and bow we came to employ you. The brothers said it would be difficult to get any body to do the job, and not be meddling with the secrets in that little closer; we have lost the key and capnot find it to lock the door. I as sure them, however, that you could be depended upon." “Depinded upon," said she, “I guess I can; my poor dead and gone husband, who belonged to the Free Masons, or the Anti-Masons, X.don’t know which, used to tell me all the secrets of the consarus, and then he showed me the marks of the gridiron made when he was initiated, and 1 never told a living soul to this day ; if nobody troubles your closet to find your secrets till I do, they’ll lay there till they rot —they will." “I thought so,” said the Guardian, “and I want you to commence in the corner, and give the whole room a decent cleaning and as I have pledged my word and honor for your fidelity to promise, now don’t t o to that closet; ” and then he left the woman to herself. No sooner hod she heard the sound of his feet on the last step of the stairway than she exclaimed, “Don’t go- to the closet! why what on earth can there be in that closet! I'll warrant, there is a big gridiron, or some nonsense just like the Anti-Masons for all the world, I’ll be bound I will just take one peep, and nobody will be any wiser, as i can keep it to myself.” Suiting the action to the word, she stepped softly to the forbidden closet, and turned the button ; no sooner was the door opened, than “ Bah-ah-ah I” went the billy goat, with a spring to regain his liberty, w ich came near upsetting her ladyship. Both started for tl e door, but it was filled with the imnlemcnts of house-cleaning; all Were swept clear from their position down to the bottom of the stairs. The noise and confusion occasioned by such an unwonted disturbance, drew half the town to witness Mrs. Kelly’s efforts to get from under the goat and pile of pails, tubs, brushes, and brooms in tho street. Who should be the first on the spot but the waggish Guardian, who after releasing the goat, which was a cripple for life, and up lifting the other rubbish that bound the good woman to the earth, anxiously inquir ed if she had been taking the degrees. “ Taking the degrees ?” exclaimed Bid by; “If you call tumbling from tho top to the bottom of the stairs, with the devil jumping on yes, taking things by degrees, I has thim; and if yes frighten folks as yCs has me, and hurt ’em to boot, faix, I’ll warrant they’ll make as much noise as I did.” “ I hope you did not open the closet, madam?” said the door-keeper. “ Open the closet ? Eve ate the apple .she was forbidden I If you want a woman to do anything, tell her not to do it, and she’ll do it sure. I could not stand the temptation. The secret was there—l wanted to know it; I opened the door, and nut popped the tarnal critter, right in my face. I thought the devil had me, and I broke for the stairs with the devil but ting me every jump. I fell over the tub. and got down stairs as yon fonad us, all iu a heap.” “ But, madam,” said her tormentor, u you are in possession of the great secrets of the Order, and must go up and be initia ted sworn, and ride the goat in the regular way.” “ Regular way ?” exclaimed Mrs. Kelly, “ and do yon suppose I am coins near that tarnal place again, and ride that critter without a bridle or lady's saddle? ,No, never! I don’t want anything to do with the man that rides it. I’d look nice, perch ed on a billy goat, if it was a goat, wouldn’t I? No, never! rll never go nigh it again, or your ball pother; if I can pre vent it, no lady shall ever join the Odd Fellows. Why, I’d sooner be a Free Ma son, and he broiled , on a gridiron as long as fire could he kept under it, and pulled from cellar to garret, with a halter, in a pair of old breeches gnd slippers, Just as my ppojr dead and gone husband used to tell me they served Mm, and he lived over it too, but I never could live oyer snob another ride as 1 took to-day.” It is needless to add that Mrs. Kelly oonld not he induced to finish her job, and another woman, less overcome with" fear and, terror, ,wa§ selected to perform the duties she bad repudiated. . “ Iton't get above your business,” as the lady said to the shoemaker who pas measuring her ankle, in order to asoer tun the size of her foot. A False Alarm. A Washington paper givea the following account of a domestic “ what-d’ye-call it” which occurred in that city the other day: The old proverb is, that “it never rains bat it poors.” The killing of Key seems to have erased the silly pates of several very romaptio married women in this me tropolis. A few days after the Sickles tragedy, a married lady living in the south ern part of the city, or what is known as the island, informed her liege lord that she had been grossly insulted, the previous evening by Mr. B- , an,-acquaintance of the family. The incensed and outraged husband, with revolver iq haod, lushed to the office of the supposed offender and de manded satisfaction. “Satisfaction for'what?” asked the as tonished Mr- B. “ For having insulted my wife, sir, last evening,” responded the excited individual. “ Pray, sir, who dares charge me with ever having insulted your wife, by look, word, or action 1” again inquired Mr. B. “ The lady, herself, sir, makes the charge,” promptly rejoined‘the husband. “ With your permission, sir, I would be pleased to face my accuser, and hear her make the charge in my presence,” mildly remarked the imperturbable: Mr. B. “ You shall be gratified, sir; come, walk with me,” added the still exasperated hus band, at the same time returning his six shooter to bis pocket. But before giving tho closing scene, it may he well to inform the reader of the facts. On the evening previous, Mr. B. bad casually called at the house of a.friend, and there found the lady in question, with out au escort. At a late boar she prepared to return home, and Mr. B kindly tendered his services to see her safe to her door. The streets on the island are not highly improved, and on the night in question was very muddy. At one point the walk was quite intercepted by a mud hole, over which the lady and gentleman were compelled to pass. Ak night of old would probably have thrown down his mantle, over which the fair lady might have walked ; but our hero having no such appendage, proposed a spring, by which bis companion, with the assistance of his hand, cleared the mud at a single bound. Without further annoyance, they reach ed the lady’s residence in safety. The excited husband now-ushered Mr. B inUK his parlor, and: rang for his insulted wife who promptly reported«her self. Mr. B , looking the lady full in the face, asked : “ Madam, have I ever, by word look, or deed, offered you the slightest indignity or insult in my life ?” A breathless pause followed. The lady, after some hesitation, falterittgly answered: “ I thought yon squeezed my hand slightly, in helping me over the mud-hole, lost night.” The revolver "dropped, and after due apology to Mr. B , the mortified hus band turned to his romantic spouse and administered a rebuke, to avoid .the wit nessing of which Mr. B—■— hastily left the bouse and returned to his office, ru minating on the character of female wo men, with the sage conclusion, that at the present age of the world, it was not en tirely “ safe to beau other men’s wives.” Tahbbd and Feathered. —ln 1852, when the Whig Convention, yras,in session, first came news that General Scott, who was supposed to he a little :prond of dis play, particularly in plumage, was nomi nated for the presidency. Then came the news that William A. Graham, of North Carolina, the land of tar, pitch and turpen tine, was nominated to the vice-presidency. When this latter piece Of inteiigenco was conveyed to Mr. Webster, be was engaged shaving himself. He stopped, and having heard the news, remarked, in his slow, em phatic manner, as he diliheratoly wiped his razor: “ Well, Ido not see, then, hut that the Whig party have completely tar red and feathered themselves.” , Political Police —-A Columbus pa per gives an account of the drilling of the political police of that city ip this fashion: “ Attention, police I ]jSyea right—- mouths open—draw lager-~elevate lager —empty lager —mouths shot—-forward to next saloon —advance to vp|erß—election eer voters—treat votersr-fdrink lager— some more lager.” p . K9u It is in the power of every man to preserve his probity ; but ho man living has it in his power to say that lie ean pre serve his reputation, while there are so many evil tongues in the tforld, ready to blast the fair »t character, and so many open ears ready to receive their reports. •QT A young lady who lately gave an order to a milliner for a bonne t said, “You aro to make.it plain, but at-the same time smart, as I sit in a conspicuous place in .church.” • I9uA young woman Ohght, like an angel, to rataon the faults sho cannot comprehend ; end an elderly woman like a saint; because she has endured trials.- EDITORS and proprietors. ififftli Sei>Rnua Esvuoru—We have seen im. ew«M of a new self-ruling envelope about ta b* introduced ia the market by 0.
