Tlie Restorative of Prof. 0. J. Wood for Restoring hair
pi’rtectiy and p. rmammth, has never vet had g. rival. v<d
ume after volume might bd given from all pints of the
world ami from the most intelligent to provelliat it is a
\tn frrj ludnndire: hut read the circular amly oo cannot
doubt.; read also the follow ing.
A£~ The Hair.—People have for centuries been afflicted
vvitli Ivald lirad- and tno only rem-ily, heretofore known.
I.a.- I'r.-u those üboinihatite wigs. l;y.a recent discovery of
Professor Wood these articles an? heing fast dispensed with,
hut a great many persons still jiatrouize tlmm, because
they have been so often imposed upon by Hair Tonics of
different kind.!. To all such persons we earnestly make
tile request, that they will try once again, for in Wood s
Restorative there is no gnch thing as fail. We know of a
lady who was bald, who nsed the article a short time, and
her head is nowr covered comjdrfcly 'wlth the tiniest and
most beautiful curls imaginable. We know of numerou
cascs where halr wos rapidly foiling out which it restored
in greater perfbctlonUiop .it eWr li«d been before.
_ It Is also trithont daubt one of the best articles for keen
ing, the tmir in aond condition, -’-making it shfl and glossy,
lyumvißS'•htfojrjiff. and ban proved itself the greatest ene
my l« all the lps that hair is heir to.
It U thb duty ofji-very otic to improve their;personal np
pearanee though sumo may differ In regard to tho ways of
doing it: but every one will admit that a beautiful head of
hair, cither in man or woman. Is an object much tobcdc
sir.-iL and tlWre are no means tiiat should be loft untried to
obtain such a c jncideratiou.— Wmian’s Advocate. Philo.

0. J, WOOD A CO.—Gents: As I have been engaged In
selling your Hair Restorative tho last season for one of
your local agents (R, M. Uackinson,) and having experl
t-nred tiiC’lieni-flcuil effects of it myself, I would like to ob
tain an agency for the State ;of Ohio or some State in the
W.-v't, should yon wish to make such an arrangement, rot I
am convinced UtereU noVitag equal to itintU United Slates,
for restoring the hair. I have been engaged in thd Drug
business Sir several years, arid liave sold various prepara
tions for the Itair, hut have found nothing that restores the
secretive organs or invigorates the scalp as well as yours,
being fully convinced that your restorative is wliat yon
represent it.to be. I would like to engage in the sale of it,
for lam satis tied it must sell. Yours truly.

ARKANSAS TRAVELER.
In the early settlement of Arkansas, a
traveler, after riding some eight or ten
n\iles without meeting a human being or
seeing a human came at length,
by a sudden turn of the wood-road, to a
miserable ‘shanty/ the centre of a small
clearing in what had originally been a
‘black-jack thicket,’ whence the only
sound that proceeds is the discordant mu
sic of a broken-winded fiddle, from the
troubled bowels of which the occupant
is laboriously extorting the monotonous
tune known as ‘ The Arkansas or R'aek
ensack Traveler/ Our traveler rides up
within a few feei of the door, which was
once the bed ftime of a cart body, now
covered with bear-skias, and hung upon
two big wooden binges. After much j
shouting, the inmate appears, fiddle in i
hand, and evidently ‘wrathy’ at being in- I
terrupted in th</exercise of his art. The
following colloquy ensues, the indefatiga
ble fiddler still flaying the first strain of
the ‘ Arkansas Traveler;’ which, in fact,
he continues at sudden intervals until the
dialogue, as'will'-be seen, is brought to an
unexpected conclusion. If this be not

Traveler can I find accom
modations ibr the night with you ?
Arkansas Ard3t 7-jNo sir, nary commo
dation. I
Traveler.—My dear sir, I have already
traveled thirty miles to-day, and neither
myself nor my horse has had a mouthful
to eat; w),iy caii’t you accommodate me
for to-night?
Ark. Artist.-|just ’cause it can’t he
did. We’re plum out of everything to
eat in the house.; Bill's gone to mill with
the last nubbin of corn on these premises,
and it’ll bo nigh onto the shank of to
morrO|Wfo.vcning afore he comes home, un
less somethin uncommon happens.
, Traveler.— You surely have something
that I can Teed io my horse ; even a few
P9tatoes would be better than no food.
Ark. Artist.— Stranger, our eadn .roots
gin out about a Week ago ; so your chance
is slim thar.
Traveler.—But, my friend, I must re
main with you, ahy way. I can’t go any
further, whether)! obtain anything to eat
or not. Yqu ceftainly will allow me the
shelter of your roof?
Ark. Artist.—it can’t be did, old boss.
You see, we’ve got only one dried hide
on the premises,: and me and the o.d wo
man occupies that; so whar’s your chance?
Traveler.—Allow me to hitch my horse
to that persimmbp tree, and with my sad
dle and Blanket I’ll make a bed in the
fence corner. ;
Ark. Artist.—Pitch your horSe.to that
’simmsn tree—ip a horn! Why, you
must he .a nateral fool, strung rl Don't
you see that’s uie and the old woman’s
oply qhancp iprifsimmon beer in the fall
of the year ? : If youri boss is so tarnal
hungry as you spy’he is, he’d girdle it-as
high up as he cpjtild reach’ afore morhin.
Hitch youf hps| to that tree ! ' T ’spect
not. Mo, jap, stranger, you don’t come
nary such a dodge as that I v .
Our irateier, seeing that he bad an
original io |deal , and being himself
an amateur performer upon the mjetra-*
ment to the so ardently
attached, thought ho would change ius
tactics and draw his determined hot-to-be
host out a little, before informing him of
[iNIXfePENDENT IN EVERYTHING.]
the fact that he, too, coaid play the 1 Ar
kansas Tiaveler,* which once being known,
he rightly conjectured would be apass
- port to his better graces.
Traveler.—-Well, friend, if I can’t stay,
how far is it to the next bouse?
Ark. Artist.—Ten miles, and you’ll
think them mighty long ones, too, afore
you get there. I came nigh onto forget
tin to tell you the big creek is up) the
bridge is carried off; there’s nary yearthly
chance to ford it; and if yer bound to
ctoss it, yer’ll hare to go about seven
miles up the stream, to old Dave Lody’s
puncheon bridge,, through one of the
biggest bamboo swamps ever you see. I
reckon tbe bridge is standin’ yet; 'twas
yesterday mornin, though one end had
started down stream about fifteen feet, or
sich a manner.
Traveler.—Friend, you seem communi
cative, and if it’s no offence, I’d like to
know what you do for a living.
Ark. Artist.—No offence on yearth,
stranger ; we just keep a grocery.
Traveler.—A grocery ! Where, in tbe
name of all that’s mercantile, do your
customers come from? ‘ Your nearest
neighbor is ten miles distant.
Ark. Artist.—The fact is, mo and the
old woman is the best customers yet; but
wc ’spect these diggins will improve, and,
in course, business will improve too.
How’ever,swe do suthing now, even. Me
and the old woman took the cart t’other
day, and went to town; we bort a bar’l of
whiskey; and arter we come home and
j’gin ,to count the balance on hand, we
j found thar warut but one solitary pica
yune left ; and as the old woman alius
j carries the puss, in coarse she had it.
W ell, I sot the bar’l agin one side of the
room, and shortly arter, the old woman
sez: ‘ Supposin yon tap your end of the
bar I,’ and I did; and she bought a drink
and paid me a picayune. Pretty soon. J
begun to get dry, and says I; ‘Old wo
man, spozen you tap your end of the
j bar II and she did; and then she sells me
a drink ; and the way that picayune has
traveled backards and for’ards over t lie
bung of that bar’l. is a caution tn them as
love ‘ red eye.' But, stranger, losses is
apt to come with every business; and me i
and the old woman has lost some in the j
grocery line; and I’ll tell you how 'twas.
The boy Bill, oldest, son, he see how
the lickor was goin, and he didn’t have
nary red to jine in the retail business; so
one night he crawls under the bouse and
taps the bar’l atwixt the cracks in the
puncheon floor; and I rally believe he’s
got more than me or tbe old woman ither;
the goad for nothin vagabond, to come
the ‘ gaiff over his nateral born parents;
its enuff to make a man sour agin all cre
ation ; that boy will be the ruination of us
yet. He takes to trickery as nateral as a
hungry possum to a hen roost Now.
stranger, what on yearth am I to do ? He
beats me ana the old woman entirely.
Traveler —lt would be difficult for me
to advise in regard to your son, as I havg
no family of my own. You say it is ten
miles to the next Louse; the big creek is
up; die bridge carried away; no possibil
ity of fording it, and seven miles through
a swamp to the only bridge in the vicini
ty ! This is rather- a gloomy prospect,
particularly as the sun is just down ; still
my curiosity is excited, and as you have
been playing only one part of t|ie ‘ Arkan
sas Traveler' ever since my arrival, ][
would like to know, before I go, why you
don’t play the tune through ..
Ark. Artist.—For one of the best rea
sons on yearth, old boss—l can’t do it. I
haint larnt the turn of that tchune, and
drat me if I believe I ever shall.
Traveler.—Give me your instrument,
and 111 see if I can play the turn for you.
Ark. Artist.—Look here, my friend, do
you play the turn of that tchune ?
Traveler.—l believe I can.
Ark. Artist.—'Lite, ’lite, old boss ! we
will find’a place for you in the cabin,
sure.
Old woman! (a ‘halloo!’ within the
shantee was the first indication the tra
veler had of any other human being on the
premises;) the stranger plays the turn of
the ‘ Hackensack Traveler.’ My friend,
hitch your boss to, the ’simmon tree, or
anywhere else you please. Bill ’ll be here
soon, and he’ll take keer of him. Old
woman, you call Sail and Nance up from
the spring; tell Nance to go into the
spring-house and cut off a good large-piece
of bear-steak,‘ to brile for the stranger’s
supper; tell Sal to knock over a chicken
or two, and get out some flour, and have
some flour-doiu’s and chicken fixen’s for
the s.ranger. (Bill just heaves in sight,
twenty-four hours* earlier than he was ex
pected a half hour before ) Bill, 0 Bill!
there’s a stranger here, and he plays the
tdro of the ‘ Hackensack Traveler;’ go to
the corn-crib and get a big punkiu, and
bring it to the house, so the stranger can
hftve somethin to‘sit oh, andi skin a tutor
’long with me and the old woman, while
the gals is gettin supper; and Bill, take
i the boss* and give him plenty of corn | no
nubbins. Bill; then rub him down well;
and then, when you como to 'the house*
Bring up a dried hide and a bar-skin for
the stranger to sleep on; and then, Bill,
I reckon, he’ll play the tarn of ‘ Rsckcn
-1 sack Traveler’ for us.
The punkin was brought/ thetsterr
were skinned and eaten; theturn-of the
‘Hackensack Traveler’ repeatedly
played, to abundant edification;and the
gals finally announced that topper was
ready; and although instead; of atpre
tea they had only ‘ aaxifax-tea-doins,’
without milk, yet the repast was one to be
long and gratefully remembered. The
traveler regained all night; tod was pi
lot®d safely over ‘big creek’? early the
next morning. Of a truth, *;muaio has

An Indian Romance.
The Philadelphia Presi has-!a long ro
mance about the Wyoming Valley, and a
young girl, Frances Slocum, who was sto
len away when very young by the In
dians. A letter was received by the Slocum
family, residing in Lancaster, from Mr.
Ewing of Logansport, Indiana, in which
he desired to know if any of the Slocum
family lived in that neighborhood. He
detailed in this letter his visit to an In
dian cabin, and his discovery of the long
lost Frances Slocum, who had been stolen
from her father’s family (Mr., Jonathan
Slocum) some fifty-eight years’ before by
the Indians, and by them carried into
captivity. Rev. Samuel Bowman, now
assistant Bishop of Pennsylvania, interes
ted himself very much in the matter. By
his advice and assistance, the Slocum
sought the little Frances sixty years after
captivity, and find her at the home of the
Miami Indians. They go into the cabin,
where they see an Indian womtfnvhaving
the appearance of seventy-five yeirs of age,
painted, jewelled, and dressed like an In
dian queen ; nothing but her hair and col
ored skin indicate her origin.
By the aid of an interpreter they con
verse, and are satisfied that thip is their
long lost sister. She has forgotten her
Christian name and the very language of
her race, though she responded to Pran
ces, and admitted in her Indufh dialect
that was her name. While her brothers I
and sisters sat sobbing and weepin" at
this strange revelation, the jtoOr Indian
woman was motionless aqd passionless.—
She had become one of another people;
she had been married, and reared two
daughters, both married, and living in all
the glory of an Indian cabin, deerskin
clothing, and cowhide head dresses.—
For Indians she bdlonged to a rich comn
nity, owned houses, could use the rifle,
bridle her own horses, mount a la Turk,
whenever she desired todoso. She could
sleep on the floor or on the bare earth,
wrapt in her blanket, as soundly as her
wealthy relatives slept in their beautiful
residence in the Valley of the Wyoming.
They tried to petsuade her to return, but
she refused to do so. She bad: always
lived with the Indians since her Capture;
they had always been kind to ber, and she
promised, to her late husband' , on his
deathbed that she would never leave the
Indian country
k When we aue Gone,—“Generation
after generation,” says a fine writer, “ have
felt as we feel, and their lives wore as ac
tive as oar own. They passed away like
a vapor, while Mature wore the isame as

manded her to be. The heavens shall be

In Italy the mourning was formerly.
whise for women, and brown for men.~
In China it is white; in Ethiopia, gray.-~
Each of these colors had orriginally its
mystical signification. White is the em*
b em of purity; celestial blue indicates the
space whore the soul ranges after earth';
yellow, or the' the tinge of dead, leaves,
exhibits death as the end of autumn, gray
represents the color of the earth, our eom

America, is an allusion to the night?
In England the sovereign never wears
black; he is clothed in dark purple as
mourning. Till the reign of Charles Vlil, •
white was the funeral garb in Frnnne>~~
The Emperor Leopold, who died in 1704,
used to suffer his beard to grow in diunrdtV
during the whole period of mourning. In
this he imitated the dews. The dow
ager-empresses never left off weeds, and
their apartments were hung -with black
until their death. The Chancellor of
Prance is the only person who ever wean
mourning. The brothers, nephews and
cousins of popes, never wear it; the hap* -
piness of having a pope in the family is
too great to allow them to be affected even
by his death. «
Bat the most remarkable of al)‘these
usages is, perhaps, that of the peoploldf
those ancient nations who dressed them-
selves as women when they lost their re

make them ashamed of their grief.
How THE HOONBMAN MONKEYSKItL
Snakes.- —The banyan tree is a invoiced
habitation of these monkeys, and among
its many branches they play strange ‘ an
tics, undisturbed by any foes excepting
snakes. These repUles are greatly dreaded
by the monkeys, and with good' reason.
However, it is said that the monkeys kill
more snakfes in proportion to then own
loss, and do so with a peculiarly refined
cruelty. A snake may be polled among
the branches of the banyan fast asleep;
when it is spied by an Hoonnnuuu
After satisfying himself that thereptilo
really is sleeping, the monkey steals npbn
it noiSelessly, grasps it by the neck, iean
it from the branch, and hurries tather
ground. He then runs to a flat stone, and
begins to grind down the reptiles hdad
upon it, grinning and chattering with do* s
light at the writings and useless strug
gles of the tortured snake, and ocoarion
ally inspecting His wprk to see how it is'
progressing. When he has nibbed away
the poor animal's jaws, so as to deprive it
of its poison fangs, he holds great re
joicings oyer Ms helpless ibe, and toainsg
it to the yonng monkeys, looks complsF
cently at its destruction.
