all being sold.) while we might order a quantity from you.

PROF. 0. J. Woon—Dear Sir: Some time last summer
we were induced to use some of your Hair Restorative,
and its effects were so wonderful, We feel it our duty to
you and the afflicted, to report it.
Our little son's head for some time had been perfectly
covered with sores, and some called it scald head. The
hair almost entirely came off in consequence, when a
friend, seeing his sufferings, advised us to use your Rest°.
naive; we did so with little hope of success, but, to our
surprise, and that of all our friends, a - very few applica
ti:ms removed the disease enti-ely, and a new and luxu
riant crop of hair soon started out, and we can now say
that our boy has as healthy a scalp, and as luxuriant a
crop of hair as any other child. We can, therefore, and
do hereby recommend your Restorative, as a perfect re
medy for all diseases of the scalp and hair.
We are, yours respectfully,

PROT% 0. J. Woon—Dear Sir: I have used two bottles
of Professor Wood's Hair Restorative, and can truly say it
is the greatest discovery of the age for restoring and
changing the Hair. Before using it I was a man of sev
enty. Illy Hair has now attained its original color. You
can recommend it to the world without the least Rut..., as
my case Ns as one of the worst kind.
Yours respectfully.

A Beautiful Romance in Real Life
The New York correspondent of the New
Orleans Picayune, tells the following charm
ing romance, which was summed up in the
New York papers of Nov. 2d, in the follow
ing laconic style :
MARRIED.—On the Ist inst., Mr. Georg,e
Hubbard to Miss Elizabeth Bleecker Had
den. •
That is the test. The sermon written out
is as follows :
Some years ago there lived in Boston a young
man, of one of the best families in the city,
handsome, intelligent, well educated, of agree
able manners and address, and exceedingly
popular with all who knew him. Still he
was more generally known as a "fast" young
man, and noted for his extravagance in the
expenditure of money, his disregard for
those conventionalities and moralities of
which society requires the observance of all
within its pale. The result of such a career
need not be described as it is seen every day
in great cities, happening in despite of the
imprudent. The last chance .that seemed to
he left,for the reinstatement of the subject
of our story in the good opinion of his friends,
of himself, and of the world, was a voy
age in some responsible capacity that should
test the sincerity of his desire to redeem him
self.
By the aid of his friends he procured such
an opportunity, and left his native city as
the commander of a merchant vessel, bound
on a long and somewhat hazardous voyage.
In the course of it he found himself among
the Fejee Islands, and having occasion to go
ashore on one of them, he visited the rude
dwelling of a native chief, who entertained
him hospitably, and as he was about to de
part, requested him to pray to the Christian's
God with and for that savage family.
Here was a dillemma. The attitude and
act of prayer had long been strange to the
youth, and he was not prepared for such a
request; and in default of ability to comply
with it, the Fejee"Chief (who - had probably
been visited and taught by some wandering
missionary who had casually landed upon
that Island) raised his voice in prayer, while
the native of a Christian, and civilized hued,
himself unused to devotion, stood by and
listened! Was not this a striking scene
But mark the result. Our young sailor re
turned to the ship, and in due course of time
to his home. Hastening to his brother, a cler
gyman
of .the Episcopal Church, residing
in the neighborhood, he told him the story of
the prayer he heard put up by a savage Islan
der, in that far off distant ocean, and confes
sed to him that that prayer had been follow
ed by an answering effect, in the conversion
of him who was so strangely called upon to
listen to it. He now desired to redeem the
time he had so sadly wasted, and to devote
himself actively, and in the most self-sacri
ficing way, to the cause of religion. Steadi
ly adhering to his purpose, ho became a
church member, a candidate for the orders
in the church, and an accepted missionary
to Africa, whither he is about to go, under
the auspices of the Foreign Missionary Com
mittee of the Protestant Episcopal Church.—
But not alone.

The incident of to-day, to which I refer
red in the commencement of my story, was
the following.:--
' The services of the day being finished at
Trinity Church, that suberb and spacious
temple was almost immediately filled to over
flowing by a crowd of expectant spectators
of a most interesting scene. The clergyman
alluded to in my narrative came in and took
his place in the chancel. The front portals of
the church were thrown open, and a bridal
party entered and advanced to the altar,
where a fair young
,bride (the daughter of
one of the officiating minister's most respec
table parishoners) was united in wedlock to
the hero (for is he not hero ?) of my narra
tive ; whose labors as a missionary of Chris
tianity, she has devoted herself to share with
him.

been seen frequently . by the people. It is
very wild and strong. It was once seen in a

and fled, bounding like a deer. It walks up

THE VOYAGE, OF LIFE.
I=
Sailing down the stream of time--
Looking back to view the shore,
Where my early years began,
To retrace them nevermore:
Often by the way I've lost,
Little barques that sailed with me,
Some were often tempest-tossed,
Others sank into the sea.
Eyes that beamed on me so bright
When I started on life's main;
Closed, while yet 'twas morning light,
Closed, and opened ue'er again.
Hopes, that sparkled in the sun,
Diamond-like on every wave,
Sank when billows burst upon—
Sank, and only left a—grave I
Still my little barque is sailing,
Down the rapid stream of time;
Sails are torn, and timlwrs failing—
:Halting for another clime.
Hangs a rainbow over head,
'Mid the clouds a golden bar;
And on ocean's dark - some Led,
Brightly glows.the evening star
And an angel, gathering up
Hopes long buried in the sea,
'When I reach the heavenly port,
Will restore them an to me.
About thirty years ago, in the now flourish
ing city of Hannibal, on the Mississippi
river, there were but few huts belonging to
some hardy "squatter," and such a thing. as
a steamboat was considered quite a. sight,
the following incident occurred :
A tall brawny woodsman stood leaning
against a tree which stood upon the bank of
the river, looking at some approaching ob
ject, which our reader would have readily
discovered to have been a steamboat.
Now, among the many passengers on this
boat, both male and female, was a spruce
young dandy, with a killing moustache, &e.,
who seemed bent on making an impression
on the hearts of the young ladies on board,
and, to that end, he must perform some he
roic deed. Observing our squatter friend,
he imagined this to be a fine opportunity to
bring himself into notice—so, stepping into
the cabin, he said: .
"Ladies, if you want to enjoy a good laugh,
step out on the guards. I intend to frighten
that gentlemen into fits, who stands on the
bank l"
The ladies complied with the request, and
our dandy drew from his bosom a formida
ble bowie-knife and thrust it into his belt ;
then taking a large horse-pistol in each hand,
he seemed satisfied that all was right. Thus
equipped, he strode on with an air which
seemed to say : "the hopes of a nation de
pend on me I"
Marching up to the woodsman, he ex
claimed : " Found you at last, have I ? You
arc the man I've been lookinc , for these three
weeks. Say your prayers I" he continued,
presenting his pistols, "you'll make a capital
barn-door, and I'll drill the key-hole, my
self 1"
The squatter calmly surveyed him a mo
ment, then drawing back a step, he planted
his fist directly between the eyes of his an
tagonist, who in a moment was floundering
in the - turbid waters of the Mississippi.
Every passenger, by this time, had collec
ted on the guards, and the shout that DOW
went up from the crowd, speedily restored
the crest-fallen hero to his senses, and' as he
was sneaking off toward the boat, he was ac
costed by his conqueror :
" I say, you, next time you come around
drillin' key-holes, don't forget your old ac
quaintances 1"
The ladies unanimously voted the knife
and pistols to the victor.
Do you suppose a man to know himself;
that he comes into this world on no other• er
rand but to rise out the vanities of time into
the riches of eternity ; do you suppose him
to govern his inward thoughts and outward
actions by this view of himself; and then to
him every day has lost all its evil, prosperity
and adversity have no difference, because he
receives and uses them both in the same
spirit ; life and death are equally welcome,
because equally parts of his way to eternity.
For poor and miserable as this life is, we
have all of us free access to all that is great
and good and happy; and carry within our
selves a key to all the treasures that Heaven
has to bestow upon us. We starve in the
midst of plenty ; groan under infirmatics
with the remedy in our own hand; live and
die without knowing and feeling anything of
the One, only good, while we have in our
power to know and enjoy it in as great a re
ality, as we know and feel the power of this
world over us; for heaven is as near to our
souls as this world is to our bodies ; and we
are created, we are redeemed, to have our
conversation in it. God, the only good of all
intelligent natures, is not an absent or distant
God, but is more present in and to our souls
than to our own bodies; and we are strangers
to heaven, and without God in the world, for
this only reason, because we are void of that
spirit of prayer which alone can, and never
fails to unite us with the One, only good, and
to open heaven and the kingdom of God
within us.
A root set in the finest soil, and in the best
climate, and blessed with all that sun, air
and rain can do for it, is not in so sure a
way of its growth to perfection, as every
man may be who aspires after all that
which God is ready and infinately desirous
to give him. For the sun meets not the
springing bud that stretches toward him with
half that sympathy as God, the source of all
Good communicates himself to the soul that
longs to partake of him. We are all of us by
birth the offspring of God, more nearly rela
ted to him than, we are to one another; for in
him we live, and move, and have our being.

,tvu , LOOK our LADIES !--it is currently
reported that the various State Legislatures
about. to commence their sessions, will be
urged by a strong corps of lobby men, to re
enact a law introduced in the English Parlia
ment, in the year 1770, which ran as follows:
"That all women, of whatever age, rank,
profession or degree, whether virgins, wives,
or widows . , that shall, from and after such act,
impose upon, seduce, and betray into matri
mony, any of his majesty's male subjects by

teeth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron stays,
hoops, high heeled shoes, bolstered hips,
shall incur the penalty of the law now in

DECIDEDLY CooL.—An Irishman, driven to
desperation by the stringency of the money
market and high price of provisions, procured
a pistol and took to the road. Meeting a
traveller, he stopped him with, "your money
or your life?" Seeing that Pat was green, he
said "I tell you what I'll do. I'll give you
all my money for that pistol." "Agreed."
Pat received the money and handed over
the pistol. "Now," said the traveller, "hand
back that money, or I'll blow your brains out."
"Blaze away, my hearty" said Pat, "divil
dhrop of powthor there's in it."

Our Relation to God
, -
In the year 1849, a young man, who was
rich, and engaged in a lucrative business in
Cincinnati, became "enamored of a beautiful
and amiable girl—the daughter, by the way,
of wealthy parents, and after a brief court
ship, married her. He loved her dearly.—
She loved him dearly. A fortune of happi
ness seemed in store for them,; but evil days
came, and after a brief butviolent struggle
with fortune, the young man became bank
rupt. He was left without a dollar, but not
without a hope. The, gold mines in Califor
ma Were open to the adventurous and to -the
industrious. He would leave his beautiful
wife and seek its glittering shores, -where he
would remain until his fallen fortunes were
revived. The resolution once taken'was soon
executed. He came to California—but the
cloud still hung over him. He was active,
enterprising and persevering; yet, while
others around him were gathering the golden
harvest in abundance, his every object failed.
For eight years he continued thus. He be
came sick, weary and dishearteend, but his
pride would not allow him to write home for
assistance. He was at last reduced to sell
newspapers upon the street for a living.
A few weeks ago he was at Folsom street
wharf, upon the arrival of the mail steamer,
and among the passengers who came on
shore, he caught a glimpse of a richly dressed
lady whom he thought he knew. He follow
ed her to a hotel, got a fair view, and recog
nized her as his wife whom he had not seen
for eight years. He was poorly dressed, but
his affection _conquered his pride, and he im
mediately made himself known to her. The
recognition was followed by a beautiful exhi
bition of unabating and unfaltering love.—
The lady's parents had died, leaving her an
heiress of great wealth. She had not heard
of her husband for eight years, and fearing
for his safety, she resolved to visit this State
and make enquiries for herself. The lady
closed her conversation with her husband by
putting her arms about his neck, and saying,
" Now, dear George, we can go home and -be
happy as we used to be." They did go home
on the steamer which left here last Monday.

A late number of the Parkersburg Gazette
talks as follows to its subscribers, who seem
to forget that in such times as these, when
business is dull and expenses high, publish
ers need every dollar due them :
To Wnom ✓ 1T MAY CONCERN.—The fact
that the present proprietors of this paper,
commenced its publication without any great
amount of cash, but relied upon the prompt
ness of its friends in paying up, is well
known. Many of those friends have come
forward and helped us along with the
amount of their indebtedness ; but a great
many have allowed their subscription to run
on, have let their job work and advertising
accounts remain unsettled so long, that one
of two alternatives is alone left to us—either
to collect by some way, the money due to us,
or close the office.
Printers cannot live on air and promises,
any more than other folks—common opinion
to the contrary notwithstanding. The hands
working for the editor must be paid, the pa
per maker's bill must be paid, the ink and
type with which we print, must be paid for,
the tailor, the farmer, the butcher, the hatter
—everybody must be paid, or we must go
naked and starve. As cold weather is set
ting in, we do not wish to go naked ; as our
stomachs naturally call for food, we do not
feel inclined to turn a deaf ear to the cry ;
and - as creditors are becoming exceedingly
clamorous for that "little balance," we do
not wish to be sold out to justify their de
mands when so many are owing us.
Having dunned, dunned, dunned, until we
have become tired of it, and having many
liabilities which must be met soon,. we must
earnestly request our friends to come for
ward and aid us in this, our hour of need.—
If it is the desire of the Gazelle patrons for
the paper to continue they must help us.—
If those who are indebted to the office would
pay up immediately, we could get along.—
It is impossible to carry on business without
money. Sincerely, we hope these few re
marks will arouse the attention of delin
quents to their duty.
The learned Le Clerc tells us that while he
was complying his harmonys he was so
struck with admiration in the eloquent dis
course of Jesus, and so inflamed with the love
of his most holy doctrine that he thought he
had then just begun to he acquainted with
what he had scarcely ever laid out of his
hands from his infancy.
Queen Elizabeth, who spent much of her
time in reading the best writings of her own
and former ages, has left on record the fol
lowing :
" I walk many times in the pleasant fields
of the holy scriptures, where I pluck the
goodlisome herbs of sentences by pruning,
eat them by reading, digest them by musing,
and lay them up at length in the high seat of
memory by gathering them together so that
having tasted their sweetness, I may less
perceive the bitterness of life."
During the time that Dr. Kennicott was em
ployed on his Polyglott Bible, it was the con

to read to him those different portions to
which his immediate attention was called.—

his work was completed, upon her asking
him what book she should take, "Oh," said
he, "let us begin the Bible."—Primitive
