Lead in some form or other ia always on ingredient in thane iwindlinjr mixtures, and by the application lonjr continued of theae nostraint to me BKin 01 mo scnip me lead is absorbed and its poisonous eirects will surely manifest thomsekes in various forms or lead poisoning. The sufferer from theso poisons has no warning from this insidious enemy in and through tho veins until its futal fangs are ao deeply buried into tho avstom, that its dreadlul effects aro liardly ever discovered un til the victim is placed beyond euro, and many doubtless go to tlioir graves without their physicians ever dream ing of the cbiiho of tho disease. It produces pnrulysisoftlie musckMtof the face nnd limbs, as well as neuralgia. 1 Persona will complain of sudden puin in the bead, ear, eyes or muscles of the face and shoulders, chest and back; very often numbncKi of the limbs, bands or feet, amounting in some cases to actual loss of motion j all caused by this deadly poifon found in the Ambrosias, commonly called Hair liestorattves. It is hih time that tho warning voice of tbe press should bo heurd and hooded, bv tho multitude of dupes who aro daily victimised by these rascally and murderous cosmetics and head washes. So mnny of these worthless compositions aro now thrown upon the community, all professing to be perfectly innocent in their composi tion and purrly vrrettiblc, that peoplo are induced to uso'lhcm without ever inquiring into their ingredients, or giving even a passing thought of tho dreadful consequences suro to result from their use. If any ono doubts what wo say and is curious to discover tho presence of tho poison we speak of, let them go to any drug store and procure a solu tion of sulphurated hydrogen and mix it with any of the Hair Vigor or Invigom, when a black color will iin mediately result, and a precipitate bo thrown down on the bottom of the vessel. Glauber salts or sulphide of ammonium will produco mo same results. Any one valuing their health should not fail to applv these simple tests to any heud or scalp washer, which either curiosity or faith in the mixtures may induce them to use to promoto mo growth of the hair.- The press daily records some cases of lead poisoning by absorption into tho svslom through the pores of the skin by the use of the many sdvorlised Hair llressinijs, and ono would think tbat theso warnings would suffice to loHseu the uso of such articles, cspeci- lly among intelligent and thinking pcnplo who valuo tbeir health and are not entirely given over to the vulgar codo of faliion. We beg to warn all who are using these washes, that they aro gradually but surely bringing destruction and death upon themsoivos or at least a condition of intolerable Buffering from which death only is a merciful but certain relief. 'And again, we nrgo those using these Hair washca to first ascertain if Wiry con tain any lead poison, and when dis covered, to at once abandon their use. W have taken pains to obtain a correct analysis of two of tho most populnror these Jlnir J(enewcr(e, as found in Ihe country, namely : Hall's Slci II inn Hair JCci.cwcr and King's rcctablo Ambrosia, so that our readers may know what they givo thoir dollars for. www Jt'ST iff i'l.ACR. )ianiel Webster onco told a good anecdote in a speech.

THE CORRUPT AGE. With tho present stringency of the money market wo hear complaint of dullness in trade and consequent ina bility of those engnged in mercantile pursuits as woll as in met'ianicul avo cnlions to muko ends meet, and to fulfill obligations entered into a short timo sinco when times wero better, and which nro now maturing. Honest men scum to find themselves going rapidly into the background, whilo the brazen fnces of roguery and down right rascality wour radiant smiles, and their owners "lure sumptuously every duy." ihe doctnno of future rewards and punishments is only a t'ablo of the pust, scarcely remembered by tbo old est iiibabiluut at least it would seem so by tho lives of thousands in our city, who ignoro it and livo for them selves. In short, s season of demoralization, general in its thuracter, appears to have become inaugurated, affecting aliko tho l'ulpit, tho I'resa and tho liar. Ministers of thoCoRpcl, Editors and Authors, Judges and Lawyers, aban don their high and honorable callings to assist in the carnival of crime and rascality. Where tho greatest confi dence should bo reposed is found the secret and dangoroas cnomv that bo trays us; where vo should look for moral instruction wo find the gildud brand of infamy held np for our admi ration, as the slump ol virtue Authors eoll tho falsehoods of their feverish imaginations to irain wealth, whilo publisher can be found base enough to demoralize a wholo community for a share iu the venture, 1 ho t ress cries 'l orriintion with i a loud voice w hile its editors enrich themselves by praising and endorsing the scheming scoundrels who niako a trado of publio robbery. Jobs of gi- untie proportions aro juggled through lOglolulive lloilies to bo "tjiio warran to'd" and hlacktnniled by tho Altor nics and tho outside associates of our honorable Judiciary, alter which pro cesses they are lcgitimitto burdens for the public to groan under. Kings und political combinations made up of tho worst class of society rule all of our interests, and Integrity and Industry hang their heads in sor row if not in despair. We are not of that over-sensitive nature, which la easily appalled by tho tares among the wheat in human life, for wo know that tho world is full of beauty, and much for us to lovo and admire. But wo oonfesa to a feeling of indig nation at tho broad away crime is having, and to a blush of shamo that m.nliood on beooina ao dubaeoil, oo false to its truest interests in tlio well being of society, and we huvo been led to reflect upon the Cannes wbieh have produced these sad results. We fiad two prominent evils which attract our attention the most. First, the thirst for notoriety and Self-ag-grandisemcnl among tho Instructors of the people, and secondly, the fond ness for exlrnvaganco and foolish dis play among nearly all clusxcs of thu couitnonity. To theso two sources wo think can be clearly traced nearly all of the evils of our day. In oldon times Ministers of the os pol led thoir flocks through virtuous and holy paths; the meekness and humility of a Buffering Savior were tho doctrines taught to proud human ity and "to sell all that ono had and give to the poor" was the only road to follow Jesus. In tho House of Worship lie was the centre of thought and udoration not tbo marble palace with stained windows, nor the volvcted pew nor even the political or tho sensational orator, if any there wore who oflieia ted as ministers in thoso clays. Men attended church with their families to listen to the reading of Ihe scriptures and tho holy advice explained to them by their pastors. Truth and wisdom wero deemed superior to political ha rangues.and good sense and sonnd logic were moro esteemed than rhetorical flourishes and attempts at blasphe mous witticisms. Men were taught to livo rationally, and happily Vice did not beoomo Virtue whon indulg ed in by church members, nor did pas tors consider it their duly to gloss over tbo sins of thoir congregation in order to assist tho causo of Chris tianity. In thoso days authors and public writers won golden l-cpntaliohs by elucidating facts and truths, by wri ting works of instruction and beauti ful poctc and prose effusions for the edification and enlifrhlenniont. of the masses many of which works will live forever. Theirs was not the task to demoral ise society, to create a demand for ob sceno 1 1 tors tore or slanderous reading which should mako angels weep theirs not the banelul trash t hut de stroys tho youthful mind nnd praises guilt in tho first chapter of a periodi cal, that tho second may have a slill larger salo that robs tho dead to en rich the living. Youthful minds fed wilh , moral truths beeamo the giant intellects en cased in robust bodies, protected by cood habits, whic h led our country on to greatness and bonorablo esteem among ull tho nations of tho civilized world, Justlco sat on hor bench and meted out right to all whoeanio, irrespective of party or monied power. But in an evil hour tamo the dread scourgo of internecine War, brother rose against brother "Tcsce on earth and good will toward men" gave way to the fiorce baltlo tiry of "l'lood"imd North and Month from the pulpits which had lent their aid tn fan tho sparks Into life, came rallying shouts of tho champions of Satan rather than tho Alio. lies ol Christ, JS'ot even could a Sabbath be spared to the wrw- view of his work, he can judge of il ship of the Supreme Being, nor His almost ns clearly as though it were day remain a day of rest. that of some other person.

As tlm (iovorntnont spent lavisl .uhis of money, the unscrupulous bo ame rich, anil rascals strodo into ilaco and power. Money, and not trains, became tho talisman that open rd tho door to soeieiy. The Merchant flourished in tho sale f his wares, tbo Mochunio in tho do nund fur his services. Men w ho had 'rcviously lived upon moderate in 0mes, hastily rented superb mansions aid adopted a correspondingly exlrnv nfint style of living. Thus whilo the nr lasted, the money spent by the (Jrvcrnmont nssistcd the follies of the people. i - litit then enrao tho termination of thtwar; the Government ceased Its heaviest expenditures tho money ceised to flow into its wonted cli an nuls. Honesty had been to a great estent ignored ; prido was more pow erful and men could not return to the kmplicily of former times Society hud been terribly shattered in all its iior.il restraints. Many who had been honest formerly became rascals rather tkan obandtiti their profligiite ways of lii'it)g. and daily wo witness tho as tounding incrc.no of crimo in our tni1-t, mid wonder how such things cm bo! . .

And in order to escape from the fol lies l'to-dny we must us far as prac ticable conlorm more to tho customs of lie past. Those who persist in the cxtetvagances of tho present will find too ate tho enor of their course Ministers of tho Gospel had better return to preaching tho doctrines of Christ, after laying aside the borrow ed -obes of worldliness, prido and speculation. Jidgos had better ro asstimo the chancier of high-minded and honora ble rentlumcn which is fur better than tho corrupt reward of roguish imlo cenny and a retinue of jail bird sup pot llTS. ' Etitors and Authors will find truth and honesty of purposo much moro dosimble than tbe perpetration of out rages upon the communities they pro fess to instruct.

As a resource a change from tho ordinary cures and toils of life read ing is a sedative that composes the mind and rislores its calm and regu lar tnof cti.onts. Liko a tcmpcraio and whohf-ome drink, it al once refreshes ijid nourishes, and may be safely tslf-n in largo and freipicnt draughts. 'Most men need something like a bftlnKO wheel to cqualizo the operation 'f their mental und moral powers, si'd to prevent tho imagina tioa and lnty from domineering over the reason and judgment, to break the sudden slocks of passion and interest, and to csry the mind past seasons of wcarinc-a-, depression, disappointment, or affliction. A man without any such cotservativo provisions in his naluro i tho fool of chance ant of every vlnd that blows. His mind, ill reguUtcd from tbo start, becomes rapidly more and moro disordered by the wp.ir and excitement of cneli suc ceeding day. His only relief is in other excitements still more frivolous and unsatisfactory, uniil his increasing rcsllcsncss is looked upon, even by tho very servants who w ilness it, with Isss of compassion than contempt.

Even the scholar, who bus so much toluarn that ho weighs time to tho utmost grain, will end with becoming little belter than ono of his own vocabular ies, unless ho gives sotno hours of each day to bis family und tho general in terests of society. Thus it is thai any pursuit, though in Itself tho most dignified, w hen it is so followed as to keep the mind always bound to it always in hsrnuss be comes, nfler awhile, aslnvish physical habit. Tho mind then works mot hun ically and without judgment, and, thorefbre, does much to no purpose, m,u,i(n,. in 4 li f,n.l niittntn t, i .i u nor resiieet its Ui'o fruit of Its luhors.Tiio Against this what better and more perl'rot safeguard for the mnn of busi ness than tho habit of reading? llius fur we seem to have spoken of rending ns a paslitn, O change, a sort of soothing and healing medicine lor the mind, flu l it is more than this; it is food to he taken, not excep tionally, liko medicine, but daily and regularly Uirongh lilo. INor (loess per son's relish for this food that is, his love of reading depend wholly upon an originul lasto for it, caused by some peculiarity in bis mental constitution ; fur sucn a tusto is sometimes lost hy neglect where it once existed ; while, on the other hand, it has been acquired almost involuntarily. That reading expands and strength ens the mind by the gradual absorption of ideas, is a fust too well understood to need any illustration hero. But it also gives a distaste for small things, as the pretty gossip, mean jeulousies, and foolish disputes and squabbles that disturb and belittle theso minds that are occupied with them for tho want of something of more con sequence. - The rending mnn should not. and gcnernlly does not, read from motives of vanity, in or dor that his knowledge may impress others with a sense of his superiority. Ho will wisely be content to koep his gains to himself. We bold that no one is obliged to mako any philanthropic display of his treasure, whore, most probably, be would not bo understood, or only be sneered at for his pains. Thero arc scholars and writers enough by pro fession ready to enlighten tho world quite as last as the world is willing to be enlightened. It is only for the interior and vixihlo benefit to the mind and happiness of tho individual that we aro now advocating tho advantage of a habit of reading, and not lhat it will even help him to practical suc cess in lifo. Does any one doubt that ilia dewultory reading of books will hinder imiteriul success? We suspect that there aro more reading men than wo kpow of men, loo, havo suc ceeded enviably in life, but who read for their own private satisfaction. Judicious, thoughtful reading makes a man not only superior - to his own cluss, whatever that class may be, but also superior to many, and the equal of others in claescs above his own; and, in short, will go very far towards making the commonest man a gen tleman. Every mnn who has education enough to read a newspaper or the Bible, may secure for himself nil the pleasure and advantage to be derived Irom books. If be begins by reading but a little, ho will bo interested and entertained ; if he continues the prac tice, he will Iwcotno an intelligent or woll-iitlormcd man ; and if he chance to prrsovere through ascriesof years, he will become almost a learned mnn, or, what is bolter than a learned man, a wiso man, a true philosopher, and ono who is able to discern the mutual relations of things, and judge of their comparative values. Such a reading man is moro fortunate than a scholar, for two reasons: first, ho is in the world, while the scholar is secluded from it; secondly, he is free to think and interest himself about many dif ferent things, whilo the scholar, to bo complete master of his special subject, must confine his time and thoughts almost exclusively to that subject. J'eading from a sense of duty and not from inclination, would seem to Promise little benefit j for Shakespeare lias said, '''So profit grows w hero no pleasnre'l ta'en ;" but ho also tells us Ihnt "use dolh breed a habit in a man." So that if persons will compel them selves regularly to do somo one thing, such is tbo force of habit, that an In clination or expected repetition is soon set up in tho mind, in just the satno that our artificial physical habits aro eequircd. In trying to acquire an appetito for reading, it is better at first even to linger a long time over one book or a part of a book, until every word and vhado of thought is made familiar, than mpii'ly to turn over pago after pago, ot which no dis tinct ideas are impressed on the mind. When tut littlo of what is read is clearly understood, but littlo will be remembered.

Dnwos, to which we referred two weeks ago, scums to huvo created a desire on the part of a number of his fellow Repub licans in tho IIouso to win u littlo notorioty hy ntlneking tho Massachu setts member. Among these was onr Congressman, Mr. Schuliuld, and the success thai attended his effort may bo seen in tho following Tho bill under discussion was tho ono to estab lish a Navy Yard at League Island, Philadelphia, which Mr. Schofield fa vored nnd I'uwen opposed : .W..P!,UUhvJd asMj red thc.Ilopse it,,, I ) would have said nothing on too subject of the bill had it not been for the vory extraordinary aiteocii of the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. lawcs) tho other day. It scorned to him us if that ireiitlemun bad mado lit his mind that Ihe bill must be defeated ; without regard to its merits or demer-1 its. Ho described the circumstances ' attending tho making of that speech.:; bow Iho gentleman from Ohio (Mr. j Garfield) had solemnly asked the at-i tention of the House to it, reminding him of tho 'Hear ye, hear yo" or a 1 court crier, and, the gont'oinun from Wisconsin (Mr. Washburncj took his j scat besido Mr. I'awes to give him ; audience, retnindiii? him of the words ! of tho old song describing hov a cer- lain auditor 'With emotion dull, . i; On the nrut of hi. fkull, Turned roond bil lliteuing ear," ' -' It was a picture fur a painter. All this wus prepared in udvance; this raising a tempest to drown a fly. In fly. the this connection, he alluded lo the ap propriation of (3,000 made the other day to enable, us-he pnt it, tbo gen tleman from Ohio to entertain souie festive bankers of New York, and to tho circumstances of the gentleman from Wisconsin having recently got through an appropriation of ?l'li0,0(ifl for the I Ms Moines Itnpids, not esti mated for by any of llioso "unworthy Departments." It had forced itself upon his conviction almost, that which had been repeatedly told him, that "tho gentleman from Massachusetts had a little balance to settle with the Republican members of l'ennsyl vania." Mr. Dawes Will tho gentleman be kind enough to stato cxplicily just what ho means by tho lasi remark ? Mr. Schofield The gentleman him self knows, I suppose, because (in a jesting way) I have told him what had been suggested; bul if he insists on my staling it hero, I will say that it has been hinted to mo that'lTicgentlo man Irom Massachusetts was not alto gether satisfied bocanso tho Republi can members from Pennsylvania, in tho organization of tho Houso had preferred a gentleman whom they thougl.t could sometimes find modes of signalizing bis friendship other than by the infliction of wounds. Mr. Dawes Does the gentleman mean to impulo uny snch motivo as thnt to mo in what I have dune here on this floor? I ask the gentleman to answer me frankly and fairly bore on record, docs ho intend to impute to me any such motivo in anything I have done here ? Mr. Sehofleld If the gentleman will not be so very sensitive, and will bo quiet fir a ftw minutes, ho will see just how much I am iippnting'to him. Mr. Jlawcs Ihe gentleman will do mo tho favor by answering my questions. Mr. Schofield When the gentle man was making that extraordinary speech about everything but the bill, 1 begged, and so did my colleagues, for a word of explanation, nnd il wss declined. I will answer tho gentle man's question in my own way, and I wish now that he would lot mo have tho floor. Mr. Dawes If tho gentleman will do mo the favor to cease bis in undoes and to nr.swcr cxplicilely my inter rogatory, Whether bo docs, hero in this place, ns a member of ihe House, impute to me snch motive, ho will do me a favor and will do me justice. Mr. Schofield If tho gentleman from Massachusetts will be Ices ner vous, and will listen to w hat I have 10 say, ho wilt understand exactly my meaning. When I saw all this prep aration, and when I saw that tbo gen tleman roamed over tho w hole Gov ernment to find something obnoxious, and lhat when bo had at last awakened the indignation of tbe Houso against everything that could to criticised in all the Departments ; nnd when I saw him gather up his hostility and hurl 11 at ihe bill, which only proposed to remove an old JSavv yard to a new , . v , one, the convention 1 say, was almost forced upon my mind that pel haps the insinuation might have some founda tion, nnd Ihnt is nil 1 was saying. Mr. Schofield then proceeded to review these portions of Mr. Dawes's speech criticising the economical no tions of the Secretary of the Nary and of tho Postmaster General. He would not pause to criticise the irrev erent illustration of tho gentleman , l no a.mo ago,, from Massachusetts that this wns .!"rll'.llT k'w, John Iho liaplisl bill."

Mr Sehofleld, after disclaiming any intention to reflect on tho gentleman from Ohio, remarked, in conclusion, thai as tn tho use of the word "un worthy" by the gentleman from Mas sachusetts, ho took it wilh tho text which hud been always his text, that "faithful wero the wounds of a friend."

Saint Paul em phatically speaks oi a -morn in ine flesh," and from this expression, as well as from It is earnestness in having prayed thrice that It might be re moved, we conclude it must hava been something particularly galling to the natural man. We hear of the thorn of ingratitude, tho thorn of envy, Iho thorn of unrequited love- indeed of thorns as numerous as oar filaitsuros, and few there arc who can ook back upon tho experionco of Kfe, without acknowledging that every earthly good they have desired, pur sued, or attained, has had its peculiar thorn. Who has over cast himself into the lap of luxury, without finding thnt liis couch was Strewed with Ihoms? Who has reached llie sum. mitof his ambition without feeling on that pinnacle that hostood on thorns? Who has placed the diadem upon his brow, without perceiving that thorns thickly set within ihe royal circlet? Who has folded to bis bosom all tbat ho desired of earth's tressures, with out feeling that bot,om pierced with Ihoms? All lhat we enjoy in this world, or yearn to posse!, has this accompaniment. The more intense the enjoyment tbo sharper the thorn ; nnd those who havo described most leelingly tho inner workings of the human heart, have unfailingly touched' upon this fact with tho melancholy sadness of truth.
