A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY,
A Deodorized extract of Petroleum,
Tho Only Articlo that Will Bo
storo Hair ou liald Heads.
What tlio World lias been
Wanting for Centuries.
The greatest Clscovcry of onr day, so far as a
largo portion of humanity Is concerned, Is CAR
BOLINC an article prepared from petroleum, and
which effects a coinplcto and radical curoln case ct
baldness, or where tho hair, owing to diseases ot
the scalp, has hecoino thin and tends to fall out.
It Is also a speedy restorative, and whtlo its nso se
cures a luxuriant gron tU of liatr, tt also brlnjs back:
the natural color, and gives tho most complete sat
lsfactlon In the utln. The falling out of the hair,
the accumulations of dandruff, aud the prematura
chango In color cro all ci Idcnccs of a diseased con
dltlcn of the rcalp and the glands Mhlch nourish tho
hair. To arrest these causes tho nrtlclo used must
possess medical ns well as chemical virtues, and tho
change must begin urtdcr tho tcalp to bo of pcrma
ncnt and lasting benefit. Such an articlo Is CAR
EOLINE, and, Ilka many other wonderful discov
eries, It is fuund tocunslst of elements almost la
their natural state. Petroleum oil Is tho articlo
which Is made to uork such extraordinary results ;
bat it Is af tci It Ins been chemically treated and
completely deodorized that It Is In proper condition,
for tho toilet. It was In far-off Itus.la that tho
effect of petroleum unoti tho hair was first observed.
Government ofllccr having noticed that a partiauy
bald-headed servant of his, when trimming tho
lamps, had a habit of wiping his oll-bcsmcarod
hands In his scanty locks, nnd the result was In a
few inonths a much Cncr head of black, glossy hair
than he ever had before. Tho oil was tried on
horses aud cattle that had lost their hair from tho
cattlo plague, and the results wcro as rapid as they
wcra marvelous. The mines and even tho tails of
horses, which hod fallen out, were complotcly re
stored inn few weeks. Theso exp rlments wera
heralded to tho world, but tho knowledge was prac
tically nsclcss to tho prematurely bald end gray, as
no ono In civilized society could tolerate tho use of
refined petroleum as a dressing for tho hair, Bat the
skill ot one of our chemists has overcome the dlfa
culty, and by a process known only to himself, ha
has, after very claborato aud costly experiments, suc
ceeded in deodorising refined petroleum, which
renders It susceptible of being handled as daintily
as the famous tail defoojne. Tho experiments with
tho deodorized liquid on tho human hair wcro at
tended with the most astonishing results. A few
applications, whero the hair was thin and falling,
gave remarkable tono and Igor to tho scalp and
hair. Every partlclo of dandruff disappears ea
the Srst or second dressing, nnd the liquid to search
lag In Us nature, seems to penetrate to Ihe roots at
once, and set up a radical chango from tho start. If
is well known that the most beautiful colors ara
made from petroleum, and, by somo mysterious
operation of nature, tho use ot this article gradu
ally Imparts a beautiful light-brown color to the
hair which by continued use, deepens to a black.
The color remains permanent for ou Indeflnltelength
of time, and the chango Is so gradual that tho most
lctlmate friends can scarcely detect Us progress.
In a word, It Is the moat wonderful discovery of
fie age, and well calculated to make the prema
turely bald aud gray rejoice.
Wo adilse our readers to giro it a trial, fcdln:
satliflod that ono application will com into them of
its wonderful effects. lltUburgS Qonunerclal
Vet. 2J, 1877.
The articlo is telling Its own story in the hands of
thousands who are u.mg it with the most gratifying;
and encouragiug results :
W. II. BntLi.& Co., Fifth Avenue rharmacy, say.
' Wu havo sold prcparatlous for tho hair for upward
of twenty year, but haio neu-r had ono to sell ax
well or giro sutli uulvenial satisfaction. We there
fore recommend It wlih confidence to our friends
end the general public."
Mr. Gcstivcs P. IUll, of tho Oates Opera
Troupe, writes: "After six weeks' nselamcon
t lnced, as are also my comrades, that your ' Carbo
line' has and Is producing a wonderful growth of
hair uhcro 1 had uouo for years."
C. n. BstiTrt, of thoJennlo Ill-ht Combination,
writes: " After tiling your ' Carbollne' three weeks
Jam convinced that bald heads cau be 're-haired.'
t's simply woudcrf ul lu my case."
II. F. AnTncrt, chtmitt, Holvoke, Mass.. writes:
" Your ' Carbollne' has restored my hair after every
thing else had fulled."
Joseph E. Tond, attorney-at-law, No. Attleboro,
Mais., writes t For more thau so years a portion of
my head lias been as smooth and free from hair as a.
billiard ball, but some eight weeka ago I was In
duced to try your Carbollne, and the effect bast
been simply wonderful. Whcro no hair has beert
seen for ?car tluro now appears a thick growth,
and I am convinced that by continuing Its use I shall
have as good a head ot hair as I ever had. It la
cronlng now nearly as rapidly as hair does after
ft is cut.
CARBOLINE
Is now presented to the public without fear of con
tradiction as the best Itcs toratlvo and Bcautlfler of
the Ualr the world has ever produced.

The MonntainGhristfflas Eve.
BY' WALTER KtlOAn HCCAKH.
Snow, suow 1 The hollows, tho mountain
glens, the deep, caves piled full of it; every
where tho subllmo "whlto silence." Even
ojd Sam Wliitehcnd.buUeting his way across
the ndgesand along those tremendous gorges
lelt the awful quiet.
.Human voices seldom aroused these lone
ly wilds. In Summer tho drum ol the
iheasaut, tlio squeak of tho ground squirrel
or tho sharp bark of tlio gray, tho difTeient
cries of forest birds nnd game, were heard
nero; uut now oven llicir voices were still,
It was Christmas Eve, nnd almost tho
middle of Winter j and old Sam Whitehead,
"with his keen eyes and red nose and strug
gling gray beard, and mounted ss i.ia -'crlt-""-goihgiip
Iho mountain, with tho
man.
Two miles nbovo, on tho sleep hillside,
stood a plain log and clapboarded structure,
with hut ono story nnd two rooms, an
enormous fireplace, whose chimney, to save
space, wos outside tho house, and a single
window tho dwelling of Tom Foster and
his pretty wife.
Tho fireplace was, in f.ict, five feet wide,
and threo or our huge logs were crackling
and blazing there.
The interior of this homely establishment
was not unpicturesque. Tho furniture coil'
sistcd of a few plain chairs, a table, a bed, a
few cooking utensils and a loom.
Around tho walls and to the joints wore
hung different homespun articles of dress.
bunches of flax, hanlji of yarn, bogs of gar
den-seed, rings of dried pumpkin, and
strings of medicinal herbs.
Tom Foster, a stalwort, handsome fellowi
who had been to a turkey thooting-match,
was busily doing something to his guu no
one but a sportsman could have told what,
His wife was preparing supper, the princi
pal item of the menu being tho universal
"corn jwnc," which had just lelt her hands.
"Colder," said Tom, pursuing his conver
sation, "than for threo years back just as
I told you. There wcro nine fogs in August,
which means nine snows; and 1 didn't see
a hornet's nest but what was nigh tho ground
and tbe corn-husks were thick as a board."
"Talking of boards, Tom," returned Mat
tie, crouching by the fire, with its rich glow
shining over her pretty face, "I notice that
tho boards of this house are beginning to cup
up and pull off. That'she cold, too."
"Jfo," said Tom, shaking li is head wisely;
"that's becauso tho house wuscoveiedon tho
new moon. It's always tho case. 1 planted
them potatoes of oum by the dark of the
moon, and look how largo they are. Kill
your meat on the decrease of the moon, and
see how it will shrink. I don't know as I
over knew it to fail."
Matlio could not recollect a contrary ex
perlence either, although she passed fivo
minutes in reflection upon tho subject. Then,
thinking of another matter, she said, with a
little hesitation ;
" Them's, thst dance down at Hummer's
to-night, Tom ; I guess Ihrie'U he a crowd
there, as it's Christmas Eve."
" Wo won't bo there, though Mnttie," re.
plied Tom, with quiet decision. Thero'a
some I don't want to see any more oi than I
can help."
"Mollle Williams."
A dark flush mounted to Foster's cheek,
and ho lowered his head still further over
bis gun, and, after a minute, said ':
"Yes; Mollie Williams is one. I don't
want you or me to havo anything to do with
her, and I am mighty eorry she has pome
back to this neighborhood. J nice match
she mado 1"
" I reckon you thirrk you kuow a better
one she could have made."
" And I expect you think the same about
Joe Williams," rejoined Toin,rather crossly;
and then ho laughed. " Well, it's 110 use
quarrelling about either of 'em, Mattie. Joe
has gone nobody knows where, and as for
his wife, tbe it living over there at Brandy
Fork all by lierselfand so long as the minds
her own .business it it none of ours."
" I with you would letine tee her. Tom.
We used to he tuch friends, and sho mutt
thluk hard of me."
" I don't want you to have anything to
do with her," said Tom, bringlug hit gun to
"order anut," with 11 tudden and tharp,
clatter, a fierca light gleaming from hit
uvea. "Jf you ever speak to her orJoo
Willianit again, et long at you live, you'll
do what I hare expmaly forbid."
Mattie tlood up and crowed to tbe wta-djw.
What did this prohibition mean T Mollle
Williams was Tom's old flame ; did she pos
less secrets of hit t
There wat u sharp halloa outstdend Fos
ter hastened to the door and opened It. Old
Sam Whitehead had balled in tbe mountain
tnlbj diffusing about him tho fragrant odor
of moonlight whisky,
" How hro ye, folks T Merry Christmas I
Coin' to tho hoe-down at Fluminer'a to
night T Thar'll be a big crowd thar'."
" Wo're not going,'-' called out Tom,rather
briefly,
Mr. Whitehead's genial smite vanished by
degrees, and a little disconcerted at Iho re
buff, lie glanced up and about, not knowing
what line of remark to adopt next.
116 surmised that Tom Foster nnd his
wife bad been having a spat. But it was
dark and he could not linger, and,in a low
er tons nnd somewhat iheepishlydte said :
" Tom, can I speak to you a minute out-
side'hero? It's about about borrylng your
log;" and never did a man's face show
more distinctly that hs wat telling an un
truth.
However, Tom stalked out-closjng the
door behind him with a cow's kick; and,
standing by the head of old Whitehead's
horse, he and Sam held a few minutes' mut
tered converse. Mattie, still at the window,
although the could not hear a word, saw all
that patted very plainly.
The med putted, and In came Tom again,
looking rather stern and anxious.
It Was quite dusk now, and Mattie, light
ing tbe hoinc-niado candle, placed the mod
est supper on the tablo tho eternal bacon
and corn-bread of gioso regions, which only
n mountain appetite can tackle so unwary-
ingly and man and wife, without the for
mality of u grace, set before tho table and
began to eat.
" Mattie," said Tom, presently looking up
with a tmile: " I fiud I'll havo to go out to
night, after all."
His tmile faltered under the glance of
surprise, and ho chared his voice, and made
a pretenso of cutting another slice off the
pone.
" The fact is, Dick Doyle has been drink
ing for a week pastnd ho is pre tly badind
bit wife wants mo tocomo over and tit will:
him. They're afraid he'll do himself somo
mischief."
' But that's ten milee to Dick Doyle's.'
" I know ; but what am I to do ? It tecmt
they count Un mo. There's two with him
and it's as much as they can do to hold
him. I'll havo to go."
" Very well," returned Maltio after a
pause.
Willi evident relief, for ho had expected
opposition, Tom rose, and wilh.alocrity put
on his rough coat. lie wai pretty plainly
in a hurry, afthough ho strove to conceal
the fact.
" I hats lo go, Mattie," ho raid, bending
over and kissing her ; " but don't be lone
tome, my girl, I won't tiny a minute longer
than I can holpj" and. avoiding his wife's
-linv hm. uiuntered. with what careless
ness be could assume, out of tbe house,
So pretty Mrs. Fos'cr was now alone, her
supper half-way through, but quite forgot
ten. She tits in dark apathy, with eyes on
tbe table, ber mind busy; all torts of
thoughts swarming there; nono of them, I
conjecture, pleasant.
After a while she rosa and washed up the
supper things and put them on tjic shelf,
aud thou flood, still iu hor dream, before
the great fireplace.
Perhaps she saw faces among those huge
puttering and crumbling logs the un
truthful and disconcerted countenanced old
Sam Whitehead -the handsome face of the
grass-widow, Mrs. Williams, which, within
the memory of man, had bewitched Tom
Foster, among & good many others and the
evil fuco of her own former admirer, Joe.
Likewise aud always, and popping up in
every direction in this fiery gallery of por
traits, the unmistakable lincmeutt of Tom,
with that inscrutable, but highly suspicious,
expression upon tbem which they wore just
as ho took bis departure
And suddenly from tlio depths of her re
verie Mrt. Foster awoke with a cry.
"Ho has lied I He has not gone to Doyle's;
lie has gone to tbe dance at Flummcr's,
where he is to met Molliu Williams. Sam
Whitehead brought him the message. But
11 show him that I am not tbe fool he
thinks me 1 I shall go to that ball myself.'
Quickly, ncrvou.ly,fcverisbly,she hasten
ed so dress.
They do not concern themselves much
about the fashions' in those primitive and
romantic latitudes; honie-niado garments
of llnsey cloth, and ancient and Indescriba
ble bonnets, do for everything meeting on
Sunday, funerals and balls alike.
Still, a really pretty woman la pretty in
almost anytbingnd Mattie, arrayed in her
best, with ber fresh complexion, and spark
ling eyes, and scarlet lips, and a figure that
n actress might have sighed for, looked
truly charming.
Out went the light, and three minutes af
terward she was on her pony Tom's first
gift galloping rapidly down the snow-clad
mountain.
It was tbe full moon. How white the
now in the white glare! And the tremen
dous shadows) Is there anywhere in the
world scenery moro sublime than hero
among these wild, rugged and impenetrable
mountains T
On flew the girl. Miles are nothing to
Ibis pony, the wsight of a feather, sinowa of
steel.
There if not a sound exceptthetharpring
of hit heelt at they ttrike the hard, frozen
now. Here and there a. cabin is passed,
banging from the jljppery hillside. No
plough touches these rugged lauds, for no
beatt could pull it; all work is laboriously
done with the hoe; and tltdt draw the
grain, wbero a loaded wagon would tumble
headlong; and tbe threshing It done by
bor.es or with flails.
"Hoi"
Mattie reins in her pony and advances
moro slowly and cautiously.
There wat a house yonder, Just at the
turn of the etage-road. The girl dismounts
nd glides aleathily over the suow, uiuking
her way like an Indian, from tree to tree.
She was but reconnoitring, and certainly
bad no anticipation of the surprise that fol
lowed almost at the instant the reached the
last of the trees.
In the open plateau the aaw the dwelling
formerly a taveru and Ufore it, looking
up, a man ber husband.
The suroeediug iuoideiitl did not occupy
moro than a minute. Climbing upon (he
