HAIR RENEWER
was the first preparation perfectly adapted to
euro diseases of the scalp, and the first suc
cessful restorer of faded or gray hair to Its
natural color, growth, nnd youthful beauty.
It has had many Imitators, but none hate so
Tully met all tho requirements needful for
the proper treatment of tho hair nnd scalp.
IIai.i.'d H.Mit lti:xEWr.u haa steadily grown
In favor, and spread Its fame and usetulntss
to every quarter of tho globe. Its unparal
leled success can be attributed to but one
cause! the cntirtfutjilment q' Mi jwnifcf.
The proprietors have often been surprised
at tho receipt of orders from remote cuun-
tr:es, where they had never made au tirorl lor
its Introduction.
The uso for n short time of Hall's llAin
Itiixr.wnit wonderfully Improves tho per
sonal appearance. It cleanses the scalp from
all lnipurltle., euros all humors, fever, nnd
dryness, nnd thus prevents bnldncss. It
stimulates tho weakened glands, and enables
them to push forward n new and vigorous
growth. The clfects of this artlclo nro not
transient, llko those of alcohollo prcpara
tlons.bnt remain a long time, which makes
Its uso a matter of economy.

WHY THE EDITOR SWORE.
With a terrific cnld'ln his head,
And eye) Us heavy and sore,
An editor sat in his broken chair,
And bitterly, earnestly swore.
A youth hsd dropped in willi a traem
A man was there with a dun,
Apd a rhsp had entered to lei I him
How the paper ought to be run.
An irate subscriber had told him
Ills sheet wasn't lit to be read!
While another hart carefully promised
He would punch the editor's head.
Tho lorcman was yelling for copy,
And the wind whittled In at the door,
And this with a few other reasons '
Is why the editor swore.
But the angel that took it to Heaven,
Recorded this verdict there:
'The jury finds In this present case
Twas a justifiable swear."

Ullstfl, clidtised to frtat-fulllng uuow-llkcs.
All day the note of preparation had
antvuled iu Abraham Fliim'H kitchen;
for it was the day beforu Christmas.
Mrs. Plum ibored .lie last quartet ol
pies into the oy.rj, shut the door with a
ulaug, sucl began to clear ewuy the sup
per table. She was a short, fat woman;
yet she was brisk in her movements this
evening, and hsshe swept iuto the pantry
ladeu with blue-edged plitesntidteacnps,
mi nir of priilu win visible. Hue liugort d
to look nt the result of her toil, nnd to
count, for the twentieth time, the row of
pies on the shelf before the window.
'Three plum, two gooseberry, fonr
blackberry, eight npple, fifteen mince,
nnd n great Jil itler of cranberry lartsl"'
Mr. l'lnm cume iu nUn, un ndmiriug
expressinn gradually st.iliug over bis
face. "I vou! if you haven't got
aliow 1 Why, yon haven't couuted them
in Ibe oven I'
& I dnlu'lP fjienlated bis wife,
"Them nre mince. They always go off
fusler'n nny other." She broke off n
bit of burnt crust as big as a cent Vir)
cure fully.
"Come, molbfr, yon'vo looked nt 'em
enough for one day. You've got all day
and to-morrow, too, to see Vm in.''
"No I biilu't." broke iu hit ife.
Dear mel what A sight's to be done to
murrow. I hope Sirabll come over
early t'belp. .1 rather looked for Nancy
to-day." .
Her bnaband drew a chair to tbe stove
and seated hlm-elf. I'd ooua after
her," said be, "only I knew S.im wan
jilit crohsed-gruined enough not to let ber
cume if I did. She's got to lake him in
the right mood, you kuow."
Mrs. Plum sighed nnd ant down to
res:. Jliis Nancy of whom they spok
win the youngest of her flock, not five
years a wile. She was also unhappy in
her marriage which accounted fur hrr
mother's sigh.
Siiuiiirl Hill had been n gay youth nnd
a haiidiii'iii1) one. Courted by all the
yirla of the village, he turned from their
loo evident homage In little Nancy Plum,
the most rit'ious, minded damsel of nil.
Ho called ber tenderly "tbe little psalm-
inger." S!ie. in her turn, was flittered
by bis preference, and she yielded up
her heart to his keeping, in spite of par.
ental objections. It proved lo be an act
of fully on her part; be was n careless
keeper. Moro thau that, be was nt
limes unkind. Her parents read Ibe
eli que nt aigus of misery in ber luce at
every visit, but fcbe never complained of
liiin. Something iu ber look fotbade
direct inquiry, -u luok as if she bad de
liberately counted tbe cost of existence
md nerveij berelt tn endure It. How
many times she iuwardly wished bers If
o tfirl again ut borne wus known only to
berstlf. Tbcy had not been married,
iwo years before lie drank openly instead
ol iu secret Whole d.iys were passed
away from ber where? Sbe knew and
cried over tbe knowledge.
Mr. Pit m looked thoughtfully at tbe
stove. "He's a poor worthless coot.
that's a fact. I used t'tell Nelly that
she'd sup sorrow if she'd marry bim, but
ahe would have her own way."
'Law it dou't do nn good after tho
thing's done t'say 'I told yon so.' " The
expression of txcitid anticipation bad
filled from Mrs. Plum's face; she put
ber feet ou tbe alone hearth aud rtsted
her elbows on ber knees as sbe mused
aloud. "It's all a luck an' by chance
business anyway. 'Cause some occasion
illy git cheated, 't don't follow that
they're t'blnme. None of us are very
sharp-sighted iu such matters. I wnrM.
I shet my eyes ana said 'Yes,' kuowiu'
no more'u tbe m.iu iu the moon whether
I sLould repent or not."
"Well, have you?" asked ber bnsband,
archly.
She smiled mischievously. "S'pcte
I'd own it if I thought I'd come oil
spiudngo?''
"That's jist like wimmin." said Mr.
Plum; "they're so queer. 0u It?
"Yts I'd proclaim it from D.m to Beer-
sbeba. and su serve as a narnin'." His
wife Ungned. "All wimmiu are cut in
the same pattern, I b'lieve. There's
Natcy, now! I jpect she'd eat ber tongue
sooner'u step np 't'mo 'u say, F'atber,
Rxm abuses me..' "
"It'll bo aleigbin' to morrow, I guess.
Mrs. Plum rose aud we: t to the window.
"Wby, the ground's white already"

peering iulo the darkness.

were crowded with happy faces Ions: be
fore noon. New dresses weio displayed
In small knots of mutual ndmlntlon
faces. Loud voices and impromptu j-sls
were the order of things, crowned by
hearty bursts of hughter. In tbe midst
of it all the mother, nnd grandmother
moved with nn anxious face, lest some
untoward happening spoil tbe fun.
Grandfather coustiluted himself a but for
,the childish mirth, and bis ringing laugh
sounded younger than theirs.
Twelve o'clock struck. Tbe matrons
came back from the church. Tbe big
turkiy roasting in tbe oven began to

children were made hungry by tbe smell
and tlimofd loudly for dinner, aud
were Appeased with thick cuts of ginger
bread, which they went around munch
ingwith copious crumbles to adults'
dissatisfaction.
T o o'clock struck. The long tables
assumed tbe functions of spring, and
leaved out with astonishing rapidity.
Children wero thrust into an adjoining
bedroom to be got out of tbe way, when
they set up a series of agonizing choruses
The blue-edged crockery kept ignomiui.
ously in the pautry, while fair, white
chlua arranged itself ou the board
Pickler aud preserves crept side by side;
cold sUw" brimmed huge bowls; jelli

"We ruiy's well give up seein Nancy

bsnt up tbe lumpy squash wilb butter.
I've kep' bopiu' ebo'd get here yit, bnt

"Do, if jou dare."
Sbe was too afraid to perform ber
threat. Then seeing she did not start,
he took her by tho wrists, and sbe found
herself nnd baby out in tbe cold,
She crept under tbawood-shed.aud sat
down on a pile of boards and cried. Mis
ery bad shown her a bold front belori ;
now it overwhelmed her. Her buy stirred
in ber arms, and she wrapt tbe shawl
caref-illy about bim. Sbe sat shivering.
If some team would only come by nnd
take ber, just as she was, to her father's
house! Sbe would spoil tbe merry-making,
of course, but they would not care
for that. But no one came. "Everyone
is happy but me,'' sbe thought with sup
pressed bitterness, "What have I .done
to deserve it?"
ner husband came out presently and
looked tbe door. Then be looked np the
roid aud down. Sbe shrank iuto a cor
ner behiud the boards; be did not see
ber and passed lo tbe barn whistling.

He would not be back before noou sbe

all fastened. The windows raised with
difficulty from tbe inside; it was a hope

Upsides she could not put her baby on

and she was ton chilled to soothe bim
At last she thought of the dining-room
Tfiudow. Beside it was a door opening
on the piazza; a fragment of glass bud
fallen from one of the lower panes, and
if she could thrust ber baud Ihrongb sbe
might unbolt tbe door. No! it was too
smill a fissure. Away she went to tbe
wood-shed again.aud she found a broken
bam I hoop, with which she sped back
as fast as ber benumbed limbs would
carry Ver. This happened to hit the
boit; sbe gave a vigorous push and hoard
it slide. Sbe rekindled tbe fire and sat
down to think. After this experience
sbe must leave him; it was evident that
be wished it. But how mortifying to go
back so! Turned away by ber busbaud
with sooffs and jeers!
Sbe dressed her baby carefully; there
was time enough. He should look his
best at tbe Christmas feast, if be was tbe
heir to au unhappy borne. Then sbe
donned ber own best garments and mide
up a bundle lo osrry with ber. As she
busied herself thus ber heart felt lighter.
It seemed to ber as if she bad shnkeu off
an incubus which bnd hitherto weighted
ber with iron.
"Come, babr, we must start!" she
said to tbe child, who coned iu return
and made a dive at her bonnet with bis
