I was luduced to try Ayer's Hair Vigor, and In a few weeks tho diseaso In my scalp disappeared and my hair resumed its original color." (Rov.) 8. 8. Sims, Pastor U. li.

Many remedies were suggosted, none, however, with such proof of merit as Ayer's Hair Vigor, and I began to use it. The result was all I could have desired.

Many peculiar customs still prevail In Holland which amuse the tourist, but which are unite sensible after all. In many Dutch towns bulletins are affixed to the doors of houses lu which persons aie sick In order that-then- friends' may bo appraised of tbo slate of their health without knock ing or ringing, and In Harlem tho birth of a child Is announced by means of a email placaid adorned with red silk and lace. So tho traveler on the lookout for the peculiar may see j notice on the door as he passes by-that "Mr. Van Dicpcndeck Is better to day: pulse. 05; temperature, normal," or Mrs. Vau Wcllbullt waBdellvrrod of a eon this morning; wclptt, ten anil ouohalf pounds; notice of christening lureafler." A painted Turk's head is the customary sign of dmggls's' shop, wbllea Urge crown decorated with gilding, suspended beneath the Dutch flag, indicate that fresh herring have arrived in the shops thus adorned. Foot-warmers are universally employed by tbo female members of tbe community, and are seen in great numbers lu the churches, recatllug tho "scaldlnos," wih which tbe devout women or Italy try to waim them selves when lu cold churches. A BPIDEIl THAT WAS A SPIDER. A correspondent of the Calcutta Evglith- niau sends a ticsciiption nt a nig spiaer which was killed In a bouse. Tbo creature was found cliuging to tbe door emtaib, and when alarmed mult ted .- grating sound, but whether with its mandibles or with Its feel could not bo ascertained. It dbowed uo disposition to run away, or ivento move from tho spot wher It was lill It was tbtowu down, when It w killed with a blow of a stick. It wai quite tno Inches in length aud half an Inch in breadth, and tbe two segments of the body were equal In size. It Is distinctly-eliort-leggcd for a spider, but the elghl leg nr very strong and heavv. The body, too, ijcoycrcd with fine siiorl balr, and U all of a dark blown color. Tiie Wo fangs are like n sparrow's clawe, and exceedingly tdiurp, aud If tictchrd out Mralzht would, with the llesbv part, measure ha!f an inch each. 1 find It difficult i" convey "li adequate cou coplion of Ihu terrlblu and formidable ap' pearntico of the monster.

A few gossips of tbo southern end of St. Louis are just now discussing tho strange romanco of a young man who has for over a year ncen a resident among them. Tbe storyjs told toy the clergyman of the Itpls copal church, who has been a sufferer from the lady's strango fate. The ladv In nfts tlnn Is but a visitor lo America, whence she came to try to shako off a spell ol which she firmly believe this Is tho victim. A few years previous to her leaving "Hln toric Caledonia" she returned" from tho pa trimonial estates of the family, nine and one-half miles from the Holytood Palace, lu Kdlnhnrgb, to Aberdeen. By the death of bcr father since her arrival lu tbls conn- try she has become licit ess lo a large relate, Sho Is refined, graceful and handsome, bnt the fatality attached lo her makes her life an unhappy ouh. H'hcu but 17 years old sbo became strongly attached to a nopbow of tbo Bishop of Carlyle. One May while driving across thu heath In his company, she bad a prescntlmen. that ho would propose tbat night and thai she accepted. She saw htm, In a momentary vision, lying, pala and cold by tbe roadside. Bewildered, sho Involun tary stopped her horse, and In another mo ment fell In a swoon. He boie her to a cottager's near by, and on her recovery tbe bashful vonug man's love bad been so In. tenslflcd by anxiety, that, In a moment oi mutual tenderness they wcie betrothed. After escorting her homo ho had to pass the same spot to return to his domicilii. Tbe next morning they found him dead near where she had fallen. Thi horse bad evidently lhrwn htm, and bn had been killed by tbe consequent Injury to bis head. The lanv rccoveml,and eighteen months afterward sho was bottothed loan English naval ofllcor, wbo was suddenly ordered to the West Indios to Join ber H. M. S. school ship Eurydlcc. The next spring; on tbe return of Ihe ship homo, sho was reekcd, and all on board but two were lost. Tbe young lover was not ouc of the saved. Time healed tho lady's twlco-wounded heart, and her affections were ou hy an English army officer, who was drowned shortly after the betrothal. The night be was drowned she was attending a ball, and according to her statement was solzed with a sudden attack of dizziness and fainted. On recovering she said she had seen III a ball room suddenly transformed Into a sub marine cavern, containing nothing but the corpse of bcr accepted lieutenant. She could never be Induced to danco again. It took a great deal of persuasion to in duce her lo become a fiancee again. Hut the persistence of an American sea captat conquorcd her reluctance, and shearcepte him. Ho returned to Philadelphia with bis ship for tho puiposo of putting bis af falrs ltt shape for tho wedding. While bis ship was at .anchor off tbo Delaware Breakwater be was also drowned. The brido-elect camo lo the Quaker City after ward, and having rc)atlTa In Carondclel, resolved to make a long visit to thorn. Tlio clergsniAn wbo furnttbed the. facts above related met nnd loved the lady, and she apparently reciprocated, but wbcu be proposed sbo replied by telling lilm ber ttory, and alibis eloquence failed to change ber reiolntlon novcr to marry. His atten tion to her bad been a matter of society gossip, so that there was something of a sonsatlon when there appeared lu the so ciety column of the Globe-Democrat an Item stating that she had gone to visit friends in the Interior of the State, and would soon return to her homo In ScMlaud to reside permanently.
