DuK respiring hair upon bald heads (from whatever
I cause it may have fallen out) and forcing agrowth
| of hair upon the face ii has no equal. It will force tlie
j beard to grow upon the smoothest face in from five to
eight weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two to
three months. A few ignorant practitioners have as
! sorted that there is nothing that will force or hasten
j the grow th of the hair or beard Their assertions are
| false, as thousands of living witnesses(from their own
! experience) can I war witness. But many will say. how
arc we to distinguish the genuine from the spurious?
It certainly is difficult, as nine-tenths of the different

THE BAREFOOT BOY.
Blessings on thee, little nun,
Barefoot bov. with cheeks of tan!
With upturned pantaloons.
And thy merrv whistled tunes —
With thv red Tip. redder still
Kissed by strawberries on the hill —
With the sunshine on thy face.
Through thy torn brim's jaunty grace;
From my heart I give thee joyj
I was on< e a barefoot boy!
Oh ! for boyhood's painless play,
Bleep that wakes in laughing day,
Health that mocks the doctor's rules,
Knowledge never learned at schools
Of the wild itee's morning chase,
Of the wild flower's time and place,
Flight of fowls, and habitude
Of the tenants of the wood,
lfow the tortoise bears his shell.
How the woodehuek digs his cell.
And the ground mole sinks his well,
How the rohin feeds her young,
How the oriole's nest is hung;
Where the whitest lillies blo'w,
Where the freshest berries grow,
Where the grotuid nut trails itsarine,
\V here the wood-grape clusters shine ;
Of the black wasp's cunning way,—
Mason of his walls of clay,
And the architectural plans,
Of gray-hornet artizans!
For eschewing books and tasks,
Nature answers all he a-ks;
Hand in hand with her he walks,
Face to faee with her he talks.
Part and parcel of her jcy—
Blessings on the barefoot boy!
Cheerily then, my little man,
Live and laugh, as boyhood can.
Though the flinty slopes he hard,
Stubhie-spread the new-mown sward,
Every morn shall lead thee through
Fresher baptism of the dew;
Every evening from thy feet
Shall the coo! wind kiss the heat;
Ami too soon those feet shall hide
In the prison cells of pride,
Lose the freedom of the sod,
Like a colt for work be shod,
Made to tread the mill* of toil,
I p and down in ceaseless moil—
Happy if thy track be found
Never on forbidden ground—
Happy if tiiey sink not in
Quick and treacherous sands of sin
Ah : that thee may know thy joy,
Ere it passes, barefoot boy!

Correspondence of the Gazette.
MORUISTOWN, East Tenn.,
May 4, 18G7.
Messrs. Editors—Thinking your
readers might probably be interested
in the doings in this part of the Union,
(?) we send you tire following of what
we have heard and seen while on our
way here.
We left home on the 25th of April,
passing through the eastern and south
ern part of Pa., on our way to Balti
more. and never saw finer prospects
for an abundant harvest in our life,
than all the way through this part of
our journey. From Baltimore we
passed northwest through the central
part of Maryland where the same pros
pect of future plenty greeted us; but
the traveler can not help noticing the
contrast between free Pennsylvania
and the effects of slavery in Maryland
—perhaps a mansion on somo fine em
inence, surrounded by a beautiful
strove, but miserable negro quarters
just behind it, and scarcely a fence on
the plantation. This is in the eastern
part of the State. In the western, the
scone is quite different. Farms are
smaller, well cultivated and sell from
sixty to one hundred and twenty five
dollars per acre. After reaching the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad we went to
Washington, which we lound in a very
quiet condition. No eloquent strains
are heard in our Congressional halls.
The committee on impeachment are
evidently taking their time to it. Sev
eral important witnesses, however,
have arrived. The coming Surratt
trial creates little excitement. We
called on the President, but he having
taken his afternoon "snap," could en
tertain no visitors that day, so we con
tented ourselves with a stroll through
the gardens and green house, connect
ed with the President's mansion.—
These gardens and parks aro now
decked in their richest summer gar
ments, and a stroll through them, in
haling their sweet fragrance, wiliabun
dantly repay ono for tlie disappoint
ment of a chat with his Excellency.
The small park north of the Presi
dent's house is the finest we ever saw.
It contains a life-sized bronze statuo of
General Jackson on horseback.
The War, Treasury, Post Office and
Patent Office, are all buildings that do
credit to our nation;and the last named
is of special interest to the traveler.
The number of implements patented
and deposited here is beyond descrip
tion, but is a true exponent of Yankee
ingenuity. We spent a long time in
reading the address of the inventors,
and found N. York, Connecticut and
Massachusetts best represented. We
are sorry to say we found not a single
article patented by a lady. Will not
the time c omo when our American
women will prove to the world that
their intellectual powers for this de
partment are equal to those of man,
and as they have done in somo other
departments?
At Washington we took the cars for
Lynchburg, Va. There were a num
ber of prominent rebels on the cars,
and we had the extreme pleasure of
studying those polite gentr3'; and the}'
were by no means backward in making
known their sentiments. Wo found
thorn intelligent, exceedingly polite,
and greatly attached to each other.
Their theme was the Tost cause,' and
one of the uumber being a General of
Vol. LVII, No. 20.
Stonewall Jackson's staff—the bravery
and christian virtues of this officer
were of course discussed, and it was
unanimously decided that, had this la
mented officer been spared, their 'lib
erty' would undoubtedly have been
secured. I had unmistakable proof
that some of these F. F. V.'s had noth
ing left of their former greatness but
their wardrobe and their name. In
my next I will state the general sen
timent of the people in the South
SIGMA.
Human Parasites.
Prof. Browne, lately lectured in Now
\ork, on the ' Bangerous Parasites
which Infest Mankind, and their food.'
Concerning Trichinae he Baid:
This parasite originated almost en
tirely in tho swine, and is there invis
ible to the naked eye. When flesh
containing the trichina? is introduced
in the human stomach the flesh is dis
solved, and the parasite unloosed from
its cell. When this occurs the parasite
is about one-thirtieth of an inch in
length. Birth is then given to trichi
na?, which straightway proceed to pene
trate the whole muscular and flesh sys
tem through the aliamentary canal.—
These young trichina? are at first only
one five hundred and fortieth of an
inch in length, and resemble a worm
in spiral coil. By the time they tra
verse the system, however, they in
crease in size many fold, and then be
gin to make felt that terrihlo dis
ease to which they have given the
name. The parasites first introduced
never cause trouble, except by the pro
duction of their offspring. The disease
is first made apparent by pains in tho
joints, the head, and the spine, and tho
patient gradually wastes away and
dies. The lecturer had seen many ca
ses of this disease in Germany, where
it is particularly prevalent. Some con
stitutions, hut few, withstood it. The
trichina? did not create disease by eat
ing away tho flesh—which they are
not fitted to do—hut by hindering, or
closing up, the forces and process by
which health is preserved.
Woman's Will. —Dip the great ocean
dry with a teaspoon; twist your heel
into the toe of your boot; make post
masters perform their promises and
subscribers pay the printer; send up
fishing hooks with balloons and fish for
stars; get astride a gossamer and
chase a comet; when the rain is com
ing down like the cataract of Niagara
remember where you left your umbrel
la ; choke a mosquito with a brickbat;
hold Gibraltar at arms' length; in short,
prove all things heretofore considered
impossible, but never coax a woman to
say she will, when she has made up
her mind she won't.
S&*Ducks lay eggs; geese lay wagers.
When is butter like Irish chil
dren ? When it is made into little Pats.
B£*L,What is that which is neither
flesh nor bone, and yet has four fingers
and a thumb ? A giovo.
How many days belong to the
year? Three hundred and twenty-five
—the rest are Lent.
A lazy fellow, lying down on
the grass, said : 'Oh ! how'l wish that
this was called work, and was well
paid for.'
Wisconsin editor,in acknowl
edging the receipt of an exchange pa
per printed on new type, says it -looks
as clean as a school-marm in a bathing
tub.' *
©- Smith asked Jones what the
high price of butter was owing to. 4 A
considerable part of it is owing to my
grocer,' said Jones, 'for it is two
months since I have paid him.'
fi@- An Indiana paper gets off the
following : ' A love sick Sucker sends
us some doggerel to print, liespectful
ly declined. Go and tell the gal that
you are a fool, without letting every
body else know it.'
B®-An editor at a dinner table, being
askt d if ho would take some pudding
replied, in a fit of abstraction, 'Owing
to the crowd of other matter, we are
unable to find room for it.'
"I say, Pat, if I place my money
in the bank to day, when can I draw
it out again?' 'Oh,' respondod Pat,
'sure an' if you put it in to-day you can
get it out to-morrow by givin-- a fort
night's notice.'
&xT In Dublin a prcat her once at
tempted to preach lion the text, 'Re
member Lot's wife,' and made a fail
ure. Afterward remarking to Dr. Bon
that he did not know the reason of his
failure, the venerable Doctor replied
that 'he had better thereafter let other
people's wives alone.'
A man lately made application
for an insuranco policy on a building
situated in a village where-there was no
fire engine lie was asked: 'What
are the facilities in your viliago for
extinguishing a fire?' 'Well, it rains
sometimes,' he replied, with great sim
plicity. &
