REPARATOR CAPILLI.
For restoring hair upon bald heads (from
whatever cause it may have fallen out) and
forcing a growth of hair upon the face, it
has no equal. It will force the 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 prac
titioners have asserted that there is nothing
that will force or hasten the growth of the
hair or beard. Their ascertains are false, as
thousands of living witnesses (from their
own experience) can bear witness. But
many will say, how are we to diitinguish
the genuine from the spurious 1 It certainly
is difficult, as nine-tenths of the different
Preparations advertised for the hair and
beard are entirely worthless, and you may
have already thrown away large amounts in
their purchase. To such we would say, try
the Reparator Capilli ; it will cost you noth
in? unless it fully comes up to our represen

From the Memphis Bulletin.
When I was Young.
Or what the Old Woman said to her
Daughter. .
We give the following, verbatim ct liter
atum, commending it for a share of genuine
wit and much truthfulness. If it jolts, it
jingles, and if capital letters are some
what out of place, capital ideasare not whol-
ly wanting.
One morning as I chanced to pass
close by a cottage gate,
An aged matron in the shade
sat talking to her Kate.
The frost of age was on her brow,
And garrulous her tongue,
As she compared the doings now.
With those when she was young.
When I was young, young gals were meek,
And looked round kinder shy,
And when they were compelled to speak,
they did so modestly!
They staid at home and did the work,
made indian bread and wheaten,
And only went to Sabbath school,
and sometimes to night meetin,
Young children were obedient then
and had no saucy airs
They minded what their mothers said,
and learned to say their prayers;
But now-a-days they know enough
before they know their letters,
And young ones that can scarcely talk,
will contradict their betters.
Young ladies now go flirting round,
and looking out for benux,
And scarcely one in tea is found
who makes or mends her clothes.
When I was young, if a merchant failed,
he shut up house and hall,
And never ventured out till night
if he ventured out at all.
His wife sold all her china plates,
his boys came home from college;
His gals they learned to cook and bake,
and wash, and such like knowledge.
But now-a-day, when a merchant fails,
they say he makes a penny ;
His wife don't have a gown the less,
and his daughters just as many ;
He rides his horse, he drives his gig,
he drinks his choicest wine,
His wife goes to the opera,
and he asks folks to dine.
When I was young, crime was crime
it had no other name
I And when 'twas prored against a man
he had to bear the blame;
They called the man that stole, a thief,"
and wasted no fine feeling ;
What's now called petty larceny,"
in my day was called stealing.
They did not make a reprobate
the theme of song and story,
As if the bloodier was his deed,
the brighter was his glory;
And when a cruel murder was done,
could they the murderer find,
They hung him as they would a crow
aterror to his kind.
BuT now-a-days it ssems to me,
whenever blood is spilt.
The murderer has our sympathy
proportioned to his guilt;
And when the law has proved a man
to be a second Cain,
A dozen jurrors will be found
to bring him in insane!
Domestic Faults.
Homes ar more darkened by the con
tinual recurrence of small faults, than by
the actual presence of any decided vice.
These evils are apparently of very dis
similar magnitude, yet it is easier to
grapple with the one than the other.
The eastern traveler cau combine liis
force and hunt down the tiger that prowls
upon his path; but he can scarcely escape
the mosquitoes that infest the air he
breathes, or the Seas that swarm the earth
he treads. The drunkard has been known
to renounce hia darling vice; the slave to
dress and extravagance, her besetting sin;
but the whappish temper, the irritating
tone, rude, dogmatic manners, and the
hundred nameless negligences that spoil
the beauty of association, have rarely
done other than proceed till the action of
disgust and gradual alienation has turned
all the currents of affection from their
course, leaving nothing but abarren track,
over which the tncro skeleton of the com
panionship stalks along.
Occupation.
What a glorious thing it is for a human
heart! Those who work hard eeldoni
yield themselves up tt a fancied or real
sorrow. When grief tits down, folds its
hands, and mournfully feeds upon its own
tears, weaving the Aim shadows that a
little exertion might sweep away into a
funeral pall, the strong spirit is shorn of
its might, and sorrow becomes our mas
ter. When troubles flow upon you dark
and heavy, toil not with tho waves
wrestles not with the torrent rather
seek by occupation to divert tho dark
waters that threaten to overwhelm you
in a thousand channels with the duties of
life always present. Before you dream
of it, those waters will fertilize the pres
ent and give birth to fresh flowers, that
they will brighten tho future flowers, that
will become pure and holy in the sun
shine which penetrates the path of duty.
Life after- all is but a selfuh feeling,)
most selfish is he who yields himself to
tua indulgence 01 any passion that brings
not joy to his fellow-men.
Tho Supreme Court of the Unitod
States has just decided that a United
States licenie, or spacul tax, doos not
give the party so licensed or taxed the au
thority or carry on any branch of business
forbiden by the laws of the State in which
the person resides ; nor does it interfere
with the right of the State to tax or re
gulate the same. This settles the ques
tion, with the liquor dealers aud the lot
tery dealers.
Dick Yates' Speech.
The speech of U. S. Senator Dick Yates
of Illinois, at the meeting o.f the Con
gressional Temperance Society at Wash
ington, on Sunday evening, has attracted
great attention ; we give below tho clos
ing portions. The Senator is a man of
strong character but has been unfortu- SOme remained on guard outside the oth
nately much addicted to "sprees," and : ers went in. Daniel has been bed-riddea
there is much to reioiee nt in the salva
tion of his manliness, his honor and value
as a publio servant, lie said :
But some say this temperance business
is fanaticism it's a gloomy sort of life.
There never was a greater mistake. Tem
perance is one of the sweetest aud most
delightful things upon earth ; it is the
very springhead of cheerfulness, happi
ness and joy the very chivalry of man
hood itself. I have been a temperance
man for fifteen days, and I am a gayer
boy to night than I have been for seven
teen years. Laughter. I think I am
the gayest man in the Senate, except the
eompeer of Clay and Crittenden the able,
indomitable and gallant old cavalier of
Kentucky, (Garret Davis.) I except you
also, Mr. Chairman. Laughter. Tem
perance gloomy t Not a bit of it, Mr.
President. My pledge shall be a perpe
tual charm " a thing of beauty which is
a joy forever." not a cloud of gloom, but
as an ever present rainbow of promise,
hope and beauty. I" am as proud of it as
of my wife and children, and that is the
strongest way I have to express my pride.
Applause. I am as proud of it as I am
of the commission which entitles me to
hold the position of an American Sena
tor. By-the-by, Mr. Chairman, I will
submit to you the question : I rather
think the commission and the temperance
pledge ought to go together. Applause.
What do you think about having "the
teetotaller" put into the iron-clad oath ?
Laughter.
You say, of what use is the pledge ? I
wi)J tell you : Twenty days ago there came
along a friend of mine a Senator and
said, "Let us take a drink." I said, "Cer
tainly, all right." Another friend from
Illinois in about three minutes and a half
came along and said, "Let us take a drink."
Said I, "All right." It is this way. One
drink of liquor is enough for me ; two
ain't half enough, laughter; three is ou
ly one third enough, and four is chaos.
After I signed the pledge I was asked
several times to drink'; bat I didn't do
any such thing. Laughter."
After I signed this iemperance pledge
I wrote to a little lady out in Illinois, who
weighs about a hundred pounds, has black
hair and flashing black eyes, and "a form
fairer than Grecian chisel ever worked from
Parian marble," and I reeeived the fol
lowing answer :
My Dear Richard: How beautiful is
this morning; how bright the sun shines;
how sweetly our birds sing; how joyous
the children ; how happy is my heart. I
see the smile of God. lie has answered
the prayer. Always proud of your success,-
you have now achieved that success
which God and angels will bless. It is
the shining summit of human aspiration,
for you have conquered yourself. All
who love you will aid you to keep the
pledge. I love you my dear boy.
Katie
Love, tbe sun. soul, and centre of the moral universe,
Love, which links aiuel and God to man ;
Love, which bin-Is in one two lot ing hearts. How
beautiful is love ! Applause.
As I look ov er this audience, composed
of Senators and Representatives of this
great, great nation, and these galleries
blazing with beauty and the worth of the
city, and sojourners from all the" States
and Territories, I ask myself why they
are here ? Proud England, upon whose
doniiuions the sun never set3has but one
queen; but, thank God, wc have millions
of queens who
"Shine in beauty like the nislit
Of s.i any climes and starry skies,"
whose chains we feel, and yet we bless
the silken sceptre. You are here to give
by your presence encouragement to the
Congressional Temperauce Society, and I
propose, sir, that this society shall be the
besinninsrof societies throughout the laud,
and. that we will push on temperance
column, move upon the enemy's works
and give him canister and Greek fire.
Applausc. We will storm upon the
citadel of intemperauce until it shall
crumble and totter and fall to the earth.
Applause. Why do I refer to the la
dies ? Because their example is migh
tier tlAn the eloquence of a thousiud
Senates or the bauncrs of a thousand le
gions. You arc hero to-night to see the snowy
white flag of tctnperauce as it is unfurled
over the Capitol of jour country, as it
rises and rises, and unfwlds to God, and
spreads until it shall cover the whole
land, and until there shall not be a drunk
ard nor a moderate drinker to take away
the bloom from the cheek of female beau
ty, and until all the hearthstones of this
land shall blaze with comfort and joy,
and happiness and gladnos shall dwell in
green freshness there. Tretncudous ap
plause. '

More Outrages in Schuylkill County. '
On Saturday morning of week before
last about 1 o'clock, a number of men,
some eight or ten, went to a house near
31 1. Lafi'e, two miles and a half from this
Borough, occupied by two brothers named
Daniel and Michael Kelly. They dashed
luu "oni aoor with-a rock, and while
ior eleven years. JJut this seemed to
make no difference to the ruffians, who
dragged him from Lis bed, and with pis
tols leveled at his head, swore to tak his
life unless he told them where his money
was concealed. One of the robbers struck
Michael on the head with the butt of his
revolver, and when he commenced to
shout for assistance actually forced the
barrel of his pistol down his throat to stop
his cries. They robbed the brothers of
S25 in money aud a County bond for
S15G5. J
From the house of the Rellys they went
to a house in Mt. Laffe, which is owned
by Mrs. Hooler, a widow about CO years
of age. The house is partitioned, and oc
cupied by the widow ; by a miner named
George Grethead and Lis wife, and by
Samuel Gasside.
Leaving guards outside the robbers
dashed in the door at Mrs. Ilooler's with
a lieaVV Stone. Thpr rnliKo.l hor nf aKnnt
c-u ana oue 01 me nends made an unsuc
cessful attempt to violate her person.
From Mrs. Ilooler's the robbers went
into Mr. Greathcad's house, and search
ed it thoroughly for money, tearing up
the flooring and even bricks in the hearth
for money which they supposed might be
concealed. One of the ruffians fired a
shot at Mr. Greathead, which passed over
his head entering tbe head board of the
bed. He cocked his pistol again and
while preparing to fire another shot was
ordered to desist by the leader of the par
ty, who said he wanted no bloodshed anil
would not permit Greathead to be shot
unless he resisted. They put a sack over
Greathead's head and tied him to the bed.
Athis time an attempt was made to com
mit a rape on the person of Mrs. Great
head, but the villain was not successful
in accomplishing his hellish purpose.
Mr. Greathead was robbed of $150 iu
m9ney, a watch and suit of clothes. From
Samuel Gasside, in the adjoining house,
they took a suit of clothes, and they roh
bed Thomas Knox of 2,50.
The robbers were about three hours
perpetrating these outrages. Although
not reeoguized, it was evident that some
of them were familiar with the fact that
the parties they robbed bad moaey. They
were disappointed at Kelley's, as they
supposed he had the money for the boad
which they took. In fact they asked him
for it, when to save his life one of the
brothers pointed out the place where the
bond W23 kept, a trunk.
The house of Mrs. Hooler presented a
sorry spectacle when the robbers left, as
they had torn it almost to pieces inside
searching for money.
There have been no arrests and we pre
sume will be none, for are not these men
"inocents, who are only fighting their way
through life ?" Pottsville Miners' Jour

1 saw him at the social party.- He took
but a single glass of wine, and that at
tie request of a young lady with whoa
he conversed.
I saw him next when he thought he
was unseen, taking a glass to satisfy the
slightest desire formed by his social in
dulgence
He thought there was no dan
ger.
I saw him again with those of his own
age, meeting at night, to speed a short
