Tor restoring hair upon bald heads (from

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 head in from
two to three months. A few ignorant prac

Eo-w will Messiah come?
Oh ! sad as the green of the cypress in Eden,
And lovely as dews on the toilet-flower's
bloom ;
And pure as the moon o'er the deep blucsof
ocean, -
Shall spirits sing nightly the psilms of the
tomb!
Shall chant as the birds that make holy the
wild wood.
In angel's eolTt jubilee and hymn's choral
glee;
And fond as the loves, and the tears of our
childhood,
Shall night dim the green smile of far Gali
lee !
And Prophecy seal the long cycle ct ages,
That chained the vast periods of Destiny's
yenr;
And Vision sink down in the pile of his
pages
That lined out his story with Prophecy's
tear!
And morn from the deep shall in sunbeam
assemble,
The glories of judgment the spoils of the
tombi
Messiah shall ride on the thunder's low rum
ble, And wheel the dark day into abyss and
gloom !
And starlight the robe of his armies and le
gions; And beauty and joy are the lights of his
throne;
Oh ! far where the day loves the sun-trodden
regions
Ch !' fir where the night loves the beautiful
moon !
Oh! far where the songs of the green-laden
waters,
Waft beauty and smile from the palm's hap
py shore
Ah! sweeter than Eorrow to Ruin's lovely
daughters,
Shall dreams seek the tears of our childhood
no more !
And the eyes that we loved shall give beau
ty and pleasure ;
And their urn-blown rose give our ashes
perfume;
And the tongs of their joy, and their robes'
laden treasure.
Shall lead us in light from the paths of the
tcmo!
Oh sweet as the promise cf Hope's happy
story,
And clearer than light in immortal array,
Shall Virtue ascend on the clouds ofhis glory,
And thine, where his sun dims the regions
of day !
He thall come on the chariot of winds madly
driven, "
From light's free abode, and the home of the
breeze ;
And storm, and battle, and armies mid-heaven,
Shall camp o'er the day-plane of Earth's
troubled seas!
O'er the abyss where day sinks in manning
Eunligh',
The throne of his dynasty burns the long
day
The fountain where peace seeks the orient
twilight,
Flows liglft oa the odours of Life's 6unny
stray
Oh ! know ye sad winds and the coral-piled
waters,
Ye stars and fixed sun of the primary reign!
O moon ! thou the purest of Earth's parent
daughters,
Know ye his kingdom ! know ye of his name!
'Tis Messiah whose train copies the far verge
of heaven.
Where Light's tyrant reign fills the cham

Baptizing a Sinner.
Poor people have a hard time in tlm
world of ours. Even in the matt3r3 of
religion there ia a vast difference between
Lazarus and Dives, as the following an
ecdote, copied from aa exchange, will il
lustrate: Old Billy G had attended a great
revival, and jn common with many others,
was " couvicted'and baptised. Not ma
ny weeks afterward one of his friends met
him reeliug home from the court ground
with a " brick" in his hat.
" Hello, Uncle Billy," f aid his friend,
" I thought you had joined the church!"
" So 1 did," answered Billy, making a
desperate effort to be still. " So I did,
Jeemes, a' bin a good Baptist, if they
hadn't treated me so everlastiu' moan at
the water. Didn't you hear about it
Jeemes ?"
u No," I never did."
"Then Pll tell 'bout it. You sec,
when we co:uc to the Laptisin' place there
was old Sinhp, tha rich old Sjuire, who
was to be dipped at the same time. Well,
the minister took the Squire iu Crst, but
I didn't mind that much, as I thought
that 'twould ba just 33 rood when I cum;
so he led liita in mity kecrful, ami wiped
his face and led him out. . Well, then
cum civ turn, and instead of liftiu' nic
out as he did the S
quire,
ha gave me one
tlosh, and left me crawlin' around ou the
bottom like a mud turtb that's so
Jeemes."
A darkey represents Prcsideut Johnson
as saviDsr. " I countenanced de eiuilcs oh

A Nation of Smokers.
In looking over the reports of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue on the
subject of cigars we learn some curious
facts. It would almost seem aa if the
whole country should constantly envelop
ed in a cloud of smoke, vrhcu we consider
the number of cigars smoked during the
past three years. During the year ISG4,
four hundred aud niuety-two million of
cigars were used ; in 1SG5, six hundred
and ninety-three millions ; aud in I8o3,
three hundred and fifty-seven milliona
were smoked. This ives us a grand
total of fifteen hundred and thirty-two
millions, consumed iu three years. Sup
posing that the report ouly gives us the
cigars used in the loyal portion of the
country, and assuming the population tt
twenty millions, we have two huadred
and fifty-five cigars for each man, woiaan
and child a year If we again assume
one half the population as females who
do not use cigars, and for minor boys
and adult3 who do not smoke a third of
the population, wc arrive at the result
that each smoker uses four cigars a day.
But if we distribute the number of cigars
used among the whole population of the
country, assuming it at thirty millicus,
and making the calculation as before, we
Cud that each smoker uses two and one
third cigars a day.
But there is another part to this smok
ing business, which will very materially
assist to increase the clouds or volumes
of smoke annually produced in our coun
try. YTe allude to the quantity of sinok
iug tobacco used annually, by which we
understand that which is used iu pipe3.
The reports bsfore alluded to tell us that
in ISol, a little more than twenty-four
millions of pounds were used, iu 1G5,
about eight millions of pounds, and iu
1SGG, nearly uine and oue half millions
pounds. Any one that desires to look in
to the curious can easily determine for
himself the amount that would ba used
by each smoker in addition to the num
ber of cigars falliug to his share. When
it is considered, that a very large portion
of the Muokers use comparatively little
smoking tobacco, whether in the shape
of cigars or ethenviss, it will readily be
seen that some others must use it to ex
cess. These facts ve know-do eiist.
Few persons perhaps have ever turned
their attention, to the amount of this
uoxious, anJ'in -fact deleterious weed,
used iu our country. Millions of dollars
are annually puffed away in smoke, burn
ed to ashes, without producing the least
particle cf benefit to man in tny shape or
form. If to the amount of tobaeco used
in smoking, we should aid the amount
used in chewing, and reduce the number
of cigaas to pounds, the reader would be
amazed nnd astionished. He would scar
cely be able to believe that he was read
ing facts based on figures, but he would
rather conclude that he was perusing
some Munchausoa yarn of Gulliver story.
The Nils.
Dr. R. Dunn., correspondent of the
Morning Star, ia a lettlcr from Suez,
thus speaks of the most wonderful river
iu the world the Nile :
The great natural history of Egypt, and
that which not only distinguishes it from
other countries, but is the cause of ail its
other peculiarities, is the wonderful Nile.
The immense quantity of water neces
sary to cause the continued rise of the
river with a good strong current, from
June to October, until its channel, or
dinarily from half to one and a half miles
wide, is widened to from five to fifty mites
in width, is astonishing, and almost suf
ficient still to cstimulate the belief that
some divine agency, rather than the rains
of Abyssinia, must be the cau?c. And
this appears etill more straugc when it is
remembered that not a single spring or
branch cf any kind enters it within one
thousand miles of iis mouth. It is strange
indeed, that in so hot a climate and so vast
au extent, the vo!uu;e of w;fcr is not
diminished by absorption and evaporation;
aud perhaps the facts that the water seem
to extend through the entire valley upon
tho same level with the Nile can alone
explain this contiuued fullness. The
sands from the desert3, which bound this
valley upon either side, seem to be con
stantly crowding upcu the fertile soil, and
the deposits of the river, which have raided
tt3 bed and bunks about fiftecu feet with
in three thousand bx hundred years, are
crowding in upon the desert, and thus,
as elsewhere in nature, autagoaisai main
tains the equilibrium.
Vulgar People.
" Those are not vulgar preple," says
Dante, 4 merely bec.vi.ye they live in 6mall
cottages, low phices; but those are not
vulgar who, by their thoughts and deeds
strive to shut out any view of beauty."--There
are vulgar rich men as well as vul
gar poor men. Being poor, is not of it
aelf a disqualification lor being a gentle-,
man To be a geutleuian, is be tdeva
tcd above others in sentiment rather than
situation; and the wr nun with an en
larged and pure mind lmy be happier,
too, than his rich neighbor without this
elevation. Let tho former ouly look at
nature with hu enlightened mind, a
uiind that cau gee and adore the Creator
in his works,' ean consider them as do
luoustations of his power, his wudoiu, his
goodncs, and his truth; this man is
greater as well as happier iu his poverty,
than the other in his riches. The one -is
but little higher than the beast, the other
is but little lower than the ange
Is."

A Sarions Question.
At the close of a lecture qu physiology
before an eveniug school not long since,
the lecturer, remarked that any one was
at liberty to ask questions upon the sub
ject, and lis would answer them as far as
he was able. A ycung lady with much
apparent sincerity, remarked that she had
a question to ask, though ihe vas not c?r
taia that it was a proper question she
would, however, venture ta ask if It
w's3 as 'follows :
"If on eli en lays an egg, and anothers
sits on it and hitches out a chicken, which
hen is mother of the chicken ?"
The Lecturer said :
"I will answer you in the Yankee style
by asking yen a question : If a little,
pretty, white, genteel, native pullet sits
oa an egg, of Oriental extraction, Kid
hatches a great homely, splinter shanked,
elub-sidsd, awkward guited Shanghai,
would you, il you were a pullet, owu tho
great hociclv monster?" "
"No, I wouldn't," said the lady.
"Very well," said the lecturer, "that
settles the questiou, for it is a principle
iu physiology that, hens think and act
alike, in all essential. particulars."
