Hair Vigor,
For restoring to Gray Hair its

A dressing
which is at

effectual foe
preserving the
hair. It soon
restores faded
Or gray hair
to its original
color, with the
gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and baldness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles aro de
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or fulling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma
tion of dandruff, which is often so un
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju
rious co the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long, on the hair, giving it a rich, gloasy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

ALLENTOWN, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOV MBER 20. 1872.
AN IRREPRESSIBLE BOY.
Mown Tonna. Rancid Made Things Un
' comfortable for him Meter and a Unehfnl
Mowing Man.
John Smith—you've heared of him—levery
bashful; is too bashful in truth. Ho was born
and raised in the country, His father gave
him a good education, and allows him plenty
of money. But John, with all other attain
ments, never could accustom himself to female
society, not because be did not like the girls
but because his nature would not permit him
to associate with the fair sex.
It once happened, not very long ago, that
John's father had some very important busi
ness to transact in this city. He had also
some very particular business to attend to at
home, which demanded his personal attention
and net possessing the power of übiquity, ho
delegated his son John to transact that bust•
nese in the city.
John being thus commissioned, immediate
ly proceeded to the city, and to the residence
of his father's old friend, whom he found to
boa very nice old t,entienaan,with a beautiful
daughter and gold spectacles. John was ush•
end into the parlor, (a new thing for him)
and motioned to a seat—no, a sofa (another
new thing).
But we must use his own language : I took
my seat and made observations. Everything
was fine, fine carpets, line sofas, fine tables,
fine curtains, fine books, Sine pianos, fine
everything, and especially a tine young lady
who was dressed in fine silk, fine satin—and
who:had fine curie, and a fine appearance geri
molly. After chatting with tht old gentleman
a few minutes, he took down his'bat, told me
to make myself at home for an hour or two,
and left me alone.with his daughter and a
young mischievous boy, the young lady's
brother. I didn't relish the situation at all.
The idea of keeping a city belle engaged in
conversation for two hours-perdition ; silence
reigned in the parlor for a short time, you
may bet. I amused myself as much as possi
ble with the boy—that , is, I loaned him my
knife and watch key, and watched him cut
holes in.t he carpet with the one, and spoil the
other. I don't know what I would have done
had it not been for that boy—ho was so good
to attract one's attention you know.
It Is true he asked Borne startling questions
occasionally, such as this : "Are you going
to court sister Emily but such things must
be expected under such circumstances.
Miss Emily, thinking, no doubt, to be a
good hostess she must keep her guest engaged
in conversation, asked me how I liked country
life, &c. She said it must be a beautiful stet

In.return, I thought, to keep up my part of
the conversation, it was necessary for me to
quote poetry and the like, which I did
Among other quotations,l unfortunately quot

"There Is a Divinity that shapes our ends,

At this juncture the boy, who had perched
himself upon my knee, looked very earnestly
and said : "Divinity shaped the end of your
nose mighty curious,"
I'm certain that I wished somebody would
spank the young rascal. We talked of hills

waterfalls, when the boy spoke up and said :
"Why, sister's got a trunk full of 'eta up

This.revelation (drunk into me, and blushes

It began to be very apparent to me that I

boy might slip in his remarks In uncalled for
places ; in tact, I turned my conversation to
him. I told him he ought to go home with
me, see what nice cnickens we bad in the
country. Unluckily I mentioned a yoke of

The word calves ruined all. The littlo fel

LADY LOAI'ERS
A. Cynical Anonyms writes to the Cincin
nati Commercial as follows :
Sometimes it seems to me that the whole
social life of woman Is based upon two ideas
—aping and envy. The woman who lives in
two little back rooms up stairs, apes and en
vies the woman who has a whole house to her
self. The woman who has small house apes
and envies the woman with a largo house,
and the woman with a largo house is in a
steady fever of tear and fretting lest she Le
not recognized and visited by the woman who
has a stone front house and a circus chariot
with a clown dressed up m buttons• No mat
ter how high up a woman climbs upon the
social ladder, there Italways still some higher
height which she can't scale, some other
woman over her head who looks down upon
her, and givesher days and nighteof Jealousy
and heartache. Not a blessed woman of them
all is happy and content In the soil wherein
fate has planted her, but must needs spend her
best time and strength in frantic efforts to
pull herself by the roots and transplant herself
somewhere else. The snobs who ride In cir
cus chariots curl up their noses at the school
mistresses, the echoolmietresses look down
from infinite heights upon the clerks and dress
makers, and the clerks and dressmakers in
turn pay it off with the interest upon the
kitchen girls. What nonsenese, what supreme
tomfoolery it all is. is a schoolmistress any
bettor or higher up than a washerwoman
Not a bit. And are not the schoohnistressand
the washerwoman both infinitely better and
higher up.than the lady loafers,—the Stofe
Moores-of the feminine sex, in short Y Yea,
verily.
Woman are the most absurd creatures, all
owing to the silly fancy that it is lady-like to
be a. loafer. A little time ago one of my small
busy housekeeper friends asked a lady-loafer
caller what had become of her sister :
" She goes down town every day, now,"
says the lady•loafer, hesitatingly.
"Is she at work ?" quoth the housekeeper.
"Well, ye—yes," says the lady loafer, still
more hesitatingly.
" What does she do ?" asked my friend.
The lady-loafer stammered and backed off
painfully, two or three times, and finally made
a clean breast of it, thusly :
"She—she—she has charge of the trim
mings In a—dress-making establishment. She
has nothing to do with the dress-making.
She has charge of the trimmings. It's not a
. common dress-making establishment. It's
one of the fashionable dress-makers. She
won't make a dress for a poor person."
"Oh glory I fan me with a cabbage leaf I"
quoth my friend, the small busy housekeeper.
The idea of a dody's dress-maker setting
herself to be "highatockraeo." The laurels
of the lady loafers In the circus chariots are
quite laded and withered after that. And yet,
why not a dress-maker I' Isn't money made
at dressmaking quite as aristocratic as money
Made with pork, whiskey, hides, soap, tallow
and tobacco I' Those are the material foun
dations upon which our American nobility
found their airy castles of aristocracy, you
know, and I'm sure dress-making is quite as
high and honorable as any of them.
Removal of the Shops of the Reading
Railroad.
Rumors have been afloat for some time that
the Reading Railroad Company Intended to
remove their shops from that clty,a fact iyhich
has greatly alarmed_the people thereof. Re.
cently, as we learned from the Reading Dis
patch, of the Bth inst., the President and Di
rectors of the company were in the city,when
an interview took place with citizens and Mr.
Gowen, at which:the following was elicited :
Mr. Gowen stated that not until a very re
cent period had the company ever thought of
locating their shops elsewhere. On the con
trary, it was their purpose greatly to enlarge
their industral establishments at this point.
The building of the car shops, on North Sixth
street, destroyed by fire a year or so ago ; the
erection of the large new brick foundry at
Seventh and Spruce, and machine shops, be
tween Chestnut and Franklin, was cited as an
evidence of their good intentions in this re
spect. Arrangements had also been made to
teer down all the old buildings still standing
on the blocks owned by the company, between
Franklin and Chestnut, arid Chestnut and
Spruce, and erect new and commodious work
shops and offices in their place. It was not
until the corporate authorities of the city in
their official capacity, allowed themselves to
be made partizans in a leeal contest with a
rival road, for right of way over what they
conceived to be their own ground, that the
Heading company took the alarm, and felt
that the further Investment of their capital in
a town that appeared so decidedly hostile to
their interests, would be Imprudent and im
politic.
We gather further, from the conference with
Mr. Gowen, that the company is seriously
considering the expediency of purchasing
several thousand acres of land at some eligi
ble point on the line of their roads for the pur
pose of building up khrn of their own,which
they would make theffegreat manufacturing
depot and business headquarters. It will be
recollected that many years ago, the Penn
sylvania railroad company removed their ex
tensive shops from Packersburg,Chester coun
ty,and built the railroad town of Altoona,w hich
has since grown Into a floursishing city. A
similar course was adopted a few years ago
by the Sunbury and Erie road, which built up
the town of Renovo in Clinton county, on the
west branch of the Susuuehanna, above Wil
liamsport. In these towns the real estate is
mainly if not entirely owned by the companies
named, and the houses, hotels, stores and ma
chine shops leased to the citizens, who are .
mostly employees on their roads. The present
officers of the Reading company held that the
removal of their shops, manufactories and
thousands of employees to a new locality,
would at once build up a flourishing commu
nity, and that the loss they would sustain by
the Bale or abandonment of their present e B
tablishment would be more than made up by
the rapid appreciation of property in the new
town, which would always be under their ex
elusive proprietary and municipal control.
NO PECUNIARY AID NEEDED
Boston is righting up with wonderful rapid-
Ity, and It is hardly too much to say that the
disaster has already sunk in the popular esti
mation to the level of any fire calamity a little
larger than usual. The newspapers are crowd
ed with notices of resumption of business by
most of the sufferers in new localities. No
bank has suspended, and it really appears that
a little forbearance upon the part of creditors
with perhaps some extension of banking fa•
citifies, is all that is required to set Boston firm
ly on her feet. The offers of pecuniary assist
ance which are pouring in here from all
outset the country must in the end be de•
clined. It will not require over $lOO,OOO to
make the few poor families burned richer
than they were before the fire, and it is
not proboble that the merchants and real
estate owners, who have been the principal
sufferers, will need or accept pecuniary aid.
The city authorities are placed in an ,unpleas
ant dilemma by the haste with which the first
offers of assistance were accepted, as they
cannot with any decency receive such aid.
The buoyancy of feeling is so great that there
Is not only a general disinclination that any
outside aid of the kind which has been so
largely proffered shall be received, but quite
a formidable opposition Is already appearing
to the project of the Legislature authorizing
the city to Issue bonds to aid in the rebuild
ing.
'"WO HOURS IN CASTLE GARDEN.
"And what Is the mair, and where do you
conic from ?" I iniptiredt f a little fellow with
a mond, chubby face, who was seated discon
solately on a trunk, keeping guard over a
satchel and an umbrella, inside of Castle Gar

" Testament and London" vas the reply
The former portion of the answer I could not
understand; " And where ain you going to?"
I asked.
" North Atiteriky," replied the little boy.
" Why that's hardly any place at all. You
are there now. lint what part of North
America ?"
" Don't know—only it's North Ameriky for

here his sturdy Anglo Saxon nature showed
forth, for he doubled his little list as if to hit
somebody, and then, being but a small child,
overcome by the sense of injustice, he burst
into tears. I was just bestirring myself to re
capture his book, when from the centre of the
rotunda, emerging from. those cattle pane,
where the immigrants are stalled, I saw a
bright business like looking little woman

to work in an instant she went to recover it, I

she required no assistance. The offending

er in an instant. " That's right, Johnny,"
she said triumphantly. " It's almost a sin to
quarrel over such a good book, but do you at
ways stick tip for your rights, and fight for 'em
if you must. Ile must be hungry, little decoy,
for I know I atn. There ain't no porter or
beer to be 'ad about 'ere, is there ?" she asked,
for the first time addressing me. " No, ma'am,
but you can get bread and meat here, If you
want," and I pointed to a refreshment stand.
4 ' It's precious little money I have to spare.
That poor boy's father was a good husband,
and I never knowed what it was to want for
anything. He was a mathematical Instrument
maker, and was adoing well, when the Lord
took him away from its. My own brother,
when he heard of it—that was twelve months
ago—sent for me and the boy, but it was most
eight months afore I could settle matters.
Brother's name is William H—. Ile lives
in St. Louis, and is a gunsmith. May be you
know him The money he sent is just enough
to take us to him. He is a good brother, and
has been asaving for six months to get enough
toget her to pay Ills passage-money. Dear me
what a worrit it is to be a lone woman, when
there's luggage to bother with. Now, you
wouldn't mind being so obliging as to stay just
five minutes with the child here ; there's that
same drunken fellow prowling around here,"
and apparently taking it for granted that I had
complied with her wishes, she was off again.
I turned to my companion. " Hungry,
Johnny ?" I asked. "Just ain't I." "Got
any money ?"
" This here crooked sixpence Aunt Chloe
tied around my neck, which I must never,
never spend. Mother said she would buy me
some victuals."
" Well, Johnny, let's have something."
" Mother said I wasn't to pay any attention
to strangers, but I am hungry ; but I ain't go
ing to leave this 'ere luggage."
" Well, stay where you are; I'll bring you
something ;" and I went to the lunch, counter,
Johnny following me With wistful eyes. Cas.
tie Garden sandwiches are no fragile diapho
nous thing. The approved sandwich, costing
ten cents, is half a loaf of bread, superimposed
by a chunk of meat or a sausage. This, with
half a pie, made up the luncheon. All this
was placed before the hungry Johnny, who
ate with a will. Just then the mother came
back. She watched the feast for a moment,
and then I noticed a tear in her eye. " And
I, who bad forgot the poor child, that he was
hungry ; and I can't think of your paying for
it ;" and she brought out from the depths of
her pocket a bright English shilling, which I
had great difficulty In preventing her forcing
on me ; " and I ain't rich, you know, but It's
good for the to see a stranger kind to pool
folk, and we'll shake hands, and I'll take your
name, and if yoviever come to St. Louis you'll
look us up. And now we'll shake hands for
good-by again, for I must be going. There is
some friends of mine going to Chicago, and
they tell me my place, where I am to find my
brother, is a longish bit off yet. So good-by
to you," and with a hearty shake of the hand,
I wishing her froth my very soul God speed,
she lifted up tier trunk, shouldered It much
more easily than I could have done it, gave
Johnny the satchel and the umbrella, and they
were off.
I gazed at the post of dee3rated with the
translations of post office in all known lan.
guages. I made them all out but one, and
that was Lyt h urd ay. Somewhat of a polyglot
I asked for information, and was pleased to
have been able to add one Welsh word to my
vocabulary. Just then a clerk with the sharp.
est and most ringing of voices, shouted "Mary
Kegan I—Mary Kogan I" at the top of his
voice. He was followed by what, I think,
were two Irish servant girls, who were dreseed
in their best, with no end of red plumes in
their bonnets. Mary Kegan did not answer
to the call. Suddenly there was an express-
lon of delight In one of the faces of the two
woman and rustling forward she was met by
a flne•looking girl, who bounded like a deer
over the benches to meet her. There was an
embrace, a dozen kisses, a plentiful flow of
tears, and perhaps Mary Megan went through
then one of the happiest moments of her ex
istence. After all, she was not a lone girl In
ri strange land, but among her kinsfolk. May
be before she had been with them ten min
utes, and after Teddy's and Paddy's and No
rah's health had been satisfactorily explained
the question of where that elegant bonnet
which they sported, with the showy flowers,
came from, and how soon she might be able
to buy one, was thoroughly discussed and elu
cidated.
Ono woman, with a glorious face and a pro
fusion of rich golden hair, with a sturdy baby
at her breast, Was holding in her hand a dress
of gay colors. 1 got once a smattering of her
language In the thirds and bays and gulls 0 1
Norway, and this was what she said to a
friend :
" And I would put on 'the best dress I have
to meet him with. Gone a year—twelve long
long months—and I have not seen him, nor
has ho seen hie child I nurse I and they tell me
I must travel still further. Am I tot arrived
in the United States ? And they speak to me
of a town called Boston I My God I will I
never, never see my dear husband ?" Seeing
I was Interested, she asked me in her strange,
strange patois, which I could barely under
stand, " How far Is Boston ?" •
"But a few hours," I replied. The poor
woman would have kissed my hand. " And
some tell me I must travel yet months to see
him. We are but poor Ignorant people, and
I did not know that God had made this beau
tiful country so larger Then at farthest, I
may see him to-morrow ?" "Yes," I replied.
Then, kissing her child, she laughed aloud,
and then burst into tears.
Ono group singularly interested me. There
was a father, a mother, and three daughters.
Evidently they belonged to the better class of
French immigrants. The man was Iron; ,10.-
sass. "I am a paper-maker by trade," he told .
me, "and there is nothing I cannot do in that
line, from making pulp to adjusting or even
manufacturing the machinery. We have been
paper.makers on. the Vosges, from fallen to

the sticks, nor the showers of blows but of
late, to do them justice, they have been

little pass-book, detailing who he was,hia pro
fession,and where he lived, all stamped with
the seal of the Imperial arms and a final para.
graph signed by some Prussian official. "Ab,

you tell me anything about her?" I had one
of our Now York French journals In my.

he said, "here is areal French journal,publlsh.

ed for the moment to interest him less than
the quality of the paper. "Good quality—quite

was a gun—of fearful length, apparently a
century old, with its old flint lock, and stuck
on top of it was a woman's bonnet. There
was a parrot in a cagf,wh ich chattered in some
unknown dialect in a most constant manner,
as if anxious to find an interpreter. Present-
ly a fine-looking military man approached the
woman. That he had been a soldier was
manifest from his bearing, the stripe down his
pantaloon leg showing that he musthave been
in Prussian service. Then there was a stolid
Scotehman In a bonnet, :with a heavy tartan
wrapped around him, who remained smoking
and pondering In a corner for two mortal
hours without budging, until a merry little
lass came tripping in, gazed around for a mo
ment, then ran to him and kissed him, and
there was joy in the demure Scotchman's lace
as arm in arm they left the pla'ce. More clerks
came now running in, shouting out people's
names, who never replied todthem, one crier
distinguishing himself like Demosthenes, only
instead of pebbles, he had his mouth filled
with apple. There were squads of half-grown
boys in high-lows and fustian jackets, who
lounged about in a s , tolid wag, recalling White
Chapel and munched Castle Garden sand
whiches, and then smoked shorts pipes, and
got in people's way and impeded progres.
There was even a love epiode, the parting of
a young woman and a bright young fellow.
"They were both on the ship together," said
my informant, a Liverpool docklaborer,come
to New York to try his fortune, "and they
just made up to one another without their
folks knowing it, and he's a tidy lad and a
wheelwright by trade, and she's an honest
girl. He is going out West to an uncle, and
she's going to stay here in service. It's a bad
thing, I tells them, to be courting and a splic :
ing of one another before they knows what's
going to happen to ,em." I could not help
but cast a look at them. There was an honest
frank expression about the young fellow as ho
kissed the girl—not, I hope, for the last time
—as, taking one last long look at her; he pick
ed up his bundle and strode out. She, poor
thing, when he was gone, went into a dark
corner and I saw that she was weeping: May
their loves run smooth.
If somebody was to ask me, as an expert,
how I could distinguish the newly arrived Ira
migrant,putting aside his national appearance,
discarding all the varieties of dress, save one,
I should unhesitatingly reply, "By his boots
if he is a man, by her shoes If she is a wo
man." The blouse, the jacket, the jerkin, the
overall, the bonnet, the skull-cap, the turban,
have, in cosmopolitan New York, both inside
and outside Castle Garden, lost their charac•
terietic features, but the peculiar physiognomy
of the boots and shoes points to the wearers as
new corners to the land of liberty--New York
Times. •

THE ANDERSONVILLE PRISON.
Ito Condition To-Dny
A letter from Andereonville to. the Cincin
nati Commercial says : •
The first thing that strikes the traveler as he
approaches this memorable place is the old
flag suspended one hundred and eighty feet
in the air, waving gracefully to the breeze
arid standing sentinel over what remains of
thirteen thodsand seven hundred and sixteen
departed faithful soldiers for the Union.
I have made it my business to make exten
sive Inquiries before reaching thin place, and
have heard condemned, in unmeasured terms
the course pursued by Wirtz and his small,
ring; they say, were not actuated by
any love fcr the lost cause, but by a desire to
profit from the misery of those under their nuf
thority. Every soldier that came into prison
had money and many watches and rings, 'all'
of which found its way into the hands of a
few outside she stockade. Principle never
governed Wirtz. There was a total want of
moral sense. lie never knew a generous erno.'
Lion ; cold and heartless, ho thought only of
gain and selfish gratification. But he is dead
—peace to his ashes. The cemetery le under
immediate charge of John Maloney, on Irish
man, who, in ono year will have served in the
army, under the stars and stripes, a quarter
of a century. He was among the faithful be
trayed by Twiggs in Texas. He loves the
old flag as he loves his life. It does one good
to see this old veteran suffuse with tears, as
be recounted his hopes and fears during the
severe struggle through which we have just
passed.
The cemetery is beautifully situated, just
north from the stockade, on gently rolling
land, embracing in the enclosure thirty-seven
areres of ground ; a neat substantial fence sur
rounds it, and within this an osage hedge is
being cultivated, that will ultimately serve as
a fence, and also add much to the beauty of
the place. Fine carriage avenues are being
constructed, many of which are completed ;
trees are planted and are growing finely on
the sides of them, and in a very few years the
tops will meet, creating a dense and cool shade
making a delightful drive. Five thousand five
hundred feet of surface drains have been laid
along the avenues. The soil washes so easily
here that brick drains are necessary. There
are employed here, beside the superintendent
four colored laborers and two mules, all of
whom are kept constantly busy. A comfort.

em Georgia, with its chills and fever, has no
attraction for a stranger, or even the native
citizen. The dead were laid in trenches side
by side, and if they had any article of cloth
ing worth wearing, our own men would take
it to cover their nakedness, or keep out the
chilling blast of winter—no coffin, no clothing
often (and nearly always) but their naked
frames. A neat headboard made of wood now
marks their last resting place, with name, age
regiment and company. And yet there aro
many marked "unknown," and will always
remain so until the great muster day in that
eternal world above.
The first man buried here was J. Bwarner,
a German, Company H, 2d New York Cav
alry ; died Febuary 27, 1864. The last man
that died was R. Hanson, Company F,
Wisconsin Infantry; died April 1865—a per
iod of fourteen months. During this time 13,
716 brave soldiers passed away, nearly one
thousand a month. The largest number dy
ing any one dayas on the 20th day of Aug
ust, 1864, when eMe hundred and sixty-six
were buried. The most painful spot to visit
was the graves of those executed in the stock•
ado by our own men for the murders and vio
lence they had committed. The gallows is
still partially standing, an additional monu
ment of the accumulated miseries our men suf
fered. The auperintendant Is making good
use of Wirtz's bath-tub : filling it with dirt;
he is propagating flowers to ornament the
grounds..
After visiting the cemetery we went to the
stockade. It Is fast falling into decay, and in
a year or two will all be down, and everything
that marked the suffering of our soldiers will
have passed away. The grounds within the
stockade that was once so bare of every shrub
and even root, for I was informed that the sol
diers would dig for the tiniest root to secure
fuel to warm their aching limbs, is now grown
up with shrub oak and bushes, until you can
hardly get through them. The dead line, just
seventeen feet from the stockade, le so far de
cayed that but few traces of it are left. Here
many a poor victim has bitten the dust, it•may
be from a chance misstep cr a determination
to end his misery. There are about thirty.five
wells still remaining that were dug with spoons
and cups, while rope made of blankets was
used to draw up the dirt and afterward the
water. They are from sixty to eighty feet
deep, and while peering into them, side en
trances may be discovered that led some to
light, outside, and freedom. Every prisoner
hero doubtless remembers the providential
apring.that opened near the dead line, on the
hillside, during a violent thunderstorm. one
autump night and continued to flow so freely
as to supply nearly the whole camp with deli
cious water. Well, this spring is running as
freely still, and at it I quenched my thirst,and
also in the stream, where so many have wash
ed their aching bodies, I, too, stripped off my
clothing and took a generous bath, thankful
that it was under so different auspicled.
The forte, of which there are several, still
preserve their original appearance, and show
less of decay than anything else about here.
Yet, trees are growing in them, and soon•these
as well as the space within the stockade, will
be so densely covered with the thicket as tone
rendered Impassable, and thus biding every
thing that makes it an object for a stranger to
visit here. All the money and labor is spent
on the cemetery, and no pains are taken to
preserve the stockade grounds in their °rigi

emotion in me, for there I felt the soldier se.
