Pnor. Woon : Thee willt please accept a line to inform thee that the hair on my head all fell off over twenty years ago, caused by a com plicated chronic disease, attended with an erup tion on the head. A contin cal course of sear ing through life having reduced me Ma state of dependence, I have not been able to obtain stuff for caps, neither have I been able to do them up, in consequence of which my head has suffered extremely from cold. This induced me to pay Briggs & Hodges almost the last cent I had on earth for a two dollar bottle of thy Hair Restorative about the first of August last. I have faithfully followed the directions and file bald spot is now covered with hair thick and black, though short, it is also coining in all over my head. Feeling confident that another large bottle would restore it entirely and per manently, I feel anxious to persevere in its use, and being destitute of means to purchase any more, I would ask thee if thee wouldst not be willing to send pe an order on thine agents for a battle, and receive to thyself the scripture declaration—"the reward is to those who are kind to the widow and the fatherless" Thy friend, SUSANNAH KIRBY. Ligonier Noble Co., Indiana, Peb. 5, 1559. PROF. 0. J. Wood: Dear Sir :—in the latter part of the year 1b52, while attending the State and National Law School of the State of New York, my hair, from a cause unknown to me, commenced falling off very rapidly, so that in the short space of six months the whole upper part of my scalp was almost entirely bereft of its covering, and much of the remaining por tion upon the side and back part of my head shortly after became gray, so that you will not be surprised when 1 tell you that upon my re turn to the State of Indiana, my mere casual acquaintances were not so much at a loss -to discover the cause of the change in my appear mice, as my more intimate acquaintances were to recognise me at all. I at once made application to the most skill ful physician in the country, but, receiving no assurance from them that my hair could again be restored, I was forced to become reconciled to my fate, until, fortunately, in the latter pait of the year 1857,i 3 otir Restorative was recom mended to me by a druggist, as being the most reliable Hair Restorative in use. I tried one bottle, and found to my great satisfaction that it was producing the desired effect. Since that time, 1 have used seven dollars' worth of your Restorative, and as a result, have a rich coat of very soft black hair, which no money can buy. 'As a mark of my gratitude • for your labor and skill in the production of so, wonderful an article, I have recommended its use to many of my friends and acquaintances, who, I am hap py to inform you, are using it with like effect. Very respectfully yours, A. al. LATTA, Attorney and Counsellor at Law.

By Finley Johnson What gift shall the fairies bring thee, love From their home, far, far away, Where the sunbeams dance with the elfin throng Ina land of eternal day? Shall it be, dear one, the priceless gift Of a never fading bloom, That would cause thy lips to smile in scorn At the dismal shadowy tomb? If so, then drink of the genii's cup, And the spoiler shall , pass thee by, 'hen the friends of thy youth are stricken low, And all in the grave yard lie. Oh, no, oh, no! thou cravest not that, For the youth of thy soul were gone, If those thou lovest would leave thee here In sorrow and in anguish alone ; Away, away with that bitter cup. For it thy soul cannot bless, Thou scorn est the gift I know that would make Thee think of thy brethren less; For how, oh, how Could we live on earth, Possessing no kindred eye, To reflect in its rays of love divine, Our own immortality ? Wouldst thou have a gift, beloved one, To read through the hearts of those Upon whose faith thou bast firmly relied, And sought on their breasts repose? Then wear this gem in thy inmost heart, For it bath powerto show The danger that comes o'er the soul of love, And the warmth of affection's glow; And thou canst look with an eagle eye On its flushing or fading hue, And learn if the heart thou lovest so well Is false, or ste . adfast, or true. Away, away, with that sparkling gem, I know thou cravest it not, Thou wouldst not harbor within thy soul One doubt thou wouldst have forgot; That though, the deep, stormy love of thy heart Should trampled be hi the dust,. yet wouldst thou keep in its inmost cell 'A fragment of hope and trust; For, oh, what sorrow, and anguish, and pain, The heart of despair can trace, When doubts and suspicions dim the light That beams from a loved one's face. Thou refusest all—then tell me, love, What the gift of the , fairies shall be, What favor, what smiles shall the elfin throng Shower, my love, on thee'? Thou wilt not drink of the tempting cup, That gives thee a life divine ; . . Thou scornest the jewels and treasures rich Of earth's richest s and deepest mine; Thou wilt not read'througlr the heart of those Upon Whose bosoms thou rest; Then answer, love, what gift shall they bring That shall please thee of all the best? I have it, love—thou cravest no sway. O'er the powers unseen, But only pine for a loving heart On which thou canst fondly lean ; And a friend, a faithful, trustful friend, In.whom thou canst fondly trust, Whose faith, and love, and sincerity Shall not be crushed in the dust; That gift shall he thine, for the links of love That bind us, nothing can sever, Be true but to love, and I in return Shall adore thee forever and ever. THE WHITEWASHING SEASON : The sea ron for whitewashing having now arrived, the following directions for making in door wh itewash will just come in play. Those who have used it pronounce it the best ever introduced : For a'moderate size house, say Blooms, about 33 lbs. of Paris white, and 1 lb. best white glue are needed. Dissolve the glue in hot water, also make a thick wash with the Paris white and .hot water, and add the dis solved glue and sufficient w z ater to make the wash of the proper consistence. As the mass stiffens over night, it is better to mix each morning what is wanted du ring the day. If left over night, warm, or add hot water to make it limpid. The Paris white chalk cleansed from its impurities and is only a very pure whiteing,—better than is ordinarily used for making putty. Some used the Cooper glue, which is considered the best, but any good white glue will answer. It costs about 50 cents per lb. at retail, and the Paris white 3 cents per lb.— Both articles can be obtained in almost every city or village. The above makes an excellent white wash, Cleari and white, and not easily rubbed off. Its first cost is more than lime wash, but it is durable, and for nice rooms it is far preferable. itgrln the Mississippi Legislature a proposal was made to alter the name of a county, and call it Cass county.

BY GEORGE LIPPARD They brought him a dollar. • He took it, clutched his long, skinny fingers, tried its sound against the bed post, and then gazed at it long and in tently with dull leaden eye. That day, in the hurry of business, Death had struck him, even in the street. He was hurrying to collect the last month's rent, and was on the verge of the miserable court where his tenents herded like wild beasts in their kennels -he was there with his hand upon him. Ile was carried home to his splendid mansion. ' He was laid on a satin cover let. The lawyer, the relations, and the preacher were sent for. All day long he lay speechless, moving his right hand, as though in the act of counting money. At midnight he spoke. He asked for a dollar, and they brought one to him ; lean and gaunt he lay upon his death bed, and clutched it with the grip of death. A shaded lamp stood upon the table, near the bed, and the lofty ceiling all said gold I as plain as the human lips could say it. • His hair and eyebrows were white,— His cheeks sunken, and his lips surround ed by wrinkles that indicate the passion of avarice. As he sat up in . his bed, with his neck bared and the silken cov erlet wrapped about his lean frame, his white hair and eyebrows contrasting with his wasted and wrinkled face, he looked like a ghost. And there was life in his leaden eye; all that life was cen tred on the dollar, which he gripped in his clenched fist. His wife, a pleasant faced, matronly woman, was seated at the foot of the bed. His son, a young man of twenty-one, dressed in the last touch of fashion, sat by the lawyer. The lawyer ,sat before the table, pen in hand and gold specta cles on his, nose. There was a huge parchment spread before him. "Do you think he will make a will ?" asked the son. "Hardly conipos mentis yet," was the whispered reply. "Wait, he will be lu cid after a while." "My dear," said his wife, "had I not better send for a preacher ?" She arose took her dying husband by the hand, but he did not mind. His eye was upon the dollar. He was a rich man, He owned pala ces on Walnut street, and hovels and courts in the outskirts. He had iron mines in this State;.copper mines on the lakes somewhere and he had golden interests in California. His name was bright upon the records of twenty banks, he had half a dozen papers in'his pay. He knew but one crime—to be in debt without the power to pay. He knew but one virtue—to get money. That crime he had never forgotten in the long way of thirty five years. To hunt down a debtor, to distress a tenant, to turn a few thousands by a sharp speculation—these were the achieve ments of his life. He was , a good man—his name was upon a pew door of a velvet cushioned church. He was a benevolent man—for every thousand dollars he wrung from the ten ants of his courts, or from the debtors who writhed beneath his heel, he gave ten dollars to some benevolent institu tion. He was a just man, the gallows and jail always found him a faithful and Un swerving advocate. And now he is a dying man—see .f As he sets on the ,bed of death, with the dol lar in his clenched fist. Oh ! holy dollar P object of his' life long pursuit, what comfort bast thou for him now on his bed of death I At length the dead man revived and dictated his will. It was strange to see the mother, the son and the lawyer inut'- tering and wrangling beside the bed of death. All the while thetestator clench ed,the dollar in his right hand. While the will was being made the preacher came—even he who held the pastoral charge of the great church, whose pew .doors bore saintly names on silver plate, and whose seats, on Sabbath day, groaned beneath the load of respec tability, broadcloth and satin. He came and said his prayers--deepr ously and in measured words—but never once did the dying man relax the hold on the dollar. "Can't you read me something—say quickly, don't you see I'm going ?" said the rich man at length, turning to the preacher. - The preacher, whose cravat" was of the whitest, took a book with golden Olisp from a marble table and read : Dollar a, Year-- "And I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." • • "Who said them words—who—Who ?" fairly shrieked the dying man, shaking his hand Which clenched the dollar at the preacher's head. • The preacher hastily turned over tlie . leaf and did not reply. "Why did you not tell me of this be fore ? Why did you never preach from it as I sat in plug church ? Why,?',' The preacher did not reply butturned over another leaf. But the dying. man would not be quieted. "As it is easier for a camel. to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God, is it 7 Then what is to became of me? Am 1 not rich 7 What tenant did I ever spare or release ?" "And you•stood up, Sunday after Sun day, and never said one word about the camel." The preacher, in search of consoling passages, turned rapidly over the leaves, and in his confusion came to this passage, and read :' "Go now ye, rich men, weep and howl, for your miseries shall come upon you. Your gold and silver is cankered, and the' rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as if it were fire ; ye heaped' treasurers to , gether for the last days: Behold the hire of the laborers who liave reaped dbwn your fields, which is of you kept by fraud crieth, and the cries of them which have reaped and entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabbath. "And yet you never preached that to me." The preacher who had blundered through. the passage of James which have quoted, knew not what he said. Then the wife drew near and strove to comfort him, and the son, attempted a word of consolation. Butivith the dol lar in his hand lie sank into death, talk ing of stocks, of rents, of copper mines, of cancels, of tenant and debtor, until the breath left his lips. Thus he died. When he was cold the preacher arose and asked the lawyer whether the de ceased had left anything to such a char itahle society, which had been engrafted upon the preacher's church. And the wife, closed his eyes and tried to wrench the dollar from his grasp, but in vain, he clutched it as though tit were the only Saviour to light him through the darkness of eternity. . And the son sat down with dry,eyes, and , thought, of the hundreds of thousands that were now his own. Next day there was a hearse followed by a train of carriages nearly a\ mile long. There was a crowd around,the open grave, and an elegant sermon on the virtues of the deceaSed by the preach er, There was' flattering of crape bad ges, and rolling of carriages, and—no tears. They left the dead man and re turned to the place where sorrow died even as the crape, was, taken from the door knob. And in the grave, the dead hand still clenched the dollar.
