THE TEST OF YEARS,
And grows more and more popular every, Day.
A"grows more and more popular every
day ! and testimonials, new, and almost
without number, might be given froin ladies
and gentlemen in all grades of society, whose
united testimony none could resist, that Prof.
Wood's Bair Restorative will restore the bald
and gray, and preserve the hair of the youth to
old age, in all its youthful beauty.
Battle Creek, Mich., Dec. 21st, 1853.
• PROF. WOOD : Thee willt please accept a
line to inform thee that the hair on my head all
fell off over iwerity years ago, caused by a com
plicated, chronic disease, attended with an erup
tion on the head. A contin ea] course of suffer
ing through life having reduced me to a state Of
dependence, I have not been able to obtain
stud 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 cen t
'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
:he 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 n -, e'an order on thineagents for
a bottle, and receive to thyself the scripture
declaratidn—"the reward is to those who are
kind to the widow and the fatherless."
Thy friend, SUSANNAH KIRBY.

Pular. 0. J. WooD": Dear Sir :‘ , —fis the latter
part of the year 1552, while attending the State
and National Law School of the State of New
York, my hair, from a cause unknown to me,
commenced faltmg 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 uray, so that you will not
be surprised when you that upon my re
turn to the State of ludiana,'my mere casual
acquaintances were not so much. at a loss tql
discover the cause of the change in my appear:-
ance, as my more intimate acquaintances were
to recognise me at all.
1 at once made application to the most skill
ful physician in the country, but, receiving no
assurance from them thatmly hair could again
be restored, I teas &reed to becoMe reconciled
to my fate, until, fortunately, in the latter past
of the year 1857, your_Restorative was recom
mended to ine by a druggist, as being the most
tellable 1-lair Restorative in ule. 1 tried one
bottle, and found to my great satisfaction that
it was producing the desired effect. Since that
time, I have used seven dollars' worth of your
Restorative, and as a result, have a rich coat of
very seat black hair, which no money can buy.
As a mark of my gratitude for your labor
and skill in the prodindion of so wonderful an
article, I have recommended its use to many of
My friends and acquaintances, who, I um hap
py to inform you, are using it with like effect.
Very respectfully yours, A. M. LATTA,.
Attorney and Counsellor at Law.

Up with th) Flag of the Free !
Down with the traitorous,rag,
The serpent-twined Palmetto tree
-Wlio'would the Union sever
Disgrace and dishonor and shame,
A stain on our annals forever,
Shall cling round his leprous name
. Up with the People's standard !
Unfurled for the Rights of All.
Tie ! Patriots press to the vanguard,
The first at your Country's call.
While a planet still lingers in heaven,
A leaf clings to Liberty's tree, .

LIB'S MEDITATIONS.
Kneeling and Rocking the Cradle. ' j
What isthe little one thinking about!'
Very wonderful things, no doubt,
Unwritten history!
Unfathomable mystery !
Yet he laughs and cries, and eats, and drinks,
And chuCkles, and crows, and nods, and winks,
As if hiS head were as full of kinks
And curious riddles as any spynx !
Warped by elliptic, and wet by tears,
Punctured by pins and tortured by, fears,
Our little nephew will loose two years;
And he'll never know •
Where the summers go
He need not laugh, for he'll find it so !
Who can tell what a baby thinks?
Who can follow the gossamer links,
By which the manikin feels his way
Out from the shore of the great unknown.
Blind and wailing, and alone,
Into the light of day ?
What does he think of his mother's eyes ?
What does he think of his mother's hair.?
What of the cradle roof that flies
Forward and backward thrdugh the air?
What does be think of his mother'S breast—
Cup of his life and couch of his rest?
What does lie think When her quick embrace
Presses his hand and buries his face,
Deep where the heart throbs sink and swell •
With a tenderness she can never tell,
Though she murmurs the words
Of all the birds— -
Words she has learned to inurmer well?
Now he thinks he'll go to sleep!
I can see the shadow creep
thier his eyes, in soft eclipse,
Over his brow, and over his lips,
Out to his little finger-tips !
Softly sinking down he goes.!
Down he goes I Down he goes !
[Rising and carefully retreating to her seat.]
See! lie is li.siied in sweet repose
Popping t 1 Question.
Lord Justice-Clerk Braxfield was a
man of few words and strong business
haMts. In courting his second wife, his
precedure was entirely illustrative of the
peculiarities of his character. Calling
for the lady, he said to lief, u - itho . nt
preliminary remark, " Lizzie, I am look
ing out for a wife, and I thought von .
just that the person that would suit me.
Let me have your answer, off or on, the
morn, and nee mair about it." The lady
next day replied in the affirmative.
Perhaps he repented his precipitancy,
for when a butler gave' warning on ac
count of Mrs. Braxfield's scolding pro-
pensities, the Judge replied :
" Lord, mon, ye'ce little to complain
o' ; ye may be thankfu' ye're no married
to ber."
The late Professor D— was, prior ,
to his appointment to k!s ckair,rector
of an academy in . Forfarshire., He was
particularly , reserved his intercourse
with the fair sex ; but, in prospect of
obtaining a professorship, he ventured to
make Proposals to a lady. They were,
walking together, 'and the important
question was put Without 'preliminary
sentiment or note of warning. Of course
the lady replied by a gentle "No l"=
The subject was immediately dropped ;
but the parties soon met again. "Do
you , rernember," at length said the lady,
"a question which you put to me when
we last met ?" The Professor said that
he remembered. "And do you remem
ber my answer, Mr. D--?" " 0 yes,"
said the Professor. " Well, Mr.
proceeded the lady, " I have been led, on
consideration, to change my mind."—
" And so have I," drily responded the
Professor. He maintained his bachelor
hood to tile' close.—Dr. Rogers' " illus

What 'is the Price?
You are going to enter into 71
matrimonial state, are yOu Mr. Brown ?
And you think you're coming ipto pos
.
session of an angel?
Yes, but angels cost money. Did it
ever occur to you what an expensive
article Sour fashionable young wife was
likely to prove ? Bless your unsophis
ticated soul ! you've no more idea of•it
than you have of the Prfce of onions or
the market value of a wash-tub. You'll
find out one day, however—to your
grief. -
Two or three stout Irish girls to wait
on her—a French maid to arrange her
hair—fifty dollar - silks and camel's hair
shawls to make her female friends en
vious, and half a dozen. bonnets per
annum—white kid gloves .and silver
card cases—otto of roses and bouquet
holders—Why, you deluded young Juan,
she'll throw Money out with her ringed
and lily-white fingers faster by ; the
bushel, than you can shovel it in with a
spade ! You don't believe it ? Let us
make a rough estimate, then of what she
will cost in full promenade costume.
Bonnet (a love of a thing, the sweetest
white chip, and such a bargain) fifteen
dollars. India shawl (of course you
wont be such a brute as to expect your
wife to wear common cashmere or broche
just like the the butcher's better half)
only seventy-five, the cheapest thing . in
New:York? Dress, an eleven-flouoced
silk, forty-five dollars, including the
triremings and the poorly paid labor of
the hollow-cheeked dress-maker;, Val
enciennes collars and sleeves, at twenty.
five'; cunning, little heeled gaiter briots
three ; gloves, one ; Etruscan bracelet,
fifty, (you expect your wife to dress like
other women, don't you ? and everybody
has Etruscan bracelets;) brooch - and `ear:
rings in Italion cameo, _thirty; card
cases, twenty,; a "duck" of a Chantilly
veil, ten ; embroidered hankerchief,
eight ; lace parasol, lined with lavender
silk, ten ; crinoline, three ; and other
'belongings' lace—edged and" sumptuos
ly decorated, about ten, as near as a body
Can venture to guess. Now all this is an
exceeding moderate assessment—there
are as many who, exceed it as fall short
of it. How much do you suppose it
amounts to, my good Mr. Brown ? Well
your angel, in the simple matter of
plumage for this one occasion, costs you
not far from four hundred dollars. Yes,
you. may open . your eyes and twirl your
mustaches in that incredulous sort, of a ,
way ; do- you'suppose we don't know all
about it ? Yes, and when the bills come
in you will remember our words ,of
warning ! You're doing a remarkably,
foolish thing when 'you marry oue of
these camelia-japenica divinities, white
handed, helpless, and knowing just about
as much of rear life, every-day life, as a
canary bird might be expected to Under:
stand. If we were a man, we should as
soon think of marrying a frail hot-house
plant. as one of these delicate springs
of the ornamental.
Give us the, apple blossom type of
women, sunny, cheerful and useful—
something equal to every emergency,
from washing day 'to a Fifth avenne

the kitchen poker is made for, and •can
calculate to a nicity the
in
amount
of mince meat requisit in a model pie,
besides liking a bit of fun as well as the
next woman, , and possessing a pretty
weakness for lively books and spicy
newspapers:) That's the article for
our money.
A wife' who would select gingham
instead of silk, when she went shopping;

known .a day's illness." He is amoral

even a doctor of divinity; yet is .he as.

or what do they earlier learn or longer•

shiver at, and ' the vibe 'of old men to
abound in strange stories of times past.

every thing ; and when our wonder
about common things is over, wc seek'
something new to Wonder at. One last
scene is to tell wonders of our own,•to'
all who will believe them.. And amid
all this, 'tis well if truth comes 'off but
moderately tainted.
