I am sitting alone with my thoughts to-night, as I ’ve sat since my dear wife died,

And at times I almost fancy that she is still at my side ;

But I find her not, and my thoughts still go on, and something seems to say ;

‘ ‘ There’s no one to wait on grandpa now, and the old man’s in the way.”

For more than fifty years we bore fife’s bur­den, si&e by side,

And yet it seems-but yesterday that she was made my bride.

She never looked faded or old to me, though her raven locks turned gray,

But she died, -and they buried her out of sight, and the old man’s in the way.

She was so pafient and tender and true, so quick my needs to see,

That I never fully knew' her worth until she was taken figom me.

Against the friends that still are left I ’ve not a word to say,

They are very kind, and yet I know the old man’s in the way.

Oh, to be taken away from here ! To enter the Golden G a te ! ' -

To see the smile of the blessed Christ, and be with my dear old mate !

There we shall joy in a bliss complete that will forever stay,

In a house not made with hands, while .here the old man’s 111 th i way.

“ T H E N A M E O E M O T H E R . ”

There are words that speak of a quenchless love,

Which burns in the hearts we cherish,And accents that tell of a friendship proved,

That will never blight or perfsh ;There are soft words murmured by dear,

dear lips,Far richer than any other ;

But the sweetest word that the ear hath heard Is the blessed name of mother.

Oh, magical word ! may it never die From the lips that love to sp eak it ;

Nor melt away from the trusting hearts That even would break to keep it.

Was there evtr a name that lived like this ?Will there ever be siicli another ?

The angels have reared in Heown a shrine For the holy name of mother !

j l o s t o n t e e m o u n t a i n s .

To look upon the White Mountains of New Hampshire, when summer’s green mantle of verdure is flung around their peaks, awakens admiration and awe in the breast of the gazer ; but to appreciate fully their great and terrible sublimity, to stand, as it were, face to face with the God who created them, one needs to behold the lofty Mount Wash- iigton, king-like among the lesser giants, c.ad in the coat winter binds massively around him. The plumed firs and spread­ing hemlocks droop like sombre weepers, their branches heavy with the white snow, and glittering with the crystal icicles which the cckl breath of the northern blast has frozen there. The stern old rocks are frost­ed with innumerable pearls, and the surface of the ice-chained river seems like a Jield of molten silver. For the scul gf him who “ looks up through nature to nature’s God,” the light of the White Mountains in winter is both a sermon upon the Creator’s good­ness and a psalm of praise to His power.

A greet many years ago. before the foot of civilization had pierced the impenetrable for­est north cf the White Mountains and while the red Indian roamed unmolested the hunt­ing-ground of his fathers, William Reade emigrated from Portsmouth to a sparse set­tlement high up on what is now known as the Saco River. Reade was a poor man, but an ambitious one, and the wonderful stories which had reached him of the facilities for hunting and fishing afforded by the wild re­gion round about the mountains had fired his brain with the desire of participation. Through thick forests, and across unbridged river,‘through many dangers and much pri­vation, he brought his tenderly nurtured W'ife and his little daughter Leila to a rude log-cabin in the wilderness. I t was very lonely and desolate there to the mother and her child. The neighbors were all too far off to be compan}7, and the mohotdny of a settler’s life was only broken, now and then, by visits from the different tribes of Indians in the vicinity7, most of which were upon terms of friendship with the whites.

Among the Pcquawkets was a lad of about fifteen, who in company with his father hadbeen captured, when a mere child, from asettlement on Massachusetts Bay, the father was subsequently released at the solicitation of a daughter of the .chief of the tribe, and never again heard from. This boy was called by his captors Wild Deer, on account of his extraordinary agility, but his English name was Marcus Wellman. Marcus was uncommonly strong and daring for one of his years ; Ids wild life had developed his form and paint :d health upon his cheek ; he was

withal, generous, frank and handsome, and a great favorite with the tribe which, held him in bondage.

Marcus went often to the hut of Mr. Reade because there was something congenial to the boy’s innate sensibilities in the neat and orderly way in which that humble household was managed. Moreover, 'Marcus loved to listen to the childish prattle of the guileless

gpd ej^rgssion ̂of won­der which csr6pt m§o aer blue eyes when he poured out, for her amusement, some tale of strange prowess and intrepid daring. The boy brought his girl friend many presents of rare feathers, rich skins, and gay wampum, and sjhe prized these things very7 highly”.

One day, when the Peqauwkets had been on a trading excursion for many weeks, Mar­cus Wellman suddenly appeared at the house of the settler, bearing in bis arms a little snow-white lamb, a present for Leila, which he had bought with the fur of otters, of a settler far down on the coast of the big lake. The little girl was delighted, and promised Marcus that the lamb, which was to be called Snowflake,' should never be sold or killed as long as she lived.

Time passed on, and autumn lock the place of the green feet~e~-SrHnmer, and emptied her golden glories upon the mountain maples. Then there came down cold winds from the highland, and by and by the earth was wrapped in a covering of snow. Win­ter, sad and solemn, settled down upon the home of the Reade’s, and Leila with her lamb wandered over the fragrant pas­tures upon the hill-slope. But after a while there came a great rain, warm from the hea’vy clouds, and the snow mejted somewhat from the cliffs and left here and there patches of blighted herbage and crisp grass. One day, Snowflake, the1 pet lamb, managed to elude the vigilance of bis mistress aud, frisk­ing out of the |hut, I13 made his way7 to the meadows, where he had been wont to go with Leila. • Finding no grass there, he climbel up the mountai is, aud nibbled the dried leaves and blades of grass which the rain had bared,

I t was not long before Leila discovered the absence of her pet, and throwing on her hood and crimson blanket, she ran upon the hill near by to seek him. : Snc^flake was not to be seen, however, and Leila, half frantic, ran up the Hill, calling ‘‘Snowflake ! Snow­flake 1 ” But only the mocking echoes of the mountains replied. The little girl forgot all about the terror ] which her mother wouldifeel at her absenqe, in sorrow for the loss of her lamb. She fifew nimbly on, until in the hard snow, she sajw the. tiny marks of her pet’s feet cut deeply into the bare ground about the great robks. So, searching for the lamb, Leila went om'u^til the sun began to decline into the wintry sky, and she stood upon a vast elevation of land far above the lonesome settlement.

“ Snowflake ! Snowflake ! why don’t you find me, Snowflake-?” Cried the little uirl,* ' > O 7wearily, aud then sat down upon the, edge of a greed precipice to rest and wait for the coming of her lamb.

Meanwhile, Mrs. R., thoroughly alarmed at the non-api>earance of her child, made the forest to resound with her vain cries. Marcus Wellman, returning near sunset from a hunting tour, heard the agonized voice of the mother, and fearing that all was not right, he threw down his game and sought with all speed the home of the settler.

‘ ‘ My child I My -child I Oh, Marcus, bring back my Leila,” cried the half-dis­tracted mother, as she caugh^. sight cf the- tall, lithe form of the young captive.

A few minutes sufficed to reveal the truth to the boy’s comprehension, and the heart cf the mother leaped up in hope at his Words.

Madam, the Wild Deer comes not back to the lodge cf the Pequaw kes until he brings tli3 White Dove to the wigwam of her father.” ’

He made a wild but graceful obeisance, and was lost to view in the wilderness.

The night fell down, cold and piercing.There was a breath'of frost in the thick

air, and afar off, toward the northern hori­zon, the brave-'boy could just discern the faint belt of cold, sickly blue, which i^a sure hai'binger of a coming storm. But, daunt­less and 11 nfearing, -Marcus pressed on.Leila, his pet ancTYmmiF .playmate was ex­posed somewhere upon the mountains.; should he fear ?

All night long the lad wandered upon the cliffs shouting-far and wide the name of Leila. Morning, gray and obscured by the snow struggling slowly from the cloud, dawn­ed upon him, and found him still unsuccess­ful. Still, not despairing, by the grateful light, he .flew froin crag to . crag until at last he stood upon the' highest peak of Mount

Webster. In frenzied haste he sought around the limits of the mountain, and then with terrible forebodings in his heart he de­scended into the'valley. There was no al­ternative. The girl must have essayred the passage of the Notch ! Horror almost over­came the soul of Marcus at the bare possi­bility; but the waning light warned him that there was no time for hesitation. ' For the first tiipe since setting forth,- he drew forth from his pocket a flask of'whortleberry wine, which he kept always filled, and plac­ing it to liis lips he took a hearty fdraught.

• £The stimulant gave him new life and cour­age, and just as the ray of daylight faded away he found himself within a mile of the Gate of the Notch. He stooped carefully as he entered the narrowing passage and felt over the surface of .the snow and ice which covered the ground. A wild glad cry escap­ed his lips as he sprang up. The lamb had assuredly passed- that way, for there was the marks left by his sharp hoofs in the snow, and it might be possible, the boy thought, that Leila and her pe-t might s be together; but how, Marcus dared not think ! He rush­ed on a few rods, and called the girl’s name. There was no reply.

Again he shouted, lpud and clear “ L eila!” Yes, lie was n o t mistaken now ;% it was the far-off bleat a/i Snowflake which answered him. On and-on he went, until he reached the foot of the cascade ; he could go no further, for the eternal wall of rock pre­cluded all idea of advancement in that direc­tion. He stopped and called the name of Snowflake ; the lamb’s answering bleat was almost at his side. Marcus draw out .a tind­er box and a few sticks of tinder wood articles which no hunter, red or white, ever fails to carry about his person—and, in a moment, by the aid of the light thus procured, his eyes drank in the scene.

Upon a narrow shelf of rock, apparently lifeless, lay the form of Leila, her hancs crossed upon her bosom, aud a tear frozen upon either cheek. Close by her side crouch­ed the lamb, his head laid upon her face, as if he knew that upon the retention of warmth life depended. Marcus took her up in his arms and chafed her cold hands and breathed into her silent lips. There was 110 sign of life except a faint pulsation around the lfeart and the brave boy almost despaired of ever seeing the light of those blnq eyes again. Suddenly he bethought himself of the flask of wine, and drawing it forth, he forced some of the stimulant between her lips. Af­ter a while- she opened her eyes dreamily, and mui*mured to herself—

“ Poor little Snowflake, why don’t you come back ?”

“ Snowflake is here, Leila ; and don’t you know me, Marcus Wellman ?”

“ O, yes! Is it you, Marcus? I ’m glad. I am so sleepy.”

Marcus knew that the drowsiness which steal over the freezing 'was coming to the worn out child, and he exerted himself to keep her awake, as he sped up the mountain carrying her in his arms, the lamb following nimbly behind.

I t was nearly midnight of the following day-night when Marcus, weary and footsore laid the little Leila in the lap of her over­joyed mother. That was a time of joy long to be remembered in the hut of Wm, Reade —a time of thanksgiving and praise to the great Father of all good. •

Well, reader, a good many years after­wards Marcus WpeUman, having made his es­cape fi’om the Pequawkets, grew to be a rich man, also a lawyer in a promising Eastern c ity ; and when the people had begun to speak of him as great and goad, what do yon think he did ? He went back to the feet o f the White Mountains, and, brought away Leila Reade and her parents to the beautiful home he had provided for them ; and by and by when the world had done wondering he

made Leila his veife, and they avers a veryhappy family. :

Marcuis Yvellman lived long, and if a life of usefulness'and active charity can avail, then he will claim much happiness, in the Great Hereafter.

A Wisconsin secular paper contains the following good story :

One who does hot believe in immersion for baptism, was holding a protracted m eeting and one night preached on the subject of baptism. In the course of his remarks h e- said, some believe it necessary to go down into the water and come up out of it, to be bantized. B ut this he claimed to be a fal- lacy, for the proposition “ in to /’of the Scrip­tures, should be rendered differently, as it does not mean into at all times. Moses he

■ i ■ c

said, ‘ V e are told went up into the mount­ain, and the Savior was taken into a high mountain, etc. Now we do not' suppose that either went into the mountain, but upon it. ̂So with going down into the; wathr, it m e|ns simply going down close by, or near to tjh.3 water, and being baptized in the or­dinary way, by sprinkling or pouring.”

He carried this idea out fully, and in due season and style closed his discourse, when an invitation was given for any one so dis­posed, to arise and express his 'thoughts. Quite a number o* the brethren iirose, and said they were glad they had been Ipresent pn this occasioii ; that they were well pleased with the sound sermon they had just heard, and felt their souls greatly blessed. Finally a corpulent gentleman of Teutonic extrac­tion, a stranger to all, arose and broke a si­lence that was almost painful, as follows:

“ Mister Breacher, I ish so glad I ATash here to-night, for I has had some tings ex­plained to my min’t dat I never could pelief pefore. O, I ish so g lit that into does not mean into at'all^ but sliu^t close by, or'near to, for now I can belief manish tings vot I could not pelief pefore. We reat, Mister Breacher, that Taniel A'as .cast into the ten of lions and came out alife! Now I never could pelief f.hat, for the wilt peasts would shust eat him up right off; put now it ish ferry clear to m37 mint.. He vash shust close byor near to, an:l tid not get ip.to the tun at, Ml. 0 , I ish sp glad I vash here to-n ight!”

“ Again-we reat dafc te Hebrew children vas cast into te firish furnace, ant dat air al- wish looked like a peeg story too, for de}7 would have peen purntup, put it ish all plain to my mint now for dey were shust cast close to 01- near by te firis^ furnace. O, I vas so glat I Aras here to-night.

‘ ‘ And den. Mister Brep,cher, it ish said dat donah vas cast into de sea and took into de whale’s peliy. Now5 I never couild pelief that. I t alwish seemed to me to be a peeg feesh .story; put it ish all plain to my mint

•now. He vash not taken into the whale’s felly, at all, put shust shumped onto his pack and rode ashore. O, I vash so glat I vash 'here to -n igh t! ”

“ And now, Mister Breacher, if you will shust explain- tw o , more bashages of Scrip­tures; I shall pe, O, so happy dat I vash hero to-night! One of dern is vere it says de vioked shall pe thrust into a lake that bum s with fire and brimstone always. O, Mister Breachsr, shall I pe cast into that lake if I am vicked, or shust close py o'rnekrrto, shust near enough to be colnfortable ? 6 , 1 hopes you tell me I shall pe cast only shust py, a good vay off, and I vill pe so glat I vas here to-night! The other bashage is that vich saish, “ Plessed are they who do these com­mandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city.” O, tell me I shall get into the city and not shust close py or near to, shust near enough to see vat I have lost, ancj I shall pe so glat I vas here to-i|ight!” ', He sat down with the impression left on

many minds present that it would notj do to take the Bible for only what it clearly says.

—Actions, looks, words, steps, form the steps by which we may spell characters. :

—When we humans are asked for a dollar to help bury a poor fellow, we shell out im­mediately ; b a t there are those among us avIio would not give the' dollar to the poor fellow before he died.

— “ The yuung ladies of Glen’s Falls are - the most .charming of any In the State, I do believe,” said a soft-headed S andy. Hill fop to a Glen’s Falls school girl at a party the other evening. H er reply made him tremble in his boots. Said she, ‘ ‘HCre, cheese that, cully; you can’t feed me on wind pudding !” and throwing her chewing gum against the 1 opposite side of the room whfere it stuck on j the wall, she remarked, “ N its, you can go and get that and chew it if you want to, my jaw aches like darnatkxn !” The young man came to Granville next day and wanted to be shown where he conld obtain a quantity of strychnine because he said, he thought this angels' were calling him .— Granville Senti­nel.

says : For the want of something better todo, some unemployed ninny-hamme^ started a report last week that the Schoharie nation­al bank had ‘ failed. ” No particulars were given by the kind idiot who started the re­port ; neither was it, as it now seems, like a Ledger story, “ to be continued;” for it stopped about as suddenly as it commenced, a’though not as mysteriously. No bank in the country stands higher than the Schoharie County Natioual. On Saturday a few small depositors drew out their money. Others visited the bank on Monday, but finding some $75,000 lying on the counter, in case they wanted it, concluded they d idn ’t want it, and thus ended the “ run ” which was no run at all. Less than $1,000, all told was drawn out and a run of $100,000 would not have affected the credit of the Bank.

The West.--Bev. E. Cornet gave a lecture last Friday

evening about the West, at Temperance Hall, in this village, to a large and apprec­iative audience.

Mb. I&mtob ; Some days since your cor­respondent left his home down the Schoharie and for the purpose of visiting friends trav­eled south toward the source of that stream. Halting occasionally to,adm ire the beauties of the beautiful valley through; which he passed he arrived a t tfiepre.tty little village of Lexington. A fter there for a brieftime he left the Schoharie and followed one of its tributaries up between the mountains about twelve miles until he came to a section of country known as West Kill. Your cor­respondent thought that he jhad at least found the end of the world, although the “ jum p­ing off place ” he failed to discover. Shan- daken is noted as being the place where boots were first pegged, for the reason that the mountains were so close together that it was impossible to draw the threads. We think it may be barely possible for the monarch of the awl and last in that vicinity to join his work together with seams by using short threads, although he might, if careless, strike the base of the opposite peaks with his knuckles. The writer was unavoidably detained in that vicinity for a number of fifiys, and tfee hospitality of the good people he-will not/soon forget. While there, Mr. Editor, we had 1he pleasure of attending an oyster supper, a time that we enjoyed heartily find which w ill be long re­membered, not that their oysters were any better or the bill'any lighter than at other places, but, oh I, Mr. .Editor, such pretty girls you never saw. Aurora in her robe of light cannot compare j with them. We enjoyed th 3ir society untijl the small hours, when we separated, and your correspondent sought his couch and was soon wrapt in the arms of Morpheus. We left Wesfckill the next morning, retainiiig pleasant memories of that place, hoping some day to visit them again.

—The Windham Journal last week enter­ed upon its twenty-third year. I t is a newsy, spicy, and well edited sheet and is deserving of a large patronage. Success to you, and “ may you live long.and prosper.”

—The Prattsville News says that two young men, brothers, named Wm. and Hen­ry Jordan, of that village, were arrested for drunkenness on Wednesday last and brought before Justice Bon ton, who imposed a fine of $10 each, in default of which they were sent to the county jail for 50 and 40 days, respectively.

—A contributed article to the Stamford Mirror contains the following: On the first of April, 1878, eleven months ago, the little hamlet of Harpersfield contained 81 persons all counted. Since that time one died aged 94, one 88, one 81, one 80, one 70, one 84, and' two children about 14, making eight per-

i sons or one in each ten of the whole inhab- i itants. Of the inhabitants still remaining j one is 96, one over 80, and six from 70 to 80 i years old.| —The Stamford Mirror of last week, says:! “ I t was supposed that when we got a rail- | road built to Stamford, we could get freight- j ing done to and from New York a deal cheap- ! er. It,then cost 75 cents per firkin to get i butter to New York. I t now octets 75 cents,1 the same as it did 15 years ago. A bill of goods from New York by railroad last week cost $9.75—$2.65 from New York to King­ston, and $7.10 from Kingston to Stamford. Is this an improvement?”

—The Stamford Mirror says : Most of the farmers in this vicinity are either sending their milk to New York city or selling if to the Stamford creamery. F , R. Gilbert has sent the1 milk of ninety cows direet to con­sumers in New York the past eleven months, ybich has netted him nearly $6,000. He now gets 21 cents per quart for it, which is nearly a cent higher than others receive, be­cause his is from Alderay cows. He is now sending 720 quarts per day.

City Hoarders.—Many people of this village and vicinity

are making quite extensive preparations to accommodate city boarders during the sum­mer months. Last summer a few city peo­ple founa their way to Gilboa, and were so well pleased with the country th a t they will undoubtedly return and bring many more with them. Indeed; it is a mystery why Gilboa has not long ago been made a place of resort for city people during the summer. Situated upon the western slope of the Cats­kill mountains, in the beautiful valley of the old Schoharie river, Gilboa has some of the wildest, grandest, and most romantic places and scenery tfiat nature could lavish.

Among the many attractions of this vicin­ity is the easy access to and from New York by railroad, first-class mail and teleT graph accommodations, the pure bracing mountain air, excellent hunting and fishing, grand scenery, pleasant rambles, and the many falls on our streams, among which is the Manorkill and Glen, and one of the wild­est and most romantic to be found east of the Rocky Mountains. The Glen is one mile in length and the jagged rocks rise perpendicu­lar on either side to a dizzy height while the Manorkill dashes madly along its rocky course, dancing over small cataracts and asting sprays of foam until it reaches the 'alls where it gives one leap of nearly 100

feet and empties into the Schoharie.Here the artist can find subjects for his

pencil; the poet material for songs; (he in­valid gain strength and health by the pure air, and the pleasure seeker find enjoyment and pleasant pastime. Among those who are prepared to accommodate boarders areF. Hagadorn, who has accommodations for about twenty, with as fine and well-furnished rooms as can be found in the coun try ; also A. Hagadorn, W. H.« Becker, mid others. City people desiring to procure board or any information can do so by addressing this office.

A farm er’s team came along with a hay­rack, and Samuel took a seat on the “ bind­e r.” He rode a-short distance and then let go and stepped into toe coils of a rope drag­

g in g behind, and) before he knew what was up he/was dragged along through the slush. He gai|e an awful yell as he realized his s itu a tio n ; but the farmer lost his hearing years ago, and sat on his seat as stiff as the Cardiff Giant, while the horses ambled along a t an even pace. “ Whoop ! f e e y !

’Say, you ! Oh, m urder!” yelled Samuel. *as the slush ran up his pantaloons, and his back was' rakedVm the knobby street ; but the farmer was thinking of home, s weet home, and he didn’t reply. “ Yoti, thcre[! Whoop^! Hi!*:Ho! Gracious and blazes!’ roared Samuel, as he slid on his back and side and felt his coat going over his head.

The farm er drove up Fourth to Lacrosse, and then w ent west, and there w asn ’t a hub or a jkmd of water that Samuel B'.aine d idn 't find* Sometimes he was on his back, and then he would glide fo ra whiie t’other side up, and he kept up a yelling which made people run to the windows. Some boys observed his situation, but they tho 't it was a new kind of way to “ catch a boh,” and they yelled “ bully forJSamuel Blaine !”

“ Say ! I ’m being drawed to death—stop yer hosses!” shouted S aiu ; but the farm er was thinking about the grave on the hill side, and he never turned bis- head. A man stopped on the walk and yelled, “ Say, you’ve g o ta boy there! ” but the farmer nodded his head and kept on. Finally, as he turned into E ight street and headed for Michigan avenue, he looked around. See­ing Samuel coming up behind, rolling oyer and over, he thought the boy was try- ring to eatch on, and ho put the “ bud” to his horse $,nd went three blocks further and drew up a t a grocery. W hen they dis-

. covered the poy’s situation they said th a t it would take forty pounds of glue to mend him up, and one.man advised killing him at once, so ?.s to save Mrs. Blaine -t doctor’s b i l l ; but wiser counsel prevailed and. they c irried him home. ' *

She says she’s got three mattresses stuffed with In jun’s hair that my grandfather killed and scalped when he was a young man. All of my grandfather’s pillersris-sfcuffed with Injun’s hair, too, she says. My grandfather he's got an old flintlock gun tha t I guess was made when Noer cum out in the ark . My grandfather .used to shoot bears’n tigers’n elefunts’n crockerdiles’n all kinds of birds and every­thing. My grandfather shot his gun inter a lion or wolf one day, and the wolf growd raad’n run out of the woods’n run inter a naber’s house an ’ swallerd three little children.

A WOKDERFUL DISCOVERY I

A Deodorized extract of Petroleum,The Only Article that Will Re­

store Hair on Bal'd Heads.W h a t t h e W o r l d h a s b e e n

W s m t h is * f o r C e n t u r i e s .

The greatest discovery of our day, so far as a large portion of humanity to concerned, is CAR- BOLINS. an article prepared from petroleum, and which effects a complete and radical cure in case of baldn -ss, or where the hair, owing to diseases of the scalp, has become thin and tends to fall out. It is also a speedy restorative, ami while its use se­cures a luxuriant growth of hair, it fds° brings back the natural color, and gives the most complete sat­isfaction in the using! The falling out of the hair, the accumulations of dandruff, and the premature change in color are all evidences of a diseased con! dition of the scalp and the glands which nourish the hair. To arrest tncse causes the article used must possess medic d as well as chemical virtues, and the change must begin under the scalp to be of perma­nent and lasting benefit. 1 Such an article is CAR IlOLINE, and, like many other wonderful discov­eries, it is found to consist of elements almost in their natural state. Petroleum oil is the article which is made to work such extraordinary results ; b u t it is a f te i it Ins been chemically treated and completely deodorized that it is in proper condition for tho toih-t. It was in far-off Russia that the effect of petroleum upon the ha:rwas first observed, a Government officer having noticed that a partially haid-lieaded servant of h to when trimming the iamps, had a hab.t of wiping his oil-besmeared hands in his scanty locks, and the result was in f. few months a much finer head of black, glossy hair Ilian lie over had before. The o:l was tried or. horses and cattle that had lost their hair from the cattle plague, and tho results were as rapid as they were marvelous. The manes and even the tails of horses, which had fallen out! were completely re stored in a few weeks. These experiments w en heralded to the world, bu! the knowledge was prac Meady.useless to the prematurely bald and gray, at no ohe in civilized society could tolerate the use o! refined petroleum as a dressing for the hair. But the skill of one of our cheinbtsJias overcome thd diffi­culty. and by.a process known o:i!v to himself, he has/after very elaborate and cosily experiments, suc­ceeded in deodorizing refined petr >h'um, which rondo’s it susceptible of being handled as daintilj us the fatuous eau de col opus. The experiments with die deodorized liquid on the lutmau hair were at­tended with the most astonishing results. £>A few applications, where the hair was thin and falling, gave remarkable tone and vigor to the scalp and lm.r. E\erv particle of dandruff disappears on the first or sec^n l dressing, and the liquid so search­ing in its nature, seems to p.-netr ite to the roofs at on e, and set up a rad cal change from the start. It is well known that the most beautiful colors are m ide from petroleum, and, by some mysterious operation of nature, the use of this article gradu ally imparts a beautiful light-brown color to tin hair which by e’bnihilled use. deepens lo a black The color remain- permanent for an indefinite length of time, and ihe change is so gradual that the most intimate friends can scarcely detect its progress In a wotd, it is the most wonderful discovery o! the age, and well calculated to make tlu; prema turely ba.d aud gray rejoice. * *.

We, advise our readers to give it a trial,- feeling satisfied ill d one application vviil convince them of its wonderful efLei la.—Pittsburgh Commercial oj Get. 22, 1877. .

The article is telling its own story in the hands of thousands who are using it with the most gratifying and encouraging re.-:iit.-> :

W. II. Bnru. & Co., Fifth Avenue Pharmacy, says. “We have sold preparations for the hair for upward of twenty years, out have never had one to sell as well or give such universal satisfaction. Wo fuere- fore-recommend it with couiidencir to our frie..ds and the general public.”

Mr-. Gtstavcs F. IIai.i., of the Oates Opera Troupe, writes: “ After six weeks’ use la m ton*vineed. as are also my comrades, that your * Carbo- iine’ has and is producing a wonderful growth of hair where I had none for years.”

0 . H. Sm ith, of tho Jennie Ilight Combination, writes: ’* A fter using your ‘ Carboline’ three weeks £ am convinc <1 that'bliltl heads can be ‘ re-haired.’ It’s / i - nP*y wonderful in my case.”

Bf Ip. A r th u r , chemist, Holyoke, Mass.. writes:Ybtir ‘ Carboline* has restored my hair after every­

thing else had failed.” 4^Jo se ph E. P o n d . attorncy-at-law, No. Attleboro,

\tass., w rites : For more than 30 years a portion of my head has been as smoo.h and free from hair as a billiard ball. but. some eight weeks ago I was in­duced to irjr your Carboline, and the effect has been simply wonderful. Where no hair,has been seen for years there now appears a thick growth, and I am convinced that by cent inning its use I shall have as good a head of hair as I **ver had. It is growing now nearly as rapidly as hair does after it is cut.

G A E B O I Z N EIs now presented to the public without fear of con­tradict ton as the*best Restorative und Beautifier of die Hair the world has ever produced.
