Inicr promoting a new growth, prevent v;' tiie bair from falling, keeping it soft, iiky and abundant, and the scalp cool, hwiltiiy and free from dandruff or humors, tie universal testimony is that this prep aration has no equal as a dressing, and therefore, indispensable to every well nirnished toilet. I h3ve used Ayer's Hair Vigor for some time and it has worked wonders for me. I was troubled with dandruff and was rapidly Kecominc bald ; but since using the Vigor my head is perfectly clear of dandruff, the hair has ceased coming out, and I now have a eood growth, of the same color as when I ,vas a voung woman. I can heartily reeom mend anv one suffermS from dandruff or loss of hair to use Ayer's Hair Vigor as a dressing." - Mrs. Lydia O. Moody, East pittston, Me. Some time ago my wife's hair began to come out quite freely.. Ayer's Hair.3 Vigor cot only prevented ray wife from becoming jald. but it aiso caused an entirely new growth of hair. I am ready to certify to this statement before a justice of the peace." H. Hulsebus. Lewisburgh, Iowa. Some years ago, after a severe attack ot brain fever, my hair all came ont. I used sueli preparations for restoring it as my phy sicians ordered, but failed to produce a erowth of hair. I then tried, successively, several articles recommended by draggissi. and all alike fell short of accomplishing tiie desired result. The last remedy I applied was Ayer's Hair Vigor, which brought a growth of hair in a few weeks. I think I usedeidit bottles iu two years; more than was necessary as a restorative, but I liked it as a dressing, and have continued to use it lor that purpose. I believe Ayer's Hair Vigor possesses virtues far above those of any similar preparation now on the market." Vincent Jones. Richmond, Ind. Ayer's Hair Vigor PREPARED BY DR. J. C.

A good conscience is continual feast, and a peaceful mind the antefeast of Heaven. True greatness can only be the result of a fully rounded character. Standard. A bright hope of heaven al ways renders the pathway thither bright and joyous. The past should be committed to God's mercy, and the present to His infinite care. To love those who love us is manlike; but to love those who hate us is Christ-like. Since nature is so grand, what must be the grandeur and glory of the God of nature ? Those who would go to heaven when they die must begin their heaven while they live. :-Henry. If Christians lived nearer to God they would have no difficulty in loving one another. Rez. J. Hamilton. There are said to be thirty two.thousand promises in the Bible, and yet some people can't get religion enough to keep them sweet on wash-day. There is no note on the harp of Gabriel more welcome to fehovah than the cry of a penitent for mercy, or the supplication of a child of grace. Philip. Men look at each other's hands to see what they have in them, but God looks at their hearts and knows what they would do if they cpuld. Ra?)i,s Horn. The devil never gets a man as a cowboy gets a steer, all at one grab. He maneuvers for him and gets him to take a good many little steps before he suggests a big one. Ram's Horn. Be considerate of the feelings of your friends. True friendsre not so plentiful that we can afford to lose a single one by our thoughtlessness. The inevitable separation urill come soon enough. United Presbyterian. The main support of all indi vidual Christian life, the mainspring of all high Christian work, must be the truth of God. Truth is the life-blood of piety. Truth is always more potent and more precious when we draw it for ourselves out of the Bible. Uroadus. Not to give your own life to Christ means to take somebody else's life. No man can choose either hell or heaven for himself alone. In a recent fire at Minneapolis, one man falling from a ladder knock off three or four others. Had he saved himself, they would also have been saved. Ram's Horn. There is no class ot professors that God has so little respect for as those who serve him periodically. And there is no class that do so little in the cause as those that wait for the annual revival to fit the harness to them. God loves and honors him who strives to show, by his hourly and daily walk, that he bears branded on his body the marks of the Lord Jesus. We are to daily take up our cross and follow him. C. W.Bibb.

A few years ago, says a Washing ton letter to the St. Louis Globe Democrat, there came to the dead letter office, a tin can on which no address was found. The can was opened and sixteen lively looking rattlesnakes made their escape. There was a scene in the dead-let- ter office office for a few minutes." Everybody got on the chairs and tables and the rattlers were- left in ful possession of the floor. Finally they were dispatched and fifteen of them were pickled in alco hol. One was missing, but nobody knew it. It was supposed that fifteen was enough and that none had escaped. A few days later, one sunny after noon, va long, sleek-looking rattle snake crawled from among-the papers in the chief clerk's office, and, unob served, made his way to where a young lady visitor was sitting. His snakeship slyly crawled to her feet, and, gracefully winding himself about her slender ankle, tightened histoids. The young lady noticed the intrusion and, hastily looking down, saw the wily serpent, was hor rified, and very properly fainted. The rattlesnake offered no further insult or injury, but fled in alarm. He was killed and, artistically in cased in a glass jar, he now adorns the cabinet. Xlie EMilptt and the Stage. Rev. F. M.
