A dressing which is at oucu agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thick'- falling hair checked, and bald ness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied aud decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty scdi .ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent tlie hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Frco from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous aud injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely l'or a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts lopg Oil the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

OVERSHOT SEPARATOR.—We saw at the levator of J. F. Lyon, the other day, a machine which for ingenious simplicity and effectiveness takes the palm. It ij a grain cleaner and separator, which furni»hes its own motive power and will clean 500 bush els per day. It is simply two inclined vi brator* screens, at the lower end of which is placed an overshot wheel or drum into the buckets of which the cleaned grain from the chute beneath the screens falls, and thus furnishes the power and motion which drives the whole. All that is necessary to make it run until it wears out, is to supply it with grain at the upper end, and the more fur nished the faster it runs. Its ingenuity is ouly equalled by its simplicity and it is well worthy the inspection of the curious. Lace, Embroidered and Hem-stitched Handkerchiefs, in endless variety, at Morse's. SuRrniSES.—Some members of the choir of the i ptist Church were very agreeably surprised last Monday evening at the resi dence of J. F. Lyon, E.*q., by the reception of costly and valuable presents at the hands of the ladies of the congregation. The oc casion was one of much jollity and good feel ing, the host and hostess coming in for a good share of badinage over their evident bewilderment at the invasion of their par lors by a score or more of laughing couples. The presents were of plate and were pre sented by Rev. Mr. Hunter, as follows: To Mrs. J. F. Lyon a silver butter dish and knife to Mrs. J. L. Loomis a silver cake basket, and Mr. Samuel Ripley a silver cake disk Shortly after this ceremony Mrs, Hunter, wife of the pastor, and one of the most enthusiastic of the surprisers, was iu her turn surprised by the present of an ele gant cloak, the gift of Mrs. J. II. Campbell and Mrs. II. K. Plane. And to cap the list of surprises, Mr. Hunter announced that he had been the recipient of a splendid over coat from J. H. Campbell, Esq. Two hundred Corsets for sale at the low est price, at Morse's. PRESS CIIAXOES.—The Cedar Falls Ga zette establishment has passed from the hands of Snyder Bros, into those of L. D. Tracy, formerly of the Grundy County Atlas, and Geo. K. Shaw, recently connected with the press of Minnesota. We part with Sny der Bros, with unfeigned regret. The Ga zette under their management was one of the best papers in this part of the Stale, and every way worthy of the enterprising city in which it is located. We extend to the new proprietors our congratulations up on their having secured so favorable a lo cation, and our best wishes for their abun dant success, cf which there is no room for doubt. The Waverly Republiein hag again changed hands, Butler & Mallahan sell ing to Scott and Fichtborn, The new man agement gives evidence of ability, in dustry and discretion, and will undoubtedly place the Republican in a promiucut posi tion among Iowa newspapers.

To TIIE BOYS AND GIRLS.—The young, sters belonging to the BULLETIN'S public will find something especially for them in the letter from '"Aunt Em" in another col umn. Despite her "cap and spectacles'' Aunt Em writes with a freshness, and as thorough an appreciation and sympathy with the "petty woes" of childhood, as if she still danced the rope or swung the care less satchel on her way to school. Children of a larger growth may haply find iu her etter something suggestive of duties unper ormed, and sympathies uncultivated. Let evary parent who reads it resolve that the co:ding holidays shall be a season of unal 1 ed joy aud jollity to those who soon a jugh will enter tipon the cares and per- L-xities of life.

A LETT BR FROM AUNT EM. DmtrChildrcn:—I suppose the most of you are surrounded by kind friends, who by every means in their power, strive to make your lives pleasant and happy, and I pre sume too that at Christmas, your stockings are filled to the very brim with the very things you most longed to possess, there fore it would be useless to write to you how sad a day Christmas may be to some peo ple, and you would think me a very disa greeable old auntie to be spoiling your fuu with such gloomy thoughts, so you need not take my letter as addressed to you at all, but to poor little Charlie. His Christmas was spent in thinking what a nice time Tommy was having across the way, and watching him as he whirls off for a ride in the country. Or to little Julia, who with red eyes surveys her broken-nosed, one eyed dolly, thiuking all the time what a mer ry Christmas it would have been bad Santa Claus dropped such a doll into her stocking as he did into the more favored hose of her playmate Mary. Perhaps you are think ing that Charlie's mother was one of th se poor women who sew in garrets, and live on crusts, but you are mistaken, for Char lie's lived in just as elegant a mansion as Tommy over the way but the trouble was that his parents thought Christmas was all "fol-de-rol," and the necessity of buying presents all a delusion, ard as for wasting time to take the little ones out to Aunt Sa rah's, why that's all folly too any other time would do just as well, and so Charlie uiay flatten his nose on the window-pane and wipe his eyes on the skirt of his jacket to his heart's content, if he cannot see things in the same philosophical light that his parents do.

Yes little Julia, there's the rub. If your mamma was a poor woman aud would but could not, you would take up the cross of poverty and bear it bravely for her sake, but when it comes to the case, "MammacouldbutMammadon't," I ain afraid the little folks are apt to forget the sage maxim, Whatever is, is right." Well now little Julia and Charlie, per haps it will comfort you a little to know how my Christinas used to be spei t, for misery love company yon know. When I was a little girl, and didn't wear cap and glasses, uiv elder sister and I used to hear real deal about an old fellow called San ta Claus, and as we were little and didn't know any better, we used to hang up our stockings in a perfect fever of excitement as to the possible chances of the night, but morning always set us into a brown study, trying to think whv it was, that Santa Claus was so liberal with other little folks who were as naughty again as we were, while he would only drop the tiniest paper of candy in ours, or some other trifle which hardly repaid the trouble of turning our stockings wn ng side out to get to. Bye and bye, when we got old enough to understand who the real Santa Claus was, father and mother began to think we were old enough to do away with such nonsense altogether, and from hence, Christmas in stead of being the joyfully commemorated birthday of our best friend, the dear Savior, became for us a sad day of longing, and repining thoughts of what might have been of the Christmas tree which Lucy's folks had, and the ride Maria's father was to give her to aid the digestion of the roast turkey and plum pudding, aud of the beautiful presents Jennie had brought over for our inspection subjects not calculated to raise our spirits, or render the day a particularly merry Christmas." Perhaps you may think it strange, but the older we grew the more we missed the kind remembrance of Santa Claus, and the jollity and good cheer which made this the merriest day of the year to our more favor ed companions. But so it was, and when we were big girls, and wore lon^ dresses, and hair '"done up," our longings for the real "merry Christinas" of song and story were just as strong a3 when our hearts beat under a lafor •. Parents do not realize what a powerful influence for jrood or evil, for joy or sorrow, such a small thing as the observance of the holidays exert. If thev did, they would make these anni versaries green spots iu the memories of their children, which the cares and troubles that maturity brings could never efface. Now little ones shall we laugh or cry over our troubles? Ah! laugh do you say? Well laugh it shall be, and remember if you don't have a tree this Christmas, and all the other good things pertaining thereto, it will not be Aunt Ein's fault.

CALLS.—Bro. Smart, of the Waterloo St porier, shed the light of his countenance upon us since our last. We are pleased to observe that the suggestion of his name as a candidate for State Binder is being re ceived with considerable favor by the press of the State. Cole, of the Jesup Recorder, also made us a short but welcome visit the other day. We notice that Cole speaks rather slighting ly of thar kind of connubial happiness tbat finds its expression in rolling the loved one on the floor. But Cole being of tbat forlorn class, (the old bachelors) don't know any thing about happiness anyway. Reform, Cole. GOOD TGMF'.ABS' EN-TCRTI!KVC*V—Tlte A VALUABLE BOOK.—Rev. Jag.
