Hair dressing, and restorative is found in
“London Hair Color Restorer.” It seldom
fails to restore gray or faded hair to its
original youthful color and beauty. Fall
ing hair is checked by its use, and it pro
duces a growth of beautiful young hai
soft, glossy, and luxuriant. It certainlr
is the most cleanly and effective hair re
storer now before the American people.
A. A. Gibson, Barrytown, Dutchess
county, N. Y., writes: Dr. Swayne & Son’
Philadelphia: Gents—I enclose poBt
offiee order for eight dollars: please
send me one dozen bottles of the “Lon
don Hair Color Restorer.” It has
stopped my hair from falling, and restored
it to its natural color. It has proven
satisfactory in every respect. The “Lon

Piles I Itching Piles!—The symp
toms of itching piles are moisture, like
perspiration, intense itching most at night,
seems as if pin worms were crawling in
or about the rectum. The more you
scratch the worse they itch; very distres
sing. The private parts are often affected.
Dr. Swayne’s Ointment is the most effec
tive remedy extant for this tormenting
complaint. Gives rest at night without
the desire to scratch. Also has no equal
in quickly eradicating tetter, itch, salt
rheum, erysipelas, barbers’ itch, pimples,
all scaly, crusty, itehy skin eruptions.
Here is the proof: “Certainly the best
remedy ever used in my practice,” Dr.
Cotton, Woodstock, Vt.; "troubled with
itching piles for over twenty years, it

HOW TO TBEAT YOUB WATCH.
Wind It up at the same time every day.
Keep it in as even a temperature as pos
sible. Budden transition from heat to cold
may cause the mainspring to break. J
you would keep it clean never pot it In
any pocket except one of leather. Those
pockets which are lined with doth, cot
ton or calico, give by a certain friction a
fluff, which enters most Watch Oases and
makes its way to the delicate parts of
the watch. See that the pocket is turned
and deaned often, and take an old linen
handkerchief and wipe carefully a1) the
dust from under the backs, bejel apd
cap of the case. But above all you must
be sure that the Case fits firmly and to ns
sure of this, select one where the parte
(center, backs, cap, Ac.) are each pads
from one piece of metal.
The JAMES BOBS' Patkxt Snr
tined ok Filled Gold Watch Cask
is so made, and not only dope soph a
Watch Case become stronger and fit mPV#
perfectly, but it enables the manufacturer
to turn and form three pieces of metal
(the outer ones being of gold and the
inner one of an inferior metal) into shape
for the round parts, making to all appear
ances and practical purposes Just as good
a Watch Cose as the solid i
gold, at about
one-half the cost to the purchaser.
There are nearly one hundred thousand
of these Watch Casaa now carried and
their good qnalitiee are acknowledged by
the same number of happy possessors.

Death op the Old Wife.—She
had laid all day in a stupor, breathing
with a heavy-labored breath, but as the
sun sank to rest in the far off western
sky, and the red glow on the wall of
the room faded into dense shadows,
aha awoke and ealled feebly to her
aged partner who was sitting by her
bedside; he bent over his dying wile
and took her wan, wrinkled hand in
his.
“Is it night?” she asked in tremu
lous tones, looking at him with eyes
that aaw not.
“Yes,” he answered softly. “It is
growing dark.”
“Where are the children ?” she
queried; “are they all in.”
Poor old man how oonld he answer
her?—the ohildren who had slept for
long years in the old ehnroh yard—
who had outlived childhood and borne
the heat and harden of the day, and,
growing old, had laid down the oross
and gone to wear the crown, before
the old father and mother had finiahed
their sojourn.
“The children are aafe,” answered
the old man, tremoualy, don’t think of
them Janet, think of yourself; does
the way seem dark?
“My trust is in thee; let me never
be oonfounded. What does it matter
if the way is dark?”
“I’d rather walk with God in the
dark, than walk alone in the light.”
“I’d rather walk with him by faith
than walk alone by eight ”
“John, where’s little Charlie ?”
she asked. Her mind was again in
the past, The grave dust of twenty
years has lain on Charlie’s golden hair,
bat the mother has never forgotten
him! The old man patted her cold
bends that bad labored so hard that
they were stained and wrinkled and
oailonaed with years of "toil, and (he
wedding ring was worn to a mere
thread of gold—and then be pressed
his thin lips to them, and cried, dhe
bad encouraged and strengthened him
in every toil of life. Why, what a
ypfpso she had been? Wh>t a worker!
What a Reader in Israel! Always with
the gift of pra/w &
had stood at many a death-bed tO
grtoer—closed the eyes of loved ones,
and then eat down with the Bible be.
(ween them to reed the promises.—
$ov tbit 7M about to cross the dark
rivsr alone.
And it was strange and sad to the
old man, and tbn yellow.haired grand,
daughter left them, to hear her babble
of walks Iff the woods, of gatheriog
May flowarl art strolling yrith John,
of petty household osres that she had
always pat down with a strong, reso
lute hand ; of wedding feists and
death-bed triumphs; and when at mid
night she heerd the bridegroom's
voice, and the old man bending over
her crying pitifully, and the young
granddaughter kissed her pale brow,
there was a solemn joy in her voice as
she spoke the name of her children
one by one, as she saw them with
immortal eyes, sod with one glad
smile pat on immortality.
They led the old mao sobbing sway,
and when he saw her again the glad
morning son was shining, tbe air was
jubilant with the song of birds, and
she lay asleep on the couch under
the north window where he bad seen
her so often lie down to rest while
waiting for the Sabbath bell. And
she wore the same best black silk, and
tbe string of gold beads about her
thin neck, and the folds of white tulle.
Only now the brooch with his min
iature was wasting, and in its place
was a white rose and a spray of oedar
—she had loved oedar—she had
loved to sing ever her work:
“Ob, may I in his courts be seen,
Like a young cedar fresh and green.”
But what strange transformation
was then! The wrinkles were gone.
The trsaas of age, and pain, and wear
iness were all smoothed out; the face
had gTown strangely young, and a
placid smile was laid on the pale lips.
The old man was awed by this
likeness to Ike bride of his youth.
He kissed the unresponsive lips and
said softly:
“JTou,’ve found Heaven first, Janet,
but you’ll come for me Boon! It’s
our first parting in more than seventy
years, but it won’t be for long—it
woAt be for long.’’
And it was not. The winter snows
have not fallen, and thero is another
grave, and to-day would have been
tbeir diamond wedding! Wo had
planned inueh for it, and I wonder—
I wonder—but no! Where they are
there is neither marriage nor giving
in marriage.
A Poet Missing.—“Do you ever
print poetry in The News ?” asked a
young lady as she came into the ed
itorial room yesterday afternoon.
“I suppose,” continued the youDg
lady, “that the literary editor is the
person to whom I should apply for in
formation, but I thought some of the
other gentlemen in here might tell
me.”
The horse reporter, who had been
compiling some exciting statistics re
garding the number of animals that
had trotted ia 2.30 during the past
season, abandoned this fascinating
pursuit, and after indicating to the
poet by a wave of the hand that she
was at liberty to occupy a chair, spoke
as follows:
“In answer to your question, Miss,
I may say that not only does poetry
sometimes appear io this paper, but
that we now have on our staff of con
tributors some of the most gifted song
sters that the East has produced, and
that they are allowed to trill their
melodies for the benefit of onr read
ers every Thursday. We aim to
afiord all persons who feel within
their minds the surging of a flood of
metrical melody an opportunity of
depicting in vivid word-pioturee the
beautiful images that faney has limned
with delioate touch upon the rose
tinted chambers of the imagination.
It matters not whether the horny
fist of the erowned son of the soil or
the dimpled fingers of a patrician maid*
en guides the pea whieh gives expres
sion to these thoughts-all are weleome.
From our stately ehimney that frets
the sky in the rear of this establish
ment oomes forth in curious quirl and
fantastic quirk great olouds of fleecy
smoke that wrap the structure in a
white filmy mantle. Within one
year after the settlement of the
free-for-all poetry bureau The News
abandoned the use of ooai fo* fuel.
I dislike to give away the game.
but you are so pure end beautiful and
your eyes bare suoh a trustful wistful
look, tbat I could not Sod it
is my heart to deceive you. do iu
peace, and by way of the stairs, gentle
maid, and take the fruits of the God:
given genius whiah enabled you to
produee “Leave Our Mother's Hoops
for Clara" to some other shop'^and
with a pearly tear dimming his bright
blue eyes tbe biographer of Maud S.
again turned tp bis work,
“{fat anybody beau to ho me?" in.
quired the literary editor, as he en
tered the room half an hour later,
had an appointment with ppp of
our best known poets."
‘‘I guess she was hers,*' said the
horee repetter, and I may aay with
out divulging any professional sserets
tbat when you pull up your string of
su$ker« t|je eqd of the season there
will be «oe poet missing,"
A friend of mine said to me yester
day !
“All the money you ever handled
oouldo't buy tbat little pieoe of paper."
With that he banded a manifold
spoiled scrap on which I oould at
first see nothing. At length I de
ciphered in rage disjointed letters the
two words. “Dear Papa." He had
discovered it in the playhouse of his
little danghter, who died only a few
days ago. Some time when, in the
midst of play, her little heart had
turned toward him she hsd scrawled
these two words—and then hsing
borne testimony of her love, threw
the paper away.— Cor.
Newspapers, says somebody, are
valuable to mental prosperity. They
advertise the village, county or local
ity, They spread before the reader a
map on which may be traced charac
ter, design, progress.
If a stranger calls at a hotel, he first
inquires for the village newspaper; if
a friend comes from a distance, the
very next thing after a family greet
ing he inquires for your village or
county newspaper, and you feel dis
comforted if you are unable to find a
late oopy, and oontounded if you are
compelled to say you do not take it.

The Son-in-law-of the-Nebraaka
Blizsard was with him, and wore a
ootton umbrella and a headache. He
was very sociable, being on the bor
ders of delirium tremens, so that his
odd faooies and facetious attempts to
scalp his hostess several times made
him a weloome guest wherever he
i went,
Toward evening the gentlemen oil,

heightened by the use of maple syrup
as a bandoline.

An Amjeiss.—To the Superin
tendents and teachers of the First-day
schools in the Soeiety of Friends with
in our limits. By the committee of
Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting on
tern per<to ee.
Realising that the work in which
you are engaged promises valuable aid
in the dissemination of the knowl
edge of the principles and testimonies
held by the religious Society of
Friends, and that if properly carried
on these schools will be a means of
renewing the life of the Soeiety and
bringing many to feel a living inter*
est in the principles it should uphold;
we feel a desire to impress ou you the
importance of the subject of Temper
ance an a branch of the studies which
should claim the attention of all pupils
of the First-day school, and especial
ly the children, whose plastic minds
will receive the truths ou this impor
tant subject, knowing that it is to
these that we look for a succession of
faithful laborers, who shall maintain
and uphold the testimony of truth as
professed by this people. It is partic
ularly needful that those in the inno
cency of youth should be taught the
importance of hygiene and physiology
and in connection with these the ne
cessity of total abstinnenoe from all
intoxicating beverages, and from to
bacco, whiok is not only injurious in
itself, but tends to promote the de
sire for stimulating dricks. The
temptation to the latter, from their as
sociates an companions, as well as
from the example of those who are
older and stronger and more common
than the former, whilst indifferenoe
may throw the young into the way of
tcaiptatiou on both these habits. If
our children are properly trained at
home and in their schools, they will
be impressed with the necessity of
total abstinence,and we believe the re
sults will be of lasting importance
Children look to their teachers for ad
vice, and hence a great responsibility
tests upon jou in exercising a proper
influence over the youthful minds.
This Committee, in pursuance of
the work assigned them, have felt
deeply impressed with the aeoeeeity of
this labor by all engaged in the great
work of education. We have selected
a number of books and tracts whioh
will aid you in this direotion, and we
hope to have your hearty oo-operation
in carrying out this desirable work,
the fruits of whioh will be manifest,
not only in the ehildren whom you
are engaged in teaohing, but in the
community at large.
Signed on behalf of the Committee,
Henry T. Child, Clerk.
Hot Coasting.—Not many even
ings ago a well known resident of
this place, accompanied by his wife
and a steel sooop shovel, was journey
ing down town, when, upon arriving
at the summit of the Hamilton street
hill, whioh was a glare of ioe from
summit to foot—the man jokingly re
marked to the lady that “it wouldn’t
be a bad idea to ride in the shovel.”
“You couldn’t,” said the woman.
“Pshaw I yea I could. I oould go
just like this,” and to illustrate he
straddled the handle, whioh he graepi
ed with both hands, end carefully
seated himself within the shovel.
Then raising his fast be shewed her
how he oould steer himself and said,
“I could go as easy as anything."
“Why, so you oould," aoquissesd
his wife, and giving him a sudden
push, she added, “ and there you go,"
And he did go.
So fast did be travel that in less
than two seooads’ time hot}} ilovel
and man had disappeared from view
of the Wife. Hot a second later she
was startled by eeaiag what appeared
to be a ball of Are rushing at lightn
ing speed toward the foot of the hill,
and although considerably frightened,
the woman managed to decent} the
hilt and institute q search for bar
hasfjaod,
Bbe found the shovel, whioh lay
apparently exhausted iu a aaaall pud
dle of melted snow.
A ehprt distance further she dis
covered her poor husband seated in
a enow bank and groaning' terribly.
Even in the darkness she noted th§
expression of agony op hfa faoe,
“Maria," be murmured, “my Bun
day pants are ruined."
Not aoothei word was spoken, bat
when the shovel had become sufficient
ly cool they started for home, The
shovel has recovered, but the man
still dines from the mantle piece.
A small boy was hoeing oorn in a
sterile field by the roadside, up near
Bethel, Iodiana, when a passer-by
stood and said : “Pears to me your
corn is rather small ■*’ ‘ Certainly,”
said the boy, “its dwarf corn.” “But
it looks yellar.” “Certainly, we plan
ted the yellar kind.” “But it looks
a* if you wouldn’t get more than half
a crop.” “Of course not,” said the
boy, “we planted her on shares,”

An Awful Scenb.—There was a
frightful accident in London recently,
at the Oxford theatre of varieties.
A Chinaman named Ling Look, who
is described as “The Lord of Fire,
Cannon and Sword,” had almost
closed his performance, his hail feat
being to balance a cannon cm a sword
whioh he holds in hie moutb. In
this position the cannon, whioh k a
yard long, with a three-inch boro, is
fired, of course only having a small
charge. He requested the andispoe
in the gallery to be aoated prior to
getting his gun into position. The
Chinaman then placed the point, of
his sword in a hole in (be cannon,
and passed it down his throat, so that
the cannon rested across bis face; bis
wife, who took part in the entertain
ment, then applied a red-hot iron, to
the tonoh-hole. The report followed.
Just at that moment a lad of fifteen
named S my the, who was silting on
the front row ef thw left side of the
gallery, unfortunately projected his
head, and was strnek with a large pel
let of paper which had been in some
inexplicable manner placed in the
cannon. The pellet was about the
size of a small orange- This com
pletely sroattered the poorfad's brains
in nil directions., The scene the
hall was most horrible. The blood
bespattered a number of people sitting
around the lad, and a soene of confu
sion followed. Shouts were heard
to proceed from the gallery, and esme
cries of “Fire,” and a rush was made
to the doors, fully half the audienoe
leaving. In the rush out of the hall
several were bruised, bat not serious
ly. Ling Look has been apprehend
ed. It is stated that he was carefully
explioit in asking his audienoe to keep
their heads|,low and out of the line of
fire. The pellet is stated to have
been a compact ball of paper, almost
ss hard as wood.
