fair lady in the transitioiial stage of rejuvenescence, witli her locks on 

 one side white as snow, and on the other riTahng Milton's "raycB 

 down of darlcness," — is a manifesto of The Great American Hair 

 Tonic and HEBEAIONA, or Bahn of Cytheria^ which was proven 

 at the late Boston Mechanics' Fair, on the authority of Dr. Hayes the 

 eminent State Assayer^ " over the choicest hair dyes of the Union, to 

 he the best in the v/orld. It permeates to the cellular tissue of the 

 cuticle, and forces the Hair and Moustaches to grow. It cures " — ^but 

 we have not space for its many yirtiies. It manifestly would be fatal 

 to any lady's womanhood should it touch her chin ; ajid a very small 

 pot of it may be warranted quite equal to the largest quantum of 

 Bear's Grease, for converting a common deal box into the most 

 comfortable of hair trunks. Other equally gratifying evidences of the 

 world''s progress set forth " Professor Wood's Hair Hestorative : To 

 maiden beauty it is the finishing touch j to manhood it is the symbol 

 and warrant of strength and nobility, to day, as in the days of the 

 Patriarchs," &c. Ox', if possible to reach a perukerian climax, we

 so called, put forth to rival this grand original — note the ridiculous 

 dilemmas they lead the unfortunates into w^ho use them ; The Rain- 

 bow Tints, the Bhsters, the Fits, the . . . ," &c. ! &c. ! ! &c. !! ! 



The novelties of drinking advertisements again furnish a highly 

 moral index of the Maine liquor law reform. One benevolent New 

 York dealer has provided himself with a stock of wines of the 

 most healing and medicinal character. Another, a Druggist of Boston, 

 disposes of his Sne old Whiskey " expressly for medicinal purposes ;" 

 and here again that useful public functionary the State Assayer, certi- 

 fies the peculiar aptitude of the said Whiskey for medieinal use. It is 

 accordingly put up in boxes, each containing one dozen quart bottles^ 

 for the convenience of delicate invalids. 



Tobacco has its virtues set forth in all the eloquence of fancy type,, 

 and from one New York agency v."e learn the somewhat note-worthy 

 information that he has " constantly on hand Tobaccos suited for the- 

 British provinces ;" so that it vtrould seem we have our own nicotians 

 specialities, whatever these may be. 



Literatiu'e again, plays — as becomaes this highly enlightened agCj,—
