—Unrivalled Array of Talent.—The proprietors of The 
Post, in again coming before the public, would return thanks 
for the generous patronage which has pliced them far in ad¬ 
vance of every other Literary Weekly in America. And, as 
the only suitable return for such free and hearty support, their 
arrangements for 1854 have been made with a degree of lib¬ 
erality probably unequaled in the history of American news¬ 
paper literature. They have engaged as contributors for the 
ensuing year the following brilliant array of talent and ge¬ 
nius : 
Mrs. Southworth, Emerson Bennett, Mrs. Denison, Grace 
Greenwood and Fanny Fern.

and pleasant connection with The Post. The next story from 
her gifted pen will be entitled 
MIRIAN. THE AVENGER: Or, The Fatal Vow. 
By Emma D. E. N. Southworth, author of “ The Curse of Clif¬ 
ton,” " The Lost Heiress,” “ The Deserted Wife,” &c, 
And—not least—we are authorized to announce a series of

fervor. They will be entitled

HAIR RESTORERS, &c. 
M E PLUS ULTRA.-THE STEADY PERSEVERANCE 
and practice of a great many years have enabled J. 
LASCALA to discover what all the endeavors of men have hi¬ 
therto found to be useless. J. Lascala’s Vegetable Hair Re¬ 
generator is the very specific to cure the diseases of the inte¬ 
gument of the head, which cause the deterioration or the 
loss of the ornament of the head, so that it prevents baldness, 
causes the hair to grow, makes the dandruff disappear, and 
renders to the hair a beautiful gloss. This article will be 
found at Lascala’s Perfumery Store, 584 Broadway. Metropoli¬ 
tan Hotel, where there is the best assortment of French Per¬ 
fumery, Shirts, Cravats, Handkerchiefs, Canes, and Umbrellas, 
and every kind of fashionable toilet articles. 1-13 
irm ARKER’S CHEVEUXTONIQUE.—THIS IS AN ENTIRE- 
IO) ly new article, concocted for the purpose of Preserving, 
Restoring, and Beautifying the Hair, and, unlike most prepa¬ 
rations designed for the same objects, it is free from all grease, 
so that its application cannot soil the most delicate fabric. 
As an eradicator of Dandruff, it is unequalled, while its infal- 
libity in cases of headache, easing the most violent in a few 
moments, cannot fail to commend it to universal appreciation. 
The Cheveuxtonique is for sale by all the respectable drug¬ 
gists and fancy stores throughout the city. The depot for its 
sale, wholesale and retail, is at BARKER’S Ladies’ Hair-dress- 
ng Establishment, No. 439 Broadway. 2-48 
A GREAT AND IMPORTANT END ACCOMPLISHED.- 
Van Deusen’s Improved Wahpene is now confidently and 
generally offered by the inventor, as one of the best modern 
specifics for the Improvement, Health, and Beauty of the 
Human Hair. Its faithful application will, on the head of 
Baldness, reproduce a fine and entirely new growth, and con¬ 
vert that which is gray to its natural and primitive color. 
This desirable change is effected by the action of the improved 
Wahpene on the roots or fibres, thereby aiding nature in 
restoring those healthy functions indispensable to the life 
and beauty of the Hair. This invaluable article consists alto¬ 
gether of vegetable infusions, and is entirely free from all 
mineral acids and alcoholic agency. As an article for the 
Toilet, also, this preparation is without a rival, cleansing the 
head from Dandruff and Scurf, and affording an efficacious 
remedy for nervous and constitutional headaches. Sold by 
the inventor at the GENERAL DEPOT, 123 CHAMBERS ST., 
and by the principal Druggists of New-York and Brooklyn 
Cities, and those of the United States generally. 1—17 
IGS AND TOUPEES—MEDHURST & HEARD’S NEW- 
ly invented Gossamer Wigs, Scalps, and Toupees, are 
far in advance of all others offered to the public. They are

defy the closest inspection to detect them from a natural head 
of hair. Best assortment of Wigs, Half-Wigs. Toupees, Braids
