FOS RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
UATIV.AL VITALITY AND COLOR.'
It ia a most agreeable dressing, "which
la at once harmless and effectual, for pre-ecn-irg
the hair. It restores, with the
glos3 and fresbness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
Mack, a3 may be desired. Ey its use t.bin
hair is iLickcned, and baldness often
though r.ot always cured. It checks falling
of the hair immediately, and causes a new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The YiGon cleanses the scalp, cures and
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of the
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
Which conditions diseases of tho 6calp and
nair are impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair,
The Vioob is incomparable. It Is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambric. It imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet It is economical ar"
unsurpassed in its excellence

The following beantilul poem, from the New

Cast. O'Rourke, of Plattsmouth. Neb.
Ireland's Call.
BY KR3. ariNNUC GILKORU-
A wall goes up from a far-off shore,
A cry that the nations have heard before,
Piercing the heart tolits very core.
So full of anguish and woe ;
Tis the cUl of children for bread they cry
'lis the groan of men who are willing tp die,
Tis the moan of women with weeping eye.
As tkey see their homes laid lew.
That land to each Irish heart Is dear.
It nourished brave men In the bygone years,
It holds our loved to our souls most near.
Shall we hear in vuin that cry?
The very sod trembles beneath the feet
Of men determined the worst to meet.
To die for;their country lsjdeeth moet ewset.
And the martyr's crown is on high.
Winter Is here, and tho Christmas tide
That bringsTgoodicheer to the world so wlJo,
Is near, but oh. what good doth abids
In the hoHsasJwhereJour fathers lived and tiled
What cheer hatluErin to-day?
Tl?y crass the threshold 'tis home no mora
Tho' their wivesradorned it e'?r and o'er,
And their little ones played around tho door ;
Oh.lserrowlag motbersfprsy.
Box -iarrtpj and homeless ye wander forth
Ye who had plenty around your hearth.
While nature smiled on the fruitful earth.
And the hand of toll was strong ;
Your UttUs ones never knew woe or want.
But smiled at your pictures of poverty gaunt.
An4 shouted in mirth at the doleful chant
As processions passed aloDj.
"What meaas It, mother?" "Ah, cMld. you
shall know
When the father is summoned, the father must
You have answered them oft In a whisper !ow
Thsy see what It means to-day ;
The 'plaint Is rising from Erin's shore.
The nation has heard that sound before ;
la the Lie lees dear than la days of yore.
That we fold our hands and listen no more,
Nor charity's call obey?
Are men less daring when hungry and ecld.
When the tear-stained cheek of ft wife they
behold.
And the infant's cry of distress untold.
Strikes a pang to the father's heart?
And because misfortune comes unaware,
Will they meekly bow in mute despair,
Or, will they nobly rise up and dare,
Trusting in God who hesreth their prayer,
And avenge the cruel smart?

"Come, John," eaid I cheerfully, Mlt
really is time to go; if you stay any long
I shall be afraid to come down and lock
the door after you."
My visitor roo a proceeding that al
ways reminded me of the genius emerg
ing from the copjer Tessel, as he meas
ured six feet three and stood looking re
proachfully down at me.
"You are in a great hurry to get rid of
me," he said.
Now I didn't agree with him, for he
had made his usual call of two hours and
a half; having, ia country phrase, taken
to "sitting up" with me oo literally that I
waa frequently at my wit's end to aup
press the yawn that I knew it would
bring a troop after it.
lie was a line, manly-looking fellow,
this John Crawford, old fur his age
which was the rather boyhh period of 22
and every way worthy of being loved.
But I didn't love him. I was sven years
hu senior; when, instead of letting the
worm of concealment prey on his damask
cheek, bo ventured to tell his love for my
mature self. I remorselessly seized an
English prayer-book, and pointed sternly
to the clause, "A man may not marry his
grandmother." That was three years ago
and I added, encouragingly, "besides,
John, you are a child and don't know,
your own mind."
"If a man of 19 doesnt know his mind"
remonstrated my lover, "I would like to
know who should. But I will wait for
you seven years, if you say o fourteen
as Jacob did for KachaeL"
"vou forget," 1 replied, laughing at his
way of mending matters, "that a woman
does not, like wine, improve with age.
But, seriously, John, this is absurd; you
are a nice boy, and I liko you but my
feelings toward you are more those of
mother than a wife."
The boy's eyes flashed indignantly; and
before I could divine his intention he had
lifted me from the spot where I stood,and
carried me infant-fashion, to the sofa, at
tho other end of th room.
"I could almost find it in my heart to
shake you 1" he muttered, aa he set mo
down with emphasis.
This was rather like the courtship of
William of Normandy, and matters prom
ised to be quite exciting.
"Don't do that again," said I wth dig
nity, when I recovered my breath.
"Will you marry me!" asked Joha
somewhat threateningly.
-"Not jusl at present," I replied.
The great handsome fellow," I thought
4a ha paocd the floor restlessly, "why
couldn't he fall in love with some girl of
15. instead of setting his affection on &
old maid liko met I don't want the boy
on my hands, aad won't hare him 2"
"As to your being 23," persued John,
in answer to my thoughts, "you say its
down in the family Bible, and I suppose
it murt be so; but no one would believe
it; and I don't care if you're 40. You
look like a girl of 1G, and you are the
only woman I shall ever love."
"Oh. John, John t at least five millions
cf men have said the same thing before
in every known language. Nevertheless,
when you fairly break down and cry, I
relent for I am disgracefully soft-hearted
and weakly promise then and there
that I will either keep my own came or
take yours." For love is a very dog in
he manger, and John looked radiant at
this concession. It was a comfort to
know that if he could not gather the flow
er himself, no one else would.
A sort of family shipwreck had wafted
John to my threshold. Our own house
hold was sadly broken up, and I found
myself comparatively young in years,
with a half-invalid father, a large houaz,
and very little money. What more natur
al than to take boarders! And among
the first were Mr. Cracford and his son,
and sister, who had just been wrecked,
themselves by the death of the wife aad
mother in a foreign land one of those
sudden, unexpected deaths, that leave the
survivors in a dazed condition, because it
is so dinzcult to imagine the giy world
ling who has been called hence in another
state of being.
31 r. CranfoK was one of nty admira
tions from the first. Tall, pale, with dark
hair and eyes, he reminded me of Dante,
only that he was handsomer; ana ho haa
such a general air of knowing everything
worth knowing (without tho least pedant
ry, however,) that I was quite afraid of
him, He was evidently wrapped up ia
Jchn, and patient with his sister which
was asking quite enough of Christian
charity under the ths sun, for lira. &heU-
grove was an rinmitigated nuisance Sveh
a talker 1 babbling of her own and her
brother's affairs with equal hidiscretioa
and treating the latter as though he were
an incapable infant.
They stayed with tis for three years,and
during that time I was fairly persecuted
about John. Mrs. Bhellgrove wrote me a
letter on the subject, in which the inform
ed, me that the whole family were ready
to receive me with open arms a prospect
that I did not find at all alluring. They
seemel to have their hearts set upon me
as a perscn peculiarly fitted to train John
in the way he should go. Everything, I
wf a toldjUepended on his getting the light
kind cf a wifa. .
A special interview with llr. Cranford,
at his particular request, touched me con
siderably. '
"I hope," said he "that you will not refuse
ray boy, Miss Edna. lie has set his heart
so fully upon you, and you are everything
that I could desire in a daughter. 1 want
some cue to pet. I feel sadly lonely at
times, and I am sure that you would just
.11 the vacant niche."
I drew my hand away from his careaa
and almost felt lik hating John Cran
ford. Life with him would he one of
ease and luxury ; but I decided that I had
father keep boarders.
Not long after this the Craafords con
cluded to go to housekeeping, and Mrs.
Shellgrove was in her glory. She always
came to luncheon now in her bonnet, and
gave us minute details of all that had
Leen dune and talked of about the house
in the last twenty-four hours.
'It is really magnificent," said she,
IsngtSatning out each a viable. "Brother
has such perfect taste. And he is actu
ally furnishing the library, Miss Edna,
af.er your suggestion. You see, we look
upon you quite as one of the family
"That is very good of you," I replied,
shortly; "but I certainly have no expec
tation of ever belonging to it,"
" Mrs. Shellgrovo laughed as though I
hd perpotrateol an exeelleit jolt.
"Young ls.dios always deny these
things, of course; but John tells a differ
ent story.
I rattled the cups and saucers angrily;
and my thoughts floated off not to John,
but to John's father, sitting lonely in the
library furnished after my suggestion.
Wasn't it, after all, my duty to marry the
family generally!
The house waa finished and moved into
and John spent his evenings with me. I
usad to get dreadfully tired of him. He
was really too devotea to be at all interest
ing, and I had reached that state of feel
ing wbich,ifsummarily ordered to take my
choice between him and the gallows, I
would hare prepared ray self for hanging
with a sort of cheerful alacrity.
1 locked the door upon John on the ev
ening iu question, when I had finally got
ten rid of him, with tbeso feelings in full
force; and I meditated while undressing
on some desperate move that would bring
natters to a crisis.
But the boy had become roused at last.
He, too, had rejected in the watches of
the night; and next day I received quite a
dignified letter from him, telling me that
business cat led him from the city for two
or three weeks, and that possibly on his re
turn I might appreciate his devotion bet
ter. I felt inexpressibly relieved. It ap
peared to me the most sensible move that
John had made in the whole course of our
acquaintance, and I began to breathe
with more freedom.
Time flew, however, and the three
weeks lengthened to six withoct John's re
turn. He wrote to me, but his letters be
came somewhat constrained; and I scarce
ly knew what to make of him.. Jf he
would only give me up, I thought; but
I felt suro that ho would hold me to that
weak promise of mine, that I should
either become Edna Crsuford or remain
Edna Carrington.
"Mr. Cranford" was announced one ev
ening, and I entered the parlor fully pre
pared for an overdose of John, but found
myself confronted by his father.
lie looked very grave, and instantly I
imagined all sorts of things, and re
proached myself for my coldness.
"John is well?" I gasped, finally.
"Quite well," was the reply, in such
kind tones that I felt sure there was some
thing wrong.
What it was I cared not, but poured
forth my feelings impetuously to my as
tonished visitor.
"He must not come here again I" I ex
claimed. "I do not wish to see him. Tell
him so, Mr. Cranford ! tell him that I
had rather remain Edna Carrington as he
made me promise, than to become Edna
Cranford.4
"And he made you promise this!" was
the reply. "Tho selfish fellow 1 But, Ed
na, what am I to do without the little girl
I have been expecting t I am very lonely
so lonely that I do not see how I can
give her up."
I glanced at him, and the room seemed
swimming round everything was dread
fully unreal. I tried to sit down, and was
carried tenderly to the sofa.
"Shall it be Edna Carrington, or Edna
Cranford ?" he whispered. "You need not
break your promise to John."
"Edna Cranford," I replied, feeling
that I had left the world entirely, end was
in another sphere of existence.
If the thought crossed my mind that
Mr. Cranford had rather cheerfully sup
planted his son, the proceeding was fully
justified during the viait which I soon re
ceived from that young gentleman. I
tried to make it plain to him that I did
him no wrong, as I had never professed to
love him, though not at all sure that I
wouldn't receive tho shaking threatened
on a previous occasion, and I endeavored
to be as tender as possible, for I avlt re
ally sorry for him.
To my great surprise, John laughed.
"Well, this is jolly 1" he exclaimed.
"And I'm not a villain, after aiL What
do you think of her, Edna!"
He produced tn ivorytype ia a rich vel
vet case a pretty, little, blue-eyed sim
pleton, she looked about 17.
"Ro3e," he continued "Rose Darling;
ths name suits her, doesn't it! She was
staying at my uncles in Maryland that's
where I've been visiting, you know and
she's such a dear little confiding tiling that
a fellow couldn't help falling in love with
her. And she thinks no end of me, you
aec; says she's quite afraid of mo and all
that."
John knew that I wasn't a bit afraid of
1dm; but I felt an elder sisterly sort of
interest in his happiness, and had never
liked him so well as at that moment. And
this was the dreadful news that his father
had come to break to me, when his narra
tive was nipped in the bud by my revela
tions, and tne interview ended in a far
more satisfactory manner than either of
us had anticipated.
Bo I kept my promise to John after all,
and as Miss Host kept hers, he is now
a steady married man, and a very agiesa
ble son-in-law.
Being asked what made him so dirty, a
street arab replied, "I was made so they
tell me, of dust, and I suppose it work

Haw to Keep Teeth Clean and Healthful.
As I am not aware of any thing prac
tically new in the way of dentifrices,
I can only allude t them as auxilia
ries or assistants in promoting cleanli
ness, and in neutralizing the abnormal
acidity so commonly present in the
oral cavity. No one has yet discover
ed the magic prophylactic, notwith
standing tho absurd claims of the ven
ders of various nostrums, such as "So
zodont." Of this article I will testify
to what Is also well kown by most den
tists namely, that it destroys the color
f the teeth, turning then to a decid
edly dark yellow.
There is, of course, quite a general
use of tooth brushes by the people, but
not uncommonly an abuse cf them for
want of proper instruction. It is get
ting to be better understood by both
dentists and patients now than form
erly that a crosswise brushing is not
wise, but that the upper teeth should
be brushod downward, and the lower
teeth upward. It is a common mis
take not to brush thoroughly the buc
cal and posterior surfaces of the third
molars, and lingual surfaces of the
lower front teeth. I am sure thnt
nothiug like an adequate amount of
care is given to this preventive ser
vice. It cannot be too strongly im
pressed on the minds of the guardians
of children that they should see that
the practice of brushing the teeth thor
oughly is begun as early as possibly, so
that it shall become a habit to be con
tinued through life.
Concerning the forms of brushes, I
will say that straight brushes are ut
terly impracticable no the surfaces to
which I have referred aa the ones most
neglected. Curved brushes with a tuft
end, bud shaped or convex, are the best.
There are several favored forms that
are quite efiicient in tho line I have
spoken ef. One of these, named the
"Windser," I have faithfully tri6d for
twenty months past, and introduced it
very generally in my practice, and I
feel that it meets the indications bet
ter than any other within my knowl
edge.. The faithful use of floss silk be
tween the teeth ought to be earnestly
recommended; also the quill toothpick.
The wocd toothpicks so generally fur
nished at public eating places are a
source of much evil to the soft tis
sues between the teeth. All kinds of
metallic toothpicks are objectionable,
though I am aware that it is the prac
tice of some dentists to commend them
to their patients.
The value of a decided polished sur
face of tho tooth .becomes very appar
ent to those who have had the opera
tion performed ; the facility with which
such te6th can be kept clean is evident
and although this condition may have
been secured at considerable expense,
yet it is an investment that will pay a
good rate of interest, I do not think
many dentists have raueh idea of the
beautiful polish that a human tooth
will take. Many teeth are eapable of
a great improvement in this direction
which are now a decided detriment to
what might otherwise bo a pleasing
face. Ve know that the general idea
among the people is. that interfering
with the surfaces of tho teeth destroys
the enamel, but we also know that this
is a popular error. G. A. Mills, in Den
tal Cosmos.
The Banana Tree.
Throtrghout the tropical regions, the
banana forms the chief subsistence of
whole races of men. It is, indeed, inferi
or to grain in nutritive qualities, but pro
duces much more yield to tho acre. Half
an acre planted with wheat in Europe,
would support only two persons while ia
bana&as, in the tropica, it would maintain
fifty. It has been calculated that a plat
of ground 100 yards square, in bananas,
will yield 40C01b in nutritive substance
and, consequently, that this fruit is, in
imount of product, as 1 33 to 1 compared
with wheat, and 44 to 1 compared with
potatoes.
The easy conditions of growth and the
facility of its cultivation Jars also greatly
in favor of the banana. The tree ia its trop
ical home, is about 15 feet in height, con
sisting of a single stem, round and straight
grasnish-yellow in color, rjid surmounted
by a spreading crown of broad oval leaves
six feet in length by 18 inches in breadth.
A thick, strong back stem runs through
the centre of the leaves, but they are,
nevertheless, so delicate that the wind fre
quently tears them.
A tuft of blocsoms appear in ths mid
dle of this leafy crown some six or eight
months after the germination cf the plant.
These are succeeded by a cluster of deli
cious fruit some eight inches in length by
one in dismeter, so familiar to us in our
seaboard cities. The&e clusters, which
tTten weigh frcin 50 to 75 pounds, some
times include from 100 io 150 separate
bananas. When the cluster is cut olf the
severed stem dries up and new shoots
rapidly spring from its base preparatory
to a fresh yield of fruit, which will ap
pear in the courea cf six months.
The cultivatioa of this precious tree is
accomplished by simply protecting it
from injury aad turning the soil at its
root, while its culinary preparation is
achieved by meie boiling, baking, or
roasting, although it is susceptible of all
