A SINS'tULAR STORY.
A CHILDLESS LADY'S REMARKABLE
AND ITS SEQUEL.
Centralia, IiI., June 18.—The par-
ticulars of a singular adoption are
published to -day. Col. L. 1r'. Casey
is a prominent looal lawyer. Hislwife
is an estimable lady. After a married
life of many years, unmarred by a re-
gret or displeasure, save the need of
a child's championship to brighten up
the old home, they determined to
adopt a baby girl if a suitable one
could be found. One night, two
years ago, Mrs. Cagey and her sister-
in-law retired together, and befcre
going to sleep chatted about the pro.
posed adoption. When the oonverea-
bion had ended Mrs. Casey was elec—
trified by a vision of childish loveli-
ness at her side. A baby -girl, with
large brown eyes and auburn ring-
lets lay there smiling, and cooing,and
silently supplicating for a kiss. She
stooped to oarrees the beautiful vision
and it vanished. Being wide awake
the inoidenb made a deep impression
on her. Not many days later -a
a tousle luminous dark beauty of stranger appeared bearing a little girl
ohm. He hid heard of the desire of
Col. and Mrs. Casey to adopt a child,
and he had made bold to come to
therm with this his only daughter.
lie was anxious that she should re-
ceive a good education and all the ad-
vantages of a cheerful home, whioh
he felt incompetent to give her. Thus
speaking the stranger placed the
little one on the floor. 1VIrs. Casey,
from the moment of the stranger's
entrance, had been staring ;fixedly al
the child in his arms. The baby had
the large brown eyes and the auburn
locks and the smiles of her vision.

hers so becomingly arrayed before,
and I told her so presently.

but go for your ride.'
So we parted, and went on our re—
spective ways; Alt and I waited to
see Sir Lewis and Mrs. Percy start in
the pony—carriage, and as we watch-
ed them out of sight at the end of the
avenue, be turned to pub me on my
horse, with such a world of anxiety in
his eyes, that I asked :
'Alf, what is ib ?'
'A last chance—and if it fails !
Ma. C. P. BRtCrER writes from Kirby, 0.,
Jsr,i g, 1882: " Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and In short time 1 ben ;tits
nearly bald, I used part of a bottle e „t

ing of the hair, and started a. new growth. f

use of your preparation I should have been

is a most excellent preparation for the hair.
1 speak of it from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth of new hair, and
makes it glossy anti soft. The Virion is also
a sura cure for dandruff. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction."
1)I1t. Avotls FAIRRAIR\, leader of the
celebrated "Fairbairn Family" of Scottish
Vocalists, writes front Boston, Nose., I e b. G,
1880: "Ever since ,ny hair began to give sil-
very evidence of the change which tleeLt g
time procureth, I have used AYI.zt s Hutt
Vinon, and so have been able to maintain
an appearance of youthfulness—a matter of
considerable consequence to ministers, ora-
tors, actors, and in fact every one who lives
in the eyes of the public."
MRS. O. A. PREscOTT, writing from 18 Elm
St, Charlestown, Mass., April 14, 1883, says:
"Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair
carte oaf. It thinned very rapidly, and was
fast growing bald. On using AYER's 11Aut
VIGOR the falling stopped and a new growth
contnteneed, and in about a month try head
was completely covored'with short hair. It
has continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. I regularly used but one bottle
of the V too°, but now use it occasionally as
a dressing."
We have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of AYER's HAIR VIGOR. It
needs but a trial to convince the most skeptt•
cal of its value.
