I tried a variety of preparations, but with- out beneficial result, till I began to fear I should be permanently bald. About six months ago my husband brought home a bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor, and I began at once to use it.

To the Editor of Thr• New E, n Dixi SIR. --The weather is now get- ting spring-like, and the "ice king" is no longer triumphant here. The nelds are already turning green, and 1 he swelling buds upon the tree• give evi- dence that they, too, will soon be clothed again. in beauty. Woollen Wraps and overcoats are at a discount. The latest spring styles deck the win- dows of the vatious stores, and a gene- ral revival of business has commenced in earnest. Everybody sums busy now, and notice has been given through the papers of demand for additional workmen upon the buildings in course of erection on the exhibition grounds. The announcement is 'condemned by residents here, as an over supply is feared, owing to the dull times among artizans and mechanics at the north. But. Atlanta does not pay fancy wages; good carpenters' can he secured here for $1.50 pet day, and first-class teen, $2; painters, $1 to $1,2.5, and laborers in great abundance at 75e; mostly negt 'es. W'l'hen it is considered t hat the cost of living is high. especially meats, vegetables and fruits, and hay and corn fur the mules, all of which ar- rive here constantly from the north and west, not being produced here in sufficient quantities for the require- ments of the country, and with high rents and taxes, the wonder is that workmen can manage to keep even with.their expenses. All through the south there is a great over -supply of negro laborers, but a thinning out process has been actively going on the past winter. Contracts by parties in and near Mexi- co, and elsewhere in South America, were entered into, and passage money supplie l t) ral v'ays,toenlist a Id deliver many hundreds of negroes from Geor- gia and Alabama, with their families, to work in their cotton fields, and has been successfully carried out. They wert, offered cabins to live in, with a garden patch and free rations, but very little money for their labor. After the expiration of five years' faithful service the contractor to deed each family a few acres of land in their own right, as a homestead. Also, about a month ago, in the State of Tennessee, a ship load of negroes were collected, and took their departure for Liberia, with their families. The condition of the negroes in this country, since the days of slavery, has been anything but satisfactory, and their extreme poverty is painfl to contemplate. Deprived of all luxuries but the proverbial watermelon, which he will find a way to get, he sits down to his frugal meal of hoe cake and greens, or potatoes and pork, in a log cabin of but one room, without win- dows or light, only by leaving the door ajar, and this in the dead of winter. There is no stove, and scarcely any furniture, which be makes himself, of the rudest kind. If he hires his board be will obtain it, with lodging; at $4 per month. Should sickness come, he ,or his family scarcely ever obtain medical attention, which he cannot afford, and the sickness generally ter- minates fatally. His condition cannot be worse, go where he will, and he can lose nothing by the venture in leaving the country. Georgia expects a' largel influx; of home seekers from the west, especially from Dakota, where so much suffering among the agriculturists existed during the past winter, from the drouth last summer, resultingin the complete loss of their crops, anreducing them to a condition of starvation, but relieved partially by the southern liberality. Many home seekers from other por- tions of the United States are also ex- pected here the coming summer, in meat of a more agreeable climate, and to better their condition generally. To prevent any disappointtnent to such, I would advise a short residence here before venturing to buy. There will he many glittering stories told them by land agents, the truth of which they would be wise to test, for them- f,elves. Of course there are splendid opportunities to buy here at low prices, among a well-settled and intelligent community, in n heantiful rlimate.wit.h abundance of schools and churches everywhere. • The south is not, accord- ing to my eXpezience, a good agricul- tural country, on accountof the paver" ty of the sell, especiallry throegh north and iniddle Georgia,. The uplands Me very poor, and will scarcely produce anything, and although highly fertil, ized with Gumruerciat manures, owing to the heavy raius so prevalent in this country, the surface of the ground is continually washing away to the low - lauds, creeks and rivers, and to the sea, leaving the hills more barren from year to year. Perhaps in the distant future, under a more intelligent system of farming than that practised now, when the hills become properly ter- raced, and a system of farming, em- bracing proper rotation of crops, far different and better results may be ob- tained. At present the Georgia farmer is content with the product of 25 bush- els of northern potatoes per acre, 10 of corn, 5 of oats or wheat, and a small crop of apples or peaches once in four or five year's, and of common fruit at that—his own seedlings from the pit or seed. It is impossible to grow the fine varieties of sweet cherries s.: plentiful at the north. owing to bursting of the bark, and you never see them on the market. Neither will currants, goose- berries or rhubarb succeed; raspberries. strawberries, grapes, in fact anything in the fruit line, will not produce, at best, hardly half the amount obtained at the nor:h per acre. Neither can Florida be depended on hereafter, as a profitable field for the culture of tropical fruits. I read an article in to -day's paper, headed "Send- ing coal to Newcastle;" it referred to the arrival of the first car load of oranges in that State, from California. To give you some idea of the sudden- ness and sevterit of the last storm in, Florida, 1 am informed bya party who owns a small garden in the southern part of the State, which was ruined in a day, atter second planting. His ex- perience, I think, is without a parallel in history. At noun. en the 8th Feb. last, the thermometer stood at 76 de- grees in the shade, at 4 p. m., it was at 40, and by 0 o'clock the same evening icicles were hanging from the roofs of buildings, kiliing all the trees in north- ern Florida, and 75 per cent of all the orange trees in South Flo' ila. A country inay possess many invit- ing features for the home seeker, but that any one location contains all that is desirable, I have yet to learn. Yours truly, E. S. L. CIIR1S'I'IAN EX PERiJiNC'E, To the Editor of the Ar, tr• Era DEAR Silt.—I have just come from the house of Goa, and I wish I could express the thoughts that have been coursing through my mind. It is a sacred place to meet with the people of God, where they meet to Implore di- vine gi ace and strength for the battles of life, and 1 was thinking of the large number that have gone,tr•otn us; gone to that better land, where there shall be no more tears, no more sorrow,sick- ness or death, but Where God will wipe them all away, and we shall be "forever with the Lord," and where we shall see his face and be like him. And I was thinking, since I first commenced to meet (for you know there was a time when I did not love the people of God) with God's people, Brother H. is gone, Bro F. is gone, Bro. C. is gone, Bro. H., Bio. WV., and Bro. R. and many others; and Sister M. and others, who ha'•e all passed within the wail, and how we• have so often met to "compare notes," to rejoice together, to weep ' get her, to sung 1 he songs of Zion to- gether; and you know tnat our guide book telis'ti that the Lord -hearkened and heard, and "They shall be inine, saith the Lona, when I retake up my jewels; and 1 will spare them, as a roan spareth his son than. Servet h hint." And the Sun ot Righteousness shall arise, with healing in his wings. And they shall grow up as calves of the stall. Oh, Ili o. Holmes, isn't the C'hristian's portion a happy portion Our father not only gi ves us joy in the glorious anticipation of the sweet rest. in heaven, but we are adopted into his family, and made heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, and "to him that overcometh I will grant to sit with me on my throne." I went home and Ctold my blessed Jesus that I would try to live closer to him, and try and work more earnestly in his vine- yard, and help him to bring the wan- derer to his fold. Oh that "sweet hour of prayer. that calls us from a wo:Id of care," and it is a world of care, but then He brightens it, arid bears it for ns, if we will only let hire; but don't we often go to him with our cares, and ask him to bear theta for us, and then get up and carry thein away with us again, instead of leaving tnem with him, for he says, l'Call upon me in the day of trouble and I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify rue." Oh, what a rich treasure house we have in the word of God; a balm for every wound; a cordial for every fear. It is so real, so satisfying, it meets our individual cases as nothing else could. "Oh that with yonder sacred throng we at his feet may fall, join in the everlasting song, and crown him Lord of all.' To him that hath loved us, and washed tis from our sins, in his own blood, be glory and dominion forever and ever. "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST. It is reported that Mr Peter McGow- an, of Eginondville, who went to Ire- land last summer to spend the re- mainder of his days, has been robbed of all his money, amounting to about $700. If this is the case he will be en- t:rely destitute, as he left no property in this country.

The publication of John S. C. Abbott's His- tory of Napoleon Bonaparte began in 1851, as a serial in Harper's Magazine, atm was continued during more than three years.

The two handsome volumes con- taining almost 1,300 large pages, admirable typographically and generously illustrated, are now perhaps more than ever in request, as one result of.the wide -spread interest in the work.

The death of A, M. Smith, Toronto, brings to mind a little bit of history. Two lads joined the 03rd Highlanders, and came to Canada with that regi- ment to quell the rebellion of 18'37. They were bosom companions, always together when off duty. They were excellent soldiers; never grumbling; it was duty first all the time, and their commanding officer was heard to re- mark that they would he officers some day. One of thein took this discharge just as the regiment was leaving Canada. Ile was fond of soldiering, but fonder of a Scotch girl whom he had met in Canada. He was married to her, and went into the grocery business, in which he made a great success. As time went on his assistance and counsel were much sought after by financial corporations, and he became president or director of several banks, loan companies, insurance corporations and many other interests, and an ex- tensive steamship owner. He became one of the wealthiest men in Canada. Fie went into the militia, and for a Gine during the Fenian raid command- ed a garrison brigade. Going into politics, he became an alderman, Mayor of Toronto, and a member of Parliament, and, had he so desired, could have been a Senator, for he sank his politics when he considered it in the interest of his country that he should do so. The other boy, much grieved at the parting, retnained with his regiment, won distinction and promotion for his bravery in the Crimea, and afterwards in the Indian Mutiny and in lesser campaigns. He ted his men to victory in many a storming party in many a battle. He was at Alma, Inkerman, Balaclava, at Cawnpore and Lucknow. He was one of the famous "thin red line" that withstood the desperate Rus- sian cavalry charge. He won a Vic- toria Cross, the highest award a soldier can get. When there was hard and dangerous work to do, he was elected to lead, for his regiment would follow him anywhere. As one of his men enthusiastically said: "With him in command, we icould take Hell itself." He became a majJor-general, and, if I mistake not wits knighted. They are both gone now. The first boy was A. M. Smith and the other Major-General MacBean. This is a story far clerks. It shows that hard work and strict attention to Cry for IPItcher'c Castes. duty will always tell in the long run. The bvy or young - man who considers his personal comfort and engagements before those of his employers never make a success. HIGH MASS FOR SIR JOHN. The Montreal Witness asserts, not- withstanding the denial of Sir Mao- kenzie Bowell, that the Government did order a state mass for the late Sir John Thompson, and proves its asser- tion as follows : On Dec. 17 the following n.otice was sent out from the Department of Pub- lic Works, written on official paper, and signed by one of the chief officers of the department :— A Pontiflcial High Mass will, by or- der of the government, be celebrated at the Basilica on Friday, by Arch- bishop Duhamel. This appeared word for word in the Ottawa Journal of the same day, and the Mail -Empire. Next day : If anything more was needed than an official announcement on official paper, signed by a deputy minister that the government had or- dered the mass, there was the order of the new premier proclaiming aeneral half -holiday, and there was the fact that not a prominent officer of the government, whether Protestant or roman Catholic, felt at liberty to ab- sent himself from this state service. The Witness concludes as follows :— "It remains true, however, that the service was ordered by government, was announced in the very papers which are now lying about it as a state function, and was generally talked about as such. It remains true that the very decorations were the work of employees of the Public Works De- partment, that furniture from the pub- lic buildings was placed in the Basilica for the occasion, and that the govern- ment issued tickets for the perform- ance. If the government has, as is now said, refused to pay some of the ex- pensessome very exalted Roman Catholics were badly fooled. We chal- lenge an investigation, Sir Mackenzie and those who have taken up this pre- varicating defence of the government will probably before all is done, wish they had kept still," CATARRH RELIEVED is 10 TO 00 MINUTES.
