EVENING STAR. BE FEARLESS AND FIRM. BY F. ALBERT SIMKINS. When misfortunes assail, and thy cherished a fail mee = And calumny on t! iF fame casts a blot, Idle grief and despendency will not avait thee, Be and firm, yet resigned to thy lot. Be = ne’er so harmless, and yet independ- Thy conscleace unseared, and thy fauits never P so few, Thou wilt still, being human, find ever attend- ant Thy folbies and frailties—thice enemies, too. Tis no time to waver, when t«mpexts surround When dark seems that future hope paiated so bright, Let scruples and fears ne'er perplex and confound bi thee, But dauntlessly arm for the desperate fight. Searee felt is the blow that we manfully parry, A bold front will oft awe the most truculent foe; ‘Sustained by thy faith, a stout heart ever Thou wiit heed not the force of advereity’s blow. Thomeh ying the dangers and toils that beset Though mid scenes of trouble thy life may be Be = i aries and firm, and thy foes will forget And all will be well with thee—al! well, at last. oo Macnetism.—The phenomena of magnet- ism, which a few years ago were only T0008 nised as existing in iron, and in a slight de- gree in other metals, are now known to be- ong to all matter; and with those of elec- tricity, with which they are intimately con- nected, either in the relation of effect and cause or the concomitant effects of a more general principle, are probably displayed in every part of the material universe. Recent researches render it probable that the sun and moon exert a magnetic influence upon our earth. Itis also now known that the magnetic needle is never at rest; that it is the subject of various changes, some depending upon the hour of the day, others upon the seasons of — year, others again upon longer periods of me Srezt Toots.—In making tools, the artist is directed by the color of the steel while heating The different colors direct, in tem- ring, to a standard. When steel is too ard, it will not do for tools intended to have a very fine edge, because it will soon become notched, and if too soft it will too easily bend he is the color for graves or tools used to work in the metals lue is the color for sprinzs and instruments for cutting soft sub- Stances, such as leather, &c. eee — MCVEMENTS OF OCEAN STEAMERS.

Dyxs—Dear Sir: 1 have used two bot- ues of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, and can truly say it is the greatest discovery of the age for restoring and changing the Hair. Before using it I was a man of seventy. My hair has now at- tained its original color. You can recommend it to the world without the least fear, as my case was one of the worst kind Yours respectfully, DAN’L N. MURPHY. CaRLite, Ili., June 27, 1858. have used Prof O. J. Wood's Hair Restora- tive, and have admired its wonderful effect. My hair was becoming, as ! thought, prematurely gray; but by the use of the ‘‘ Restorative” it has resumed its original color, and, I have no doubt, permanently so. SIDNEY BREESE, Ex-Senator United States. HAIR RESTORATIVE —Inourcolumns to- day will be found Prof. Wood’s advertisement of the above artiele, to which we call attention. "What it has done, we have witnessed upon sev- eral of our acquaintances in St. Louis. Hair once gtay met our view, black or brown as the case might be, being the color of early manhood ; and as fineand glossy as silk, and that without any other application than the Restorative. If it has done this upon others, will it not do the same for any of our readers whose ‘‘ frosty prows’’ were once like the ‘‘ raven locks’? of Lothiel’s warlike chief, if they will try it. We think so.—Jackson ville Constitutional, Oct. 5, 1853. THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AGE .—It seldom occurs that we notice, under any circumstanees, patent medicines, restora tives, or anything of the kind, for we have a pre- judice against most of them. But candor com- ‘1s us to invite attention to the advertisement of iofessor Wood’s Hair Restorative. We are too juvenile to require anything of the kind, butsome instances of {ts use have come to our knowledge which almost assures us that it is a sovereign remedy against the hair becoming prematurely gray. Itis not a ‘‘ Hair Dye,*’ but upon its ap- pecan, as directed, the effect is produced upon he skin, which brings out the original colored hair, without stiffness, and gives it a glossy and natural appearance. We have seen persons who have it, and are much pleased with it. bx- amine the adyertisement — Missouri Republi an. O. J.
