THE FIRST AMERICAN CONVENTION OF CIRCUS PERFORMERS AND GRAND EQUESTRIAN CONGRESS wit BE HELD AT WASHINGTON, un- on EVENING STAR. THE LITTLE SHOE. BY MARY NEAL I found it here—a worn out shoe, All mildewed with time and wet with dew ; *Tis alittle thing ; ye would pass it b' With never a thought, or word, or sigh, Yet it stirs in my spirita hidden a And in eloquent tones of the past doth tell. It tells of a little fairy child That bound my heart with s magic wild, or Leight — eves ae goign Lei . Tha’ ever s) jo" sul re Of a prattling nies sweet and clear, And tiny feet that were ever near. It tells of Lopes that w1'h her had birth, buried now In the silent earth; Of a heart that had met an answering tone, That again fs left alone—alone! Of days of watching and anxious prayer— Ofa night of sorrow and dark despair It tells of a form that fs cold and still— Ofa little mound upen yonder hill, That is dearer far to a mother’s heart Tha» the classic ‘‘sta ues of Grecian art Ab! strangers may pass with a careless air, Nor dream of the hopes that are buried there. Oh, ve who have never o’er loved ones ‘wept— Whose brightest hopes have ne’er been swe; Like the pure white cloud from the summer 8! Like the wreath of mist from the mo -ntain high Like the rainbow beaming a moment here, Then welting away to its native sphere ;— Like rose leaves, loosed by the zephyr’s sigh— Like that zephyr wafting its perfume by— Like the wave that Kisses some graceful spot, Then passes away — yet is ne'er forgot ; If like these your life-bopes have never fled, Ye cannot know of the tears I shed Ye cannot know what a little thing From Memory’s silent fount can bring The voice and form that were on-e 80 dear, Yet there are hearts, werethey only here ‘That could feel with me when, all wet with dew, I found it this morning—this Little shee. der acapacious Canvas Marque to be erected CENTRE MARKET SPACE, FOR 8IX DAYS, COMMENCING MONDAY, April 7th, fm pursuance of a project which has been matur- ing all Winter, ef res >rting to this means of se- lecting the best artists In every department of the cirele, for Spalding & Rogers’ NEW RAIL ROAD CIRCUS, for the transportation of the Persons, Horses, and Properties of which Messrs. S. & R. are now building NINE ESPECIAL RAILROAD CARS at the car factory of Messrs. Goold & Co., in Al- bany, N Y. And in carrying out the original intention of which. of se uring a troupe of ar- tists for a project involving so much expense, who shall each confessedly and by common consent the tery first in his or her depart mentof the profession, insurmountable difficulties are ? | found in the pretensions of the claimants to the 2 | honor of superiority, which can be decided only by their contesting with each other at the same time inthe samering. The prizes are: First. The sum of one hundred doliars incash. Second. A season’s engagement with the new Raiiroad Circus, and an advance of salary of 10 per cent. over the highest salary the successful competitor may have received at any previous season. And Third.

True—the shoes, by grinding down labor, are sold dog cheap; but nevertheless, ther have become the pies! shees in the werld. A pair of Massachusetts shoes lasts about thirty days; a pair of German made shoes lasts four or six months. O_O James Robinson, of 3.

Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative ILL RESTOKE 6RAY HAIR TO ORI- ginal color permanently; made to grow up on bald heads; remove all dandruff or itching; destroy all diseas:s uf the scalp; and if used once or twire a week regularly, will prevent the bair from becoming gray or falling, toan imaginable age Read the following testimonials, and we defy you to doubt, (says the Waverly Magazine.) Success to the genius whose tonic we eay, Turns back to its color the Hair that was gray. SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING !—By using Professor Wood's Hair Restorative, gray haircan be ‘permanently restored to its original color. The subjoined certificate was recelved from Johnson & Stone, Gardner, Me , and is but one of the many instances that are daily coming to our knowledge of its wonderful effects. It 1s no lou. ger problematical, but a self-evident truth, as hundreds of our community can testify.— Bos- ton Herald, Garvngr, Me, June 22, 1852. Ma. H. Dyzs—Dear Sir: I have used two bot- tles 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 | was aman of seventy. My bair 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 CaRvyue, Ill., June 27, 1953. Ihave used Prof © 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. .—1a ourcolumns to- day will be found Prof. Wood's advertisement of the above arlicle, to which we call attention. Whit it has done, we have witnessed upon sey- eral of owracquaintances in St. Louis. Hair once ray 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 Gi EATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.—It seldom occurs that we notice, under any circumstances, patent medicines, restora tives, or anything of the kind, for we have a pre- judice against rost of them. But candor com- oe usto invite attention to the advertisement of tofessor Wood's Hair Restorative. We are too juvenile to require anything of the kind, butsome instances of its use have come to our knowledge Which almost assures us that it is a sovereign remedy against the hair becoming premature! y gray. Itis not a ‘‘ Hair Dye,” but upon its ap- peperng: as directed, the effect is produced upon he skin, which brings out the original colored hair, without stiffness, and gives it a glossy and pail 9 rance. We have seen persons who have u t, and are much pleased with it bx- amine the adyertisement co Misseurs Republican. O.
