EVENING STAR. AN AMERICAN FOREST SONG. BY ALFRED B. STREET. Now fluttering breeze, now stormy blast, Mild rain, then blustering snow— Winter’s stern, fettering cold is passed, But, sweet Spring, where art thou? The white cloud floats ’mid smiling blue, The broad bright sunshine’s golden hue Bathes the still frozen earth; *Tis changed !— above, black vapors roll— We turn from our expected stroll, And seek the blazing hearth. Hark !—that sweet carol—with delight We leave the stiffing room,— The iittle blue. bird meets our sight— Spring, glorious Spring has come! ‘The south-wind’s balm is in the air, Tre melting snow wreaths everywhere Are leaping off in showers ; And Nature, in her brightening lcoks Tells that her flowers and leaves and brooks And birds will soon be ours. A few soft sunny days have shone, The air has lost its chill, A bright green tinge succeeds the brown Upon the southern hill Of to the woods—a pleasant scene; Here sprouts the fresh young wintergreen, There swells a mossy mound ; Thongh in the bellow drifts are piled, ‘The wandering wind {s sweet and mild, And buds are bursting you. d. Where its long rings uncurls the fern, ‘The violent, nes: ng low, Casts back the white lid of its urn, Its purple streaks to show - Beautiful blossom ' first to rise And smile beneath = °s weakening skies. ‘The courier of the oe of gear flowers,—what feelings sweet Gusb as the silvery gem we meet Upon its slender wand! ‘Warmer is each successive sky, More soft the breezes p*ss: The maple’s gems of crimson lie Upon the thick green grass ‘The dogwood sheds its clusters white, The birch has dropped its tassels slight, Cowelips are round the rill ; The thresher whistles in the glen, Plu‘ters around the warb!ing wrea, And swamps have voices shrill. A simultaneous burst of leaves Has c othed the forest now; A single day’s bright sunshine weares This vivit, b apad pete show Masses of shade are cast beneeth, ‘The flowers are spread in varied wreath, Night brings its soft, sweet moon; Mora wakes in mist, and twilight gray Weeps its bright dew, and siniling May Meits into biooming June’ ————— ABRIVALS AT PRINCIPAL HOTELS Willards’ Hetel—-i.9.& m.4. withan> W_B Glencoe, Mass RN Perlee & ly, Mass J Traveler, NY Hon A De Witt, do DE Lemeke, do B E Bates, do CC Beck, Va G W Bentley, do A Seevers W W Derby, do P J Stevens, NY BC Wandeil, NY © P Dixon, do R L Darragh, do JE Wright, Mass 8 G Withers, do J Monkur, Md W Mendenhall, Ind W M Tallay, do JC Tennison, Va ED Crame, NY W Downs & ly, Md J Gelston & ly, do S J Shomaker, do M Russell, Pa T P Lancaster.

Success to the genius whose tonic we say, ‘urns back to its color the Hair that was gray. SOMETHING WOKTH ENOWING !—By using Professor Wood’s Halr Restorative, gray haircan be permanently restored to {its original color. ‘The subjoined certificate was received 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 is no longer problematical, but a self-evident truth, as hundreds of our community can testify. —Bos- ton Hesaid. GaRvner, Me, June 22, 1852 Ma. H. Drxs—Dear Sir: I have used two bot- tles of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, and can truly say it isthe 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 Yoursrespectfully, DAN’L N. MURPHY Carty, Il., June 27, 1853. Ihave used Prof. O J. Woods Hair Restora tive, and have admired its wonderful effect. My hair was becoming, as 1 thought, prematurely gray; but by the use of the ‘‘ Restorative’? it has resumied its original color, and, I have no doubt, permanently so SIDNEY BREESE, Bx-Senator United States. HAIR RESTORATIVE .—1a ourcolumns to- day will be found Prof. Wood’s advertisement of the above article, to which we call attention. What it has done, we have witnessed upon sev- eral of ouracquaintances in St Louis. Hair once gray met our view, black or brown as the case malent 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, wiil 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. §, 1853. THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.—It seldom occurs that we notice, under any circumstances, patent medicines, restora lives, or anything of the kind, for we have a pre- judice against most of them. But candor com- nee usto invite attention to the advertisement ef rofessor Wood's Hair Restorative. We are too ekerlod 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 prematurely gray. Itis not a ‘‘ Hair Dye,’’ but upon its ap- ae as directed, the effect is preduced upon he skin, which brings out the original colored hair, without stiffness, and gives jt a glossy and natural a) ince.
