T HIS Oil possesses the peculiar property sr. long. but vainly sought for in other vege: able oils, that of reproducing a new growth oi hair on heads totally bald. So great are its nourishing properties, which it readily imparzs to the roots of the hair, that it requires but a short time to produce a new growth, and but few applications to check that falling of the hair, which so often occurs, especially al'ier sickness. It prevents the hair turning grey, and when it begins to turn, may be easily checked and re- stored to its natural beauty by applying the oil. This oil gives an agreeable fragrance, and. is preferable to any other for performing, curling and glossing the hair. Ladies and gentlemen of the highest rank have patronized this oil very extensively ; and such has been its effects in every country where it has been introduced, that it receives the decided preference. _ _ From the Royal College of P/z._i/swans. H.tv.iNA, Feb. 20, 1833. Dr. E. A. Ward, having proved to this Royal Tribunal that the Vegetable Oil, of his compo- sition, has the property ofcausing the growth of hair, and preventing its fall, by fortifying the decayed part, (the effect ofaromatic ingredients which have been found in its composition by the chemist Dori Francisco Suarez) we hereby re- commend its use, not as a specific, but as a good and useful remedy for persons repuiriog it, whose hair is in a state of decay from sickness or other causes.

The above testimonial of the efficacy and val- us of Ward's Vegetable Hair Oil, was given the proprietor by the Royal Academy of Physicians in Havana; to those who are acquainted with the extreme rigirlness of the medical police of Ha- vana, it speaks volumes-it is conclusive.

Oh! had I known the boon I crav’d, How near the days to C0ll‘.6, How chccrless the existence sav‘d, I would have hail’d the tomb. One final pang and I had slept _ Upon the bed of rest, - The friendsl lov’d had watch’d and wept,‘ And I been with the blest, And now I live to stand alone Upon a barren shore, And see each dear and valtied one Depart, to come no more. Look at you wiiher’d plant, no more It charms ihesiracge.r's eye; Yet goodly blossoms once it bore. ’ Though strew’d around they lie. The young and gay pass idly by. And turn their hfiads aside; The parent tree hangs dioopingly. No more the garden's pride. My fate there read—It is in vain You bid me cease to mourn; You say that plant will bloom again, That Spring will soon return. The Spring will come, the tear will dry, When broketi life's dull chain ; So in the earth that plant must lie, Ere it shall bloom again. MISCELLANY. INDIAN CHARACTER. A SKETCH. One afternoon in the spring of 1828, a young Indian, named Mickenock, of the Ot- tawri tribe on the cast of Lake Michigan, having indulged too freely in the use of the fire drink, commenced a quarrel with, and finally stabbed to the heart, a son of one of the chiefs. Knowing that he must suffer death by the hands of some one of the fami- ly, whose relative he had killed, he imme- diatcly collected hisiown fnmily and fled in- to the woods The chief and his sons at once conimencedjsearch for the murderer--no pains or toil were spared to ferret out the hi- ding place of the unfortunate and guilty Mickenock; but the summer passed, the leaves began to fall, and no trace could be found of the murderer: almost in despair, the old chief, burning to avenge the death of his son, looked about for some relative of Mickenock tipon whom he could satisfy this darling desire of the Indian heart; but no one could be found; all the family and blood relatives of Mickenock were with him in his hiding-‘place. Despairing at length ei- ther of finding his enemyor avenging himself ttpon any of the blood relations, the chief de- termined to avail himself of the privilege al- lowed by Indian custom, and to avenge him- self upon one of the relatives of the wife of the murderer. Mickenock, although effect- ually concealed from the old chief, was nev- ertheless conversant through some of his friends, of all that was transpiring in the chief’s wigwam; and so soon as he learned the chief’s deterrnination to avenge his son’s death upon one of his wife’s relatives, he im- mediately sent in word to the old chiefs wig- wam, thatupon the day ofthe meeting ofthe great Council, which was then soon to be held, he would deliver himself up to atone for the life of his son. The chief received the information with evident gratification. A few weeks passed away,the great lodge was erected, and the Council at length as- sembled. The chief communicated the in- telligencc which he had received from his son's murderer,and it was agreed that no bu- siness should be transacted until Mickenock should appear. The Council sat in silence until about twelve o’clock, when suddenly the brave Mickenock bounded into the midst of the Council, calmly surveyed the assem- bled chiefs, and sat down in silence in the center of the lodge; his wife and children immediately followed and formed a circle, round him; then taking ottt his flint, he struck a spark, and lighted his pipe, and smoked it in silence; the eyes of all the Council and his little family were fixed in- tensely upon him. At length Mickenock arose and addressing himself to the chief, said, “I killed ’your son, he was a young brave, he did me no wrong, he was my friend, I drank the fire drink, the fire drink made me kill your son, Mickenock is very sorry and deserves to die.” Then turning to the oldest brother of the deceased,he drew a knife from his bosom. “There,” said Mick- enock, " is the knife that drank the heart's blood of,yot1r brother, take it, like ahbrave man avenge your bi'othei"s death.” This brother spat upon his hand, clenched his knife with a death-grasp, and drew up his arm. Mickenock pointing to the spot near- est his heart, gave the word “Strike.” In- stantly the brother" plunged the knifeto the hilt into the bosom of the brave Mickenock, who fell dead at his feet. The wife and children of Mickefiock be- held the whole scene, apparently without moving a muscle; but the moment he ex- pired they all fell upon, and embraced him, with sobs and teai's, and groans and wailings, which cannot be described, and altogether presented a picture of such unfeigned anguish and genuine sorrow as to overcomeand melt every spectator of the scene. After the wife and children of Mickenock had thus express- ed their sorrow for half an hour, the old chiefthus addressed her :—" Wife of Micke- nock, we are satisfied : your husband was a brave man; he died like a brave man- henceforth you are my daughter, and your children are my children; go into my wig- wam, you shall be well treated, and live with meas my daughter; these children‘ shall grow up around me and shall he taught to be brave, like their father. .___;_,;__. __ E.-... A Beautiful Sentiment.-—-Tlie following passage is from Mr. Webster’s speech in Virginia: “ And I cannot find a deeper or more fervent sentiment in my heart, or in _ the heart of any man, than that these institu- tions~—that our glorious form of Govern- ment, with all the countless blessings that are attached thereto, may be transmitted un- impaired to our remotest posterity—-to ter- minatc only when all ‘human institutions ter- ininate—‘-when the world itself shall termin- ate-— When wrapt in fire, therenlms of ether glow, And heaven's last thunders shake the world be- low. _Anec(lole of the Timcs.—\Ve will tell an original anecdote’ ofas much interest as any murder in a Philadelphia Literary VVeekly —-_moi:e, for ours is true. Some hardy rough- skins, from the pine knots up the Allegha- ny, were sauntering tip town, and had their wild unpractised ears arrested by the sounds ofa piano. They could not make it out--.-it was neither jewsharp nor fiddle, yet it.was “ first rate”—and being overcome with curi- osity they all entered (three ofthem) through an open door. In it handsomely finished room, one of our Whig girls was playing and singing a Tippecanoe song. The Moun- tain boys hoped no offence, but wanted to hear her play " on that thing.” ‘'0, yes," said our young belle, with great humor and archuess, “but I can play nothing but Har- rison tiines. Are you for Harrison ?” “Yes, all of us,” said they. And away she went-— ratling off and singing some of her own more favorite I-larrison songs. The lads ap- peared delighted. “ If Jim only heard that, do you think he would vote for Mr. Van Bu- ren .7" said oncto the other. “ Wlic_isJim .7” said our heroine. “ He is a comrade of ours, and a loco democrat, but I think if he had heard that song, it would turn him.” “ Go fetch him,” said she, no way daunted. and the three started off directly and returned with their stubborn and incredtilouscornrade. The younglady had now herambition roused. and the young man being seated, she played and sang some of the most lively and popu- lar Harrison airs, while Jim himself had to join in chorus, thanked the lady, and said he was no longer a Van Buren man, but would go the “ whole figure” for Tippecanoe from this out. They all parted highly pleased. So much for a Pittsburg Vtlhig girl. Pitts-burg American. SHORT BUT GOOD. It may be safely affirmed, that good men generally reap more substantial benefit from their affliction, than had men do from their prosperity; that what they lose in wealth, pleasure or honor, they gain with great ad- vantage in wisdom, and goodness, and tran- quility of mind. Prosperity is not without its troubles, nor adversity without its comforts. Friendship improves happiness and abates misery by doubling our joy, and driving a- way grief. A man may have a. thousand intimate ac- quaintances,and not a friend amongthem all. Ifthou hast one friend, think thyself happy. Gratitude preserves old friends, and pro- cures new ones. It is difficult to act the part of a true friend: for frequently by telling him of his failings, we lose his affection: and by re- maining silent we betray our confidcncc.— Bttt we cannot lose a friend in a more hon- orable way, than in seeking by good will to preserve him. He that is truly polite knows how to con- tradict with respect, and to please without adulation; and is equally remote from insi- pid complaisance and low familiarity. Modesty in your discourse will give a lustre to truth, and an excuse to your er- rors. It is a sign of wisdom to be willing to re- ceive instruction : the most intelligent some- times stand in need of it. Some men extinguish their own genius, by copying and contriving to assume that of others. Too much asservation gives ground for suspicion. Truth and honesty have no need of loud protestations. The greatest wisdom of speech is to know when and what, and. where to speak: the next to it is silence. ' Seasonable Anecdolc.—-A gentleman has told us a little incident which occurred at Canandaigua, N. Y., which is too good to be lost :— A number of travelers had stopped for the night at the stage house of a locofoco mail contractor, who like all the spoilsrneri, was very unreserved in his wholesale abuse of “Granny Harrison”—denouncing him as a coward and a knave. and calling him every thing but what he is. Directly one of the strangers present, who had manifested a. good deal of uneasiness, ap- proached him and inquired if he knew "e- nough about him”—he then asked him if he knew any one who was personally acquaint- ed with him—to which he replied in the negative. “Well” said the traveler, “Iknotv and have known him for a number of years and have resided in his immediate neighbor- hood, and I know him to be an honest, in- telligent and brave man. I, sir, am a sup- porter of the present administration and an oflice-holder under Government. I shall vote for Mr. Van Buren, but it is such unprinci- pled rascals as yourself. and such lies as those you have just uttered, which will, if persisted in, be the means of electing Gen. Harrison to the Presidency.” The effect of this honest rebuke upon the contractor was such as to make him look as cheap as if he had been caught stealing ii. sheep, and the merriment of his. guests was not a little ex- cited. - ' z§..._a9 . _...: . .._-. ....~-_.. ..__. Beauzc of former limes.-—-We question whether the celebrated Benin. Brumrriel, and even the eqtially celebrated Romeo Coates, were not uiere Quakers in their dress, com- pared with some of the distinguished ‘dress- ers ofihe former days. Sir Walter Raleigh were a white satin piiiked vest. close sleeved to the wrist; over the body a brown doub- let, finely flowered and embroidered with pearl. In‘ the feather of his hat, a large ru- by and pearl drop at the bottom of the spring, in place ofa button; his trunk or brecches, with his stockings and ribbon garters, fring- ed at the end, all white; and buffshoes with white ribbon. On great court days his shoes were so gorgeously covered with precious stones as to have exceeded the value of £6,600; and he had it suit ofarmor of solid silver, with a sword and belt blazing with diamonds, rubies and pearls. _:_,King James’ favorite, the Duke of Buckingham, could afford to have his dia- monds tacked so loosely on, _that when he chose to shake a few off on the ground, he obtained all the time he desired from the pickersfup who were general lcs Dames de la Court; for our Duke never condescended to accept what he himself haddropped. His cloaks were trimmed with great diamond hat- bands: cockades, and ear-rings, yoked with great ropes and knots of pearls. He had twenty-seven suits of clothes made, the rich- est that embroidery, lace, silkjvelvet, gold and gems could contribute; one of which was a white unctit velvet, set over both suit and cloak, with diamonds besides a great feather, stuck all over with diamonds. as were also his sword, girdle, hat and spurs. Vllhen the difference in the value of money is con- sidered, the sums tlius ridiculously squan- dered in dress must have been prodigious.

"Mr. Van Buren is a very gentleman-like intelligent man: ~vcr_7/ proud of talking over his visit to England, and the English with whom he was acquainted. It is remarkable that, although at the head of the Democrat- ic party, Mr. Van Buren has taken a step slrilsing at the very roots of their boasted e- quality, and one on which Gen. Jackson did not ?:enlu-re, namely, be prevented the mobo- cracg/, (Democracy) from intrurling them- selves at his levees. The police are now sta- tioned al the door to prevent the intrusion of any improper person. A few years ago. a. fellow would drive his cart or hackney coach up to the door, walk into the saloon in all his dirt, and force his way to the President, that he might shake him by the one hand, whilst he flourished his whip in the other. The revolting scenes which took place when re- freshments were handed around, the injury done to the furniture, and the disgust to the ladies, may be well imagined. Mr. Van Bu- ren deserves great credit for this step. for it was a hold one; but I must not praise him too much, or he may lose his next election."

We do not assert, positively, that the election was carried by the means referred to; but the facts, that their was a heavy increase in the aggregate vote of the district, and that the whole ofthat increase was on the Van. Buren side, are certainly a little suspicious.
