I’VARD’S VEGETABLE HAIR OIL.
g.‘ HIS Oil possesses the pcciiliar property st
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 izs
nourishing properties, which it readily impar;s
to the roots of the hair, that it requires btit a
shorttiine to produce a new growth, and but few
applications to check that falling of the hair,
which so often occurs, especially after 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
prplferable to any other for perfuming, curling
an glosstngt e iair.
Ladies and gentlemen of the highest rank
have patronized this oil very extensively ; and
such has been its effects inevery country where
it has been introduced, that it receives the
decided preference. _ _

the President Adams intimated to him their
intentions: “IVe must have your name if
you will "permit us to use it. There will be
more efficiency in it than in many an army.”
Before receiving any reply, the President
had nominated him Commander-in-chief of
the armies of the United States. It. was
unanimously confirmed on the 3d of July,
1798. From this time to the close of ex-
istence, Washington busicd himself in mili-
tary matters, and in supplying from his veter-
an experience inforination to his raw re-
cruits. France, however, never seriously
contemplated the invasion of America from
the moment she saw the nation bestiring
herself. Bonaparte then came into power,
and settled all matters with America ainica-
bly.
This adjustment of differences, however,
Washington never lived to witness, dying in
command ofthe at-my destinctl to operate a-

MISCELLANY.
OPINION OF GEN. VVASHINGTON IN
ENGLAND.
The following is the conclusion ofa long and
interesting article in the Oociober number ofthe
London Foreign Quarterly R-._-view, being a re-
view of Sparks’ Life of \V_flSlllllgl0n, just re-
ceived in this country. It will exhibit to our
readers the opinioti ofan able English writer of
him who w.-is “jirsf in wanfirsr. in peace, and
firs! in the hearts of/zis countrymen.”
“I-Iis administration has never been equal-
ed by. succeeding Presidents. Credit was
restored, the national debt secured, and
means. for its ultimate payment provided;
comtnerce prodigtously increased; tonnage
in American ports doubled; imports and ex-
ports both augmented; a larger__ revenue pro-
duced than had been calculated on; the In-
dian War terminated; foreign treaties all
honorable and advantageous to American in-
terests, ratified. . Even the election of his
successor, Adams, a federalist, like himself,
proved the magic ofthe name and measures
of Washington. . He retired to his. beloved
Mount Vernon, but he was not even then to
bid adieu, even at sixty five, to the arduous
tions with foreign nations.
attack that I should not survive it. My
breath cannot last long.” He thanked the
physicians for their kindness, and requested
il]r‘t’tl to give themselves no further trouble,
but to let him die quietly. He kept sinking
1: l‘:t.’ll.1?llly, and almost the instant before dis-
His counten-
ance then underwent a change. His hand
dropped from his wrist, and he expire ~.——
His country paid to his memory, all that then
remained to her of her \Vasl1ington—every
possible tribute of gratitude and afi'ection.—-
Francc, then a republic also paid due honors
to the republican chief; and England, as far
as the example of Lord l3i'ideport, then com-
manding the fleet, may be given in proof,ten-
dcrlcd a sincerer tribute still, by lowering
her flag half mast on the news of Washing-
ton’s deeease. He had commanded during
life the applause of many distinguished men.
Fox and Erskine may be adduced among
others. The former said of him, “notwith-
standing his extraordinary talent and exalt-
ed integrity, it must be considered as singu-
larly unfortunate, that he should have expe-
rienced a. lot which so seldom fall to the por-
tion of huniaiiity, and have passed through
such a variety of scenes without reproach.-
It nittst indeed create astonishment that placed
in circumstances so critical, and filling for a
series of years a station so conspicuous, his
character should never have been called in
question ; that he should in no oneinstance,
have been accused either of improper inso-
lenee or of mean submission in his transac-
To him it was
reserved to run the race ofglory ivithout ex-
periencing the smallest interruption in the
brilliancy of his career.”
Erskine wrote to VVashington as follows:
“I have taken the liberty to introduce
your august and immortal name in a short
sentence, which will be_ found in the book I
send you. I have a large acquaintance a-
inong the most valuable and exalted class of
men but you are the only human being for
whom I have felt an awful reverence. I
sincerely pray God to grant a long and se-
rene evening to a life so gloriously devoted
to the universal happiness of the world."
Washington certainly combined materials
that wonderfully fitted him for the position
he had to occupy. As a leader he appears
calm, calculating, brave as his own sword,
yet free from thegeneral accompaniment of
personal bravery--reckless hardihood. It is
possible that all this might not have told in
a wider scene of action, and his mind cer-
teinly does no seem to have possessed so
much reach as many men of inferior note
have shown ; but nature had well tiiixed in-
gredients in her cauldron when he was
formed, and, taken in a whole, his powers
must be considered large. As a writer, his
style is greatly defective in succinctnessand
elegance and coherence of sentences; but a
finebroad line of common sense and judi-
cious reasoning is discernable throughout all
he ivrote. There are strong affinities of
character and disposition . between him and
Scott; yet was be neither imaginative or loyal,
like that distinguished writer. Still, in the
gentle placidity of their natures, there is a
wonderous reseuiblance. They did not
think alikeon many subjects, save on the
immutable forms of _moral law, on which
they were both agreed, and of which they
were punctually observant. Probably the
Bard of Cavaliers might not have consider-
ed this comparison complimentary, but a re-
semblance there ‘is both in habits [intellect
and piety. _ On this latter point we think-it
fitting to say a few words. Washington ne-
ver appears, in the latter years of his life, to
have taken the sacrament of the Lord's Sup-
per, though a constant attendant at Church,
and always advocating thecause of religion
We are inclined to think that he was rather‘
a -_latitt_tdi.narian in his religious notions ;'
‘since it is difficult to conceive a’ Church-
mfm. when (lying, not outivardly testifying
his fault, and uttering prayers for his soul,_
Possible the character of Washington led
him to much internal musing and inward
untraced supplication of God. His charac-
ter possessed great moral goodness, his life
was free from reproach. Vt-. his external devo-
tions were constant. Still it is difficuft to
reconcile such a death with the holy and en-
nobling hopes of Christianity.
. Something of such a system, it held deep
at the heart, must have evinced itself. We do
not say this reproachfully over" the \vnrrior’s
bier, but to us it would have been most satis-
sactory, and to the world more strongly evi-
dential of a firm indwelling hope, had there
been even a slight dévclopnient of the holy
bodeutcnts of futurity. Still, in the duties of
his public station in his charity to the poor,
in the constant ascription of all his successes
to the Divine Being, in the offices of son,
husband. and brother, in his warm and gen-
erous friendship to his military associates,
especially La Fayette, in his love to his
country,-there are no points of reproach, but
in all these offices he appears to merit the
highest commendation. “ Non omnia pos-
sumus omnes.” A
In this combination of qualities is to be
found the power of Washington. On him
iveconclude our remarks, in the language of
his last biographer: ‘ ‘
“ It is the harmonious union of his intel-
lectual and moral powers, rather than the
splendor of any one trait, which constitutes
the gratfdeur of his character. If the title
of great man ought to be reserved for him
or a vice, who spent his life in establishing
the independence," the glory, and durable
prosperity of his country, who succeeded in
all he undertook, and whose successes were
never won at the expense of honor, justice,
integrity, or by the sacrifice ofa single prin-
ciple, this title will not be denied to Wash-
ington.”
The laborous and accurate work, to which
the life we have reviewed, is prefixed, we are
happy to learn, has been extremely success-
fnl in America. It is sterotyped, and more
than 6000 comp_lete sets have been already
sold. It is still selling with considerable
brisknessin the Southern and ‘Nestern States,
where literature permates with slower course
than those bordering on the Atlantic,by reas-
on of the distance from Boston, the place of
publica‘.-fion,.t1nd' the difficulties of convey-
ance. In the remaining "eleven volumes
Mr. Sparks has adopted an arrangerrient of
the multifarious materials into five parts; the
first. embracing officjal letters relating to the
French War, and private ‘correspondence be-
fore the American Revolution, from 1754 to
1755, two volumes, second, correspondence.
and miscellaneous papers relating to the A-
merican Revolution, from June 1775 to 1783,
six volumes; third, private letters from the
time Washington resigned his commission
as Commander-in-chief of the army to his
first Presidency, from 1783 to 1798, one
vol.; fourth, letters official and private from
the beginning of his Presidency to the end of
his life, from 1789 to 1794, two volumes;
fifth, speeches and messages to Congress,
proclamations and addresses, one vol. ; la-
borious indicesfollow. If Washington has
not found a Hotner to give to actual exploits
ideal glory, he has at least obtained a faithful
and affectionate biographer, who has given
him to the world as he was, and few are the
spirits that could have so well withstood its
scrutiny, or have less needed fiction to em-
belish them. Vlfhether we look on the pri-
vate correspondence or the public docurtients
of VVashington, he appears (reserving the
question ofhisallegiancetotheBi'itishCi'own)
to merit equally the position be attained.-
To his biographer it must have been deeply
gratifying to trace his writings "no line
of which, dying, he might wish to blot ;” in
his actions no moral intemperance, to be ex-
tenuated or defended by. the force ofcircum-
stances; but a singular fat_inl=t_lessness, a won-
drous freedom from allythe "vices that have
stained, degraded, and dimmed the lustre of
many a helmed chief, many a crowned king,
and many a mitred sovereign.
*The reviewer iscertainly wrong here. There
is abundant proofs that Washington was not a
latitudinarian in his opinion's,.and much reason
to think that he was a believer in the best
sense ofthe word. lfa man lives the life of a
christain, it is not of much importance whether
he dies in estacy or in calm.
Cu.-rious Definition of a Kiss.-Extract
from a love-letter, written in the year 1679,
translated from the German. ,
“What is a kiss? A kiss is, as it were,
a seal expressing our sincere attachment; the
pledge of our future union; a dumb, but at
the same time an able language of the liv-
ing heart, a present, which at the same time
it is giving, is taken from us; the impres-
sion of an ardent attachment on an ivory co_-
ral press; the striking of two flints against
one another, a crimson balsam for a love-
wounded heart; a sweet bite of the lip; an
affectionate pinching of the mouth; a deli-
cious dish which is eaten with scarlet spoon";
a sweetmeat which does not satisfy hunger,
a fruit which is planted and gathered at the
same time; the quickest exchange/of ques-
tion and answers of two lovers; the fourth
degree of love. “ '
Woman ! woman l truly she is a miracle,
—--Place her amid flowers-foster her as a ten-
der plant, and she is a thing of fancy, way
wardnessyand-. sometimes of - folly;-annoyed
by a dew-drop, fretted by. the touch of a but-
terfly’s wing; ready to faint at the rustle of
showers too heavy, and she is overpowered
by the perfume of the rose-bud. But let
real calamity come to reuse her affections,
enkindle the fires of her heart, and mark
her then. How her heart strengthens it-
self-\1ioiv strong its pui'pose.=:. Place -her
in the haatof battle, give her a chi:;l,ga bird,
or any thing she loves or pitics, to protect,
and see her, as in a recorded instance, rais-
ing her arms asa shield, and as her own
blood crimsons her upturried forehead, pray-
ing for life to protect the helpless.
Transplant her into the tlarl: places of
the earth, awaken her energies to action, and
her breath becomes healing, her presence a
blessing; she disputes tbestridc ofthe stalking
pestilence, when man, the strong and brave,
shrinks away pale and affrightetl. Misfor-
tune daunts her not; she wears away a life
of silent eudnrcnce, or goes for‘:-.'ard to the
scaffold. with less ttmidity than to her bridal.
In prosperity she is a bun’ full of imprisoned
odors, waiting but for the winds of adversity
to scatter them abroad-—pure gold, valuable,
but untried in the furnace. -fu short, it we-
man is a miracle, a mystery.”
Crattberrics.--\Vitliin a few years the c:il-
ture,of cranberries, of which great ','1:.tntitic3
are now annually consumed at home or ex-
ported, has attracted much attention in the
New-England States, and become a source
of great profit in districts where grain crops
are unproductive. Barnstablc, Massachu-
setts, and Manchester, New-Hamshire, are
celebrated for the extent and excellence ofthe
supplies they furnish. A farmer in Mendon,
Mass., gathered last year one thousand three
hundred bushels from six acres, which he
sold at the low price of fifty cents per pushel.
He had previously bought the land for ill?
an acre; thus realizing more than 900 per
cent. in one year, on its cost, with no expense
of culture, and not much harvesting. So
important is the cranberry crop considered
in Barnstable. that the berries growing on
the town lands are subject to municipal reg-
ulation; and the gathering prohibited until
they are ripe, and a day is appointed by the
Selectmen. Wet, boggy tneadowrs. that
were formerly considered almost. worthless
have now, where overrun with the cranber-
ry vin‘e, acquired a great value. They usual-
ly yield one hundred bushels to the acre, of
which the average price may be considered
$150. ‘
That alters the case.—Timothy _Wood-
sum was a good husband, but his wife was
hypocondriacal. One day she called him to
her bedside, to see her die. Timothy, with
a long face, told her he had been thinking
that the children must have somebody to
bring lhcm- up,-and that he had thought oil

Steam Fire En.r,rine.—-The Mechanics In.
stitute, N. Y_., gltiring the prevalence of in-
cendiarism last winter. passed a resolution
awarding a gold medal for the best plan ofa
steatn fire engine. The medal was last week
presented to Capt. J. Errickson, for his plan
out of four submitted. The successful plan
is that of an engine weighing less than 2;}
tons, and that with the lowest estimated speed
has a power of 108 men, and will throw 3.-
000 lbs. of water per minute to a height of
105 feet, through a nozzle of 1.5- inches di-
ameter. By increasing the speed to the
greatest limit easily and safely attainable, the
quantity of water thrown may be much aug-
mented. The Tattler says the machine is the
most simple in construction ever modeled.
The absence of any rotary motion relieves
the necessity of much of the apparatus pecu-
liar to steam engines. The motion of the
wheels in going to a fire, communicates mo-', .
tion to bellows which give an artificial draft ;.
so that in ten minues from the time the torch
is applied to the fuel, the steam is up, and the
engine ready for work. .-
Confessions of a wealthy Loco Foco.——A
few days since we met an old acquaintance
who had formerly been a strong I/Vhig, but
said he turned Locofoco. [On our express.
ing our surprise, he gave his reasons in sub-
stance as follows :—-“ You,” know said he, “I
am a large manufacturer, and employ a great
number of hands. Formerly, I-had to pay
them one or two dollars a day. and then they
prescribed their own hours and rules. Now
I hire these .very men at 50 to75 centsa day,
and I regulate the hours and rules.' - Then
they were independent, and Would‘ Work
or not as best suited their purpose. Now
they are compelled to work or starve, and
are as humble and thankful as possible. By
thisireduction of wageswhich falls exclusive-
ly on them, I save,” said he " eleven hun-
dred dollars a month, which in a year is
twelve thousand two hundred dollars. . The
articles I manufacture sell as high as ever.
Now,” said he, '_‘ I.like the doctrine. M

as we can relate it, Itis: .made by oneflong,
