Education a Necessity,'
Ilis'ory is said to lie philosophy

scutching I ho annals ol' the past thai
wo obtain information needful forotii
guidance in the present. 1 he lira I
object that meets' tlie eye of the read
er of history a re. the two great nation',
Orceee. ami R ime, wlio.se national
character, institutions, language and
lilterature, speak to us volumes o:
truth ami wisdom. No nations be-1
lore or since ever rose to such a pilch j
of greatness, none ever fell so low.
And , il is a nattVrai curiosity lo in- j
quire what led to lliesa stuhlen falls.;
The fall of Greece was tintlonbtedly
owing to the many different petty |
kingdoms of which ahc was composed.
There was no unity of feeling, .senti
ment or interests, having an undis
guised contempt for barbarians, ex
eluding all foreigners from her shores,
and hence by her own hands she fell,
ilusl the opposite was her conqueror,

in the administration of public allairs

Gibbon dales his '?Decline and Kail
qf the Roman Knipite" from this.
Studying her history closely light

her fall was owing to Ihe fuel lliai
she allowed this heterogeneous mass
of. people lo conic in andshaic the
blessings of her rule without I ein;.:

lirigh to make. What would have
been Ihe result ii those thousands of
foreigners had I hey been educated,
menially and morallv to the highest.

of foreigners, but to theii being unedu

FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
It is a most agreeable ilr? sslng, which
is at once harmless an<l effectual, f- >r
preserving the hair. It restores, with
the glo 3 ahtl freshness of youth, faded or
gray, light, and n d hair, to a rich brown,
or deep black, as may be des trod. By i's
use thin hair is tlilckciic.L and baldness
often though hot always .cured. It
cheeks falling of the hair immediately,
and caus. s a new growth in all cases
where the glands are not decayed: while
to brashy, weak, or otherwise diseased
hair, it impart:? vitality and strength,
and renders it pliable.
The Vioon cleanses the scalp, cures
and prevents the formation of dandruff;
and, by its cooling, stimulating, and
soothing properties, it heals most if not
all of the humors and diseases peculiar
to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and
soft, under which conditions diseases of
the scalp and hair are impossible.
As a. Dressing for Licidios' Hair,
The Vioon is incomparable. It is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and
will not soil white cambric. It Imparts
an agreeable and lasting perfume, and
as an article for the toilet it is economi
cal ami unsurpassed in its excellence.
