Come to Mc "0, whon wilt Thoa como unto me?" [Psalm 101:2. Como to mo, Lord, when ?rst I wake AB tho faint lights of morning break; Bid purest thoughts within me riso, Liko crystal dow-dropa in tho skies. Come to me in tho sultry noon Or earth's low commumngs will soon Of Thy dear face eclipse tho light. And chango my fairest day to night. Come to me in tho evening shade And if my heart from Thee hath strayed, O, bring it back, and from afar, j Smile on mo like Thine evening star. Come to me in tho midnight hour Whon sleep withholds her balmy power; Let my lone spirit find its rest? , Liko John, upon my Saviour's breast. Come to me through lifo's varied way Ami when its pulses cease to play, Then, Saviour! bid me como to Thoe, That whero Thou art Thy ohild may bo. Fashions ?nd Follies of Hair. "A woman's glory is her hair," baa been often quoted. If it be, sho is determined to dim it in these days of artificiality and fashionable folly. Now she twists not only her own hair, but as much as she can purchase, into tho most unseemly and grotesque shapes, marring, as with premedi? tated bad taste, every graceful curve and every Une of beauty. A fashion? able woman's head at present is a wonder of unsightliness. One would not think so many of tho sex could, without positive genius for the hide? ous, so deform themselves as they do in a single sitting. They rise in tho morning and go from the bath comely and dmr ming as nature created them. They appear two hours after, fresh from tho hands of their maids or their own manipulations, elaborately wrought out of all symmetry ana attractiveness, especially in regard to their hair. Ingenuity appears to have been ex? hausted, of late years, to make a wo? man's hair look like anything else to give her head a size, and form, and proportion, little less than repulsive. Curls, crimps, bands, waterfalls, and we know not what, vie with each other in destroying tho fairsemblanco of the human head. Tho moro homely a fash ion, the moro likely it is to be a favorite. The moro unbecoming, the moro apt it is to endure. One cannot go into a company that pretends to be elegant, without having his eyes ?tuned by the uncouthness of tho i air dressing and the distortion of all that good taste would suggest. He is reminded of stage goblins, or of his childish notions of the monsters of tho Arabian tales. Oh! for a few bravo, sensible women, who would dare to bo natural, dare to defy the dictates of fashion, when fashion arrays itself against simplicity,'fitness and grace. Those few who could reform the foibles and insanities of dress. What they did, others would be bold to do, and the reign of rea? son and beauty would begin again. The present style of wearing tho waterfall on top of the head-it was bad enough behind it-is simply a deformity. It destroys the propor? tion of the head; is an excrescence that no one can keep from desiring to remove, even by violence. A wo? man might as well have a bump on her back, or walk on stilts, as it is said she did in the early days of Ve? nice, or cover one of her soft cheeks with a black plaster, or wear rings in her nose. But she will not believe it; for no woman would conscien? tiously mar her beauty, or diminish the grace she has inherited. Who does not long for the simple arrange mont of the hair, os we see it in Gre? cian statues, plainly put back from the face, or falling over tho ears and cheek, with a neat coil behind, or a braid, if variety bo needed. No woman hos a right to spoil her appearance for fashion's sake. She owes moro to beauty and to nature than to tho mantna-maker or to ca? price; and we must bolievo the time will como when the really fine woman will consider carefully the extent and sacredness of her debt, and discharge it conscientiously and religiously. [New York O cue ti e. THB FASHION OF NO CRINOLINE. Tho Paris correspondent of the Chicago Republican, writes as follows concerning a matter which will bo of interest to our lady readers. Speak? ing of the court ball, ho says: "Not a crinoline was to be seen. These articles have gone entirely out of fashion. The most remarkable toiletto was that of a Kassian lady, who wore a gray silk with a train threo yards long, covered with silvor tulle, loop? ed up with a wreath of natural tea roses. Tho corsago was nearly im? perceptible, except when tho dia? monds gleamed; and a bird of Para? dise perched upon her head, attached by a diamond, from which dropped tho long plume upon her shoulders. The Garden of Plants, Paris, now possesses a beaver from Canada, to which comfortable quarters have been assigned on tho banks of tho rivulet which intersects a part of tho mena? gerie. Desirous of meeting tho wisher, of tho now comer in every possiblo respect, tho administration had provided a hut for it; but the Canadian stranger, having inspected tho premises and not found them to his tasto, has pulled them down, and, with tho materials, built up a new mansion in his own way, using his tail both as a trowel and hammer. A Western shoe-maker advertises for "a femalo who has a knowledge of fitting boots with a good moral character." ??i TUB ?TAHKKE.-Admirai femmes, of the Memphis Bulletin, draws tho following lively piotnre of the Yankee race: "The individual energy, industry and enterprise of this r markable race is equally astonishing. They construct tho longest railroads, dig the deepest canals, and build the finest ships of any people in the world. When we were afloat in tho Alabama, endeavoring to prevent these iconoclasts from pulling down the idol of government which they had so recently set up, if we wero in1 doubt as to tho nationality of any ship we were pursuing, wo had only to take a good look at her, at what? ever distance she might be, through our telescope, to determine at once whether she was Yankee or not. If she excelled- the ships of all other nations in the symmetry of her hull, tho length, the grace, and the taper of j her spars; if her canvass was whiter, her sails larger, moro beautifully set, and 'sheeted home,' and hoisted in a more seaman-like manner; if, in short, like a beautiful woman, she ravished tho beholder as well by the swelling and graceful out? lines of her figure, as by tho I witchery of her drapery, we were always sure she was Yankee. What is it that the Yankee cannot do? And whether ho can do it or | not, what is it that he will not at? tempt? He has recently invaded the | Holy Land, intent upon uprooting the Turk and getting possession of tho holy sepulchre. The S ulta a had better look out for himself. If he, permits tho cockatrice's egg to hatch he is gono. The Yankee will steal his very yatagan and turban, and swear they are his own." The Banner office bas four female compositors-the old Banner woman, and threo daughters-Annie, Beckie and Mollie-who do all tho house work, and then set an aggregate of 10,000 ems of typo per doy. If any printing office in this United States can beat this, wo would like for them to turn them loose. The Banner family aro compositors-only seven in number, and six type-stickers, and tho baby, only nine years old-knows nil the technicaltios of a printing office-"quads," "lenas," "quoins, &c, are familiar terms with her. If | any printing office in the world, num? bering tho same in family, can beat this, wo would liko to hear from them. Wo don't think it can bo did. [Cleveland (Tenn.) Banner. At tho last ball at the Tuileries, the coiffure of her Majesty was particu? larly remarked as being n reminis? cence of the famous regent period. Tho Empress wore a number of raro black diamonds, which, at the pre? sent moment, aro highly esteemed and much Bought after-very large prices being paid for this rare gem.

April 2_6 HEINITSH'S CELEBRATED HERMAS HORSE POWDER ! For all Diseases to which a Horse is Liable. THE various diseases to which that no? ble and useful animal, tho horse, is subject, and tho little, knowlcdgo that is known of thom by farriers and ignorant ostlers, have occasioned many remedies to bo offored to tho public under different forms, with high encomiums, and sanc? tioned by dignified names. Somo of these aro injurious; others, at best, of little uso, and many entirely worthless, and do not moot the want. A good medicine, freo from objections of this kind, has long been desired hy many gentlomcn who have va? luable horses, wc therefore offer tho only food medicine-tho trno "GERMAN IORSE rOWDER." which has proved so efficacious in all tho diseases. It is pre? pared from the original recipe of Dr. Hei nitsh, of Gormany. Its extraordinary vir? tues are attested to by thousands, and for fifty years has stood, and still stands, first in thc estimation of all experienced farm? ers and agriculturists as the best medicino for tho horso. It is recommended for horses foundered by eating to excess or drinking cold water when heated, to such as havo symptoms of flanders or aro ex ?)osod to tho infection by being with other ?orscs, for indigestion, distemper, hide? bound, drowsiness, loss of appetite, inward sprains, debility, wasting of flesh, sore oves, swelled legs, grease, mange, surfeit, old coughs, for exhaustion from work. It carries off all foul humors, purifies and cools tho blood, and prevents hornet) be? coming stiff and foundered. It is a stimu? lus for weak stomachs, and renders tho limbs and skin soft and lino, giving a smooth coat to tho hair. Ask for "Hci nitsh's German Horso Powder."
