The wigs' that are worn now are worn only for a legitimate end, to protect the head from cold when the natural covering is wanting, or in some way to subserve the purposes of health and comfort.

If allowed to stand in the place where God put It, It is erect, shell shaped, almost transparent, and delicately beautiful. But Satan has defiled the earth, aud pot his mark on the moet beantiful aud enduring things. It has been a custom in all ages for stock-growers to put the ntork ot their ownership on the ears of their animals, and the Beast, very early in the history of the world, soon after Eve was driven out of Eden, managed to put bis mark on the ears of woman. We read that wlicu Jacob went up with his household to Bethel, to baild an altar unto God, that at his commaud “they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods that were in their hands, ami all the ear rings which were in their ears, and Jacob bid them under the oak which was by Shechem.'* - The controversy thus successfully inaugurated by Jacob, 61A years years after the flood, against this Satanic and barbarous custom, baa been kept np till the present day. But Satan still holds womeu by the ears, and the more degraded and besotted a nation or a tribe, the heavier the badges of his power in the ears of their women. This relic of barbarism has come down to us, and many of our women bear the marks of the Beast and display the badges of his ownership; aad their ears, the perfect and beau tifhl creation of the Divine hand, are pierced, sad mangled, and drag ged oat of shape, and despoiled of their beauty.
