So far as-the general public is oou-
oerned, the conventional wig has dis
appeared from the head of the male.
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.
Will the whirligig of time ever
again restore the despotism of the
wig! Shall we ever again be guilty
of the absurdity of cutting off our

thirty or forty, guineas for the right
to wear that of aaother person 9

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.
