The general character of life if that
of monotony. Whether we regard toe
life of man, or the life of beasts we are struck, by the same remarkable fact, that life, to all outward appearance, is a monotonous succession of scenes and
movements but all incidental. We
wonder how the interest is kept up.
But we never tire of going to bed at
night, and we are very sorry when we tire of getting up in the morning. We
never weary, except with regret, of
breakfasting, dining and supping; and vat these actions are repeated inces
santly three hundred and sixty-five times in the year, with renewed excitement on every succeeding occasion. We take off oar elothea once every day,
and put them on once every day. We 4o this at nearly the same hour, in daily succession; and when health is good the pleasure derived from so doing Is not marred by the repetition of the act;
for the ebbing and the flowing of our
bodily sensations prepare us, without
any effort on our part, for all the vicissitudes of our existence. When hun
gry, food is agreeable; when weary, sleep or rest is a treat; when warm, cool air is refreshing; when cold, the pleasure derived from a cheerful are is delicious. The excitement is kept up by contrasts; and we purchase tt: e enjoyment of one feeling by encouraging the reverse. With health, and youth, and prosperity we should never be weary. It is age, and weakness, and poverty that prepares tie for death; and eveo that comes easy upon most men, at last, like a sleep, and the heaviness of the heart gives even the last sleep a

One may feel that he'a getting old, hat he naturally dislikes that anything about hii appearance should ad viae ether of the fact. Yet nothing does Una so effectually as this aad falling hair. He woman wants to marry a man, and business arms hesitate to employ a man, who shews this fatal sign. - Barkers Hair Balsam is worth yon, in this regard, more than its weight is diamonds. Use it, and have plentiful and glossy hair. Many have had every trace of grayneas removed aad bald spots eovered by using a single bottle.
