Hair Vigor ,
FOR RESTORING 6RAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY ANO COLOR.
It is a most agreeable dressing, which
is at once harmless and effectual, for pre
serving the hair. It restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. By its use thin
hair is thickened, and baldness often
though not always cured. It checks falling
of the hair immediately, and causes a new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The Vigor 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 coob clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the scalp and
hair are impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair
The Vioor 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 economical and
unsurpassed in its excellence.

Editor Democrat i
Fearing that 1 bad already tresitaas-
od upon your sjaoe by too length of a
former article, I did Riot intend to
trouble you or your readers, further.
But another article from Mr. Stevens
in your issue of throe weeks ago is so
rams rk able for what it covers up, mixes
up, ignores and assumes, and ta so mis
leading in its influence, that it deserves
further aotioa.
He started out to show that the
work of the "Women's Christian Tem
perance Union" is anti Christian, and,
that total abstinence from wine aa a
beverage, is contary to the example of
Christ. And yet, not a scrap of evi
dence baa boas prompted, nor eon 6e,
to show that Christ ever tasted wine,
oi that he commanded its use aa a
beverage, or, that be ever forbade sb-
stitteooe from it. This being so, it is
d illicit It to aaa wherein the work of she
W. a T. U. is in conflict with Christ i
sntty. t'ho ts hindered ut smy thine
good bf the work of that society! It
ts also difbcult to see bow total abeti
nance from intoxicating drinks is con
trary to the example and teaching of
Christ. Who is ever made worse, or
kept bock from sn thing manly sal
noble, by abniiuenoe from intoxicating
drinks! Not a word from the lips ol
the Savior, and only one sot of
hi life can be taken as encouraging
the use of wine of any kind, for any
purpose, except sacramental. True be
tlil turn water into wine, at Catia.
But the reason of that act was undoubt
odly, to show forth bis Almighty pow
er, and not merely to produce wine.
This beginning of miracles did Jesus
in Cana of Galileo, and manifested
forth bis glory." Jo. 2. 11. Having
almighty, creative power, this was a
fit oonMBftoa to show it forth. And, if
be could change the water into wine
be could make it aa good as the best
sud still prevent its having a particle
of intoxicating properties. His whole
character, life, and teaching, clearly
show that bo would bo ojomi to any-
thing dangerous to men.
Great stress is laid by Mr. Stevens
on the fact that the Bible commands
wine, and be writes as though the
word wherever found in the English
Biblo, slwsys meant the same thing
and that it is the soma at the present
day. I cannot road the Hebrew, but
turning to Young's Analytical Concor
dance, one of the beat and latest works
of the age, and one which gives almost
every pMsnsge in the Bible in which the
word wine occurs, 1 find eleven or
twelve words in the original, all trans-
ated wine in the Bible. Mr. Young
defines those words a follows: "A
thick, sticky syrup," "what is pressed
out, grape juice," "A vat or trough'
''Anything mixed "Anything smk
in or up,""A(ripeorrounri)grape,graM4
cake," "Anything pressed on, mead,"
"What satiates, pleases," "What is po
eased, mead, new wine." I have not
given bis definition of all Ike words
used, but enough to show that the
words in the original of the Bible from
which our word wine comes, often
means something very different from
the wines of our day. Some of the
best Bible' scholars of the world have
gone through it, verse by verse, taken
every passage in which the word wine
occurs, and found the meaning of the
original word. They tell us that in
almost, il not in everv instance, where
wine is commended, it is not anything
that could intoxicate, but is either the
grape in ite natural state, or it juice a
dropping from it, or in the vat where
pressed. Among the men who hold
this position 1 might mention Moses
Stuart of Andover, ur, wott oi union
College, Taylor Lewis, and many
others. If I understand hint, Joseph
Cook who is second to no man of our
day in (his department of study, holds
the same view. Probably no roan has
given this subject more study, or
hrought belter ability to its investiga
tion, than Dr. Not t. I submit afew
lines from him. After an exhaustive
examination of this question continued
throught many yesra,he b)s: "In the
pi eceeding analysis we have found as
it miuht have been expected we should,
one generic term (yagin) expTessive of
viuoua leverage of overy description.
We have also found a teim (tifOh) ex
pieasive of the fruit of the vine ss it
exists in the cluster in the vineyard, or
pteasor vat, a term (ausie) expressive
of it aa it exists dropping or expressed
from tfea cluster. A term (sobhe) ex
pressive of it as inspissated or boiled
ft term (hhemer) expressive of it when
unmingled with other ingredients, and
a term (meaeob) expressive of it when
mingled with water or drugs."
"Tiroah," he goes on to say, "slwsys
used by the sacred writers to denote
the fruit of the vine in ite natural, and
not in its artificial state, occurs but
thirty-eight timet in the Hebrew Bi
ble. In thirty-six of which it is clear
ly used in a good sense and with appro
bation; and once, and only once, in a
bad sense or with disapprobation, and
there in coneetioif with ysgin, (1 loses
4:1 1) It I also used once in a doubt
ful sense, (Hoaea 7:14.)" "Ysgin," ho
says further, "is a genet io term, and
when not restricted in ite meaning by
some word or circumstances, compre
hends vinous beverages of every sort,
however produced. It is however, as
we have seen, often restricted to the
fruit of the vine in it natural and un
iatoxitating state. But when so re
st ticted, we have in no instance found
it used in a bad sense, or with diaappro
Nation. Ysgin is also often restricted
to the first of the vine in its artificial
or intoxicating stste, in which state it
is usually, if not uniformly, use I in a
bad sense or with disappfob ition
And, if the numerous commendation
of the fruit of the vine, before fermen
tation, with which the Bible abounds,
be bud out of the account, it will be
very difficult to find any dear and un
equivocal commendation of wine in the
Bible at all. For it it beore and not
alter fermentation, that the deprivation
of the fruit of the vine is spoken of ss
a judgment, that il is sosocisteJ with
other blessings, and pronounced itself
to contain a blessing; and it is after and
not before ferments tion that the fruit
of the vine is styled a mocker, sawx-iat-ed
with crime, and employed itself ss a
symbol of wrath."
Now, of all this Mr. Stevens gives
his readers not a word of intimadation,
but writes as though the Word wine
always meant the same thing in the
litblr, sud that what it commands un
der this term is intoxicating wiue such
as we get in the market to-day.
With much apparent confidence my
friend "appeals to the authority of cer
tain Bible critics." They are all great
and good men whom 1 venerate. But
great and good men are not always
free from prejudice. Tuey re often

on John C. after contending that it

nity of showing that be doe nut te
lle ve in "pledges." Heaa)ha' that
Mthey end in the degradation of individ
ual motives, and in social sVrNMN ruina
tion." J ust how the Lord condemned
'pledge by turning water into wine at
Cana, is more than ordinary morula
can see: A pledge is a covenant, and
the Bible and also practical life are full
of them. At the alter the husband
pledges himself to the wife end the
wife to the husband. The son on leav
ing home, pledgee himself to the
mother that be will read the Bible she
gives him as her parting gift, snd that
be will avoid bad company, and refrain
from intoxicating drinks. Men in
practical life are also constantly taking
pledgee. Any promise to dj, or not to
do, a note, bond, coutract or deed, is a
pledge. And yet all this ia degrada
tion of the individual motives, and so
cial demoralization," according to Mr.
A I ford, because Jeans turned water in
to wine at Cana !( This is certainly
wonderful, bnt the trouble is that plain
practical men who go on common
sense, rat lifts than abstract theory, will
not be able to see ia.
Another of these authorities ( Bishop
Wordsworth), commenting on Homans
14:21, which reads, "It is good neither
to eat flesh, now to drink wine, nor
anything whereby the brother stum
bletb, or is offended, or is made
weak," as this question : "May it
not therefire be the duty to take
vows of total abstinence from wiue, etc.,
in order that by so doing we may re
claim our brother from intemperance t"
He answers his own question t'tus :
"This is no couequeuce of St. Paul's
teaching. Fir it is true that wo
should not put a stumbling block in
our brothers way, neither should we
put a stumbling block in our way.
And this we should do by taking un
necessary vows which God and bis
church may not proscribe." From the
Bishop's own admission that we should
not put a xtflinbling block ia our
brother's way, the real question in
whether, as things now are, the ex
ample of a christian man using wine
as a beverage is a stumbling block" to
men 1 Whether by such examph
men are tempted and encouraged to
drink and so led into danger and drunk
enness f Every man who has paid any
attention to the influences of society
knows that such is the case. For a
man of bie scholarship, it is a very
lame argument to say that by a vow
to .abstain from intoxicating drinks
we are putting a stumbling block in
our own way.'' Every man of com
mon sense knows that this is not so.
A pledge in temperance work is no
more "a stumbling block to ourselves,"
than our pledges in the practical busi
ness affairs in life. Aoeordi g to the
theories of these authorities, ought
to take back all our promises, bum up
our notes, and destroy all our bond,
contracts and deeds I It strikes me
that these authorities prove altogether
too much. But the good Bishop is
not satisfied yet. He goen on to say :
"The meats etc., fiom winch the weak
brother abstained, had been pronounc
ed unclean by the Levilical Lw," and
then he argues an though it were to
these meats, alone, to which Paul re
fers. Any one who will turn to the
passage can see bow far short of the
whole truth the Biahop comes in this.
Paul does not confine the principle to
"meets pronounced unclean by the
Levitical LaW.f He says, "It is good
neither to'eat flotdi, nor to drink wine,
nor anything whereby thy brother
stumbleth, or fe ofTonded, or mad
weak." In 1 Cor. 8:13. hu a'.ao saya,
"Wherefore, if meat make my brother
to offend, I will eat no flesh while the
world hUndeth." (The italics are
mine.) How differ this from confin
ing the principle to "meets pronounced
unclean by the Levitical Law." The
Bishop's prejudice against ple-lges ia
o strong as to prevent him from see
ing the whole truth.
In commenting oo 1 Cu 8:13, the
Bishop makes about the Kuum plea as
on Ko. 14:21, aud then timete all he
himself and all the roat have said, by
this singular admission. "Ho if our
drinking wine be the caw. of sin to
any, we ought to abstain from it,
otherwise we are not obliged to do
so." That adtnissbn ia fatal to ail the
arguments that these authorities pre
sent. For, as said before, the exam
ple of christian men osing wine aa a
beverage wdl lead others to drinking
and drunkenness. No one c m doubt
this, who bss carefully watched the
influences, at work in society. If,
therefore, any account i to lie made
of the facte and experiences of life.theae
very authorities are rather against the
(HMtition held by Mr. Stevens, than in
its favor. He tells us in bis last ar
ticle that he does "not go outside of
the Scripture for instruction on any
moral question.1 In a sense, that is
what every christian would say, but
it may also be very misleading. It
may be understood to make no allow
ance for charge of condition and cir
cumstances, and to assume thst what
ever the Bible cramandii, commend
ed, or taught in any age of the pant,
must be carried into aU ages of the
future. In this sense wo beg leave to
differ with our brother. Thirty years
ago, the slave holder md the very
same plea in behalf of American slav
ery. To-day, the Mormon with hi
his dozen or twenty wives, makes
it in behalf of iiolygamy. Does the
Bible make no allowance for ml vane
in the race, and for change of condi
tions and circumstances 1 Is rrery
thing taught, commended or allowed
by the Bible 3000 years ago, to be
insisted now f Why not, juat as well
a to iun on the use of wine, as a
beverage ! We are further told that
"the church ia the only society in the
world thst can effect a true reforma
tion, and the only place where strength
is furnished to teaiat temptation." I
truat 1 sm not behind my brother in
mv regard for the Chriatian church.
Bat only a few, comparatively, can be
brought into it. Are Christian to do
no' l t ng to guard and help the multi
tude of tempted and weak who are
ontri le of the church ! Shall we
eeoa onr efforts to reform mm in one
- pert, la-cause we can not reform
them iu all ihii.fc . and bring them in
to the church t CerUsin it is that but
little reformation' cat he twulr in any
direction until men are sum fnme the
iujtuetwe of Hipwr. Aa we look out
upon society we are met by the sp
laxlling fict that intoxicating drinks,
directly r indirectly, are the cause of
the greater part of the crimes com
mitted, of the (ttverty and patiieriam
in existence, snd of the insanity and
wretchedness with which men are af
flicted. Three facts no one can rea
sonable deny. It is idle to say that
"men need not become drunksrds."
and that "they should have sense
enough to control themselves." The
fesrful fact is, they are drunksrd,
and, worse jet. ten thousand otheis
are becoming drunkard by thia very
practice for which Mr. Stevens plead.

are so and we must take thing as
they are where is the nerd, or even

Dean Stanley's will bs teen sworn
under $4.r0,000 j erons! y, a sum
which will l robably strike e'etgt men
in this country aa very large for a
divine to leave behind him. Fortune,
such as this, were, ia former daya,
frequently aequirrd in the church.
There are to-day families well known in
hngland whose rise date from an an
ccstor's connection with a cathedral
chapter, such ss thst of Durham and
Ely, which not only gave a hand
some income to its members, bnt placed
in their hands splendid patronsg,
which they could, and generally, to do
tbeas justice, did bestow on their rela
tives. In Ireland tbe case was far
worse. Lord Normanton (so create J I

about three million of dollars, and
numerous similar cases could be cited
of that eagle eye for the main chance
evinced by these holy men. Dean
Stanley's lias no such taint about it.
He never knew what tbe want of
money wss, and wh?t be . left came
from private source. But the pos
session of such wealth is in itself a
strong indication of tbe prestige of the
Established Church in England. It is
thought nothing unusual there for
men of means to enter it Hundred-
of clergymen, in fact, give to it thrice
and more, what thev get from it. It
ia not uncommon to find a man with
$10,000 a year of his own working,
with a panh from which bo derives
hat el v $l,o00. In this country, on
tbe other hand, the clerical profession
is rarely selected by a man of means.
In fact, even in such as this, f 10,000
would lie deemed a large sum for a
clergyman to leave behind him, and
whereas in England rectories aad vicar
ages may almost be regarded as centers
of hospitality, and the claret aad sherry
decanters pass round as merrily ft the
board of a prelate or a well-to do paTYvb.
priest as in that of any wealthy layman.
Here, on the other hand, such doings
would be so unusual as scarcely to be
regarded as orthodox. Thin state of
things in England is really doe more
to the union of Church with State than
to anything else. Men of Dean Stan
ley's stamp and fortune do not enter
tbe "dissenting.' It is the prestige of
the State Church which really attracts
and holds them, and with its abolition
there will come a marked change in
the social standing and wealth of tbe
clergy.
