P E R R Y’S HENGARIAN

For Restorig Preserving and

Beautlfying the Hair.

TIIIS elegsntprepsration is an effectual remedy for llaldttes-. or falling otfof the Hair It prevents and coinpletr.-ly erndicntes Scarf rind Iliiiidrulf, strengthens the Roots of the hnir ; causes it to grow lnxurianlly;gives its rich. dark. soil mid glassy appearance. and prevents it turning gray. The Hun- garian Balm is a purely egetsble compound, scien- tifically rind chemically combined. and is warranted to contain none of tlioss deleterious ingredients which prove so injurious to the hair. It acts directly upon the skin, cleansing and purifying it from all unhealthy secretions, ' ehy removing and preventing the accumulation ofscurf. dandrutf and other impuri- ties, which so frequently cause premature decay pod loss of the hair.

'l‘he Hungarian Balm is especially adapted to ladi-a' use; and those who have tried the various oleaginous mixtures. with no benefit. will at once di-icover the agreeable and beneficial sfects produced by this pure nnd delicate preparation. Instead of mania and tnngling the hair, (which is more or less pu ed out in the process of combing‘, ) it leaves it free and closu ; ornotes'a natural moisture, mid imparts a beauti ul dark and gloarfy uppeerance. Try it at once and you will be convinced ofits supe- riority ovsr all other compounds for the air.

uch more might be said in favor ofthis inesii- mubls compound, but It unecessary. The proprietor feels confident that one -rituti. will convince the most incrdulous of its rare and manl- fold virtues. Therefore,

CUBA AND THE OUBANS.

Alate number of the North American Review contains an article respecting the Queen of the Anti|les,'tvhich gives some interesting statements. The coast of Cuba is indented with fine harbors, the soil is extraordinarily rich, and the temperature equable and selubrious. The rainy season is far from being disagreeable, for the rain falls but an hour or two each day, and the air is invigorating. There are three kinds of snil——the block, the red and the mulatto -—-all rich, and composed ‘of fine particles with little ndhesiveness. The dust of the red soil will penetrate clothing, and remain on the body after vigorous scrubbing. In some places one may travel for miles, without meeting a stone. The principal trees are the palm and the ceibu, or cotton tree; the latter ofwhich grows over a bun- dred feet high, and sends forth horizontal branches covered with thick foliage. The scenery around Matanzns is exceedingly beuuti ll .

Havana contains l35,000 inhabitants, and resembles an oriental city, the houses being chiefly stone‘ nnd stucco, rarely more than two stories high. The streets are narroiv, olleii with no sidewalks, which are never over three feet wide. The carriage- wnys are covered with n conglomerntion of limestone and cement, wliic make an irritutiiig dust, and granite is now being imported from New England at great ex- pense, for pavements. The windows are without glass, those on the ground floor being protected with grates, behind which the inmates sit, and pussers by are allowed

. to stare at the ladies as inucb asthey please,

they being exceedingly bold, and consider- ing such observation a compliment. Houses ofdifferent clusses—hovels and palaces-— adjoin each other, audit is not uncommon for it rich man to buy out his néighbo.-'3 right 0 building nsecond story, thus pre- venting the obstruction of his view and itir. The populnfion consists‘ of Spaniards, Creoles, free-colored. sloves,end foreigners. The natives ofold Spain are the aristocrats rind ho_ld_ull the public places; they also manifest grenlf contempt for the Creole or native population. There are three classes of cars on the railroads. Gambling, cockfight- int}, &.c., are universal among allclasses. The women also engage in the lottery and indulge in smoking. The ladies are unedu- cated and lead a monotonous, unemployed iliz, and are consequently subject to ex- trnor-diriur, freaks, and are kept under strict siirveillnnce. The nobility maintain

_cx ensivc and ruinous establishments.

he Creoles return hate for the contempt ofthe Spaniards, and the Government is continually in fear of them, and they are kept as much as possible in ignorance.

In I816 there were upwards of 470,000 blacks and mulnltoes, one-third of whom were free: the number of whites was 425,- 000. The laws favor the acquisition of fi-eodom by the blacks, their masters being obliged to permit them to devote it portion oftlieir time and wages to this end. The slaves often also resort to the lottery for the purpose of obtaining money to purchase their liberty. I.)ui-iiig thed yseiisnn, when the sugar is nianiifitctiired, the slaves on pluiitiitions are severely worked, and the yearly inortnlily uifiong them is excessive. Fiwqtienlly they escape to the woods to lead I]. wild life, or cniniiiit suicid»-, st-vernl oftliciii togcllit-r. Ifu slxive is dissatisfied with his muster, he can compel the master to sell him, at a price to be settled by referees. _

The religious stnle «of Cuba is exceed- ingly low; there is little religion, and that entirely ofa formal kind. The priests fi-cqueiit the cock-pits. indulge in many vices, and VIOIHIC, without tiny attempt at coiice_ttlinc-tit. their vow of chastity. Infi- delity prcrnils to a great extent.

The iiiuuner of disposing of the dead, shocks our ideas of propriety. The ceme- teries tire small, the liorliresi are carelessly interred, several in one grove, quick lime being soinctimos thrown in to hasten decomposition, rind the bones are disintcrred and gathered into charnel houses, where they are burned. Ollen n cofiin is merely used to carry the body to the grave, the body being cast in and the coffin taken back to serve the same office for another-_

The government of Cuba has been the same since I589, Captains General being appoiiitcd at intervals of about 5 years; 57 have been appointed since that time.

‘Nearly all amass furtiiiies by conniving at

the slave trade, instituting monoplies, Sic. About $20,000,000 are raised by tax for the support of an expensive government. Besides this, the Cuban must obtain license for any amusements at home, and for travelling. He cannot entertain foreigners, or change his residence without notifying his government. The powers of the Captain General Ire almost absolute and arbitrary. He is sustained by a standing army, but the military are only kppt in proper sub- ordination by contiuu I localities of _regimebte. _ - sprsud discontent existing throughout the

INFLUENCE OI’ “OTHERS.

We are nccutsomed to speak of the achieve- ments of such men as Bacon, Hall, Newton, Dwight,_Edwards, end a host of like re- pown, without duly _eppi-eciati ‘the world's indebtedness to their illpd a faithful mo-

ers ‘That materna influence had much to do in preparing them for s heres of extensive usefulness, is evident rom such facts tie the followin .

Bishop Hall acknowledged maternal agen- cy in the formation of his own character, and on one occasion wrote of his mother, “ How often have I blessed the memory of those divine asssges of experimental di- vinity which have heard from her mouth! What day did she pass without a large task of private devotion, whence she would still come forth with a countenance of undissem- bled mortilication? Never any lips have read to me such feeling lectures of piety, neither have Iknown any soul‘thiit more accurately practised them than her own."

John Quincy Adams once paid the fol- lowing tribute to his mother:——“ It is due to gratitude and nature, that I should acknow- ledge and avow that, such as I have been, whatever it was. such as I am, whatever it is, and such as I hope to be in all futurity, must be ascribed, under Providence, to the precepts and example of my mother. ”

The following very interesting testimony of the Rev. Richard Knill is quoted at length :—" I have aiivld recollection of the effect of maternal in uence. honoured mother was a religious woman, and she watched over and instructed me as pious mothers are accustomed to do. Alas! I often forgot her admonitiona: but in my most thoughtless da s,I never lost the impressions which her boy example has ma e on my mind. After spending a large portion of my life in foreign lands, I returned again to visit my native village. Bothmy areiits died while I was in Russia, and their house is now occupied by my brother. The fur- niture remeine jus't the same as when I was

s-e

a boy; and at night, I was accommodated

with the same bed on which had otlen slept before, but my busy thoughts would not let me sleep. I was thinking how God had led me through the journey of life. At last the light of the morning darted through the little window, and then my eye caught a sight of the spot where my sainted mother, forty years before, took me by the hand and said, ‘ Come, my dear, kneel down with me, and I will go to prayer.’ This completely overcame me. I seemed to hear the ve tones of her voice;'I recollected some of her expressions: and I burst into tears, and arose from my bed end_fell upon my knees just on the spot where my mother kneeled, and thanked God that I had once a praying mother. And, 0! if every parent could feel what I felt then, I am sure they would pray with their children; as well as for them.” Equally to the point and touching is the following incident in the life of Dr. Dodd, as related by himself. His mother was de- prived of her reason when he was a child; and referrin to this he suys:—-" I can re- collect thet when a child I was standing at the open window, at the close of a lovely summer’s day. The large, red sun was just sinking away behind the western bills; the sky was gold and purple comiiiin led, the winds were sleeping, and a soil, so emn stillness seemed to hang over the earth. I was watchin the suli as he sent his yellow rays throng the trees, and felt a kind of awe, though knew not wherefore. Just then my mother came to me. She was rav- ing with frenzy; for reason had long since left its throne, and left her a victim of mad- ness. She crime up to me wild with insanity. I pointed to the glorious sun in the \vest,and in a moment she was calm. She took my little hands within hers and told me that ‘ the great God made the sun, the stars, the world—every thing;that be it was,who made her little boy, and ave an him immortal spirit; that yonder sun, and the green fields, and the world itself will. one day be burned up; but that the spirit of her child will then be alive, for he must live, when heaven and earth are gone; that he must pray to the great God, and love him, and serve Illllt tor ever.’ She let go my hnnde- mndnr-as re- :urned—she hurried away. I llm d with my eyes filled with tears, and my little bo- som heaving with emotions which lcould not have described; but I can never tiirgs-t the impressions which that conversation of -my poor mother lelt upon me. ! what a_ blessing it would have been, had the inscru- table providence of God given [no 8 mother who would have re , sled these instructions.
