    RGCOVfiRED CHARRS; As pensive one night in my chamber I sat, Perplex’d at my beauty’s decay— For I saw that a wrinkle was traced on my brow, And my ringlets were mixing with grey— And the bloom on my cheek, which so proudly I prized, I perceived was fast fading away. And I wept at the sight, and despondingly cried— “ Will hard-hearted Time never stay ?” I scarcely had spoken, when softly a voice In sweet soothing accents began, “ Ah 1 beautiful Lady, no longer repine, For Time has now yielded to One. “ Go, hie thee to Rowland, wlio^e wonderful Oil From your ringlets will banish the grey, “ While the faintly traced wrinkle which frets you, the Sage With Kalydor will brighten away ; “ And the beautiful bloom of your cheeks will return It ceased then its wonderful strain. While ardent I follow’d the darling advice, And I’m youthful and blooming again. A WHITE HAND and ARM, has ever been considered as a dis¬ tinguished Trait of Female Beauty. The celebrated Ninon de Senclos, whose personal charms were the chief attraction in the gay court of Louis XIV., was pre-eminent for the whiteness of her hands and arms. ” Voila Beaux Bras—Belles Mains 1” was the exclamation of all who beheld her. To be possessed of an acquisition so truly desirable, it is only requi¬ site to have recourse to ROWLAND’S KALYDOR, which renders the Neck, Arms, and Hands, as White as Alabaster, Parian Marble, or, as the snow descending from the clouds. To the Complexion it transmits a Beauty inconceivable and inexpressible. The well-known Mrs.-, of literary celebrity, met with a serious accident some time since, as during a fit of poetical abstraction the candle caught her head-dress, and burnt her hair off so completely, that its roots appeared to be destroyed, and her medical adviser despaired of her ever again recovering that invaluable embellishment. However, we are happy to add, that a titled friend of hers, having experienced the happy effects of Rowland’s Oil in strengthening and thickening the hair, advised the fair sufferer to try it, and she] has now, much to the surprise of her medical attendant, as beautiful a coiffure as Nature ever gave to her most favoured daughter.
