those tides might influence the winds and elesnse

purify andrefresh the world. And what was the
use of that great expaase of waters? The ancients
called it the barren, the harvestlese, the unvintaged
sea : they spoke of it as the waste teeters, and
talked as if the showers and the sunbeams were
wasted and fell into its waves. And sot but for
that sea, not one harvest would grow —not one
vineyard yield its purple clusters, ana if the
showers and the sunbeams did not fall upon the
sea there would be no showers anywhere, and the
sunbeams would fall upon a scorched cud barren
world. But, as it was, there was an exquisite
circulation of Providential agencies. And so the
clouds were fattened, and so the se-d grew, and
the same sun ripened it, and gave its colour to the
flower, and its foodfulnese to the corn, and its
nectar to the fruit, and on the grass and flower,

field And thus the sea and the earth, and the
heaven and the plant, and the mortal bodies of
tnen, were not only marvellous in the loveliness,
but also in their divine utility, and amid their
beauty they seemed as ode vast laboratory of
beneficence and life. Noiselessly, invisibly, beauti-

science till he was able to knead the molten iron as
tliough it were liquid paste; to tunnel a passage

vapour speed him along against wind and wave,
and to seize the lightning by its wing of fire and
bid it carry him most trival messages in a moment

The Rev. John Sheward, of Milton, Kent, wrote

I dreaded the simplest duties, and lost all energy and

COBDEN'S PILLS the change in my health for the

Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Old Wound., Son.,
and Ulcers.—Daily experience confirms the fact which
has triumphed over opposition for thirty years—via
that no means are known equal to Holloway's remedies
for curing bad legs, sores, wounds, diseases of the skin,
erysipelas, abscesses, burns, scalds, and, in truth, all
cases where the ;skin is broken. To care these in,
firmities quickly is of primary importance, as the com-
pulsory confinement indoors weakens the general
health. The ready means of cure are found in Hel.
loway's Ointment and Pills, which heal the sores and
expel their cause. In the very worst eases the Dint.
went has succeeded in effecting a perfect cure, after
every o her means has failed of giving any relief. pops

War so MINT Psortu is often remarked how
messy more people than formerly complain of feeling
unwell. It is not that there is a vreater amount of con-
tagious disease afloat, for there is proof that the extent and
strength of sueli is far less than of yore, because of bette
sanitary arrangements and greater attent•on to cleanlinesa
and other matters. The enormous prevaleace cannot b
doubted of pains in the back, side, and chest, enervated end
languid feelings, with loss of energy ; distress a,,cl fullness
of the stomach, with often a sense of deadly faintness at its
pit which eating does not stay ; sick headache ; so-callt d
biliou,ness ; unpleasant breath ; a sense of wear:nese when
rising in the morning, with an unpleasat t taste in Le
mouth ; and the loss of appetite or non-enjoymeet of food.
Theaie a a but the mildest effects of "feeling uNwell." and
yet how great is the distress and suffering, with hiudrauce
to business and pleasure that they give rise to. The cause
is nut far to seek, it lies in the stomach and digestive organs.
which have become impaired to the distress of nearly all
the other functions of the body. Assuredly could the
stomach always be kept n well regulated condition through
life. it would tend to far greater I,.ugevity ban is now ths
case. The stomach is a wheel within wheels, and just seen
erratic tendency, cri th 3 part of a small but still important
wheel of a clock, leads to the disarrangement of its whoa
fun. tion as a timekeeper, so does the failure of so import-
an. a wheel as the digestive organs in the maehamee, of the
human a rams, throw, by their impaired vigour or inac.ion,
