OF them, as producing the desired effect.
Several important cases in this vicinity, which
came under our personal knowledge, hare been

years without effect.
In fact, we think it one of the most invaluble
remedies for Consumption Of the Lungs. and all

A HOME PICTURE.


BY =, .. GAGE.
Ben Fisher had finished his hard days work,
And he sat at his cottage door;
His good wife, Kate, sat by his side,
And the moon. light danced on the floor
The moonlight danced on the cottage floor,
Her beams were clear and bright,
As when he and Kate, twelve years before,
Talked love in her mellow light.
Ben Fisher had never a pipe Of clay,
And never a dram drank he:
So he loved at home with his wife to stay,
And they chatted right merrily;
Right merrily chatted they on, the while
Her babe slept on her breast,
While achubby rogue, with rosy smile,
On his fathers knee found rest.
Ben told her how fast the potatoes grew;
And the corn in the lower field;
And the wheat on the hill was grown to seed,
And promised a glorious yield;
A glorious yield in the harvest tine,
And his orchard was doing fair;
HIS sheep and his stock were in their prime,
His farm all in good repair.
Kate said that her garden looked beautiful.
Her fowls and her calves were fat;
That the butter that Tommy that morning churn'd,
Would buy him a Sunday hat;
That Jenny for Pa a new shirt had made,
And twas done too by the rule; 2
That Neddy the garden could nicely spade;
And Ann was ahead at school.
Ben slowly raised his toil-worn hand
Thro' his locks of greyish brown
Il tell you, Kate, what Think said he,
We're the happiest folks in town"
Il know" said Kate, that We all work hard
Work and health 60 together, Eve found;
For there's Mrs. Bell does not work at all,
And she's sick the whole year round.
worth their thousands 81 ncon1e s,,
But ! meier saw them happy yet;
not be me that would take their gold,
And live in a constant fret; |
My humble home has a light within,
Mrs. Bells gold could not buy,
Six healthy children, a merry heart,
And a husbands love- lit eye.n
fancied a tear was in Ben's eye
The moon shone brighter and clearer,
could not tell why the man should cry,
But he hitched up to Kate still nearer;
leaned his head on her shoulder there,
And he took her hand in his
uess-(tho' look'd at the moon just then)
That he left on her lips a kiss.

susDAT.-The first day Of the week
derived its name from the Saxous, who,
in heather times; consecrated it tho to
Sun, which they worshipped. The solem.
nization of the day began during the
early history of the Christian Church, in
commemoration of the Resurrection of
Christ and the descent of the Holy Ghost,
both of which events took place upon it.
The Sunday was at first distinguished
only by prayers and the reading of pas
sages of the Scriptures. Before the reign
of Constantine, it was not strictly obser.
we'd as day Of cessation from labour;
but, by decree of that Emperor, public
business and military exercises were sus.
pended. The Council of Laodieea, which
sat A. D. 260, forbade labour of all
kinds on that day, and the laws of The
odosius sanctioned the interdiction, and
imposed penalties to secure its obser-
vance.

Mr.. j. E. MARsHaL,-Dear Sir: In ,compli-

mcnt of facts. My boy Daniel stuck q thorn in
his foot about the first Of last June, the; thorn
was extracted, and no more thought Of it forl5
or 20 days, his foot :hen began to swell, and IN o
few days it was opened. 1t discharged o large
quantity of matter. The discharge continued
for eight days, and then ceased. His foot tken
RECOMMENDED swelling and extended up his leg,
thigh, and hip, with violent pain. He then sbe-
gan to spit from his lungs matter similar to that
discharged from the abscess on his foot. then
called in medical aid, and from the remedies used,
he was alternately better and worse for eight or
ten weeks. During this time large absecss
formed upon the hip, the discharge was large,
and as soon as it ceased, general swelling Of his
leg, thigh and breast commenced, which was very
hard to the touch, and at times experienced much
difficulty in swallowing. Medical aid seemed OF
no further avail, and was discontinued: then
had recourse to your Magical Pain Eradicator." !"
In forty-eight hours, from the time commenced
its use, his foot began to soften; the swelling on
his hip and breast subsidized, and Fam pleased to

THE farmers BOY.

- BY FRANCIS D. CAFE.
o, ajovial farmers boy I'll be,
AS fresh as the birds tha. sing,
And carrol my merry songs of glee
Among the flowers Of spring.
With whoop who boy,,to drive my team,
Before the'rising sun,
To slake their thirst in a silvery stream
Shall be my morning fun -:
To see the hungry poker feed, -,
And hear him grunt his thanks,
Torouse the calves from their grassy bed,
To shake their drowsy fanks;
To draw from the gorgeous cow her store,
With young hands strong and free,
TIL the brimming pale is running o'er
With the foaming luxury;
To haste to the garden with hoe and seed
While the dew is on the spray,
To plant, to trim to hoe and weed
The morning hours away;
To raise the flowers for the honey bee,
With their petals bright and fair,
o, love the budding flowers to see,
In my garden here and there;
Or away to the fields with the reapers hie
And toll the livelong day,
And think of the happy time whenI
Shall be man as they,
To plough, to harrow, to plant, to-sow
The rich and fertile lands:
To reap and bind, to pitch and NOW,
With strong and willing hands.
DIV would not live in the crowded town,
With its pavements hard and gray,
With its heightened streets of dusty brown
And its painted houses gay
Where every boy his ball may bound
Upon his neighbours dome,
And every shout and, d,every sound
Disturbs some others home.
The squirrel that leaps from limb to limb,
In the forest waving high,
Or the lark that scars with his matin hymn
Is not more free than I.
Then give me the trade of a farmer boy,
From city trammels free,
And rll crack my whip and cry, Who hoy I!
o, farmer boy III be!

STRENGTH OF TEA.--Two gettlemen,
noted for their fondness of exaggeration,
were discussing the fare at their different
hotels. One obsered that at his hotel he
had tea so strong that it was necessary to
confne it in an iron vessel.
"At mine," said the other, "it is made
so weak, it has not strength enough to run
out of the teapot"
