WRONG.

Well why don'tyou come out and acknowl-
edge your error? O! you hate to ;-itlooks
too humiliating, eh? 1t were better for you
to acknowledge your error than to persist in
it like some wilful brute. Who will wag the
finger Of derision at you for saying boldly you
were wrong and intend to reform for the fu-
ture? No one whose verdict is worth a boz
gus penny. Out then in a moment, confess
your error, resolve to err no more, and you
will find lots of first rate friends eager to take
you by the hand and bid you Telegraph
speed in the track of truth. And Heaven
will bless you too.

The Beautv of the Heavens,

How Beautiful it is to contemplate the
heavens! They are stretched out as q cur
tain to dwell in" Not only as far as the
human eye can see, but beyond the remotest
boundary which the highest telescope power
can reach, does the ETHEREAL frmament ex-
tend We can find no limit-no boundary.
Millions of miles may be traversed from any
given point of space, and still the heavens
appear ilIimitable. Intinity is stamped Upon
them. And with what gorgeous splendor and
magnifcence is that curtain adorned In
every direction it is studded with worlds,
suns and systems, all tremendously moving
in perfect and undertaking obedience to the
Almighty will. The soul, in such a contem-
plation is absorbed. Earth ceases to hold US
with its silver chain. The mind, set free
from groyelling pursuits, mounts up, as on
the wings Of IN eagle, and scars away through
immensely ofspace, surveying and admiring
the innumerable revolving orbs, which, like
so many crowns of glory" and "diadems
of beauty" bespangle the armament, "whose
antiquity is of ancient days." and which so
powerfully attests that {" the hand that made
them is divine!"
The immense distance of the fixed stars
claims our attention, and awakens the most
enrapturing feelings in the mind. Reason is
compelled to give the reins to imagination.
which tells US there are stars SO distant that
their light has been shining since the crea-
ton, yet, amazingly rapid as light travels:
no ray from them has reached US
1.-The heavens truly declare the glory Of
God" and, in beholding such a disply O.
glory and beauty, we are deeply impressed
with its manifestations Of the power Of the
Creator, who sustains, upholds aud preserves
such myriads Of ponderous revolving bodies
each in its orbit moving in unerring obedi
ence to His will.

DRUSKARD-MAKING DocToRs.-A medi-
cal correspondent of the Waterville Mail
from whom we quote elsewhere, remarks !:
AS early as the days of the venerable DIR.
Rush, so manifest had the ruinous effects of
all alcoholic medicines become, that he ban
ished them from his Materia Medica. and
taught his students IN the University at
Pennsylvania, from his professional chair,
that all such medicines were pernicious to
the health as well as the morals Of the com
munity. When his patients asked for spir-
ituous liquors of any kind, his reply vas
Norman shall look me in the face in the day
of judgment and say DR.. Rush made me a
~drunkard.' He would often remark that
IF God would forgive him for making
drunkards in the early part of his practice,
when he knew no better, he would make no
more. If the Doctors mantle had but fall
en- upon his successors, happy would it have
been for the nation aud for the world
Let the physicians consider this matter
candidIy. That many are heedlessly pan
dering to deprayed appetites, and, III too
many cases, creating these appetites, Is to
apparent. Conscience should lead them tc
beware. They are tanpering With weighty
matters. What is the loss, temporarily, 0
a little popularity with a certain class, in com
parison with the evils inflicted by the manu-
facture of one drunkard Z Its idle to argu.

The Demand Still Tncraases

nA As the public becomes better a~cquain-
ted with the sterling qualities Of MLane's
Liver Pills, the demand continues to increase.
So certain is this great medicine in restoring
a diseased Liver to the exercise Of its proper
functions, that it is now looked upon as the
greatest Specific for Hepatis; and many
Physicians use it in their regular practice
Among others, DR.. Oliver Morgan, a distin-
guished physician of Virginia with a very
extensive practice, has used these Pills in
cases of Liver Complaint, and of Dyspepsia,
with complete success. Recommended as it
is by physicians, as well as others who have
witnessed the happy effect Of this medicine,
it is not surprising that we are daily in re-
ceipt of such missiyes as the following:-

The Hand Never Struck lie

We recently heard the following most
touching incident. A little 10y had died.
His oody was laid out in a darkened retired
room, waiting to be laid away in the lone
cold grave.
His afflicted mother and bereaved little
sister went to look at the sweet face Of the
precious sleeper, fol- his face was beautiful
even in death. AS they stood gazing upon
the form Of one so cherished and beloved,
the little girl asked to take his hand. The
mother at first did not think it best. but as
her child repeated the request, and seemed
very anxious about it she took the cold
bloodless hand Of her sleeping boy and plac-
ed it in the hand ofhis weeping sister.
The dear child looked at it a moment,
caressed it fondiy, and then looking up to
her mother, through tears-the tears of afec-
ton and loye-she said Mother, tAis little
hand neger struck me?
Whatcould be more touching andlovely 2
Young reader, have you always been so
gentle to your brothers and sisters, that, were
you to die, such a tribute as this could be
paid to your memory? Could a brother or
a sister take your hand, were it cold in death
and say: This hand never struck meg
What.an alienation to our grief, when we
are called to part with a friend, to be able
| to enseml5e LxarlS and aetionaAri
tual kindaess and love. How bitter must be
the sorrow, and scalding the tears Of remorse,
Of an unknd child, as he looks upon the
cold form, or stands at the grave Of a broth
er or sister, a father or mother, toward whom
he had manifested unEndness. Let US all
remember that whatsoever we SOW, in this
respect, that we shall also reap.
A SHORT SToRY.-On Dickens last voy-
age home the captain had on board a young
lady Of remarkable personal attraction

one you never meet with in the newspapers.
This young lady was beloved intensely by
FIVE young gentlemen passengers, and il
turn she was in love with them all very ar
IDENTITY, but without any particular preference
for either. Not knowing how to make UP
the determination in this dilemma, she con
suited my friend, the captain. The captain
being a man of original turn Of mind, says Il
: the Young lady, Jump overheard, and mar

FROM SOUTH AMERICA.-The following letter will
show that Earthquakes and Civil Wars are not all
the calamities they have to provide against in that
quarter of the world. Diseases incidental to orr
own climate, also find their way there, as will be
seen by the remedy they seek for protection.
To DR.. j. G. AVER, &c.
Valparaiso Chill, s. A, July 20, 1913.
Dear Sir: We have the pleasure to report on
your shipment Of Cherry Pectoral to our house, the
whole quantity sold, and a pressing demand for
more, which must await the arrival Of further sup
plies. Its success in curing diseases of the lungs,
and its consequent notoriety, has excelled any medi-
cine ever used in this.country. Most of our RENE
dies here are imported from England, and some of
them are rich and valuable; but no product Of med
zeal skill from that or any other quarter has ever
won SO fully the confidence Of our population as this
beautiful preparation Of yours.
The article has attracted particular attention a
mong our most distinguished citizens, from the fact
that General Bulnes, President Of the Republic, and
the highest officer in the State, was cured Of a se-
we're and dangerous affection Of the lungs, by its
use. He allows US to send his name, and wishes to
add the acknowledgements Of gratitude for his relief
We have the honor to be, sir,
Very respectfully,

Beware how we use il,


All admit the great influence that our sex
has over the other. None will deny the in
fluenGe that the wife has over the husband,
the mother over the sun, or the sister over the
brother but while we know that we possess
the influence, we should be careful, aye, very
careful, in what way we use it. Man in the
majority Of cases, will not be commanded or
coerced into any measure. Tenderness, per-
s%uasion, and affection may and will accom-
plish much, while a different curse will only
6strange him farther from you. Oh, how the
woTdss Of d criminal, who was convicted for
a ~State4Prison offence, now lAGm our ears.

my wife, would have saved me from this !"
= Wife, if thy husband fall, cast him not
aside; reproach him not with bitter words
but BY kindness win him back remembering
that as you hope to be forgiven, you must
also forgive.
Mother, wife, daughter, beware how you
set temptations before those who are near
and dear to you. How many a man has
been driven to intemperance by the first glass
that was presented to him by ma
Wife, make the home of thy husband a
happy resort for him from the cares and trou-
bTes of life: let him ever receive from you
a cordial welcome-he may be perplexel with
many cares and troubles that he would de
sire to keep from you, fearing that it would
cause you sorrow and grief; for in so doing
you keep him from resorting to places fo1
company and enjoyment, where the seeds O
his dissipation and rum may be sown.
Finally, let US strive to maintain our power
and our influence by persuasion and kind
