An Affecting Scene.

| An affecting occurrence look place some
time ago in Seaboard town IN Eng land
Six iiule children got inlo boat on the
beach, and a mIsehlevous boy showed il
off. The boat drlllrd away to the sea be-
fore the children were missed. Terrible

knew it. number of men went in all
directions; every boat on the lookout un-
til far in the night. Daylight returned, and
still there were no lidIngs from The help.
less children; the day wore away, and sill
nothing was heard from them--lhey were
either los! in the wide expanse Of the O..

depths. A Plymouth fisherman, fishing
early next morning, discovered something
floating alta distance. He bore down to
the bottom six children, all huddled TO-.

the promise of taking them home. Be-

man was seen in the ofing, the boat
ast'rn. All eyes were turned toward
him. The best spyglass in the town was
rubbed again, and a, last they could fairly
see that it was the identical boat. The
news flew through the town--lhe moth
ers came frantic TO the beach, for there
were no children dlscerned in the hoal;
none TO be seen IN the sloOp. Intense
was the agony OF suspense, and all alike
shared it with the parents. At last the
boat came in, and The word went round

Too True.

Mrs. Lwisshelm utlers a true word when
she describes the education of The "young
gentlemen and ladies'" OF The rising gene
ration among the fashionable, as utterly
devoid OF common sense--whose only
tendency is 20 mental weakness and phy.
scal decay.
She says "A Young genteman-s
smoolh-faced striplng-wllh ltlle breed
ing and less sense, ripens fast, and believes
himself a nice young man. He chews
and smokes tobacco. swears genterlly
coaxes embryo imperias with bear :
grease, twirls rattan, spends his fathers
money, rides fast hOrses-on horse back
and in sulkles-double and single-drinks
Ca,awbs, curses the Maine liquor law,
and hlrrs with young ladies' hundreds
of hon are just like himself, though OF
different gender /; and this is the fashions
bic education of our day. The fathers
and mothers Of these fools were once
poor. Good fortune has given them abuh-
dance. Their children will run through
an inextiausilble fortune in lew years,
and die in the poor house. Parents. you
are responsible for this folly. Set your
sons aud daughters TO work. and let them
know that only in usefulness there is hon.

How the r. r. Resolvent cured the Kings
Evil, after congress of Crowned Monarchs
Failed to restore the supplicant to health.
THE FIRST SIGN
The presence OF Pimples, Blo:ches Pustues
letters, Rash Little Sores, Painful ltchngs, Hot
Flushes SC, are sure indications of the presence
of foreign aud impure humors in the system
and if allowed to mingle with the blood and re-
main in the system corrupting the blood and
! filling the sewers of boGy with impurities, Sores
and Ulcers will break out, and cover the body
with their repulsive presence.
The Skin under these poisonous influence be-
comes an eruptive volcano, exhibiting TO the
eye the disgusting lava Of disease, in the form OF
Salt, Rheum, Cancers, Ulcers, Fever Sores,
Putrid Flesh, Kings Evil, and the most Fright
ftti EruptionS ofthe SKIN.
Railways Renovaiing Resolvent has cured
the most terrible of Skin Diseases and Humors
it will never fail in The worst cases.
LARGE HOLES IN THE NECK
IA Emigrant called upon US a few months
since, who had been troubled with the disease
called "king's Evil" He had two very large
holes in his neck and his head, body and legs
were covered with the most disgusting and
sickening sores We Immediately placed him
under the influence Of the Resolveni. 10 six
weeks from the time he called upon US every
sore was healed, not even sore was left upon
his body to remind him of the Kings Evil"
This man, like thousands of other deIuded
persons, had laid himself prostrated before two
Emperors, four Kings, and one Queen, TO be
touched by The fingers of Royalty, believing
that the hands of their "most sacred majesties
would drive away the evil" The Renovating
Resolvent had more power in restoring this
poor deluded victim of cruel disease, 10 q
sound condition Of body, than all the kings and
monarchs on the earth.

The Young Bride to her Mother.

THIS is the saddest hour, mother,
That have ever known,
And yet spell of untold bliss
Around my heart is thrown!
I'm sad to think that |, mother,

This homes no more my home, mo her,
The parting horr is near,
And then leave IFS sacred haunts,

Early affections speak, mother,
And fain would bid me stay,
But stronger is the voice Of love
That's calling me away.

For holy i, the vow
Assembled from my lips to Heaven
His noble heart must ne'er, mother,
Know aught OF grief, and pain;

He must not look in vain
But oh, if should la;I, mother,
There's naught but woe lor me
A joyless blank far worse than deata,
Will oil my future be
Oh, many hopes and fears, mother,
Within my bosom swell,

And say to all farewell
But one boon ere | go, mother,

Oh, pray 10 God for me, mother,
Oh, pray TO God for me

were hard al work they would hum 'AuId
Lang Sgne' or some good old psalm tune
but now they cannot possibly think OF
anything inferior TO piano, and they
must have the Hollan attachment at that.
Instead Of the good old hymns that they
should have learned at church we have
some foreign air and while we listen in
amaZemenl to the execution We are kept
in perpetual fear of breaking of necks or
cracking of voices amid mulIiudinous qua
vers, semi-QuaverS, Iseml-quavers and
variations. Fifty years ago the recrea-
tons that found favor in the eyes OF girls
were cuttings and May day excursions,
or perhaps picnic and still later social
chll-chat Now they must visit the ope-
ra. and listen to an innumerable quantity
of Italian stuff which they know nothing
about, or they must wIggle through the

ago girls could jump upon horse and
