THE LEGEND OF HoRsEsHOE.-This is the
simple legend of A good countryman was
taking rural walk one day with his son. little
Thomas. AS they walked along the father sud
denly stopped.
Look = he said. There's bit Of iron. q piece
of horseshoe; pick it up and put it in your pocket
Pooh = answered the child, it is not worth
STOPPING for
The father, without uttering another word,
picked up the iron, and put it in his pocket
When they came to village, he entered the
blacksmth's shop, and sold it for three fathings,
and with that sum he bought ome'cherries. Then
the father and son set off again on their ramble.
The sun was burning hot and neither a house,
tree, nor fountain Of water were in sight. Tho
mas soon complained of being tired, and had some
difficulty in following his father, who walked on
with firm step Perceiving that his boy was
tired, the father let fall cherry, as if by acc
dent Thomas quickly picked it up and devoured
it. A little farther, he dropped another. and the
boy picked it up as eagerly as ever; and thus they
continued, the father dropping the fruit and the
son picking it up. When the last one was eaten,
the father stopped, and. turning to the boy, said
Look. my son! If you had chosen to stoop
once. and pick up the piece of horseshoe, you
would not have been obliged at last to stoop so
often to pick up the cherriesp
There's good and pleasant moral in this little
anecdote which may be Of benefit to all Of US.

JERUsAIEM-If you stay in the Holy City long
enough to iall in anything like regular habits of
amusement and occupation, and to become, in
short for the time, "a man about time in JeruSa-
lem, you will necessarily lose the enthusiasm
which you may have felt when you trod the sa
cred soil for the first time, and it will then seem
almost strange to you to find yourself so entirely
surrounded in all your pursuits by the signs and
sounds OF religion. Your hotel is monastery
your rooms are cclls-the landlord is a stately
abbot, and the walters are hooded monks. If you
walk out Of the town, you find yourself on the
Mount of Olives, or in the valley Of Jehosaphat.
or on the hill OF Evil Counsel If you mount
your horse and extend your rambles, you will be
guided to the wilderness Of st. John, or to the
birthplace OF our Savior. Your club is the great
Church Of the Holy Sepulcre, where everybody
meets everybody every day. If you lounge
through the town, your Pail Mall is the Via Do
lorosa, and the object of your hopeless affections
is some maid or matrOn all forlorn, and sadly
shrouded in her pilgrims robe If you would
hear music it must be the chanting of friars. II
you look at pictures. you see virgins with mis-
erably foreshOrtened arms, or devils out of draw
ing. or angels tumbng up the skies in impious
perspective. If you make any purchases you
must go to the church doors; and when you in
quire for the manufactures of the place, you find
that they consist of double blessed beads, and
sauctfed shells. These last are the favorite to-
kens which the pilgrims carry off with them. The
she'll is craven, or rather scratched on the white
side, with n rude drawing OF the Blessed Virgin,
or of the Crucliiction or some other scriptural
subject having passed this stage it goes into the
hand Of priest! by him it is subjected to some
process for rendering it eficacous against the
schemes of our ghostly enemy; the manufacture
is then complete, and is deemed to be fit for
use.-EOthen.

To My Mother.
BY MARIA L. DoNNEI.sON.


Does home seem lonely now, mother,
Without my presence there?
And dost thou often think of me.
When thou seest my vacant chair?
Dost chou yet miss the merry laugh
That erst rang free and wild
Or listen to the footstep light
OF thy long absent child?
I've counted, one by one, mother,
The bright months that have passed
Like bubbles on times changeful stream,
Since the morn | saw thee last
I've counted every waning moon,
Slow fading from the sky.
And sighed to see the sands Of time
So swiftly gliding by.
The sweet spring died in giving birth
To summers floral reign
Now summer lies asleep beneath
The autumn's golden train;
The winds are wailing sad and wild
Upon her fading track,
Yet bring not to the ingle-nook
Thine absent darling back!
o. I'm not happy now, mother,
My heart has lost its glee,
And bitter tears my eyes have wept,
Since last they gazed on thee
I've grown so weary Of the strife
Upon life's desert Wild
Q, mother, pray, sweet peace may come
To bless thy youngest child

A MEDICAL REVOLUTION (!
THE WORLD UNANIMOUS.
HALLOWAYs OINTMENT.
THE GREAT COUNTER IRRITANT!!

THE GRtAI COUNIER lRRlIAN1!!
The virus of disease often makes its way to the
internal organs through the pores of the skim
This penetrating Ointment melting under the
hand as it is rubbed in, is absorbed through the
same channels and reaching the seat of infam-
nation, promptly and invariably subducs it,
whether located in the idncys, the liver the
lungs, or any other important organ. 1t pcne-
tratcs the surface to the interior, through the
countless tubes that communicate with the skin
as summer rain passes into the fevered earth, diff
fusing its cool and rcgenerat;ng influence.

in all parts of the world proves its nfallibiity in
diseases of the skin. the muscles, the joints and
the glands
LCERs, SORES AND TUMoRs.
The effect of this unrivalled external remedy
upon ScrOfula and other viruent ulcers and sores,
is almost miraculous. 1t first discharges the poi
son which produces suppuratign and proud flesh,
and thus the cures which its healing properties
afterward complete are safe IS well as permanent.

The Medical Staff of the French and English
Armies in the Crmea have officially signed their
approval of Halloway's Ointment, as the most
reliable dressing for sabre cuts, stabs and gun
shot wounds. 1t is also used by the surgeons of
the Allied Navies.

THE ingratitude of man to his fellow man is so
l. often met in life, that testimonials, prompted
by the finer feelings of the heart are oasis in the
life of those who sacrifice their best days in phlan
thropic devotion to the alleviaton of the ills OF
frail mortality. Empircsm floods the columns
of our press with fraudulent and fictitious letters
singing peans to the worth of their egotistical
charlatanism. Below we append a letter from a
worthy man who, brief period SINCE seemed
destined to shuttle off this mortal COLL who
looked forward to his dissolution with that pleas
ure which only those ghed down by the heavy
hand of disease can. Contrary to hope the ability
of skilful physician has restored him to his for
mer health Relieved from his terrible situation,
and impelled by gratitude, he makes known his
case and remedial agent, and his statement is au-
thentcated by notary public. The demands of
society imperiOusly command its publicity and it
is given more to warn the unwary than to sound
the praises of physician of whom scores of like
cases can be cited

week, only coming home Saturday nights to bring
his scany earnings. His wife felt herself attack.
ed by the fever in the night; in the morning she
was worse, and before night the plague spot show
ed itself She thought of the terrible fate of her
neighbors. She knew she must die, but as she
looked upon her dear little boys she resolved
not to communicate death to them. She had be-
fore locked the little children in the room. and
snatched the bed clothes, lest they should keep
the contagion, and left the house. She even de-
MED herself the sad pleasure of a last embrace
o, think OF the herosm that enabled her to con-
quer her feelings, and all she loved to die Her
eldest child saw her from the window. Good
bye mother said he with his tenderest tones,
for he wondered why his mother had left him so
strangely. Goodbye, mother repeated the
youngest child, stretching his little hand out of
the window. The mother paused, her heart was
drawn toward her children, and she was on the
point of turning back she struggled hard, while
the tears rolled down her cheeks at the sight of
her helpless babes at length she turned from
them. The children continued to cry. Goodbye,
mother The sounds sent thrill of anguish to
her heart; but she pressed to those who were to
bury her In two days she died recommending
her husband and children to their care with her
