DE MORSE. the inventor of MoRsEs INDIAN RoaT
Pulls has spent the greater part Of his iuns life in
well as North Amerca-has spent three years among
the Indians Western countryit in this way
that the Indian Root Pills first discovered. DR..
Morse was the first man to establish the fact that all the
diseases arise from IMPURITY THE BLsoD-that our
strength health and life depended upon this vital fluid
When the various passages become clogged, and do
not act in perfect harmony with the different functions
of the body the blood loses its action, becomes thick
corrupted and diseased thus causing all pains, sick
and distress of every name strength is ex-
hausted our health deprived of and if nature is
not assisted in throwing off the stagnant humors. the
blood will become choked and cease to act, ana thus
our light fife will forever be blown out How impor-
then that should keep the various passages OF
the body free and open And how pleasant to US that
have in power to put medicine in your reach
namely, Morfe's Indian Root Pills, nufactured from
plants and roots which grow around the mountainous
cliffs in Natures garden for the health and recovery OF
diseased man. One of the roots from which these Pills
are made is Sudorife, which opens the pores of the
skim and assist Nature in throwing the finer parts
of the corruption within. The second plant viii III
is EXpectorant that opens and uneogs the passage
to the lungs. and thus soothing manner, performs
its duts by throwing OFT hiegm, and other humor from
the lungs by copiou splitting The third is Diurctic.
which gives and double strength to the kidneys
thus encouraged they draw large amounts of impurty
from the blood which is then thrown out beautifully
by the urinary water passage and which could not
have been ischarged in any other way The fourth Is

Pills while engaged in purifying the blood the coarser

MISCELLANEOUS.
A Rich Seen

A Rich Scene.
In the Canadian House of Assembly last
week, they had quite a spirited debate on
the bill to prohibit the use of hoops and cri-
Moline, introduced by Aikens. We pub
fish few of the most brilliant passages:
Mr.. Drummond was an ardent admirer of
hoops from childhood. He was born with
q love of hoops When he was child of
tender growth, he used to trundle his hoop,
all unconscious of the fate thatwas in store
for him. Later in life he swallowed ring,
which resulted in hoop-in-cough and
even now the sight of an empty hogshead
brought tears into his eyes.
Mr. Brown complained that it was i'm
possible now to choose wife, since her de-
fects were SO hid by hoops, and enveloped
in crinoline, that the naked
Spcaker--Order. MA
Mr.. Brown-Mr Speaker.
Speaker-The honorable gentleman is
out of order. ..a.zss...
Mr.. Brown-But Mr.. Speaker the ma
ked--.
Speaker-Hold your tongue, sir. 49,.
Mr.. Brown-The naked
Speaker-Upon my soul Brown, cork
up, or I'll have you arrested.
Mr.. Brown-Pcrmit me to explain, Mr.
Speaker. When said the naked
Speaker Cycling )-clear the galleries of
ladies, Mr.. Sergeant.
Mr.. Brown-In the name of the seven
teen graces and the fifteen muses., Mr..
Speaker-dearly beloved Smith-let me
apologize then only meant to say that
hoops and crinoline had reached to such a
redundancy, that it was impossible to ar
rive at the naked
Speaker frantically death and blue
devils! Stop, or I'll brain you with the
mace. Consider the improperly Of
Mr.. Brown-(wildly) Truth! truth
truth! naked truth, was what was going
to say.
Mr.. Dunbar Ross understood his honor
able friend to say that people could not pass
along the streets without being assaulted by
highwaymen. Now surely the honorable
member from Lake Ontario could not but
be aware that the character of every men,
Der in the House was affected by such
DAM
Mr.. Tablet objected to such unparliamen-
tary language.
Mr.. Ross protested against interruption.
He was going to say, by such dam
Mr.. j. Cameron-The honorable member
should not swear in that dreadful manner.
Mr.. Ross-Wasn't doing anything of the
kind; but would be tempted to do SO, if not
allowed to finish his sentence-but such a
dam order, order) dam-(confusion)
he would repeat it-by such dam-(tre-
mendous uproar.)
Mr.. Wright stood up and moved, amidst
the widest confusion, that Mr.. Ross be
expelled from the House for such awful
language.
Mr.. Ross (black in the face) exclaimed
that damaging statements was all he meant
to say when he was interrupted by the
fool
Mr. Tablot-Who's fool
Mr.. Ross-Foolish ass
Mr.. Camcron-Who's an ass!
Mr.. oss--(wildly)-Foolish assertion
Of profanity.

THE YEARS.

A2bS AS~ASSs
BY r.. r. g.. LOWELL.
These years. these years these naughty years
Once they were pretty things!
The fairy footballs caught our ears,
Our eyes their giancing wings
They fitted by our schoolhoy way
We chased the little imps in play.
We knew them, soon, for trickey elves;
They brought the college gown,
With thoughtful books filled up our shelves,
Darkencd our lips with down,
Played with our throat, and 10! the tsns
Ofmanhood had become our own.
They, smiling, stretched our childish size;
Their soft hand trimmed our hair,
Cast the deep thought within our eyes,
And LEFT 1t glowing there; .
Sang songs of hope in college halls,
Bright fAnciss drew upon the walls.
They flashed upon US loves bright gem;
They showed us CLEANS Of fame;
Etout-hearted work we learned from them,
And honor more than name.
And so they came and went away;
We said not, 60! We said not, stayl
But one sweet day, when quiet skies
And still leaves brought me thought,
When hazy hills drew forth my eyes,
And woods with deep shade fraught,
That day carelessiy found out
What work these elves had been about.
Alas those little rogues, the years,
Had fooled me many day,
pivcked half the locks above my ears,
!
And tingcd the rest all gray.
They LEFT me wrinkles great and small
fear that they have tricked us all.
Well, give the little years their way
Think, speak and write the while;
Lift up the bare front to the day
Aud make their wrinkles smile;
They shape the noblest living head;
They carve the best tomb for the dead.

AS the time draws nigh for the execution of the
convicted murderers, whose crimes and their in
vestigation have so much occupied the attention
this community, rumors are becoming more rife,
from day to day, in reference to the probability of
their meeting the fate which the sentence of the law
has awarded them. Whatever may be the accu-
racy of the various reports, which are disturbing
the public mind, there appears to be no doubt that
efforts of no common character continue to be
made to extort from the good feeling and the polii-
cal sympathies of Governor Hicks, a Communication
of the sentence of death pronounced against GAM
BRILL. All the influence of the political Clubs
unhappily almost irresistible in the party of which
the Governor is the head-has been mlarshaed in
behalf Of their convicted associate and the future
fortunes of all the numerous asprants for party ia
vor seem to have become more or less involved in
the result of the application which these clubs are
pressing. Such is the wretched state of political
affairs among us; and so entirely do the demands
of public justice and the plainest principles of right
and wrong appear to have become merged in the
triumph of party and the promotion of partizans,
that we shall not be surprised at any result Con-
gressiona and other nominations are freely talked
OF as in the market-ther price to be the success
with which those who pretend to them may urge
the claim on which the Governor is to pass. We
trust that Gov. Hicks may remain firm to the duty
which he has thus far, manfuly discharged in
the premises; but, whether he shall do so or not
the very nature and extent of the appeals made
to him. and the considerations and influences by
which they are backed, are enough to startle even
those who have been most disposed to regard the
reign of terror as over among US.
