MOFFAT'S LIFE PILLS AND PHR
MIX BlTTERS


NIX BlTTERS
were first used in private practice In 1926. They
introduced to the public in 1885, since which
time their reputation has extended, until they have
sale in of all other Cathartic and Purify
ing Medicines. There is hardly family among
civilized nations who have not personal evidence of
their beneficial effects. Their great success is ow-
ing to their uniform reliability in cases Of Consti-
patton, Bilious and Stomschic diseases, whether of
long or short duration. They are entirely vegeta-
BILE in their composition, and harmless to the gent
lest infant. One ingredient opens the pores of the
skin another is diurctic, and stimulates proper
action of the kidneys third is emolient loosen
ing phlegm and humor from the lungs; other prop
critics are warming and cathartie, and cleanse the
stomach and bowels from unhealthy secretions.
Their combined effect is, to regulate the impaired
functions of the system, and TO produce health 1t
is not asserted Mofat's Pills are cure-alI-that
they viii cure all complaints--but under ordinary
circumstances they may be relied upon to cure
Nervous and sick Headache Costiveness, Dyspep-
STA, Indigestion, Jaundice, Liver and Bilious com
plants, Colds, Scuryy, General Weakness, &c.
They are expressly made for these diseases. Mil
lions upon millions of cures can be cited. In no
single instance has q complaint ever come to our
knowledge, where they have not operated as re-
commended.
The printed circular around each box fully ex-
plains the symptoms and effects of each disease,
specifies treatment, furnishes evidence, dc.

SHIPS AT SEA.

! have ships that went to sea
More than fifty years ago;
None have yet come home to me,
But are sailing to and fro.
have seen them in my sleep,
Plunging through that shoreless deep,
With tsttered sails and battered hulls,
While around them screamed the gulls,
Flying low, flying low.
have wondered why they strsyed
From me, sailing round the world
And I've said, "hslf afraid
That their sails will ne'er be furled."
Grea: the treasures that they hold.
Silks, and plumes, and bars of gold;
While the spices that they bear
Fill with fragrance all the air,
As they sail, as they sail.
All each sailor in the port
Knows that have ships at sea,
Of the waves and winds the sport,
And the sailors pity me.
Oft they come and with me walk,
Cheering me with hopeful talk,
Till put my fears aside,
And, contented, watch the tide
Rise and fall, rise and fall.
l have waited on the piers,
Gazing for them down the bay,
Days and nights for many years,
Till l turned heartsick away.
But the pilots, when they land,
Step and take me by the hand,
Saying, "You will live to see
Your proud vessels come from sea,
One and all, one and all"
So never quite despair,
Nor let hope or courage fail;
And some days, when skies are fair,
Up the bay my ships will sail.
shall buy then all I need
Prints to look at, books to read
Horses, wines, and works of art
Everything except q heart,
That is lost, that is lost.
Once when I was pure and young,
Richer, too, than am now,
Ere a cloud was DER me flung,
Or a wrinkle creased my brow,
There was one whose heart WAS mine;
But she's something now divine;
And though come my ships from sea,
They can bring no heart to me
Eyermore, everm0re.

RENTING AND OWNING FARM.

There is no man more independent than
the owner of well cultivated farm. he is
less beholden to popular sentiment than peo-
pie OF any other calling He has always a
sure support before him without consulting
the opinions or relying upon the custom Of
any one. There is a constant market for all
the surplus he can produce, and he obtains
for ii the current prices without any one de.
manding to know of him his religious or po-
litieal faith.
1t should, therefore, be the object of all
young farmers, who are renters, 10 pursue
such a course as viii insure for them at the
the earliest period farm of their own. This
course will be found not TO lie in frequent
changes, as we think nothing retards the sue
cess Of renter more ruinously than this. tt
avoid this, he should take lease for five or
ten years, and work it with all the care AID
energy as though it were his own. Let the
landlord see clearly thai at the end of each
year the farm is in better condition than at
the beginning the fences are as good the
out-buildiugs suffering no damage, reasona-
bic wear and tear excepted that in every
respect the tenant has done his duty, and
best ofall has found his advantage in it. Such
a person could get the premises at lower
rate than another, who was untried but not
only so, he could have his lease renewed we're
it desirable, or it may be he couId become
owner were the farm for sale and some
landlords, who see so much honesty, skill and
industry applied for a series Of years by his
tenant, would be induced to favor him in the
price of it.
But there is another side to the question
1t is the indisposition oflandlords to lease for
more than one yesr at a time. They say that
if they obtain a bad tenant it is too long if a
good one the lease can be renewed as long as
both parties are agreed. This plan, however,
gives poor encouragement to a tenant who
intends to devote all his energies to the busi-
ness and to do the best for himself and the
landlord. The latter may see proper to sell,
or he may come across some one whom he
thinks he would prefer for a tenant. At least
his tenure is uncertain and Of course discoura-
gipg. A tenant who desires to do well wants to
be assured Of a fair chance TO do so by oc-
cuPying the place for a series of years.
And tits on this erroneous system Of Ieas-
ing that we have so few good tenants on the
one hand and so few capitalists on the other
who invest in land with ayiew to income.
The sooner the system is reformed, the
better it will be for all parties
