CURIOUS EPITAPHs.-A writer i'm the Londor
Scotsman has a crop of cpitaphs, several of which
arc quite fresh.
Here is one on a person named Chest
"Here lies al rest. I do protest,
The one OF them is very COOL,
Who says 50 Of the other ~
On n very old man:
ale lived TO los because he was strong,
100 TO D YOU DONE live rs long"
On Martha Shiel:
"Poor Martha shiel has gone away.
Her would II she could; but her couldn't stay,
Her had 2 bad legs and a baddish cough.
MIR. Proctor's antipathy to medical men did
not save him from the common fate of humanity
"Here lies John Proctor,
Who lived and died without n doctor.p
On Professor Walker who wrote n treatise on
English Particles
"Herc lies Walker. Particles
On Doctor Fuller
"Here lies FulIer's GARTH
On a dustman:
cease to lament his change We must,
He's only gone from dust TO dust"
DIR. Chard's medical practice seems to have
been large if not particularly successful
Who filled the half Of thi. churchyard.n
The following is a quaint mixture ofspecifc in
and sentiment:
"Here lie two babes as dead as nts,
They were too good 70 live with we,
So God took them TO live with Hen
The maker of the following epitaph is clearly
of opinion that Jones' ruling passion will be
strong after death! Its profanity spoils it:
"Here lies the body OF Joseph Jones,
Who ate while he was able
But once DER fed, he dropt down dead,
And fell beneath the table.
When from his tomb TO meet his doom
He'll rise with other sinners,
Since he must dwell in heaven or hell,
He'll choose where he'll get the best dinners"
On a woodman
ain Kent so good ! was looping wood,
And down fe from a tree
1 met with a check and broke my neck,
And 30 death Topped of me-"
There is no evidence that Jonathan Pound was
an lrishman, but his epitaph contains an unnlis-
taxable bull:
Here lies the body Of Jonathan Pound,
Who was lost nj sea and never was found"

Our Order especially recommends itself to the
young. Within the sacred precincts of our Lodge
youth is safe from the allurements and tempta-
tions which the ~votaries of intemperance 80 Sc
ductively throw around it. With us it learns les
sons of wisdom and experience, and is strength
ened by the examples or frmness and resolution
which the older members set before it. Then too,
in the morning of life, in the glow and gladness
of youth, ere a contact with vice and crime has
stained the purity and freshness of the heart, is
the proper time to form habits of sobriety and
temPerance-to take n stand on principle and
truth, and battle through life for the right. Thus
can be laid solid and firm the foundations of n
character, honorable, upright and useful.
Our doors are ever thrown open wide to the
young. We welcome them Of both sexes. and
rejoice to admit and enroll them in our Order. IL
will prove a wall of safety to them, while they
will be n noble example to others. Do not wait
till the freshness of the soul has been DESTROYED
by n contact with the world-with the democrat
izing influences Of alcohol but come now in the
rosy bloom of youths morn, and thou shalt be
with q garland Of honor in age. The
brightest and purest that ever walked among men
invited the young to come to him, because they
illustrated the purity OF heaven, We invite them
TO como and retain that purity Of character and
live for n noble object.
Brethren to reclaim the inebriate we must
awaken his reasoning powers. We must set forth
the moral hideousness Of drunkenness and its deep
social degradation its b~lighting effects on fami-
individual man. We must show how,
like the dread simeon of the desert, it prostitutes
the health physically and enervates the intellect.
We must ~reiterate the great truth that alcohol
Is a poison, in every form. in every disguise. and
is delcterious to man. The discovery Of the art
OF the distillation of spirituous liquors is a re-
marknble epoch in the history of m~an-remarka-
bic rs some terrible calamity-as a dreadful
blight to cling tn him through ages Of suffering

spring IN France is sunny and fair,
spring sweet odors enchant the air.
Into the Louvre's easement wide
Poureth the sunshine's golden tide.
Princess Marguerite standeth there,
Jeweled daisies amid her hair.
She glances down and whispers low.
''Who is the page that waits below?"
"Yon handsome youth with joyous air,
With broad white brow and shining hair.
The page looks up-his eager glance
Rests on the fairest face in France.
Glance answers glance with meaning sweet,
Fair page-fair Princess Marguerite.
The summers scented Zephyrs glide
Into the Louvre's easement wide.
Summer sunshine in golden sheen
Glimners around Queen Catharine.

Is cIasped with daisy wrought of pearls.

What the People Want.

No great public want can long remain
unanswered. When condition of things
has become developed so that great puo-
lie want is realized either in theology, civil
government or physics, that very want or
demand is sure to create a supply. The
hour will create the man, and the need the
thing. Witness the sewing machine, the
reaper. the telegraph. There may be sew
eral abortions. Many may run before thev
are sent, but ultimately humanity will
triumph, and the want be supplied
1t cannot be that medicine will long re-
main what it has been-a mass of intrica-
cies, of which they who know most know
little, while the confident pretender is sure
to be knave. Nor will it be always sys-
tenn so intricate and obscure that only the
priests of the temple can speak it's Ian
guage or interpret its symbols; OF an oracle
so equivocal that he who censults the priest
fares as i'll or worse than he who abjures
the temple altogether. There must ere
long be a system that comes down to the
wants of humanity in every day life-that
meets the. wants of the mother at her
| cradle, the nurse at the bedside, the fathe-
on his journey, or the sailor on the sea
some thing or some system that everybody
can have and everybody can use, to arles
the first invasion of disease and to restore
| the ruddy current of life ere its fountains
are vitiated and its forces undermined.
| Old school medicine, with its crude drug
poisons, can never meet this want. That
is a game long since played out, thing
we'll understood. Equally futile the vaunt-
ed panaceas and elixirs which ig-
norance has begotten and folly pa
Jronized. Tie water-cure can never be
more II n o doubtful expedient or useful
palative in the hands OF the people. No
can the usual form of Homeopathy, bow
ever large its domestic manual, or con-
plete it's assortment of tlnctures and pei
lets, be more than an amusing pastime in
the hands of the people. The system was
never designed for such use, and can never
fiji such place.
But it is contended that HUMPHREY sys
TEN of Specific Homeopathy does NEE
this want. In a small neat case are com
prised some thirty Specific Remedies for al
the more common complaints to which
family are subject and the whcle are SO ar
ranged and simpllfied that any person o
ordinary intelligence can successfully ap
ply them.
They are free from danger or intricacy, ,ant
according to the testimony of thousand
who use them, entirely successful. VIII,
then may not this great problem be consid
cred as solved, and that here is system
that does meet the wants of our common
humanity in everyday life-the great pop
ular system of medication for the relief o
the people and adapted to their wants
Surely nothing can be more hamless thai
these Sugar Pills, nothing more convenien
or successful than these SPECIFICS.
