As OTHERS SEE Us.-This Is what the Lon
don Morning Post. OF March 9Th, says of the
comparative strength of Canada and England
vs.. the United States "The Dominion could
troops into the field than the great Republic
Itself, and 1t must not be forgotten that il the
frontier Of Canada Ia Of great extent and de-
fenceless, that of the United States Is in the
same position. At the first signal of war the
English feet would cross the Atlantic and
blockade the American ports, and no one
knows better than the secretary Of the navy
at Washington that the Union possesses no
vessels which could compel us to raise the
blockade, or return the compliment by sealing
up our ports" Barring the brag, there is a
good deal Of suggestion in this OF how badly
off the United States are as 10 naval resources.
Eventually, OF course, we would raise an army
and make navy, but we wonld ''catch II" at
frst-in the event OF an almost impossible
war.

Mr.. James Ancrum Simons followed with
an Grafton on the subject: g Let there be
Light" His opening description of chaos and
effect of the eternal words, "Let there be
Light" was fine piece of oratory, and
throughout his address the speaker never lost
the effect which it inspired. The Light Of
Christianity" occupied the closing remarks of
his happy effort, and bespoke the sympathy
and feeling of the applauding audience.
An essay npon Suggestions of another

came next. The logical arrangements OF his
arguments, and the power of analysis and dis

favorable impression produced by the speaker
in bis salutatory addresses.

upon his hearers, who testified their pleasure
apd admiration by frequent bursts of applause.

Ga,~ LAssITUDE AND DEBILITY.-The relaxa-
ton of nervous energy, which creates an indis-
position to physical or mental effort. so strong
as almost to amount to positive inability, and
which we term lassitude, proceeds from q varie-
ty of causes. The principal of these are consti-
tutional debility heat of the atmosphere, coupled
with humidity, climatic changes, and the physi-
cal prostration consequent upon long Illness.
But whatever the cause it must be perfectly
clear that If the nervous system Is unduly relax
cd, something is required to brace It up. That
something is Hosteter's Bitters, which is unlver-
sally recognized as the most complete and speedy
recuperant of the physical forces in existence.
It has been so thoroughly and widely demon,
strated as to be a matter of positive certainty and
familiar knowledge, that the Bitters will not on,
~ rehabiltate the physique, when shattered and
wasted by disease. but will Also If taken sys-
tematicaiy, actually compensate the constitu-
tionally feeble frame for its deficiency Of
strength, and by infusing new life into weak
system, endow it with the health and vigor
which Nature has denied it. The Bitters also
enable the body to resist the enervating inHu-
ences of heat, humidity, and changes from u
temperate to hot climate. 1t is on these ac-
counts specially to be recommended to travellers
and residents in the torrid zone, and persons
subjected to abrupt transitions in temperature.
