pleasant remarks by the Rector, each

by the standard bearer. Some Of these
were very pretty, especially the bible,
prayer-book, and cross on a cushion, and a
floral cross or two. Several carols we're
sung by the delighted children, after
which, two and two, they marched around
the church with their banners, while a

THE BISMARCK BROTHERHOOD.
A NEW PLAN IN LIFE INSURANCE.

NEW PLAN IN LIFE INSURANCE.
The Teutonia Life Insurance company,
of Chicago, in connection with the Bis
mark Brotherhood, offers extraordinary
inducements to all who may desire to in
sure either life or health, or both together.
The premiums are so graded as to meet
the wants of all classes, whether rich or
poor, the insured having the choice to
pay his premiums yearly, quarterly,
monthly or weekly.
A payment Of 60 cents per week will
secure to the insured ten dollars per
week, in the event of sickness, and to his
lawful representative 81 900 in the event
of death. A payment of SS cents per
week secures to the insured the $40 week
ly allowance, and the sum Of $500 in the
event of death. Thus, it is seen, that q
very trifing sum, an amount that can be
paid by the poorest in our midst, will Sc,
cure exemption from want in the event OF
sickness, and provision for the loved ones,
in the event the insured should die. We
scarcely need commend to the patronage
of our people an organization that is cal
culated to relieve SO much distress tic
bring competence where, otherwise
there would be suffering and want.
For further particulars apply to Car

Life Insurance company and Bismarl

THE HORSE AND HIS RIDER--It was a
happy day for horse and his rider when
the Mustang Liniment was introduced as
o cure for the external injuries and dis
eases Of both. In the stable, the barn,
and the household this wonderful emolli-
ent is equally usful. If horse is spav-
ined, or foundered, or harness-galled, or
afflicted with any other Of the many sup
CRITICAL ills that equine flesh is heir to, the
Liniment effects permanent cure, and it
is equally efficacious when applied TO
draught oxen or cows suffering from out
ward swellings, strains, or hurts Of any
description. AS an application for bruises,
burns, cuts, rheumatism, stiff joints, neu-
ralgia, sprains, earsche and toothache, it
takes precedence for all other topical rem
edies and is therefore an article of prime
necessity in families. 5-l5eod&wlw.
