ON Sunday evening considerable excitement was
created on Methodist street, in this town, by some
one entering the residence of John Mustard, Esq =,
whilst the family were at church. The neghbuls
saw light as it was being conveyed from room to
room, and some of them, knowing the house was
entirely deserted, proceeded to all investigation, but
on trying the doors, which were l7cked, the light
was extinguished. Mr.. Mustard, on making an
investigation, could miss nothing, and things were
no. materially displaced, except that the light in the
paror had been extinguished and the trap door was
found partially opened. A man was subsequently
seen climbing the fence at the back of the garden

It is Glorious to be Free.

Do not expect to make friends by be-
ing arbitrary, or to retain the love of n
wife or husband by force, tyranny or
jealousy.
Freedom is n glorious thing under
which everybody thrives.
There are isolated cases where huS-
bands are restricted in their best motives
and actions, but with women the ex-
ceptions are those who are free to live
their own lives in their own way.
No man or woman has the right to
say, you shall or you shall not do this
or that, not affecting the basis of truth
which should Hnderlie every life.
Love, warm and selfish, can make its
object an unhappy captive. Require
that your wife or husband shall be true
to sacred vows, but be liberal in little
things. Do you want slave or COM
panion? If the latter, do not absorb the
whole time, life and individuality OF
your mate.
Happiness cannot ensue by imprison-
ment, and no man or woman can be
thoroughly happy if restricted and mar
rOwed down to the individual will or ca
prices of another, without regard to theil
own wishes, tastes and opinions.
Such restrictions not only cause un-
happiness, but are radically wrong
They are offences in the sight of God
who has given TO each a mind and SOU
to develop, for which He holds each ac.
countable. 1t is more than many peo.
pie can do to take proper care of one:
soul. Is there person who is willing
to become responsible for more than hi,
or her life-work?
If not, then do not assume, even tC
your wife or husband, to dictate as you
would TO a bound slave, through their feal
or love of peace, cramping and warpine
their lives, often subverting noble in
tentions to base uses.-Eha ORTIZ.

Powerful Tonic,

Promoting the Appetite and InvIgorating the
whole Digestive Apparatus, thus building up
and strengthening the system, while At the
same time the volatile principle, being alb
sorbed in the blood, acts specifically on the
rheumatic Poison, removing it from the circu-
lation and system.
There are few remedies known TO the Medical
Profession which will remove the Rheumatic
Poison from the blood, but whose action is so
powerful in depressing the system Of the al
ready enfecbled Rheumatic patient, thkt their
use has TO De abandoned before specific effects
are Obtainable, and hence the want OF success
IN treating this prevalent and consequently
heretofore incurable disease. Unlike these
medicines, already known, the UNk WEED
REMEDY although producing as active and as
powerful effects on the blood and system in re-
moving the Rheumatic Poison, also possesses a
strong Tonic and Recuperating Element which
admits Of its continued use even by the most
delicate and dcbiiitatcd. Thus we have the
combination Tor the first time OF these two
necessary elements In one remedy, which ac-
counts iOrits superior and neveT-iailng curative
effects in rheumatism, Rheumatic GOui and
rheumatic Pains of all kinds.
N r. The DNK WEED REMEDY is paTtic-
ularly APPLICABLE To LADIES, in conSe-
quence OF its Tonic Qualities.
