PART II.-MATTHEW BERNARD'S FIVE
YEARS.

1iltI lI1--hAl lHEN BERNABD ) t1A l.
YEARS.
"Who is that at the gate, father? some
gentleman, | see," said Bertha to her
father, as she was clearing the dinner table.
The old man arose, and going to the
door, observed a genteely-dressed young
man ascending the steps, who inquired:
Does Walter Rowland live here?"
Il am he; walk in, sir.'
Enterina the spacious dning-roOm, and
being seated, he said: II am Matthew
Bernard formerly clerk at Yardstick's, in
Linton, and am seeking place to work
upon a farm. [ have been referred to you
as a possible place to find work"
At these words, Deacon Rowland placed
his gOlden-bowed spectacles calmly on
and looked SO incredulously at Matthew
for few moments that our friend became
almost ashamed to repeat his object in
calling, and bent his eyes down and sat
gazing at the floor, which almost glisten-
ed in its cleanliness.
Soon the Deacon, who saw the furry
his visitor was in, remarked: 'Mvv young
friend, | am in need of man, but hardly
think a person who has been subject to
such training as you say you have, would
suit my purpose"
Il am aware of my total ignorance of
the duties of a farm laborer, sir; but
am entirely willing, and indeed very anx-
ious, to learn. | will tell you frankly,
Mr.. Rowland I despise the lazy and effem-
mate life of a clerk, and wish to engage
in more enrolling occupation" cour-
ageously said Matthew, gaining control
over himself at the kind and quiet words
Of the deacon.
Are you aware that a man who labors
upon a farm must needs be exposed to all
weather; that the labor itself is monoton-
ous-dull, in a general way; and more
than that, it requires man to lay aside
tastidiOus habits and become what YOU
town folks call a 'Clodhopper:' " asked
the Deacon.
Il have thought so, and after mature de-
liberation, have decided to take hold and
master the calling and trust to God for re
suits, provided can obtain place to do
So was Matthew'S enthusiastic reply.
Young man." said Deacon Rowland
i like that talk Are you willing to do
the best you know how? Are you willing
| to deny yourself many comforts for the
sake OF success"
Il am willing,n was Matthew's brief re-
ply.
How much wages do you expect?" in
Quired Mr., Rowland
what my services are worth, and no

and if you choose to try it at that, you

WILLIAM STOKES, late ship boy on the
British scientific exploring ship Chal-

when off Porto Rico, was buried in the
deepest grave on record. His body, wrap,

wherein Mont Blanc, standing upon an
other peak of equal height would barely

Centaur Liniment,

There is no pain which the Centaur Liniment
will not relieve, no swelling it will not subdue,
and no lameness which it will not cure. This
is strong language, but it Is true. Where the
parts are not gone, its effects are marvellous
1t has produced more cures of rheumatism,
neuralgia, lock-iaw palsy, sprains, swellings,
caked breasts, scads, burns, salt-rheum, ear
ache, &c, upon the human frame, and of strains,
SPAWN, gals, &C., upon animals in one year
than have ali other pretended remedies since
the world began. 1t is a counter-irrtant, an
all-heallng pain rehever. Cripples throw away
their crutches, the lame walk, poisonous bites
are rendered harmless and the wounded are
healed without ii scar. 1t is no humbug. The
recipe is published around each bottle. 1t is
selling as no article ever before sold, and it sells
because it does Just what it pretends to do.
Those who now suffer from rheumatism, pain or
swelling deserve to suffer if they will not use
| Centaur Linment. More than 1000 certificates
| of remarkable cures, including frozen limbs,
chronic-rheunatism, govt, running tumors &C.,
have been received. We will send circular
containing certificates, the recipe, &C., gratis, to
any one requesting it.. One bottle of the yellow
| wrapper Centaur Liniment is worth one hun.
dred dollars for spawned or sweenied horses
and mules, or for screw-worm in sheep. Stock
owners-this iniment is worth your attention
No family should be without Centaur Linment
