Letter from Rev. John IcMurray.

JAMES |. FELLOWS, ESQ.
DEAR SIR have recently heard from an
invalid of the great benefit from your Com.
pound Syrup of Hypophosphites, and having
in many other instances marked the most
beneficial results from its use, cannot but
regard its discovery as a matter of devout
thankfuluess to benign Providence.
l have used it considerably myself, and, at
intervals. during several years past, given it
to some members of my family.
l have also recommended it to others, and
invariably found it to be of Essential benefit in
those complaints for which i. is especially
recommended.
In bronchial and other chest affections, in
arresting incipient consumption, and in less
ening the distressing symptoms of this d.
sease in its hopeless stages, as well as in cas-
es of nervous debility, in giving tone to the
system, it is undoubtedly valuable remedy.
l am, dear sir, yours truly,
JOHN MCMUREAY, Methodist Minister.

Great Britain Two Hundred Thousand
Years Ago

In his new book on the glacial period,
Mr.. Geikee gives q gloomy account Of the
former condition OF things IN Northern
Europe. It has been thus epitol0ized
by the Spectator
's'An intensely severe climate pre-
vailed in our hemisphere two hundred
thousand years ago North Britain and
Scandinavia were then united by one
vast system Of glaciers, while the ice ex-
tended down to low ATTITUDES in Eng
Land as well as Oh the Continent,
through the intervention Of the various
mountain ranges. To this Arctic period
OF sterlllty q more genial time succeeded;
plants, such as pine trees, grew in the
south Of England, and animals, such as
the woody rhinoceros and the great
bear, appeared. Gradually, however,
the climate grew warmer, the distinc-
ton between simmer and winter became
less marked, and in consequence, the
northern mammalia Withdrew to more
arctic homes. At last a kind of perpet-
ual summer reigned, while the fauna Of
the country was marked by the intro
ductlon OF the hippopotamus, the ele-
plant, the lion, the tiger, and the by
ena.
Again a series of changes occurs.
IN the reverse order to that Just given,
until an arctic climate had brought all
life to an end. We cannot say how Of
ten such cold and warm periods were
repeated, nor can we be sure in which
OF such warm periods the men that
FASH oned rudeimplements Of stone first
made their appearance. 1t is likely
that men arrived here as early as the
mammoth and the rhinoceros. and his
first coming may have preceded the gla-
clal epoch itself. But it is certain he en-
tered Britain during the last inter-gla
clal period, when there were glaciers in
our mountains and arctic mammalia in
our valleys. He witnessed the north
ern migration of these animals and the
advent of the southern mammalia.
Then came period Of submergence,
when the British Islands were we'll
neigh drowned in the sea. After that
the last cold period begun, and in what
remained of England it is not likely
that paleollthic man stilllingered. But
the British Islands again rose from the
waves ; the treeless land was soon in
vaded by the reindeer, the arctic fox,
and the lemming, and then the neolithic
man entered upon the scene. So vast
lapse Of time separates the men whose
implements were roughly Clipped from
stone, from those whose implements
were Observation-Disclosures and polished.
Gradually the climate still further ina
proved, plants became more numerous
and luxuriant. the animals Of arctic re-
gions were replaced by the OK and the
sheep, while man himself slowly pro-
crossed, until lie discarded stone for
bronze, and ultimately discovered the
mode of working iron. Thus we reach
the dawn OF that human history the re-
cords Of which are more varied, and at
the same time more easily 10 decipher
than the obscure relics of the non-his-
toric ages

Some Temperance Figures.

A correspondent of the Congrega
tionalist says: 'There are 100000 sa-
looms in the country, against 12S, 900
schools, and only $4,000 churches.
Manufacturers and sellers Of strong
drink, $50, O00-twelve times the num-
Der of clergymen, four times the teach

sicians, teachers, and ministers com
bined. In these saloons there are s.
100000 daily customers, one in seven of
the whole population OF these, 1OO,-
900 are annually imprisoned for crime,
at at expense of 800, 100000, and $780,
900 go down to the drunkard's grave,
leaving 100000 beggared orphans.
Grasp these figures An army Of topers,
five abreast, 100 miles in length. A
rank of beggared widows stretching
across the state Of Massachusetts. A
