entered upon. new life under somewhat de-

that the friends Of the charity would rally to its
aid. This result has been attained in some de-
gree, but there is still an opportunity for the be-
nevo1ent to express their good Will in substan-

but contrast the difference OF the two countries
in their modes OF assessing property. In En-
gland, all property is assessed upon its prodnc-
tive value. Or from tho income derived there
from. which surely is the correct basia Of all

TwO Foes Of AHeaRth.-Cold and damn are
inimicablc to health, and we generally have an
unwholesOme combination of the two at this
season. They penetrate the skin and integu-
ments and affect the muscular, glandular and
nervous organizations, producing rheumatism,
neuralgia, chiils and fever, and where there is a
tendency to dyspepsia or liver complaint, pro-
vOking an attack Of indigestion or. biliousness.
The best advice that can be given under such
circumstances is to keep the external surface of
the body warmly clothed, and to keep the in
ternal organs in vigorous working order with
the most wholesome and genial Of all tonics
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Gradually but
constantly this famou invigorant is SUPPRESSED
ing the adulterated liquors of commerce, asa
medicinal stimulant and corrective, in all parts
OF the country. 1t will be a happy day for hu-
mainly, and it will surely come, when this pure
restorative shall have taken the place Of raw
spirits as a stimulant in all our public and pri-
vate hospitals. 1t is not, however, merely Il
harmless substitute for the fiery stimulants re
ferred to. Its stimulating properties are not its
chief merits, although in this regard it surpasses
all the unmedicated products of the still, do
nestle or imported. The powerful influence it
exercises over the torpid and toneless stomach,
the disOrdered liver, the constipated bowels, and
the relaxed nerves, render it a positive specific
in dyspepsia, liver complaint. intestinal con
s~tFi6tiOl, nervous weakness, h~ypochondria,
rheumatism and sleeplessness. All chronic
complaints are aggravated by q cold, moist at
mosphere, and it is therefore particularly ne
cessary for those who are afflicted with ailments
Of this nature, whatever their type may be, to
meet this predisposing cause of sickness with q
wholesome antid0tes HOstetter's Bitters should
be taken daily at this season by all persons Ia
boring under chronic ailments that tend to
weaken the system. 3'} ~

The Fadeless Flower.

sympathy is q gem left to glitter amidst tn
ruins of the fall. "-tRiehter.
In mans rough journey through the world,
There is q flower which greetS his eye,
Like that on desert sands unfurlcd
To cheer the traveller passing by.
That flower is not Of earthly mould
'Tis opened by the voice of Heaven;
Twill weep, but yet twill ne'er grow cold,
Fen when the touch of scOrn ia given.
It blooms alike on desert sands,
And on the verdant fruitful plain;
And when it's crushed by cruel hands
Twill weep, then gently smile again.
IT'S found in darkest, midnight gloom,
AS well as i'll the nO0n-day sun;
III pleasures crowd; and Mt the tomb
Its fragrance has but just begun.
It is a gem that glitters bright,
When all things else cOrrOde and die;
To pity is its one delight
It's fragrance, to relieve q sigh,
Though rude winds touch its gentle folds,
Or blasts from earth should dry its leaves;
Yet. for those cruel winds it holds
A heart that for another gricYes.
When cares Cypress and men forsake
Fen should a parents love be dead,
Its hold around the heart twill take,
And pillow there the Outcast head
Ills glad to see another's pleasure,
1t weeps at others woes;
To friends it proves a treasure,
And claims the wrath of foes.
Twill sweetly bloom at Heavens gate,
On the cold day of death,
And round the throne will gently wait.
To give the angel spirit breath.
Then cultivate that heavenly flower,
In storm or sunshine tenderly;
1t grows with calm, yet heavenly power
The fSithless flower of sympathy.
