1t is amazing how many excellent ex-
cuses men make for not Gorgiving the
wrong which is personal to themselves.

THF EFFECT OF MAGlNAuoN.-Tho
case is that Of Henry G. Ershman, residing
near the boundry of the country, near
Sweetwood, who is IL large owner Of iron
ore lands and the poSsessor of considera-
BILE property. Up to within several weeks
ago he was hale and hearty, and, notwth-
Standing his abundance Of this worlds
goods, he generally wore one suit Of
clothes during the week and on Sunday.
Several weeks ago he was startled because
he imagined that very foul smell either
came from his ears or mouth, or the pores
of his skin. He was greatly alarmed, and
imagined he was sinking into gallopng
consumption, and was gradually decaying.
He was unable to sleep, became haggard
and emacaled, and even his friends began
to imagine that his end was near 1T hand.
He dressed himself regularly, and was de-
termined to keep on his feet. He went in
to the fields and into the woods, deter
mined to fight down the disease, but wher
ever he went the same dreadful stencil
and feeling came over him. Finally, an
old wood-chopper met him in the woods
one day, The woodsman had IL long talk
with him. and he stood quite close to ex.
anime him, when the woodsman asked the
sick man for his coat 1t WIS examined.
The woodsman carried it away 20 yards,
and it was discovered that the stencil fol-
lowed. The coat was then thoroughly
examined, and dead mouse was found
in the lining. The mouse had by some
means gotten into the lining of his coat
and died there, and its decaying remains
caused the unpleasant el1luvia. When
this was made known the sufferer gained
courage, and as he slowly realized what
imagination had done, he rallieu and was
soon on II favorable road to health again.

TRUST.
BY j. @. WHITFIELD

The same old battling questions! 0, my friend
1 cannot answer them. In vain send
My soul into the dark where never burn
The lamps of science, nor the natural light
OF Reasons sun and stars l cannot learn
Their great and solemn meanings, nor discern
The awful secrets of the eyes which turn
EvermOre on us through the day and night,
With silent challenge, and a dumb demand
Proffering the riddles of the dead unknown
Like the calm Sphynxes, with their eyes OF stone,
Questioning the centuries from their walls of sand
have no answer for myself or thee,
Save that L learned at my mothers knee;
All is of God that is, and is to be,
And GOD is good" Let this suffice us still,
Resting in childlike trust upon His Will,
Who moveth His great ends unthwartcd by the ill.,

The Nursery.

Parents who are 1T any loss for means to
amuse their little ones, will not go amiss in
carrying home a copy OF The Nursery The
pictures stories, and verses, are all of quail
ity that the young folks " i'll appreciate. The
Nursery was established in 1867 Since that
time many children's magazines have been
started and after fiourishing for brief period,
have closed their career and disappeared
But The Nursery still lives and is as vigorous
and full or life and animation as ever The
secret of its success is an open one. and is
found in its uniform excellence, in its recog-
milton and appreciation of the wants OF sscur
youngest readers and in the judicious man
ner in which those wants are catered for Its
contributors, whether III prose or rhyme,
are evidently acquainted with children, and
understand not only VIVA; is pleasing to
them, but what is suitable for them. The
stories are simple and entertaining, and are
pervaded with healthy human interest,
which absorbs the young reader and iDcul
Gates the moral, without filling the mind with
sickly sentimentalism. The stories in verse
are also delightful to the children, who never
tire of the sin Cling rhyme" The pictures,
too, are numerous and appropriate, as well as
excellent in an artistic sense, and greatly
heighten the enjoyment of the stories BY the
children. In short, the secret of the success
of The Nursery is found between its covers

and are not what they ought to be. At the
same time it -must be admitted that the roads
in the country, which are in horrible con-
dition, interfering very much with the farm
ers, and preventing them from bringing their
produce to market furnish some reason why
outstanding liabilities are not met more
promptly. There is another reason why
collections are slow, and that consists OF the
settled unwillingness of wheat growers 70
