My Dear Sir-Having at various times

medicine called PERUVIAN SYRUP, or
PROTECTED SOL UTION Of PRO-
TuXIDE OF IRON and IN ost cheerfully
recommend 1t. especially TO those who are
suffering from dyspeptic and nervous dis
orders. AS reliabl" and powerful altera-
tive, IL is, think, unsurpassed ant as a
tonic, free from all the Objectionable fea-
lures OF alcoholic remedies, II is most
efficient auxiliary 10 the temperance cause.
one OF the greatest hindrances to the tenn
perance reform at present is, as 1 think,
the medical use of alcoholic stim ulents.
Whatever may be argued as to their ne
cessity In certain cases, we have In the
PERUVIAN SYRUP, a safe and effici-
ent substitute for those dangerous reme-
dies. 1his testimony is given unsolicited, :,
with the hope that some who are not yet

OF The medicine may be induced to give IL
trial Yours truly,

CeJlon Cinnamon Fields.

Our morning was AS usual on first
arrival-taken up by visits: in the after
noon we drove in Sir f. Barnes sociable
through far-famed cinnamon gardens,
which covered upwards of seventeen
thousand acres of land on the coast, the
largest of which are near Colombo. The
plant thri~es best in poor sandy soil
and in a.damp atmosphere; it grows
wild in the woods to the size of large
apple-tree, but when cultivated is never
allowed to grow more than ten or
twelve feetin hight, each plant standing
separate. The leaf is something like
that of the laurel in shape, but of a
lighter color; when it first shoots out it
is red, and changes gradually to green
1t is now Out of blossom, but am told
the flower is white, and appears, when
in full bloom, to cover the whole garden
After hearing so much of the spicy gales
from this island, was much disap-
pointed at not being able to discover the
scent at leasttrrom the plants, i'm passing
through the gardens; there is very
fragrant smelling flower growing under
them, which at first led us into the be-
lief that we sMelt the cinnamon. but we
were soon undeceived On pulling off
8 leaf or twig you perceive the spicy
odor very strongly; but l was surprised
to hear that the flower had little or none.
As cinnamon forms the only consider
able export of Ceylon, it is, of coarse,
preserved with care; by the old Dutch
law, the penalty for cutting a branch
was no less than the loss of hand. at
present, a fine expatiates the same :of

Is particularly favorable to its growth,
being well-sheltered, with high equab!e
temperature, and 81 showers fa)! fire.

Is uneommon-the ground is never
parched, as in most other places it not
unfreq@ently becomes by extreme
drought.

Bank of England Notes.

Few of the persons who handle Bank
of England notes ever think of the
amount Of labor and ingenuity that is
expended on their production. These
notes are made from pure white linen
cuttings, never from rags that have been
worn. They have been manufactured
for nearly POO years Ivy the same family,
the Portals, Protestant refugees. So
carefully is the paper prepared that
even the number of dips into the pulp
made by each workman is registered
on dial by machinery, and the sheets
are carefully counted and booked to
each person through whose hands
they pass. The printing is done by
most curious process in Mr.. Goes de
partment within the bank building.
There is an elaborate arrangement for
securing that no note shall be like any
other in existence. Consequently there
never was duplicate Of Bank of Eng
land note, except by forgery. Accord
ing to the City Press the stock of paid
notes Of seven years is about 100000
Sn number, and they fill $4,000 boxes,
which if placed side by side would reach
three miles. The notes, placed in
Pile. would be eight miles high or if
joined end to end, would form ribbon
1900 miles long their superficial ex-
tent is more than that Of Hyde Park
their original value was over ,OO0, GO,
and their weight over 112 tons.

Mrs. Dolan. What was her surprise to
see her own lost pin, the gift of dear
friend, glistening in the moonlight, as
Tom held it toward her
elbow good of you, Tom, to bring it
to me"
Her voice faltered little as she
spoke, for Della Jay, one of the big and
big-hearted girls, too, had been offered
snuff, since school, by Jim White; and
she told him she'd bet poor Tom Dolan
didn't have any till he (Jim) put it in
his desk. And Jim didn't deny it, only
laughed, and said Tom was used to be-
ing licked and didn't mind it ut all.
Della had waxed indignant, as she
went on, and had made her teacher
rather uncomfortable.
Tom was SO pleased to have Miss
Wilton praise him, that he didn't run
away directly, as he had planned to do,
but stood pulling at rag on his jacket
till he pulled il of, while Miss Wilton
considered what to do next. She couldn't
apologize for having whipped the wrong
boy. That would never do, of course.
Money was the best balm for his wound
ed spirit it,, indeed, he were not, as
Jim White said, too used to blows to
care.
"What shall pay your she ssked
fun bling for her purse. For once she
was stupid, in her turn.
Tom answered steadily, and with n
ring in his voice she had never heard
before:
"Nothin'. l didn't bring it back for
your sake. But because he was treated
bad, was despised and all that; and,
if ne could stand it, Pm going to try
to-"
He broke into a sob aed tried to run
away, but Miss Wilton caught him by
the arm, and said:
Forgive me, child, for not under.
standing YOU"
She won him to tell her the whole
story, and then she did one or two
strange things for one in her position.
She went home with Tom; pacified and
even delighted the poor ignorant moth
er by her account of her son; and
left money for hat, and for more be.
sides.
The next moming she changed Toms
aeat-"for meTtorious conduct" she
todd the scholars.
Then looking straight at jim White
who covered beneath her glance, she
said:
4 ~ believe Jmade mistake in whip
ping Thomas yesterday; but he wished
me to forgive the real offender, be.
cause of Him who said 'Love youl
enemies."
The whole school felt thereafter that
Tom Dolanwas not the same boy in
the teachers view that he had been and
that it was no longer safe to treat him
AS heretofore.
He never was brilliant scholac;, bnt
did his best, and Miss Wilton found her
best for him was different matter from
what it had been.
Later she got position for him as
GRAND boy in store. And so he went
on step by step. Never into any lofty
place in the worlds esteem; but the
worlds judgment is not always just, and
"there are last that shall be first" and
such as Tom Dolan will be found to be
of that blessed company.
