True Economy Of Lite.

and one end hanging over the stream, while
pearl ai;er pearl drops from the string beyond

falling, another drops beyond recovery. Our
days drop che stte. another. by our careless
ness, .iLe pearls from string. ss We sail the
sea Of life. Prudence requires wise husband
.ng Of time, to see that none Of these golden
CONS are spent for nothing. The waste OF
time IS s more serious loss than the extrava-

There are thousands who Go nothing but
lounge and csrouse from morning TIL midnight
-3rones in the human hive, WHO consume and
waste he honey that honest workers wear
themselves out in making, and insult the day
by their dissipation and iebauch. There are
ten thousand idle, frivolous creatures who are
doing nothing but consuming and wasting anc

al. honest ,oiler, all would have an abundance
and half Of every day for recreation and cul

with the wasting Of months and years by thou
sands, who have every advantage society cal
offer, and exact as q right every privilege i
affords.

CARDS AND CIoouET.-One day this summer
we rode fifty miles in railway car, seated be-
hind four men, who we're playing with those
awful things OF the devil-cards. They played
euchre until they were tired OF it. They played
a little seven-up, pedro, and occasionally q
triie Of POKER. We never heard dispute
Their bursts Of merriment occasionally at some
unexpected play repeatedly drew our eyes from
our book. They never quarrelled and never
called names once When We got on. at our
station. we sat at our window and watched a
party Of young men and madens play croquet
In fifteen minutes we saw two persons cheat
successfully. We heard the one player who
did not cheat accused O! cheating five times
We beard four distinct. bitter q1arrels. We
heard beautiful young lady tell two lies, and
a meek-looking young man three lies nd
finally, we saw the young girl throw her mslet
against the fence so hardit frightened a horse
the other young girl pounded her mallet sc
bard on the ground that it knocked the buds Of
an apple tree; they both banged into the
house at different doors. and the two young
men looked sheepish, and went of after

This IS q compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails 20 cure the seyerest cases OF Chills
and Fever and The concomitant disorders. such
a remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rous districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine Setdiscoyered for the
cure of Intermttents is, that it contains no qui.
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. IL
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment OF these distressing
disorders, and so unvaIying has been its success
that it has gained the reputation of being infal-
lible. IL can, therefore, be safely recommended
az a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever OF
the south. 1t counteracts the miasmatic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its influ-
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chins,

disease is again contracted

THE QUEBEC ROW
Appears to be Approaching its End, the
Large Force OF Military having The
Effect to Terrify, IL not Paeify
the Strikers.

QUEBEC, June 13.-The strike has the ao-
pearance to-day of terminating quietly. on
account of the pres ence of so large a force of
military In town. The Montreal troops, con-
sisting of the Prince of Wales rifles, the
Victorias, and the Fifth fusileers, arrived by
special train about eight o'clock, and imme-
diately proceeded to the citadel. The differ
ent regiments have been relieving each other
ever since at the citadel and the parliament
house. The mob at Jacques Cartier hall,
about eight O'Clock In the morning, were ad-
dressed by one of their leaders, but they re-
fused to follow him in any numbers, and
most of them dispersed quietly. A small
assemblage of rioters marched as far as the
esplanade this morning, but then dispersed
and hid their flag. considerable mob has
congregated, however, all day near LOUIS
gate, principally, no doubt to watch the
movements of troops back and forth from
the citadel. The fusileers were stationed for
time in the skating rink, but relieved the
other companies, at intervals during the day,
at the parliament house. Two or three ar
rests were made by detectives this morning Of
parties supposed to have been leading In the
riots, W no were conveyed to jail by the mill
tary. An inquest on Beaudier, killed yester-
day, was commenced to-day, and was adj
Journed till tomorrow, after witness proved
the identity of deceased.
