How To BE Beautiful.

Many hundred thousand dollars are
annually expended by ladies, for ''arti-
fetal" appliances TO hide the shrunken
and wasted form, or the sallow skin,
blotches, or liver spots, which are due
to female weakness, dyspepsia, torpid
liver, and constipation. If small per
cent. of this sum were invested in DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, ladies
would soon really be what they now
seem to be. 1t readily corrects those
weaknesses and diseases upon which
emaciation depend. 1t cures dyspepsia
by toning up the system, and when
used in connection with DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, speedily
Overcomes all Irregularities of the liver
and bowels. No "bloom of youth" no
"beautifier of the comp lexion," can i'm
part such permanent beauty of face and
form as DIR. Pierce's health-giving
Favorite Prescription.

Perils Of the ses

,r,,. sI,;n Zach Ard. from London 10
Melbourne, foundered off the Austra-
1;an coast on June lst, and out oil sew
enteen passengers and large crew
only two persons ever got ashore MISS
EveIipe Carmichael and Midshipman |
Thomas Pearce. As the morning
cleared somewhat, the cliffs were seen
close TO the ship, and the captain gave
or,iers to have the boats lowered and
the passengers placed in them. by
this time the seas were breaking clean
over the ship, and she was pumping
very heavily. Pearce, with hve others
were clearing away the port Iifeooat
and the grips having been cut anu tue
chocks knocked out, they were just
about hooking the tackles on when
heavy sea struck her, and knocked the
boat over the side, and all with her.
Pearce got ashore by the help parity OIL
the boat, partly OF table. Shortly al
ter the ship struck, the cabin filled with
water, but most if not all of the passen-
gers were up and dressed. Six lie
| belts were obtained from the lazerettee,
but the tags were in such bad condltioh
that il took some time to fasten them
on. Four ladies and two men wore
them. Miss Eveline and Miss RaDy
| Carmichael ran up the companion lad-
der. and at the deck the captain SAID,
s.Jf YOU are saved, let my wife know
died like British sailOr-at my post.
He was only married six weeks before
he left London. \ sea swept the ladies'
overheard. Miss Eveline found that
she had hold of a hencoop; she was
loined by Reginald Jones and Arthur
Mitchell. They heard the screams -oi
the persons still on board; the ship
was sinking fast. The three iloated
into the entrance of the gorge, ana then
the two men abandoned the hencoOp
for a spar, but they were caught by
the undertow and carried out to sea-
Miss Carmichael, who must now have
been long time in water, caught sight
of Pearce. on shore, and screamed out
to him. He bravely swan out, found
that she had become insensible, ana
got her safely 10 land. He then climb
ed to the top of the cliffs in search OF
assistance. He struck a path and fol-
lowed it for several hours until he fell
in with a man employed on Glenample
station. The two men returned TO the
shore. got down Ihe cliffs with the help
of a rope, and then found to their hor-
ror that the young lady had strayed
away. They did not discovered her
till long after dark. Even then she
was only found by accident, for she lay
in a comatose state under some bushes.
The midship man and the lady were the
ouly survivors.

Toms Gold DOllGr.-Tom Caldwell
threw stone at Deacon listers horse
as the old deacon was riding by the
other day. The stone struck the horse,
the horse kicked, the deacOn's hat and
wig was knocked of into the mud, and
the deacon himself came very near be-
ing thrown. Tom didn't exactly mean
TO do 1t, although he did cast the stone,
and did join with the rough boys
in laughing heartily at the sad plight
into WHICH the deacon was put by this
reckles sness.
"Good for you, TOmv said a red
vested and red-nosed horse jockey, who
It "a Dy the livery stable door, and saw
the catastrophe to Deacon Ulster.
"IIere's dollar Tom. It's worth that
TO see pious pride put into a pickle"
And the jockey reaching out a gold dol
lar and offered it TO Tom. Tom was
surprised. He hesitated a moment, but
could not resist the prize, and SO, pock-
citing the dollar, joined in the jockeys
Jolly laugh at the deacon's expense,
and then walked on, feeling little
ashamed of himself, and yet covering
his conviction with the thought of how
many nice things gold dollar would
buy.
Tom had gone but few steps when
he heard a voice on the other side of the
street calling him. He raised his eyes
and saw Doctor Maybin, an old Quaker.
standing in his office, and beczonii g
him to come over.
"what did the fool pay thee for thy
folly, Thomas?" asked the old man.
Tom blushed. His fingers fumbled
in his pockets, and the gold dollar
seemed TO burn them more than the hot
blushes burned his cheeks and brow.
He answered nothing.
"Didst thou sell thyself, Thomas ?'
asked the old Doctor.
Still the condemned boy was speech
less.
"Thoughtlessly, thou diGst do a fool
ish thing. Mischievcusly, thou didst
laugh with fools at thine own wrong.
COwardly, thou didst shrink from con
Tossing thy wrong. COvetously, thou
didst accept bit of gold for bad deed
and canst thou now rejoice in gold thus
ill-gotten?"
Toms blue eyes, brimful of tears.
gazed into the " white face of the indig-
nant old man.
"I am ashamed of thee." said the
Doctor.
IL am of myself" said Tom, flinging
the gold piece to the pavement, and
bursting into flood of tears.
''Then pick up that gold; go to the
giver; place it again in his hand, and
say, Il blush that / dared to touch it;
then go to Deacon listers and confess
thy wrong"
81 will" said Tom, as he picked up
advised.

lSterry Hunt has maintained that be-
cause the gold leads of Nova Scotia
conform generally with the beds in
which they occur, the auriferous
quartz veins are interstratified with
the argillaceous rocks of the district.
II. S. Poole does not agree with this
view. He has classified the leads in
these groups according to their relation
to the containing rocks, collected the
results of mining experience, and ar
rived at the conclusion that the leads
are true veins from the evidences pre-
sented by the irregularity of planes OF
contact between slate and quartz, the
crushed state of the slate on some foot
walls, irregularity of mineral contents,
the termination of the leads, the
effect of contemporary dislocation, and
the influence of strings and offshoots
on the richness of leads.

DR.. ManoUrrieg. French physician,
has published some novel observations
on a disease peculiar to bank clerks.
IT has been noticed for years that
bankers clerks, after handling for
some DAYS in succession large quanti-
ties OF silver fiye-franc pieces, suffer
from disorders of the respiratory and
digestive organs. These have been
ascribed TO dark-greenish metallic
dust, which is raised by taking the
coins from the bags where they are
generally kept, weighing them and
putting them back. This dust impreg-
mates the atmosphere of the room,
blackens the skin, and penetrates into
the respiratory and digestive tracts,
together with the air and saliva. In
the wears 1872 and 1874. when tine
money which had been paid by France
to Prussia as tribute as returned to
France through mercantile transact
ions, the clerks spent an unusually
long time in handling the coins, which
had not been taken out of their bags
for some years, and the affection was
more marked than ever. Owing to
the peculiar circumstances under
which this affection has been observed, |,
there can be no doubt as 10 its being
due partly to the copper (verdigris) =
and partly to the oXidized state of the
silver: both metals are used in the
| coinage of the five-franc pieces, in the
proportion of nine of silver and
one-tenth of copper.

ORCHARD GRASS SEEDs.-A bushel to
the acre, with clover makes excellent
pasture or hay upon light soil as well
as heavy. We now have field of 1t in
its third year. and though there is still
much clover among it, the cows seem
to give the clover the go by and eat all
the time on the orchard grass. We i'll
tend to let it stand ten years, if it will
do so, and we have no doubt it will,
and keep it for a permanent pasture.
This season we notice that green and
blue grass are springing up in place of
the clover, and these promise TO add TO
the value of the pasture. Such per-
manent pastures requires top dressing
with manure in winter TO keep them
luxurious. By such management an
excellent permanent pasture can be
made on our lightest soils. Let it be
tried.

YOUTHS COLUMN.

A Pagfy in a Gdrret 1t was the last
week In April and everybody was
planning May parties. Many Dios-
som on messy knobs in the WOODS lay
with wide-oeen eyes, wondering why
nobody came TO claim it, Bu. with the
day Of May Day came also disappoint-
meat and vexation TO many happy HI
tie hearts, for such a perfect do1RpoW
of rain as there was, and no falntest
sign of the clouds lifting.
"Oh, dear" sighed Marion Day.
"Nhat shall we do? Was there ever
anything so provoking!"
"I'm sorry Tor you" her mother an
swered. "Of course there can De no
going into the woods, but have been
thinking YOU might have few friends
here. Tom shall harness the ponies
and go for them, and you shall have the
garret all 10 yourselves and picnic
there"
Marion pressed back the rising tears
at these words. for the garrett was
most delightful place, especially In
rainy day, when the drops made such
merry pattering on the roof. 1t had
four large windows, so there were no

they pleased, disturbing no one. You

hats, satin slippers with high heels ano

century ago. Such pretty masquerades

with no one to see them but the doves

no such man as Tam O'Shanter ever lived.
but Burns has made it 50 real that one
seems to be at the place where these things
veritably occurred. 1t is marvellous that a
Han with few strokes of his pen can make
AN old bridge immortal, so that men will
come in streaming hundreds from all parts
of the English-speaking world to see it.
The old Alioway kirk is roofless now, and
a new one has been erected on the opposite
side of the road, but nobody looks at the
new structure. The steps of the old one
are worn deep by pilgrims feet.
