THE CORONATION OF THE KING.


No great harm could be found in the coronation
perhaps for which preparations are being made
TO take place the 18th of February If this we're
merely 10 serve as an amusement for the King
and to end there without bringing a burden upon
the necks of the people.
The first burden that will rest upon us for this
business will be the loss of our reputation as a
wise government. We have enjoyed this blessing
in the past, in the esteem of enlightened nations,
under the decent rule of the ministers of those
periods We have been termed the wise little
government
Our government has been distinguished not for
its great extent of territory. not for Its numerous
population, for its wealth, nor for its dipIo-
macy abroad, but for its uprightness for carrying
on Its government justly without arrogance. Bot
what will sensible people in other lands think of
this coronation business taking place AS 1t does
many years after the King ascended the throne,
while the country stands in great need of internal
improvements, the government nevertheless eN-
pends great sum for paegent which will make
no profitable retnrn, which will not improve the
minds of the people, nor be blessing TO the
kOyQl family A piece of business which will
bring upon mocking and reproach from enligh-
tened minds, and loss of respect by the wise every
where, II they truly appreciate the nature of the
business Ii is perfectly evident also that the
dignity of the throne will not be increas in the
eyes Of foreigners by this work. The stability of
the throne will not be increased by this perform
ance and mol one blessing can be mentioned
which will accrue to the government and the
p-Ope as a result thereof. The expenses are great
and the burden Of these expenses will come uPsu
the people.
All these considerations have been discussed
before in the hs0koI and perhaps it Is useless to
rslearse them. Perhaps some people when they
see the coronation anthem in our next issue
will mistakenly think we have changed our minds.
the affair remains the same This article is not
dictated by the spirit Of bitterness.

BY Universal Accord.

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
efectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tions, where a mild but effectual
eathartic is required.
For sale by all druggists.

THE TWO Sewers.

Death came to the earth, by his side WAS
Spring,
Tney came from Gods own bowers
ana the earth was full of their wandering.
For they both were sowing flowers.
"I SOW" said Spring, 'by the stream and the
wood,
And the village children know
me gay glad time of my own sweet prime
And where my blossoms grow,
Ihere is not spot in the quiet wood
But hath heard the sound of my feet,
Ana the violets come from their solitude
When my tears have made them sweet"
Il SOW" said Death. 'where the hamlet stands,
SOW In the church-yard drear;
drop in the grave with gentle hands,
MY flowers from year to year.
"rhe young and the old go into their rest,
To the sleep that waits them below;
But clasp the children unto my breast,l
And kiss them before 1 CO."
81 sow said Spring, but my flowers decay
When the year turns weak and old,
When the breath of the bleak winds wears
them away,
And they wither and droop in the mould.
DuI tney cOIne again wnen the young earth
feels
The new blood lap in her veins,
When the fountain of wonderful life unseaIs.
And the earth is alive with the rains.o
VI SOW" said Death, "but my flowers unseen
Pass away from the land of men,
Nor sighs nor tears through the long sad years
Ever bring back their bloom again.
But know they are wondrous bright and
fair
In the fields of their high abode;
Your flowers are the flowers that child may
wear,
But mine are the blossoms of God"
Death came to the earth, by his side was Spring;
The two came from Gods own bowers;
One sowed in night and the other in light,
Yet they both were sowing flowers.
