family for 4 long time, and want to say to

was anything to equal it, Would to God
that every afflicted woman in our land knew
of its wonderful virtues and curative powers
as do. l have used great deal of it since
the birth of my last child, about a year and
a half ago, and do think had it not been
for this valuable medicine would have
been
BED-RIDDEN FOR LIFE!
But thanks to Il kind Providence, was di.
rected to its use, and my life and health
have been spared me. If my means would
admit of it | would never be without it in
my house.
! have recommended it to q number of
my friends, and without exception they
have all been wonderfully relieved and
cured. give this Endorsement without So
licitation and freely, for the benefit of the
suffering ones of my sex.

FASHIONS.

A lovely evening dress i. Of pale green
shrouded in canary lace looped with
punches Of small pink flowers.
Two styles Of wraps seem certain to be-
popular this autumn, the cloth maptle with
long fronts, and the short jacket with loose
sacque fronts.
Jerseys are again imported for autumn
wear, and are cut with as many seams as a
tailor basque. They are quite short and
pointed in front, still shorter on the hips,
and have anarrow square position pleating
behind.
This is to be checkered season In
the matter of WOODEN fabrics, judging ly
the endless lines and grades Of plaided and
blocked patterns which strew the counters
and aJorn the shop windows Of exclu-
sive' importers.
Grasshoppers and ants are the latest
fancy for brooches. Some lace pins are
simdly black enamel ant carrying its EGG,
single pearl, by its antenna. The effect
is singularly realistic, the industrious H.
sect being just life size.
The newest hood for evening wear IS
formed of pink silk, covered with cream
lace, and ornamented at the top of the bead
and at the back Of the neck with ribbon
bows. The ends are crossed, and are
thrown over the shoulders.

The Royal Plate.

"A large amount Of very valuable plate
was sent to Osborne from Windsor Castle
for the royal wedding. The necessity oil
bringing everything from London or
Windsor was one Of the most tiresome and
expensive matters connected with the af-
falr; but as to the plate, the lord steward
ought not 10 have allowed it to be taken
to Osborne, where there could be no ade-
quate arrangements for its safe keeping
1t is said that plate to the value of g5O,-
600 was temporarily removed from Wind
scr. The plate there is worth, in round
figures, nearly two millions, and it is all
crown property-which means practically
that it belongs to the nation. If "a single
spoon were lost it would have to be re-
placed by the queen. Full lists are kept
by the lord chamberlain and the lord stew
ard OF the pictures, china, plate and furni-
ture at the royal palaces which belong to
the crown, as distinguished from the pri-
vate property of the queen, and whenever
a crown article Of any kind is moved from
one place to another memorandum Of the
fact is registered, in order that in due
course it may be reclaimed for the palace
to which it properly belongs. Pictures
are often transferred, but hitherto the
crown plate has always been kept at Wind
sor. When there is State banquet at the
castle the plate on the tables is usually
worth at least 9250,000, and considering
the superhuman cleverness of thieves in
these days, it rnay be hoped there will be
no more such slovenly arrangements as
characterized the recent wedding. It is
said that the Windsor crown plate was
actually deposited. The queen can dispose
as she pleases Of her own goods and chat
ties, but if this plate had been stolen the
loss would have fallen on the country; for
although it would, of course, been given
out that the things we're to be replaced, yet
we may be sure, judging from the past,
that there would have been lot Of pro-
crastination and hucus-p ocus, with the re-
suit that nothing more would thave been
heared about the matter-London Truth,

Physical and Mental Needs.

If we wish the body to be robust aud
vigorous we must exercise the muscles and
give the blood healthy play through the.
various channels of vitality. If we wish
the mind to be strong and active, we must
give thought free range. But an excess
of action for the body prostrates it, and it
must have rest, or disease will follow, The
same rule applies to the mind; it must have
sleep under severe tension of thought, and
if it is not sought, insanity soon follows,
Rest for the body, sleep for the mind, if
the health and vigor Of both should be
preserved.
Some persons toll forever until death
brings the needed rest, and others tax the
brain until it ceases to perform its healthy
functions Christ slept when on earth and
commanded his diciples to do the same, as
if it were one of natures wise and kind
provisions to secure health.
A large amount of rest and sleep is the
basis Of sound mind and body, and we
should seek and enjoy these all-esSential
auxiliaries to long life and great mental
excellence.
We have known persons who allowed
themselves no relaxation from study; who
kept book ever ready to fill up little in-
tervals of time that should have been de-
voted to sleep or some rational and innocent
diversions; but those overcharged minds
soon lost their elasticity, and long before
the allotted time for decay of their pow
ers, sank into imbecility or pitiable inani-
ton.
Examples of an abuse of physical pow
ers are often presented in individuals whose
early decrepitude gives unequivocal signs
of some criminal trespass upon the laws
that establish and perpetuate health, The
truly wise will listen to the teachings of
nature, and heed her counsel.

THE LOVED AND LOST.

Church Of England Magazine.
1.-THE loved and lostp Why do we call them lost
Because we miss them from onward road!
Gods unseen angel o'er our pathway crossed,
Looked on us ALL and loving them the most,
straightway relieved them from life's weary load.
They are not lost they are within the door
That shuts out loss and every hurtful thing
With angels bright and loved ones gone before,
In their Redeemer's presence evermore
And God Himself their Lord and Judge and King.
And this we call "loss." 0 selfish sorrow
Ofselfsh hearts we of little faith
Let us look round an argument to borrow,
Why we in patience should await the morrow
That surely must succeed this night of death.
Ave, look upon this dreary desert path,
The thorns and thstles wheresoe'r we turn;
What trials and what tears, what wrongs and wrath,
What struggles and what strife the journey hath
They have escaped from these; and lol we mourn.
Ask the poor sailor when the wreck is done
Who with his treasures strove the shore to reach,
While with the raging wave he battled on,
Was it not joy, where every joy seemed gone,
To see his loved ones landed on the beach?
A poor wayfarer, leading by the hand
little child had halted by the well
To wash from off her feet the clingng sand.
And tell the tired boy of that bright land
Where long journey past they longed to dwell.
When 10 the Lord, who many mansions had
Drew near and looked upon the suffering twain
Then, pitying, spake: "Give-me the little lad;
In strength renewed, and glorious beauty clad,
I'll bring him with me when come again."
Did she make answer selfishly and wrong?-
may but the woes feel he too must sharer'
Or rather. bursting into grateful song,
She went her way, rejoicing and made strong
To struggle on since he was freed from care.
We will do likewise; death has made no breach
In love and sympathy, in hope and trust;
No outward sign or sound our ears can reach
But there's an inward, spiritual speech
That greets US still, though mortal tongues be dust
1t bids us do the work that they laid down
Take up the songs where they broke off the strain;
So journeying till we reach the heavenly town
Where are laid up our treasures and our crown,
And our lost loved ones will be found again.
