Newton Beers New Play.

Newton Beers spectacular production
of "Enoch Arden" will be given at Har-
per's theatre tonight. An exchange says:
1t is easy to predict success where so
much talent and labor is employed in the
presentation of a production. and, where
the subject chosen admits of every attri-
butte, scenic and dramatic, being called
into full force and effect. Tennyson's
idyll in itself is one of the most beautiful,
sympathetic and touching poetry paint
lngs in the English language. So finely
and well has the master hand of the poet
laureate lined his characters. that the
story leaves an indelible impression on
the mind and taxes all the powers of the
actor to produce q counterpart of Tenny.

Well and Happy.

I take pleasure in submitting
the following statement of facts
that you may know the great ben
eft that has resulted from the use
of your Specific in the case of my
little daughter now ten years of
age. The child, when two years
of age, had a severe attack of scar
let fever, which left her with a
shattered constitution. Among
other evidences of impaired nutri-
ton was what the doctors called
softening of the bones. In her
fifth year she happened to
slight accident which resulted in
the dislocation of her hip joint,
and, from the irritation thus set
up, terrible assesses of the hip
ensued. The assesses, despite
the medical treatment that could
be obtained, remained for three
discharging continuously.

The Old Homestead.

Many of those who once crossed
its threshold so eagerly have gone.
The playground of the little girl
is gone. The sweet twilight of a
summers eve as it fingered on a
beautiful landscape of hill and
dale, river and city, is gone.
Slight threads of gray are sprink-
led amid the once black locks of
youth and beauty, and the loving
heart reaches out into the past and
gropes for scenes that will never
come again. Gone is the singing
of the birds and the gay laughter
of childhood. The fondly cherish
ed dream of hallowed old age
has disappeared in the mists of
morning; but the roar of the city
is still the same, only louder; the
tread of the feet is still the same
only more solid; the hum of life
is still the same, only greater: and
the burden of the days are still
the same, only more of them, and
heavier. And so the old things of
the past gave way to the new, and
the scenes of a busy life, Like
specters grim and TALL" walk
through the corridors of memory
and startle us with the onward
fight of time.-Ex.

in physics ar absurdity, but in the

the only lever to lift him and per-

Sixty Years Progress.

This world does move, and tina
too with great rappidity, bu
whether always on the right line
or in the right direction is alto
gether another question. 1t il
difficult, if not impossible, for the
average man to appreciate the
wonderful changes of the worlds
affairs during the last fifty or sixty
years. Changes in the relation Of
nations one toward another, and
each in its own internal affairs: in
the civil, social, and religious char
acter of the people-changes in
literature, arts, and science, in
habits of thought, modes of living,
facilities for inter-communication
apd.@me.st everything else that
affects man as man. Sixty years
ago there was not foot of railway
in the world. There were a few
tramways in England, but of rail
roads, such as we now have, there
were none. Now the estimate is,
there are in the world 100000
miles of direct line. with double.
triple, quadruple side-tracks and
switches enough to make 100000
more, or in all half a million miles
of line, and as every line has two
rails, there are one million miles
of single rail-enough to go forty
times around the globe.
1t is within the recollection of
many now living when there was
not steamship nor a steamboat
in the world, and as to telegraphy,
telephones, monographs, and
divers other utilitarian inventions,
they are al. of modern date. In
fact, there have been more useful
discoveries, inventions, contrivau-
ces and devices for tile advanc-
ment of the material interest of
man in the last sixty years than in
five hundred years before, and
these go on increasingly year af-
ter year. When they will cease, if
ever, who can tell.
1t may be well in this connec-
ton to remind the reader that
these improvements have sprung
up under the light of a christian
civilization, and all, or nearly all,
under the light and influence of
the Protestant form of Christia-
anity. Very little, if any, advance
ment has taken place outside of
Protestant influence, yet how little
is this appreciated as compared
with its merits. What portion of
our officers, legislative, Judicial,
and executive, really "fear God

pie, and like to the people whom
