SAINT JOHN, N. B.,
December Is, 1892.
GENTLEMEN:
Our daughter, twelve years old,
has always been sick fon weakness
of the stomach and limbs; pain
across her back, and general de-
bility have kept her from school.
We could not get help for her from
the several doctors whom we tried.
The countless medicines we bought
gave her no benefit. Her appetite
never was good; all she ate was a
few mouthfuls of graham bread at
o meal. Last summer we lost all
hope, for we were afraid of her
diving of consumption. Six weeks
ago she could not walk two hun
dred yards without getting very
tired. Now she can walk to the
CITY, two miles, and back, without
the least weariness; her appetite is
such, she relishes anything hearty
man would wish to eat. For the
first time in her life she knows
what health is.
Tho mother says, For twenty-five
years I have had severe sick head
aches. Nothing ever eased them
until Csed
Groder'S Syrup,
which has wrought a permanent
cure. No less than six physicians,
and medicines without number, nave
failed to help me. -,
The father speaks: I have had
dyspepsia almost ever since ! can
remember. Of course was better
sometimes than others, but l have
always suffered with vomiting, dis
tress in the stomach and bowels,
dizziness, and habitual constipation
until | used Groder's Syrup, which
has clesred my head, given me a
good appetite, and my food does
not distress me. Our statements are
all true, and am ready to answer
questions concerning them.

The library law of last winter included
a provision for the benefit of free libra
ries. Towns appropriating money for
the purchase of books for such libraries s
are given by the state 10 per cent of the
sum appropriated. But two towns have
availed themselves of the privilege, Nor
way and Vinalhaven, and the whole
amount given by the state no these towns
is but SIS. This makes but small hole
IN the appropriation, which was $4,000
for the year.
With the advent of December the
steamers of the International line dis
continued calling at Lubec, on each regu-
lar trip, this being in accordance with
the agreement entered into between the
the line, which stipulated for a regular
service from April to December, for a
period of five years. A large amount of
freight has been forwarded and received
in the time since the completion of the
fine wharf property of the company, and
they hope for q big increase next season.
Mr.. Charles Andrews, of Eastport,
while out hunting for deer last Saturday
Perry, made one of the most remarka-
BILE shots on record, having brought
down buck and doe at one discharge
of his rifle. n.The animals were standing
very near each other, when Mr.. Andrews
came unperceived upon them. Aiming
at the nearest he shot it through the
neck, the, bullet passing entirely
other, dropping them both in their
tracks

Some growers have reported excel
lent results from nitrate of soda on
strawberry beds. About 200 pounds
per acre is used, and is applied by mix
ing it with two or three parts of soil.
Eastern farmers each year increase
their supply of chemical fertilizers:
Some of them claim that grass sod
land chemicals make a BETTER and
cheaper dressing for their lands than
stable manure"
At the Vermont Station. where the
hot-water treatment ihas been tested
for smut in oats, is claimed a second
and important consideration in the
possible gain, aside from the destruc'
tion of smut, of decided increase in
Weld from treated seed.
Do not plant flower seed when the
ground is wet. Make the surface as
fine and smooth as possible, cover each
kind of seed to depth proportionate
to its size, but never more than three
or four times the diameter of the seed
Press the soil firmly over the seed.

The Broken Circuit.

The snow is almost gone, but the
lessons it has brought us, it any, need
not 90. Probably some of our readers
in the cities have had treir attention
called to the fact that snow upon the
rails, if it really prevents the contact
of the two iron surfaces, will stop the
electric cars quite as quickly as the re-
moval of the trolley from the wire a.
bove. Has not this something to teach
US that will be of value the year
round q? 1t is not enough to pray and
thereby maintain union with heaven.
We must likewise keep in living, low
ing contact with the earth below, with
the hearts and needs of our fellow-men
as we 90 in and out among them IN
the faithful performance of common
duties. This makes the circuit COM
plete. The taking in is to be only a
prelude to the giving out. Power
comes to US from God, that we may
make things 20 among our neighbors;;
Let there be no coldness, no ice and
snow, separating US from those who
ought to feel the warmth OF our hand.
If there is, our progress at once comes
to an end.-Zion's Herald.

Alcoholic stimulants exhaust the
strength of those who are called to pro-
longed physical endurance in extremes
of heat or cold. What folly, there
fore, to suppose that in moderate tenn
perature there is any real gain from
moderate drinking Lieutenant Gree.
ley testified to the advantages of total
abstinence among his men in the Arc
tic regions; and Henry M. Stanley
bore witness to the danger Of any alco-
holic drinks in Equatorial Africa.
And now Miss Kate Marsden, whose
remarkable journey on sledge and
horseback to visit the outcast Siberian
lepers Is attracting deserved attention,
has similar story to tell of the value
of abstinence and the danger Of alco-
hol. She says, in the preface to her
narrative of her journey: ~ have
never taken any active part in promot-
ing temperance principles, but now
think that the record of my exertions
! in Siberia, without the aid of stimu-
lants, may provo as beneficial to 9TH
ers as If my voice had been raised in
lfurthering the cause for years past. l
| took no alcohol whatever throughout
the journey, except on two occasions
of great exhaustion, when the stimu-
liant only made me worse. I have
therefore good ground for recommend
ing abstinence from alcohol where
much physical endurance is neces-
sary.n If a man says he drinks wine
or Whisky because he likes to, he may
be supposed to tell the simple truth
but if he says he takes these simulants
in order to meet the extremes of
weather, or to give him powers of ply
sical endurance, he is to be pitied for
not knowing any better. A college
athlete must be total atstainer while
in training for contest, even if he
dranks freely, or moderately, at other
times. Yet at that very time his
brother, or his father, is, perhaps,
taking liquor at his meals, or between
meals, to give him strength

At a public meeting in England,
February, DIR. w. E. Darby Sec
retary of the Peace Society remind,
ed his hearers that great change
was passing over public opinion with
regard to this Peace question. The
enormous progress they had made in
the art and science Of warfare had
done much to take all the sentiment
out of war. The Franco-German war
was largely an artillery duel between
the two nations. Rulers hesitated now
to 90 to war, because no one could
forecast the issue. Some people re-
garded the advocates of Peace as mere
dreamers and theorists, urging that
there had been war from the begin
ming of history and would be to the
very close, but there was nothing like
perseverance. There were a number
of Peace Societies on the Continent,
and the marvellous development o1
Peace sentiment in those countries
was very encouraging.-Herald ol

There is a clergyman who talks to
the children of his Church about the
duty of giving up the vanities of this
world, and as most of them belong to
the class that does not own winter nn-
derclothing, this advice seems little
unnecessary. Last Sunday afternoon
he was, as usual, exhorting his hearers
to sacrifice things they did not possess,
and to renounce the famous trio of the
world, the flesh, and devil. Suddenly
it occurred to him that perhaps his
language was not clear to the infant
mind, with view to finding out, he
said /: "I've been telling you of the
pomps and vanities of this life. Now
I want to know who can tell me what
pomps are." There was dead silence
until boy who lisped put up his hand
and remarked "Pleath, thir, pompth

That New Minister.

PinevilJe = John Strongman.
That is what the Bishop said when,
at the closing session of the conference,
be read the appointments. Who is
john Strongman Never heard his
name before. How does he look +?
Is he popular preacher Is he soci-
able? Will the young folks like him?
What is the quantity and quality of
his family? Well, one thing is cer-
tain : he is to be our minister for year,
and we must endure him.
Yes, and that you may do John
Introngman full justice we proceed to
say thing or two. First, do not ex-
pect him to be at all like the brother,
who has just gone. He is built after a
different temperament. His tastes are
different. His education has been a
different style. He grew up in q diff
ferent atmosphere. Strongman Is q.
quiet man acts as though he were
bashful; seems cold; people will say
it is hard to get near him. But wait q
while. You will know him by and
by, and then see In him as great and
true q man as ever breathed. You
may never think him quite as bright
and agreeable as brother Breezy, but
some one else will. All men have
their special afinities. The old pastor
had his. The new one will have his.
And SO in the pulpit. Breezy was
bright and winning told anecdotes,
quoted poetry, was a bit dramatic and
had an energetic way that was very
pleasing to some. Now, Strongman is
another man. He is thoughtful and
deliberate. He is more of q logician
than he himself suspects. He exhorts
less and reasons more. He does not re-
late many affecting incidents. but lays
hold of great truths. That is what q
great many people in your congrega-
ton like. They thought Breezy too
superficial and emotional. They were
not fed. Now they have man who
will furnish full meal every time
give them something to think about.
So If you are not so well pleased, they
will he better pleased.
Give the new minister a welcome
that will warm his heart. Do not
place him on probation for six months.
Make him feel at home right away.
Take hold with energy. Choke every
word of criticism. You have said
good by to brother Breezy. Let him
go. Turn to the new minister. Give
him your heart-all your heart. Be-
lieve in him. Take him up. Pray for
his success. Expect God to use him
for upbuilding of your Zion. Do this
and you are sure to have year of un-
surpassed prosperity and happiness

What Easter Brings.
BY MRS. EMMA LENT.

A light in&he sky that is golden and clear,
A sound Of glad bells falling sweet on the ear,
A trill OF g bird from summer.land come,
A Joy in the heart, and song in the home.
A perfume from roses and lilies full fair,
An anthem Of praise ringing out on the air,
A balm 10 sore hearts that by grief have been
riven,
A key to the grave, and promise Of heaven.
Q Easter, glad Easter! we greet thee again,
And fain would forget ali our sorrow and
pain.
Gethsemane's garden full well have we
known, ..- -"
But now we look up 10 Conquerors throne:
Here pardon and peace for the heart we shall
find,
And solace for sorrow, and strength for the
mind,
For surely and surely our dead shall arise,
When the last Easter morning goldens the
skies.

A little spring had lost It's way
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger scooped we'll,
Where weary man might turn.
He walled 1t IN, and hung, with care,
A ladle at the brink;
He thought not OF the deed he did,
But judged that toll might drink.
He passed again, and 10! the we'll
By summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parched tongues
And saved life beside.
A nameless man, amid crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall q word Of hope and love,
Unstudied, from the heart;
4 whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath,
It raised brother from the dust,
1t saved a soul from death.

But mighty at the last!

People are studying Jesus Christ
through his foaewers. If we act as
if we thought Hin unworthy OF our
trust, are we passing on to others the
invitation of the Spirit and the Bride?
Are we saying, "Come"

mandments, forsaking not His pre-
cepts, are different ways of expressing
the same thing-being obedient.
