was so far from being excited or dis tracted that the thought of being so struck me as no less abs urd than the thought of man getting irritated in summer while sitting beside of a persis- tently babbling brook. It did not seem that that tumult of the people had anything to do with me personally; and while it was going on and raging it seemed almost like the sound of a | storm at sea, or of the wind among the trees, which l, in connection with all nature, had my share of, but which did not belong to me particularly, and afterwards when I went to Glasgow,
 where there is a great deal of ship building and where for commercial reasons there, is great deal of South ern sympathy, had the same feeling. 1 made my preparation on the day l spoke and never came into this room in more truly "revival" frame of mind than when the evening came, 1 W ent on the platform there. And it was the same at Edinburgh. When l came to Liverpool the scene of all the hardest labor I performed during my absence; here 1 waded; here the Red Sea closed on me. and l had to swim through to the other shore, the wheels of my chariot coming off, and the chariot dragging heavily at the bottom, and though was exhausted in body, and all used up, like ship master who for two hours and half in violent gale. has been obliged to bawl out his commands necessarily, vet I never lost the feeling of com passio on. felt as royal as prince and looked down on the audience as a prince would look down on the sports of children. And when the men did the most outrageously insulting things, they did not insult me. The taunts, the jeers, the whistlings, the yellings, the cutting in two of my sentences, or, when I began them, ending them in the most comical manner; the spelling of sentiments and turning my own words back on me, and this not once, nor twice, but straight through for two hours and half, in way that l must pronounce utterly in unfair and ungentlemanly, these things never for a moment disturbed me. felt all the time that had a great parcel of child ren there and that was, as 1t were, a nurse, and was managing them; and I had the feeling of kindness and con- passion and sorrow for them from be- ginning to end.-[H.

EZRA PIERCE.

Ezra Pierce, after a painful illness of several months, passed away at his late home. He leaves to mourn his loss devoted wife, an only brother, c. B. Pierce, and wife, their family of two sons and three daughters. He will also be missed by large circle of friends as he was man of very so- cial nature and very much attached to his native town. He was born in South Britain, December 4, 1S42. He was a member of the Legislature in 1872 and was chosen by his townsmen to other offices of trust and responsibility, all of which have been filled to their full approval. We thank the kind friends who sent the beautiful flowers, tokens of friendship which we prize. These lines seem appropriate. Over the river they beacon to me Loved ones who've crossed to the fur
 ther side;
 The gleam of thelr snowy robes l see, But their voices are drowned by the flashing tide. And none return from those quiet
 shores. ... Who cross with the boatmen cold and
 pale;
 We hear the dip of the golden oar, And catch a gleam of the, snowy sail, And lo! they have passed from the
 yearning heart, ~. They cross the stream and are gone
 for aye;
 We may not sunder the veil apart That hides from our vision the gates
 of day;
 We only know that their barques no
 more,
 May sail with ours Der life's stormy
 sea;
 Yet somehwere l know, on the unseen
 shore,
 They watch and beckon and wait for And ] sit and think when the sunset t/gold
 Is flushing river, and hill, and shore l shall one day stand by the water cold, And list for the sound of the boatmen's
 oar;
 I shall watch for a gleam of the flap
 ping sail; I shall hear the boat as it gains the
 strand;
 I shall pass from sight with the boat
 man pale To the better shore of the spirit-land. I shall know the loved who have gone
 before.
 And joyfully sweet will the meeting be, When over the river, the peaceful riv-

 The angel of Death shall carry me.

HENRY

When l came to Manchester rom
 knew from the moment saw the committee who met me at the cars, by the way they looked, what was on their mind; for l had received some intimation from the papers that there was storm brewing; and when these gentlemen, after driving to the hotel, asked to see me a few moments before retiring. l sad: If you mean this row in the streets, do not give yourselves any concern, am ready for it. We despatched the little matter of business in less than five minutes. prepared the next day a formal pro- gram of my speech; and l never shall forget my ride with the two or three gentlemen that accompanied me to the hall at the hour appointed for the lec-
 ture. It was raining a little and l re- member the shadowy look that every
 thing had as passed down the streets.
 l recollect saying to myself "I am going to I know not what" and l call to mind the prayer that silently went up from my heart all the way. It was simply this that I might be a witness for that which should please God, without re- gard to men, and especially without regard to myself. It was not what we sometimes experience, "a perception of what is right and struggle to set at it. I was in the feeling already, and it was out of the experience that prayed for more of it. l was willing to be nothing for the sake of Christ, and my reputation was nothing at all to me. said: If the enemies of God are to triumph over me, and put me to shame here to night, it will be per fectly right. l am willing it should be so, if it be the will of God. In such a condition of spirits, l went into that great Free Trade Hall,. which holds 5000 people; and, next to that in Liver pool the audience here as the most
 difficult to manage of all 1 addressed
 and that being my first public speech in England, it was the most critica period. l saw at once there was team to be driven there such that Ii would not do for the coachman to bt

Pain in the head-pain anywhere, has its cause. Pain is iscongestion, painis blood pressure-nothins else usually. At least, so says Dr. Shoop, and to prove it he has created little pink tablet. That tablet-called Dr. Shoops Headache Tablet coaxes blood pressure away from pain centers. Itseffeetis charming pleasingly delightful. Gently. though safely, it surely equalizes the blood circu lation.
 If you have . headache, it's blood pressure.
 If it's painful periods with women, same cause.
 If you are sleepless restless, nervous, it's blood congestion-blood pressure. That surely is certainty, for Dr. shoop's Headache Tablets stop it in 20 minutes and the tablets simply distribute the unnatural blood pressure.
 Bruise your finger. and doesn't it get red, and swell, and pain youi Of course it does. It's con- restion, blood pressure. You'll find it where pain is-always It's simply Common Sense.
