All the poet thinge are past and over. Am tasks are done and the tears are shed. Yesterday's errors letyesterday cover ; Yesterday's wouuds,which smarted and bled, Are healed with the healing whish night has shed,, Yesterday aow is a part of forever: Bound up in a sheaf, wbiob God holds tight, With glad days, and sad days, and bad days which never Shall visit us more with their bloom and their blight, Their fullness of sunshine or sorrowful night. Let them go, since we cannot relieve them, Cannot nado and cannot atone : God in his mercy receive, forgive them ! Only the new days are our own, To -day is ours, and to -day atone. Here are the skies all burnished brightly, Here is the spent earth all reborn, Hero are the tired limbs springing lightly To face the sun, and to share with the morn In the chrism of dew and the cool of dawn. Every day is a fresh beginning, Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain. And, spite of old sorrow and older sinning, And puzzles forecasted, and possible pain, Take heart with the day, andisbegin again ! THE RIVER OF LIFE. The more we live, more brief appear Onr life's succeeding stages ; A day to childhood seems a year, And years like passing ages. The gladsome oarrent of our youth, Ere passion yet disorders, Steele lingering like a river smooth Along ite grassy borders. But as the careworn cheek grows wan, And sorrow's shafts fly thicker, Ye stars that measure life to man, Why seem your courses quicker ? When joys have lost their bloom and breath And life itself is rapid, Why as we near the falls of Death • Find we its tide more rapid ? It may be strange, yet who would chance Time's course to slower speeding, When, one by one, onr friends have gone And left our bosoms bleeding? Heavcnlgives our years of fading strength Indemnifying fleetness ; And thoseof youth a seeming length Proportioned to their sweetness. DANGEROUS COUNTERFEITS. Counterfeits are always dangerous, mors so that they always closely imi• tate the original in appearance and name: The remarkable success ac- chieved by Nasal Balm as a positive cure for Catarrh and Cold in the bead has induced unprincipled parties to imitate it. The public are cautioned not to be deceived by, nostrums imi- tating Nasal Balm in name and ap- pearance, bearing such names as Nas- al Cream, Nasal Balsam, etc. Ask for Nasal Balm and do not take imi- tation dealers may urge upon -you.

A telegram ;from Middletown,N.Y., says :—News -has been received by his former friends in this . quarter of the. recent tragical and miserable death in - the county almshouse in Paw Paw, Mich., of a man whose eloquence and abilities when in his prime were of the highest order and who was once the idol and admiration of the great throngs that flocked to his ministra- tions. Reference is had to the Rey Augustus Littlejohn, who is remem- bered all through the interior of New York as the most powerful and suc- ccasful religious revivalist of his day. He belonged to the branch of the Littlejohn family which has furnished so many eminent recruits to the Church and Bar. In his earlier career he was a successful contractor on pub- lic works, but, moved by a sudden impulse, he abandoned secular pur- suits and entered the Christian minis. try, He accepted no regular charge, but moved from town to town, con- ducting revivals as they were carried on in those days, with the accompani- ment of scenes of'wild excitement and noisy fervor. IIe and John B.Gough often labored together in the same fields. •For a number of years he made his home in Chenango County, where be married an estimablle lady. In the progress of his labors through the neighboring towns he built up new churches and revived decaying ones, and brought thousands of converts to the alter. But finally there came a cloud upon his fame. Rumors because rife of immoralties, which took such form that his wife left him and sued for a divorce, and be found it advis- able to seek new fields of labor in the West. He engaged in revival work in Indiana, and there, after a time,he was again accused of gross immorali- ties and of drunkenness,and was ulti- mately, after a sensational trial,found guilty and degraded from the pulpit. The next heard of him was in the role of a reformed drunkard, lecturing on temperance through Michigan. When old age and an impairment of his once brilliant faculties overtook him he was constrained to seek a refuge in an almshouse. One morning last week he was found dead and cold on the frozen ground under the window of . the, room he had occupied. Whether he threw himself out of the window with suicidal intent or fell out accidentally is an unsolved my- stery. His remains were buried in a pauper's grave.

Nota ntatnx [Wile„ from tits town of Ord is situate,: Inv seboolbouee tlf Mira Valley schenil 4600The house is 4 sanell fr,Inle structure, and. the nearest dweijn g to it is At least one-half trifle .distant. 9 huradoy morning, Jan, 1.2, when the blizzard came, there were in the little school- house liaise Minnie Freeman, the teacher, yet in her teens, and thirteen pupils between the ages of 6 and 15 years. The .children were wrought up to the highest pitch of excitement by the fury of the storm. In the midst of the teacher's assUrance that all would be well a terrible gust of wigd struck the building,tbe windows rattled, the house shook and the door of the structure sy _tofu! frSl[tt. .its.. binges. It was then the young teacher realized the neceseity of preparing for emergencies. With an exhibition of rare judgment she gathered her little brood together, and securing a coil of strong heavy twine,began with the largest one and tied the children together by the arms and bodies,three abreast. This completed, she huddled her charges atound the stove and awaited the pleasure of the storm king. Its furious work came sooner than was expected. The terrific gale, sweeping everything before it, struck the building and carried away, in the twinkling of an eye, the entire roof of the structure, leaving the frightened little ones exposed to the elements. The time for prompt action had ar- rived, but the plucky teacher was equal to the emergency. Talking the youngest and frailestof her charge in her arms, she tied the remaining env of the twine around her own body, and with all the words of en- couragement she could muster the 'courageous teacher started with her " team" of frightened little ones out into the fury of the storm. Those who have braved the terrors of a Ne- braska blizzard need not be told that It required courage to enable a young girl to breast those furies, having in her keeping the livee of thirteen little ones and the happiness of thirteen homes. ThSse'who felt and suffered from the effects of Thursday's storm need not be told that the act of that young girl was one from which strong men might quail. Selecting her way carefully, following in the course of the storm, the brave girl led her little charges through snow -drifts and blinding blizzard, now cautioning them about their steps, now encourag- ing them to cheerfulness, and all the way herself bearing an additional burden of somebody's darling, urging them into renewed efforts. And thus it was that after a wearisome journey of three-quarters of a mile, through all the fury a storm could muster, the little band reached the threshold of a farm horse♦ where they received a hearty welcome. At the house where they found shelter one of the children made its home, and if the eyes of a loving mother filled with tears as she pressed her little one to her heart they were not dried when she gave to the braye young teacher an embrace in which was embodied all the love and gratitude within a mother's heart. It is safe to say that the subsequent re- ception of Miss Freeman in all the homes whose little ones she had re- scued perhaps from death was equally as warm as that recorded in the first instance.—Omaha Bee.

By all druggists OUR LETTER BOX ANTI -SCOTT TACTICS. To the Editor of the Clinton New Era. Srra,—It seems, from an article recent- ly published in the News -Record, that the liquor dealers, brewers, etc., are not to be blamed for the barn burning, the shooting and dynamite affrays that have taken place in Scott Act counties, and this is proved by their offering to supplement the offers of reward made by different towns for the apprehension and conviction of the guilty parties. No doubt this announcement,at this parti- cular juncture, it being near the polling time, is made to pull the wooll over the eyes of those who may ,not be very de- cided as to their futureatction. What are the facts? In almost every, if not all the' cases whore the perpetrators have thus far been detected, it has been found they w ere the tools of tho liquor party. Nor is this to be considered a matter of surprise, when we remember the doctrine advocated by liquor dealers during the Scott Act campaigns. These depredations are the legitimate fruitage of the seed sown through the medium of the whiskey literature so industriously circulated at that time. Read the fol- lowing verbatim extracts : " It is occa- sional informers will be found to lay in- formations before over -zealous J. Ps., but the treatment these informers get, when found out, generally has a whole- some and deterrent effect on such a ne- farious calling." Read the following also, as another sample, issued about the same time : " Down with prohibi- tion ! Bribe it down ! Bowie -knife it down 1 Bullet it down ! If it should be passed by these pestilent creatures having it in charge, let them look out for the Torch and Axe of the Avengers. * They will read the price of their burning business houses. If ballots cannot defeat it, it will be defeated by bullae." Tho reason why these men would now pose as the defenders of law and ordor is apparent to every ono. If they are not the perpetrators, why should they think it necessary, any more than any other business men, to offer rewards for the detection and punishment of such miserable creatures. They are, per- haps unknowingly, but assuredly has - toning their doom by such tactics. I wonder who will be found out to be the guilty ones in connection with the recent Bayfield disgrace and outrage ? Let the whiskey advocates rise and ex- plain. Yours truly, TRUE TEMPERANCE. Hullett, Jan. 30th, 1888. PERTH NEWS. The Baptists of Stratford are ar• ranging for the erection of a new church in that city the coming sum- mer, to cost $10,000.

Dublin people are hoping that Ur Kidd will effect a satisfactory settlement so that these important industries may not be idle long, as Dublin cannot afford to have them at a etandetilt. The matter of Stretford'e share of the indebtedness for the erection of the county buildings has at last been settled in accordance with the ac- count rendered; "$8,600: At a meet- ing of the city finance cimmittee a conclusion was arrived at to settle on that belie, and a cheque for the amount was sent to the county council. On Wednesday morning the stable of W. R. Clayton, Listowel, occupied by John Connolly, was burned. A valuable span of horses, belonging to Mr Connolly, was burned to deatb,to- gether with harness, feed, etc. Loss an building, $160; ineul a nee in City of London for $60. Loss on contents, $300 ; no insurance. Origin of fire supposed to be incendiary. On Friday another old settler of Mitchell passed to bis long home, in the person of Mr, James Bartlett. He had been ailing a long time with a cancer, which had .gtown_inwardly, and was fully aware for months past that death was rapidly approaching, yet he had no fear, but waited with Christian resignation the will of Hint, who doeth all things for the best. We received notice on Monday from Mr Clarkson, the trustees of the Kidd estate, that the liabilities are as follows: direct, $23,920; indirect, $5,000; preferred, *861 ; making a total of $35,787. The assets consist of: stock, $16,078; book accounts, $5,- 971 ; real essate, $500; total $22,549 At a meeeing of the creditors held a week ago, the inspectors were instruct- ed to try arrange a settlement with Mr Kidd , by way of compromise, which it is likely will be accom• plished shortly. The barn and outbuildings of Fred Denstead, lot 32. con. 13, Ellice town- ship, were consumed by fire on Tues- day;morning, together with their con- tents, consisting of 16 head of cattle, 3 horses ; 100 bushels of wheat, 50 bushels of pease, 70 bushels of barley and about 5 tons of hay. The cause of the fire is supposed to be incend- iarism, as none of the family were up at he time, the fire was first seen by the neighbors. Insurance in the Perth Mutual for $1,200-8600 on buildings and $600 on contents. A couple of toughs arrived in Lis- towel on Thursday with a horse and cutter, which they disposed of there for $11. The transaction was got wind of by Constable Osborne, who with Constable Bulmer arrested them at a late hour on Thursday night and placed them in the lock-up. Enough was gleaned from them to satisfy the Constable that they had come from Oxford county, and upon telegraph- ing to several points a reply was re- ceived from Constable Healey, of Norwich, who reached Listowel on Saturday and identified all the pro• perty that was forthcoming at the time as having been stolen from resi- dents of Norwich, Wednesday morning ChietHarring- ton, of Stratford, was aroused out of hie bed at 6 o'clock by a young man from the atone town, in search of an errant sister. His visitor said that the young woman, who is but 15 left her home on Tuesday and was known to have driven to Stratford with a young maa,presumably with the pur- pose of getting married. The chief soon found that the pair bad reached the city, -had hired some one to take the St. Marys rig home, and had left for Toronto, to which the young man belongs. The parties are all respect- able, and the young man's intentions believed to be honorable, the only ob jection of the parents being on the score of the girl's age. Love,however, laughs at such light objections, and the young lady hadevidently made lip her mind to wed the man of her choice.

Thousands all over the land testify to the merits of this medicine. Mrs. Sarah Burroughs, of 248 Eighth street, South Boston, writes : "My hus- band has taken Ayer'a Sarsaparilla, for Dyspepsia and torpid liver, and has been greatly benefited." A Confirmed Dyspeptic. C. Cantorburj, of 141 Franklin at., Boston, Mass., writes, that, suffering for years from Indigestion, be was at last induced to try Ayers,Sarsaparilla. and, by its use, was entirely cured. Mrs. Joseph Aubin, of High street, Holyoke, Mass., suffered for over a year from Dyspepsia, so that she could not eat substantial food, became very weak, and was unable to caro for her family. Neither the medicines prescribed by physicians, nor any of the remedies advertised for the euro of Dyspepsia, helped her, until she commenced the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. °a Three bottles. of. -this. --medicine." slio writes, - "cured mo," Ayer's Sarsaparilla, PREPARED nv Dr: J.
