There never was, and never will be, a
universal panacea, in one remedy, fax all
ills to which flesh is heir—the very nature
of many curatives being such that were
the germs of other and differently seated
diseases rooted in the system of the
patient—what would relieve one ill in
turn would aggravate the other. We
have, however, in Quinine Wine, when
obtainable in a sound unadulterated
state, a remedy for many and grevious ills.

Children Should Slee,. in Dark Ropm..
Children should be aces ;l o' d as soon
as possible to sleep in a dark room. Un-
less they have learned to be afraid of it
the darkness is soothing to the nerves,
and the rest is more profound and refresh-
ing than when there is the unconscious
stimulation of light. It is particularly
desirable for children of a nervous tem-
perament that light should be excluded,
yet it is most often the nervous, sensitive
child whose imagination has been filled
with fears of the shapes the dark may
hide.—Ladies' Home Journal.

hasty peep from the doorway and lift the

close company with a beautifully cut "W,

of fame.
Thomas Hood's "Song of the Shirt"
was one of Punch's groat successes, and at
this table its zuerits were first discussed.
A woman, with a half starved infant at
the breast, was "charged at the Lambeth
police court with pawning her master's
goods, for which she had to give tit secu-
rity. Her husband had died by an accident
and bad loft lief• with two ohildron to sup-
port, and she obtained by her needle fax
the maintenance of bersulf and family
what her master called the 'good living'
of 7 shillings a week." Punch was at
once aglow with redact indignation, and
in an article entitled "Famine and Fash-
ion" proposed an advertisement such as
this fax the firm that employed her:
Holland coats from two and three are shown
By Hunger's beggard fingers neatly sewn,
Embroidered tunics for your infant made—
Tho oyes aro sightless now that worked the
braid.
Rich vests of velvet at this mart appear,
Each one bedimm'd by some poor widow's tear,
And riding habits formed for maid or wife,
All oheap—eye, ladies, cheap as pauper life.
Fax mourning suits this is the fitting mart,
For every garment holp'd to break a heart.
The subject touched Hood more power-
fully perhaps than others, fax his nature
was essentially grave and sympathetic. As
be himself had said, it was ouly fax his
livelihood that ho was a lively Hood, al-
though he was always brimming over
with comicalities, and ho never felt more
deeply the dignity of his profession and
his own force and weight thau when he
was engaged an serious work. So Hood
conjured up his "Song of the Shirt,"
moved by the revelations of poor seam-
stresses who received, as it appeared, 5
farthings a shirt, out of which sum they
had to find their own needles. Mark Lem-
on told Mr. Joseph Hatton tbat Rood had
"accompanied the room with a few lines
in which ho expressed the fear that it was
hardly suitable for Punch and leaving it
between his discretion and the waste pa-
per basket." It had, said Hood, already
been rejected by three papers, and he was
sick of the sight of it. hark Lemon
brought the poem up at the table, where
the majority of the staff protested ugninst
its inclusion in acomia paper, But Leman
was determined, and, after all, was it not
for a Christmas number that he destined
it—a number in which something serious,
pathetic, with a note of pity and love, was
surely not out of place?
The effect of its publication was tremen-
dous. The poem went through the land
like wildfire. Nearly every paper quoted
it, headed by The Times. It was the talk
of the bour, the talk of the country. It
went straight to John Bull's kind, bour-
geois, sympathetic heart, just as Carlyle
declared that Ruskin's truths had "pierced
like arrows" into his, The authorship,
too, was vigorously canvassed witb intense
interest. Dickens, with that keen insight
and critical faculty which bats enabled him
to de-
tect
alone among literary experts
tect the sex of George Eliot, then an un-
known writer, was ono of the few who at
once named the writer of the verses. And
it was well fax Hood that he had proof of
the authorship, fax one of the most. curi-
ous things connected with the poem was
the number of persons who had tbe incom-
prehensible audacity to claim it.
Punch shared handsomely in the glory
of the poet, and its circulation tripled on
the strength of it. And Mrs. Hood, poor
soul, triumphed in her propheoy, for had
she not said and maintained in spite of
each successive rejection from foolish edi-
tors: "Now, mind, Hood, mark any words;
this will tell wouderfally. It is one of the
best things you ever did." And so this
song, which in spite of its defects still
thrills you as you read, achieved suoh a
popularity that for sudden and enthusias-
tic applause its reception has rarely been
equaled. It was soon translated into every
language in Europe. Hood used to laugh
as he wondered how they world render
"seam and gusset and band" into Dutch.
It was printed and sold as catchpennies,
printed on cottou pocket handkerchiefs; it
was illustrated in a thousand ways, and
the greatest triumph of all, which brought
tears of joy to Hood's eyes, before a week
was out a. poor beggar woman came sing-
ing it down the street, the words set to a
simple air of her own.

The great demand for a pleasant, safe
and reliable antidote for all affections of
the throat and lungs is fully met with in
Bickle's Anti -Consumptive Syrup. It is
a purely Vegetable Compound, and acts
promptly and magically in subduing all
coughs, colds, bronchitis, inflammation of
the lungs, etc. It is so palatable that a
child will not refuse it, and it put at a
price that will not exclude the poor from
its benefits.
