JOHN MOSSBACK'S SOLILOQUY.
I was once a well•off farmer ; now I'm
worried and in debt,
I've got poor a payin taxes, but I have to
pay 'em yet.
There's a tax on food and clothing, poor
and scanty though they be,
But Sir John says, "Oh I be thankful for
they' aint no tax on tea I"
There's a mortgage an my homestead,
an the interest aint all paid,
I've worked hard from lady morning till
the eveuing's dewy shade,
Wife and mo dont follow fashions and I
dont get on the spree,
Yet I'm poor, although they tell me that
"tber' aint no tax 011 tea 1"
In my house there's no planner, no rich
carpets cm the floor,
And the tariff wouldn't let me put a door-
bell on the door,
And my wife cant gib a buret, that would
bo a lnxures,
But she says "we must be thankful, for
Cher' aint no tax on tea l"
I cant buy a bit of cotton but I have to
pay a tux,
And they levy on my woodpile by a dooby
on the axe,
And the salt that's in any porridge isn't
now admitted free,
But the Lord bo thanked for one thing :
that "thee' atilt no tax on tea I"
Once I tried to buy a picture ; it was
"lithographed," they said ;
Twenty odd per cent. of dooty knocked
that bargain on the head,
Had it been a great oil paintiu, worth
ten thousand, then, you see,
'Twould been a 'work of art,' they said,
and been admitted free.
When I'm workin on the back lob I
would often like to know
Jilt how long 'twill be till sunset, or till
dinner horn will blow ;
So S thenghb a watch I'd purchase, but
the man spoke up, says he :
"Dooty's twenty-five on watehee, but we
gin in diamonds free 1"
Eight tenths of a cent on sugar, twenty-
five per oent. on boots,
Doesn't help my wheat oe barley, or in -
incase the pries of roots ;
Diamonde will nob cut my madder,
though they might bo nine to see ;
And my only crumb of contort is "bher'
lint no tax on tea 1'
Everything a farmer uses, everything a
farmer wears—
Hand-rake, oradle, scythe or pitchfork—
each its load of doety bears.
This is called 'the poor man's tariff,' for
it keeps him poor you see,
And they tell him to be thankful that
"thud whit n0 lax on tea I"
My theca boys have gone and left me, in
a foreign land to roam ;
Said they had no Euler prospeeto in their
Childhood's rural home,
Our best blood, out brightest treasure,
gain far away we see, _
Though we've done our beet to ha'p 'sin,
(311otigh "thee' aint no tax on tea d"
Once they told tie that Consumers didn't
have the tax to pay,
That it made the things all cheaper ;
that it worked the other any ;
And I've thought the thing all over and
I'm blessed if I can see;
If that's so, then what's the reason that
"thee mint ne tax en tea I"
Wife and I aro gestin feeble, soon we'll t
both be g0iu where
Taxes do nob W0rrit people ; tariff's do t
not enter there;

But they'll roller aur poor epirite right
into oterniteo
By n tax on shrouds and °chine, to get

Temperance,
Great Britain, with 35,000,000 people,
spends as much for intoxicating beverages
as the United States with 05,000,000.
But her bequests for religious, sduoabion•
al and charitable purposes, exclusive of
Baron Hirsch's benefactions, reached
$15,500,000, as against $7,000,000 in 6be
United States.
Why should this "sum of all villainies"
receive any more protection from law
than gambling and the social evil, with
which it is always associated and of
which it is the parent vice ? The
licensing of en evil is in iteelf an evil.
Every vote oast for liaenne is a complicity
with it and its fruits, We are all coming
with Dr. Ouylerto see that license is not
only a "ghastly failure," but with the
great aburabes to recognize that "it can.
not be licensed without sin" With that
conviction in our minds not as an
"ignorant conscientiousness," but as a
demonstrated truth, we shall no longer
tamper with expediency, but be ready
for duty.
The following is the money, cost of the
liquor drauk in the United States in 1891.
This statement is exclusive of "moon-
shine whiskey," smuggled liquor, home•
made ciders and wines. Cost, ono billion,
two hundred and twentytbree million,
seven hundred and four thousand, three
hundred and seventy-one dollars, or in
figures, $1,223,704,871, or $20 each for
every man, woman and child in the
United States. Bow long can a nation
stand this fearful destruotion of the peo-
ple's earnings ? One year's whisky bill
amounts to the whole amount of reduo.
tion in the national debt for 25 years.
The total expense of the United States
Government in 1801 was $487,021,318.
The drink•bill for the same year was
three times that amount. The earnings
of all the railways in the sante year was
$834,000,000, one•fourth of the drink bill ;
the tariff revenue for import, $210,500,-
000, one fifth of the drink bill ; the ag-
gregate capital of all the United States
bunks, one-half of the drink bill ; the
earnings in '91 of all the banks were less
than one•fifbaenth of the drink bill.
Everybody must allow that this money
was worse than wasted.

An attempt was made Sunday night

A colonist who has .recently returned
front South Africa gives some interesting
information as to the mode of warfare
carried an by the Mantaboles, in company
with the other Zulu tribes. As a rule,
they attack in the early dawn, when the
savage's eyesight is sufficient but the
Beropsan's inadequate. They advance
in horn•shaped formation, with the ob.
3001 of outflanking the enemy and getting
at his rear. When within fifty y,ttds
they hurl their assegais, and then make
a determined rush. Maclaine guns are
too much for thorn, lint they will charge
1 right up to the sarthwo, Its when defend•
ed with rides Duly, and if the Europeans
become unsteady they alight easily get
within a fortified camp. As It rule two
repulses cheek their ardor, but they
seldom desist altogether until they have
made one final attempt to tante the white
rnsn in the rear. Innen -.country the
Mantaboles would not be formidable if
they out numbered the company's police
by four or five to one, but in broken
ground they would take some settling.

011ampi0115, Direotum 011d linaoot, for a
purse of $5,000, was trotted 011 Fleetwood
Park last Thursday, and resu'ted in en
easy victory for Direatnm, and in none of
the three heats was the rade ever in dan-
ger. The track was fu excellent oondf.
tion, When the great'rivale first made
their appearance they were greeted with
tumultuous cheering. lidly drew the
role for Diroctum, and after two prelim•
inary worse the pair getaway by splen-
did start. Just seventeen seconds after-
ward Masoot made a bad brealt, and
when the quarter 3015 was 1'e6O11ecl a gap
of two longths was between the two horses
but coming to the half•mile pole Mascot
let out a link and soon lapped Direotum,
but ooming up the hill Mascot again
broke, Dlrentnm forged ahead, taking a
Lead of four lengths, and when the stallion
mune into the home stretch Kelly simply
urged the horse along and won easily by
a length, greeted with wild applause.
When the word was given for the sannnrl
hent the pair were sent away on the fleet
attempt. Doming to the first quarter
Direoton had gained a length, but man•
ing to the half.milo pole the gelding had
lapped Dirsokim, but just as soon as the
horses had reached the hill it began to

generally, that nervous energy or
nervous impulses which pass
along the nerve fibres, were only
other names for electricity.
This seemingly plausible state-
ment was accepted for a time,
but has been completely aban-
doned since it has been proved
that the nerves are not good con-
ductors of electricity,aud that the
velocity of a nervous impulse is
but 100 feet per second—which
is very much slower than that
of electricity. It is now gener-
ally agreed that nervous energy,
or what we are pleased to call
nerve fluid, is a wondrous, a
mysterious force, in which dwells
life itself.
A very eminent specialist, who
has studied profoundly the work-
ings of the nervous system for
the last twenty-five years, has
lately demonstrated that two-
thirds of all our ailments and
chronic diseases are duo to de-
ranged nerve centres within or at
the base of the brain.
All know that an injury to the
spinal cord will cause paralysis
to the body below the injured
point. The reason for this is,
that the nerve force is prevented
by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion.
When food is taken into the
stomach; it comes in contact
with numberless nerve fibres in
the wall of this organ which at
once send a nervous impulse to
the nerve centres which control
the stomach, notifying them of
the presence of food ; whereupon
the nerve centres send down a
supply of nerve force or nerve
fluid, to at once begin the opera-
tion of digestion. But let the
nerve centres which control the
stomach be deranged and they
will not be able to respond with
a sufficient supply of nerve force
to properly digest the food, and,
as a result, indigestion and dys-
pepsia make their appearance.
So it is with the outer organs of
the body, if the nerve centres
which control thew and supply
them with nerve force become
deranged, they are also derang-
ed.
The wonderful success of the
remedy known as the Groat
South American Nervine Tonic
is clue to the fact that it is pre-
pared by one of the most
eminent physicians and special-
ists of 111e age, and is based on
the foregoing scientific discovery
It acts directly on the nerves,
and possesses marvellous powers
for the cure of Nervousness, Ner-
Vous Prostration,Hoaclaclle,Sieep-
lessness, Restlessness; St. Vitus's
Dance, Mental Despondency, Hy-
steria, Heart Disease, Nervous•
nese of Females, Hot Flashes,
Sick Headache. It is also an
absolute specific for all stomach
