THE BRVfBSEL POST 3 NELLIE'S THANKSGIVING, 1 guess I don't know 'boot the "plenty," I goose I don't care 'bout the "peace ;" I'll he thankful, perhaps, when I'm twenty, Though now I'm just aunt's little niece. Rut, if you mold eon oar now baby, You'd bo thtntkfal, i. goose, in a Inmate. It's the ounningest bundle ! And, maybe, I'll show you bow I eau unpin 1t, Do you think would God let me bo thankful Right hero in the ohuroh for my brother, While they're singing 'bout "anthems in temples," "Laudations," and ono thing or 'notber ? IN T1IE BAGGAGE -CAR. The rushing train is speeding for the East, With many people hurrying to spend Thanksgiving in the old New England homes. The chill November night has settled down, Inwrapping in its ever -darkening fold The silrnt farms that late were whizzing by. The father puts his little ones to sleep, All but the baby ; baby will not go. Ho wails and Cries ; will not be comforted. The tired folks in vain lay clown to rest ; They give it o'or and try to bo resigned. At last one man breaks out, hie patience gone "v, o can't stand this all night. What ails the thing For goodness' sake, where is its mother gone ?" The father, calm and hopeless, sadly said ; "She's in her collie, in the baggago•car." WBAT TEE MOTHERS SAY. Yes, I know there are stable on my carpet, The traces of small muddy boots; And I see your fair tapestry glowing, And spotless with blossoms and fruits. And I know that my walls aro disfigured With prints of small fingers and hands ; And that your own household most truly In immaculate purity stands. And I know that my parlor is littered With many old treasures and toys ; While your own is in daintest order, Unharmed by the presence of boys. And I know that my room is invaded Quito boldly all hours of the day, W .ilo you sit in yours unmolested, And dream the soft quiet away. Yes, I know there are four little bedsides Whorol must stand watchful each night; While you go out in your carriage, And flash in your dresses so bright. Now, I think I'm a neat little woman ; I like my house orderly, too ; And I'm fond of all dainty belongings ; Yet, would not change places with you. No, keep your fair home with its order, Its freedom from bother and noise ; And keep your own fanciful leisure, But give me my four splendid boys. TETE ROAD TO GROWN-UP LAND. "Good•morrow, good•morrow, my bright- eyed lad, ' Now what may your trouble be ?" "Good -morrow," he answered me, sober and sed ; "Isere is trouble enough for me. Say, which is the road to Grown-up Land - The rhortest, kind stranger, I pray ? For these sideboards all point with a WI - /land, In a dreadfully puzzling way. Timis says : By the Town of Saving a Cent ; Anothert Just follow your Natural Bent ; This points to the Road of Wieely Giving ; And that to the Turnpike of Truly Living ; A fifth straggles off here to Leap -frog Town; And a sixth climbs the hill -slope of High Renown. These leads to the Byways of Bat and Ball, .And the Highways of Courage and Know It All; Then there are the Crossroads of Play and Fun, And the Postroads of Duty.and Things Well Done. Good gracious t how can a boy understand Which way is the shortest to Grown-up Land?" ',Don't fret, my lad, for the roads you zoo Have been traveled by many like you and me; And though each road has a different name, To Grown-up Landthey all of them came, And hour by hour, my boy, you'll find That, little by little, thoy drop behind ; Till, almost before you know it, you stand On the breezy summits of Grown-up Land."

It numbers more old stub• scribes 011 its lista ieubscribers who " could not do without the paper") than any othorjournal in the ooun- lry, and it hits become a maxim rare ly disproved, "once a subscriber al- ways a subscriber" to this magnificent weekly. It is ably edited anti wants of all classes of readers are well stip• plied, while it retains that marked individuality of purpose which alone is the stamp of true success in either the prose or pulpit. In the worde of its prospoelcne, it is truly "indepond- out ; frankly oomuaonds that which is good, and fearlessly condemns all that is evil iu political or social life," It is n journal of 8 pages, 7 col. umus to the page, and is printed in excellent type, on good. paper, u mat. ter of great importance to readers. The following description of the gen- eral contents of its pages and various departments will not bo amiss. On page 1, over a column of excel- lent poetry is found, and right here we will say that the Detroit Commer- cial Advertiser has a grand reputa- tion among lovers of poetic gems. Short articles, humorous or wise, and occasionally a short story, make this page very interesting. Pege 2 ie the story page proper . At thie season the stories are concluded in the same number, but with the first week of November a find continues) story will be commenced, running through two or three months. Page 8 is by far the moot unique and popular depart- ment wo have ever Been in any paper. It is called The Sitting -Room, and at its round table all are welcome who have any suoject of merit or Value to present for the discussion or edification of their fellow readers. It was added as a feature of the pa- per in 1882 and at once became wonderfully popular with the sub- scribers, Pages 4 and 5 are the edi- torial and news pages and greatly add to the value of the paper as a disseminator of all the important news of the day. Page 6 is filled with pleasing and instructive reading for the Young People. Page 7 is the market page, wherein are given cur- rent prices of all the important De• troit markets, as well as elsewhere. Page 8 is the Farmstead depart- ment and contains a vast amount of useful information for the farmer, the dairyman, the stook and poultry raiser. In 1868 the publisher adopted the plan of giving his subscribers cash premiums inetead of maps, chromes, etc. The plan met with such con- tinued popularity that there has been an annual award to .the subscribers of the Commercial Advertiser every year since. The Award of Premiums is taken in entire oharge by a com- mittee of subscribers appointed from those present at the time of the award. The 23rd Annual Award will consist of $40,000 among 100,- 000 subscribers, A sample copy and prospectus will be mailedfres to any address on receipt of a postal card request by the publisher, William H. Burk, Detroit, Michigan. THINGS '►PORT$ KNOWING. A. half teaspoonful of soda in half a cup of water will relieve sick head- ache caused by indigestion. A. fever patient is cooled off and made comfortable by frequent spong- ing with warm soda water. Warm mustard water should be given to one who has accidently swal- lowed poison ; this will cause vomit- ing ; after that give a cup of strong coffee, that will counteract the re- maining effects. When going from a warm room out into the cold air close your mouth and breathe through your nose to prevent taking cold. A hard cold is ofttimes cured by a clip of hot lemonade taken at bed• time, as it produces perspiration. Consumptive night sweats may be arrested by sponging the body at night in salt and water. Teething children may bo relieved of convulsions by being immersed in a warm bath, end cold water applied to the head. For croup or pneumon- ia bruise raw onions, lay on a cloth, with powdered math camphor sprink- led over it, and apply to chest and lungs, and cover with hot flannel. This is a euro ouro if taken in time. For nervous headache, when the pain is over the eyes and the temples aro throbbing, apply cloths wet with cold water to the head, and hot baths to the feet.

After leaving Wyoming the Wanstead and Watford tickets were taken up. Af- ter leaving Wanetaad, Mr. Hillis was told by the conductor that he should have got off at Wanstead as ins tick• of was for there. Billie said ho had paid 55 cents for a ticket to Watford, and refused to pay more. Ho was was pat off between Wanstead and Watford. The night being wet and very dark, in malciog his way to Wat- ford, be fell through a cattle guard, where he lay till found this morning by the section mon going to work, who brought him to Watford, His opine is injured and several of hie ribs were broken, besides internal in- juries which may prove fatal. A murder was committed Thursday afternoon at the farm of Levi Weber, near the village of Strausberg, about eight miles from Galt, in Waterloo county. Tho murdered person is a young German farm hand, name un• known, about fifteen years of ago, recently from Germany, and bee been working for Mr. Weber for the past six months. The eupposed perpe- trator of the murder is said to be John Oalvin Ravier, a young Eng- lishman, about seventeen years of age, who was brought to Canada as an orphan, and was formerly employ- ed on Mr. Weber's farm, but left about a year ago, He returned Thursday during 14Ir. Weber's ab- sence from home and went to the barn, where he was told the young German boy was working. Upon Mr. Weber's return home he found the murdered boy in the barn, the body covered with chaff, along wound across the forehead and extending down the face was visible, and a broken club near by. Mr. Weber immediately set out to notify the Coroner and find the suspected mur- derer, who was traced to Blair sta- tion, where he took the train for Galt. It was discovered that he left Galt for Harrisburg, making east- ward. Chief McFeggan started after hits, and captured his man at Har- risburg and brought him back to Galt. Mr. Weber states that he cannot assign any motive fox the commission of the crime, as be does not think the supposed murderer and victim ever met each other before Thursday. It is now evident that the pallia- meutary campaign will not pees off in England without serious rioting in many quarters, as party feeling, which already runs high, daily grows more bitter. The Marquis of Lorne, Liberal candidate for Hampstead, went down to Bentford, a town seven miles west of London, to deliver a campaign speech. While addressing the electors a mob assaulted him with rotten eggs, and some of them, gain- ing the platform, emaehed his hat Over .his head. The supporters of the Marquis rushed to his rescue, and a fight ensued. The noble lord now became so thoroughly frightened that he hastily departed from the scene, ran through the streets in a drench- ing rain to the railway station, and immediately departed for London. Meanwhile the row continued. The supporters of the marquis being se- verely handled, and becoming dis- couraged at their desertion by their champion, finally retreated, leaving their Contestants masters of the field. The latter then seized the platfrom and passed a resolution condemning the policy of the Liberals. When the Queen's son-in-law mode hie appear- ance as Liberal candidate for Hemp- stead it occasioned considerable sur- prise, and when he put forward iu his address advanced Radical opinions, the surprise was greatly increased. He opposed Chamberlain's program of free education and advocated im- mediate 'disestablishment in Scotland. He championed the principles of the free land league, with a view to the encouragement of etibdivision of land suggested that sales of large estates en bloc should be subject to a heavy taxation ; will sales, of land to be di- vided into smaller lots, should be left duty free. As to the house of lords, he hardly went so far as the Hamp- stead Radicals desired, being of opin- ion that that venerable) institution might be amended by the infusion of elected members.

A eommitte° of the Anglican Church Synod has issued a circular asking for subscriptious to augtneut the stipends of poorly -paid preachers. Sixteen thousand dollars is required, At Toronto, ou Thursday, throe eacbol•suatohere were promptly dealt with by tiro P, M, John Tennyson, aged 17, sent down for 8 years'; John Phillips, aged 10, and Arthur Murphy, aged 17, 21 years each. A person named I. Briggs, who claimed to be a slugger and had testi- mouittls as to his ability from J. L. Sullivan, Paddy Ryan, and others of that ills, applied to the Goderieli school board at their last meeting for a situ- ation as a teacher. With regard to his execution, Biel said a few clays ago that if hanged b0 would rise again from the dead af- ter fter three days, but he added that he would prefer living, as ha did not want God to go to the trouble of raising him from the dead. So great has been the demand for the Rsport of the Bureau of Industries concerning labour and wages in this Province that the issue of a second edition hae been rendered necessary. A similary Report for the current year is in contemplation, and employ- ers and employees will be canvassed for the required data at an early day. Au inspection of the pamphlet now leaned will satisfy them that in furnish- ing the information they will run no risk of exposing to the public their private business. A chocking case of moral depravity was given in Toronto on Hallowe'en. On that night the medical students oonsider themselves privileged to do about as they like, and as long as they acted in anything like a half -civilized manner, the police have on that oc- casion left them alone. This year, however, the action of some of them was ouch that if the penetrators be discovered they cannot be punished too severely. The action referred to was the banging of a corpse, taken from the Trinity Medical School, on a hook iu front of a butcher shop. Britain's exports to Canada for the first throe mouths of this year were $700,000 less than in the oorrespond- ing period of 1884 ; and our exports to the same country decreased by $1,- 805,000 for the same period. The de- creases in our exports were mainly in sheep and lambs, 'wheat flour, cheese and fish. In wheat flour alone there was a drop of over one million dol- lars ; although there was a slight in- oreaee in the exports of wheat. The exports of oxen and bulls increased by over one million dollars, but the exports of wood remain stationary. Tenders for the Canadian Pacific Railway bridge at Lachine is likely to be awarded in a day or two. It is understood that tenders have been .sent in by Eli Garrett, of Wilming- ton, Del. ; T. 0. Clarke, of New York ; Frank Moore and 0. Bates, of St. Louis, Mo. ; Robert Reid, of Guelph, and Sandford Fleming. The contract may be awarded as a whole or divided up, the masonry being awarded to one man and superstruc- ture to another, 'The bridge is to be built immediately below the town of Laohiue, and will be about three- quarters of a mile an length. The total cost of the structure will bo in the neighborhood of $1,500,000. The custom which used to bo so common some years ago of clergymen making all kinds of announcements from the pulpit is gradually dying out, although there ate occasional evidences that it is not entirely ob- solete. As long as the announce- ments are assooiated with the affairs of the church and immediately con• cern the congregation, no fault can be found with their publication in this way. But it would be well if the clergy generally would decline to use their pulpits as mere organs of publication for meetings and enter: tainmente which should properly be advertised in the oolums of the news- papers. No better bill boards could be desired by the most enterprising advertiser than the pulpits of tho various churches, but everything has its place and the place for billboards is not in the churches, 11 would surprise our olturah-going people if some Sunday morning on looking up from their pews they discovered the pulpit covered with posters Immune- ing a groat eloaring sale of dry goods or blazoning forth the beauties and cheapness of somebody's three -fifty pants ; but after all thie would not be much more incongruous than pastors making some of the announcements they Aro sow rovirod to 4o, MEAT MARKET, 11 Orel STREET, BEI SMas.s ANDREW CURRIE, Prop'''.
