THE HURON EPOSITOR,
yet a,t the protnontory where the sharp gusts
of the gale were already ploughing waves
along the tops of the larch.woods surrouncl•
ing Lochgarra House. The affected cheer-
fulness with which he had addresaed the
two sailors on setting forth was gone now ;
his face was pale and worn; the mouth
stern ; the eyes clouded and dark. But he
had his hands full ; for every moment the
weather became more threatening.
" Calurn," he called out, " go below and
fetch me up my oilskins. We are going to
catch something pretty soon."
And so -amid this wild turmoil of driven
skies and black, rolling seas -the Sirene
bore away for the south.
And meanwhile at yonder big buildbag
among the wind-swept larches ? All the
long and terrible night Mary Stanley had
neither slept nor thought of sleeping; she
had not even undressed; she had kept walk-
ing up and down her room in a fever of agi-
tation: or 8 b6 had aat at the table, her
hands clasped over her forehead, striving to
shut out from her memory that dire succes-
sion of scenes, those haunting visions that
seemed to have been burned into her brain.
And if they wotild not go ?-then blindly
and stubbornly would she refuse to admit
that they lent any air of credibility to this
tale that,had been told her. Nay, she abas-
ed herself; and overwhelmed herself. with
reproaches ; and called herself the meanest
of living creatures, in that she could have
believed, even for one frantic momesit, that
hese and malignant fabrication. Why, had
she not known all along of the deadly ani-
mosity that Purdie,for some res,son or other,
bore towards young Ross and all his family!
.Had ehe not herself discovered that previous
charges against Donald Ross owned no foun-
dation other than a rancorous and reckless
repite ? And she had taken the unsupported
testimony of one who appeared to be out of
his mind with malice and hatred against the
man who was her lover, as he and she knew
in their secret hearts? In one lecond of un-
reasoning impulse the had destroyed all
those fair possibilitien that flay within her
graip ; she had rained her life; and wound-
ed to the quick the one that was dearest to
her in all the world. And well she knew
itow proud and relentless he was: he bad
forgiven much, to her and here: but this he
would never forgive. It was more than an
insult; it was a betrayal: what would he
think of her, even if she could go to him,
and make humble confession, and implore
his pardon? How could she explain that
instant of panic following her first indignant
repudiation -then the hapless chance that
brought him face t6 face with her -then the
fierce revolt of a maiden soul against con-
tamination -alas ! all in a sudden bewilder-
ment of error, that could never be atoned
for now. What must he think of her ?-she
kept repeating to herself -of her, faithless,
shameless, who had spurned his loyal trust
;in her? If she went and grovelled in the
very dust before him, and stretched out her
hands towards -him, he would turn away
from her, remorseless and implacable. She
was not worthyof his disdain.
And, nevertheless, upbraid herself as she
might, she still beheld before her aching
eyes those two figures on the Garra bridge,
followed by the disappearance of the girl
into the woods ; and again she saw her down
,at the shore, entreating to be taken out to
Heimra Island, and piercing the silence with
her despair when she was left behind. It
was not Purdie who had shown her these
thinge ; it was of her own knowledge elle
knew them; they had started up before her,
in corroboration of his impeachment, even as
he spoke. But what if she were to accept
his challenge? What if she were to go to
Anna Clannach hereelf ? He had declared
she was his witness -his living witness. If
-there was any foundation for this terrible
story, she would confess the truth : if, as
Mary Stanley stove to convince herself, the
charge wee nothing but a deliberate and
rnalevolentinvention, she would be able to
hurl the black falsehood back ha his teeth.
He had chellenged her to go to Anna
Clannach : to Anna Clannach she would
go.
And then (as the blue -gray light of the
dawn appeared in the windotmpanee) a
sense of her utter helplessness came over
her. That poor, half-witted creature knew
no word of English. And how was she to
appeal to any third person, asking for inter-
vention? How could she demean herself by
repeating such a story, and by admitting
even the possibility of its being true! Nay,
more: might not her motives be miscon-
strued ! What would the third person,
the interpreter, think of these 13hamefaoed
inquiries? That the mistress of Loohgarra
House was moved by an angry jealousy of
that poor wandering waif? That Mary
Stanley and Anna Clennach were in the
position of rivals! Her cheeks burned.
Net in that way could she find the means
of hurling back Purdie's monstrous accusa-
tion.
The white daylight broadened lover land
and lea; and away out yonder was Heiinra
Island, shining all the fairer because of the
black and slow-moving wall of cloud along
the western horizon. What had happened
since yesterday, then? She hardly knew:
she knew only that _her heart lay heavy
within her bosom, and that despair instead
of sleep Reamed to weigh down her. eyelids.
Was it only yesterday that she had been
-away up to Loch Heimra, imagining it once
more a ekkeet of water, and pleasing herself
with the fancy that some afternoon she
would bring her lover along the road with
her, to show him what she had done to make
amends ! Yesterday, when she thought of
him, which was often enough, joy had filled
her whole being, and kindness and gretitude
and.well-wishing to the universal world.
Yesterday he and she were friends and to
look forward to their next meeting was to
her a secret delight which she could dwell
upon, even in talking with strangers. But
now -this new day : what had it brought
her, that she was BO numb and cold and
hopeless ! And what was this that lay so
heavy in her breast?
Suddenly she sprang to her feet -her eyes
staring. A boat was creeping out from the
southernmost headland of Eileen Heimre.
It was a small vessiel with sails: it Was the
girene, she made sure. And was he coming
ashore now -coming straight to Lachgarra
House, as was his wont -coming, in open
add manly faebion, to demand an explana-
tion from her? And even if he were to up-
braii her, and shower anger and scotn upon
her, what then !-so long as he showed him-
self' not wholly unforgiving, so long as he al-
lowed her to epeak. But as she stood at the
window there, intently watchiug the distant
yacht, a slinddering suspicion seemed te
paralyze her. The Shane was not coming
this way at all; it was slowly, gradually,
unmistakably making for the south. And
no sooner bad this fear become a certainty
than the world appeared to swift around
her. There was to be no explanatioe, then?
-not even that torrent of bitter and angry
reproach? Ho was going away-silent,stern,
inexorable? TM, was his answer? He
would not stoop to demand explanations :
he would simply withdraw? It was not
ft that he should mate or match with such
as she.
And at the same moment she caught eight
of Big Archie, who was pulling ont to his
boat, In her terror and despair and hope-
lessness, she did not think twice- her resolu-
tion was formed in a moment; she threw a
ehavr1 over her head and shoulders, and fled
down -stairs and out into the open. Quickly
ehe made her way along the beach.
" Archie !" she called, in the teeth of the
wind. " Archie ! Archie I want you !-
come ashore, quick !"
The heavy -shouldered and heavy -bearded
fisherman, who was still in the smaller boat,
paused on his oars for a second ; and then,
probably understanding more front her ges-
tures than from her words what she wiahed,
be headed round and made for the beach.
-And before he had reached the land she had

called to him again.
"Archie, that is the Sirene-going away
from Heimra ?"
" Yee, indeed, mem," said Archie.
"You must take me out in your lugger,

"There's not a moment to be lost: even if
you can't sail as quick as they can, never

- The Girl I Loved at School.
When the mellow days of autumn wrap the hills in
e. purple haze,
And the sun seems all the dearer for the shortness
- of the days,
Comes a lovely apparition through the mists of
other years,
And I don't kuow why it ie so that my eyes will
swim with teen -
For I bate to judge emotions by the text book's role
and rule,
And I only know I'm thinking of the girl I loved at
school.
Of the deafest, brownest velvet are the sweetly
thoughtful eyes,
And the cheeks are like the roses that our grannies
used to prize -
Not the pampered, pinky blessoms that the hot-
house man deals out
At four dollars for a dozen and with pasteboard
wrapped about -
But. the dear old damask roses that would hold their
e tints till Yule -
duet the sort I used to gather for the girl I loved at
school.
And the lips -no, no ! not ruby ! for the coldness of
the mine
Chills the jewel's burnished surface though the fiery
rays may- shine
In the glaring of the gaslight ; fitter far do they- com-
pare
With the warm glow in yon chalice ; the same frag
ranee lingers there.
The same thrill runs through nie as when on the
organ stool
My lips first pressed the pulsing lips of her I loved at
school.
And the form it growe distincter as the misty vel
grows thin;
And the silver belt that linked her, like the serpent
shutting in
All that earth retained of Heaven, hisses out, "Thou
jealous fool !"
For I parted in my anger from the girl I loved at
school, •
And 1 know not if the fleeting of the purple autumn
days
Brings us nearer to the greeting at the meeting •of
our ways;
If it be I may not meet her till we've creseed the
Stygian pool,
Yet I think that I shall greet her as the girl I loved
at school.

The Bible.
"My mother forced me, by steady daily
teil, to learn long chapters of tho Bible by
heart, as well as Co read it every eyllable
through, aloud, hard names and all, from
Genesis to the Apocalypse, about once a
year, and to that discipline I owe much of
my taste in literature, From Walter Scott's
novels I might easily, as I grew older, have
fallen to others novels; arid Pope might have
perhaps led me to take Johnson's Eoglish,
or Gibbon's as types of language, but, once
knowing the 32d of Deuteronomy, the 119h
Psalm, .the 15th of First Corinthians, the
Sermon on the Mcunt; and most of the
Apocelypse, every syllable by heart, and
having always a way of thinking with my-
self what words meant, it was not possible
for me, even the foolishest times of youth,
to write entirely superficial or formal English.
* * Though I have picked up the elements
of a little further knowledge, and owe not a
little to the teaching of many ,people, this
maternal installation of My mind in that
property of chapters I count very confidently

essential part of all my education." -John

A Few Everyday Things Worth
Remembering.
FROM THE WNW YORK RECORDER.
• It is well to know :
That a knowledge of a few simple house-
hold remedies to be used in emergencies will
often save a great deal of unneceseary pain
and inconvenience.
That in this changeable ciimate it is well
to keep constantly on draught a few infalli-
able remedies for colds.
That the best of these is a foot bath in
water as hot as can be borne and in which
a handful of salt has been dissolved, to be
-taken before retiring, accompanied by a hot
lemonade or an old fashioned bowl of gin-
ger tea. If there is a tightness about the
chest a piece of flannel rubbed with groyne
or kerosene placed next the skin will give
relief.
That a pinch of black pepper wrapped in
cotton and dipped in camphor will cure the
earache, from which obildren suffer so fre-
quently.
That a plaster of tallow and soap will re-
duce the swelliug and relieve the pain of a
bunion. '
That a bottle of shellac is a handy thing
to have about in came of burns and cuts. The
shellac should be immediately applied to the
wound with & brush. It dries quickly and
is almost invisible. This remedy is familiar
to carpenters. A still simpler one consists
of the white of an egg. This dries quickly
and draws the edges of the wound together,
protects it from the air and hastens its heal-
ing, besides being unconspicuous and so
small that it is not such a hindrance in one's
work, as a bit of court plaster would be.
Another remedy for -a burn consists of a
plaster of lard and flour. Soda sprinkled
thickly on a cloth and wet with cold water
will relieve the pain of a burs. Holding
the hand in kerosene is a painful, but effect-
ive remedy for removing nearly all trace of
the burn if a blister has not been raised.
Lard rubbed on cotton and wrapped on the
wound- is a soothing and handy emergency
unguent.
It is also worth knowing that mildew may
be removed by proper treatment. This con-
sists of shaking in a weak solution of chlo-
ride of lime. It should be dissolved in hot
water, strained through a cloth and care-
fully diluted that it may not be strong
enough to injure the fabric. The cloths
must be thoroughly wet before being put in-
to in the solution and allowed, to remain
over night.
That iron rust may be removed from
white geode by the application of oxalic
acid. The cloth ehould be wet before ap-
plying the acid.
That if your plants do not grow so luxuri-
ously at this season as you could wish,
watering them with soapsuds may have a
beneficial effect. Water in which a tea-
spoonful of ammonia has been mixed,to a
quart of water acts as a stimulant.
That saving your strength if you do your
own housework is really worth a little
trouble. A cheap stool high enough to allow
free use of the arms will save much of the
fatigue of ironing, dishwashing, and the
thousand and one things a woman always
stands to do.
That alcohol and kerosene as window
cleansers save a great deal of the strength
usually expended in rubbing the glass.
That the most effectual eradicator of the
omnipresent cockroach is pyrithrum powder,
which is made from a -California root. It
should be puffed into all the cracks and cor-
ners of a room at night and even the air fill-
ed with it, after which the room should be
tightly closed up. In the morning the
reaches may be swept np and burned.
That a little kerosene rubbed on furai-
tura with a flannel rag will quite improve
its appearance.
That kerosene is also the thing with which
to oil the sewing machine when the works
have become gummy and clogged.
That an excellent grease eradicator,which
works to perfection on white or black geode,
but most be used carefully on others that
the colors as well as the grease may not be
removed, is made of two ounces of am-
monia, one ounce of motile soap shavings,
one quart of soft water and a teaspoonful of
saltpeter.
That cologne is quite effective in remov-
ing stains when no benzine or alcohol is at
hand.
What's a Palladium? ,
MR. •I ONES INTERVIEWS THE DICTIONARY
WITH PROFIT.
" Maria," asked Mr. Jones, " what is a
palladium ?"
"Good gracious, Jeptha'how do you sup-
pose I know? It sounds like some kind of
gruel." d
"Well, it isn't, and you ought to know.
Didn't you go to district school thirty days,
while I only went a week? What's the use
of education in the family, if youcan't tell
what a palladium is, that's what ?"
"Where did you hear the word used,
Jeptha ?"
"At the meeting of the Orators' Club,
last night. The lecturer said -oh, I tell
you it was fine -he said that trial by jury,
fellow citizens, is the palladium of our civil
rights."
" Why didn't you ask someone what it
meant?" asked Mrs. Jones, after meditating
in silence a moment.
"Did. I asked a lot of fellows, and one
of them said he thought it meant something
to drink."
"Just what I
Jones.
"'Taint so. It wouldn't make sense. I'm
going to find out if it takes a month. I
may want to fire that word in the council
meeting ,• it would knock them all silly."
"-Look in the dictionary, Jeptha."
" What's the use," answered Mr. Jones,
gloomily, "there ain't any words like that
in a common every -day dictionary."
But he looked, all the same, and when
Mrs. Jones saw him again he was more in-
flated than ever.
"Did you find pal -pal, whatever it is ?
Was it in the dictionary ?"
"It certainly was, and it is there yet,"
retorted Mr. Jones, loftily.
" What did it mean, Jeptha ?"
" It's from the Greek, taken from
the statue of Pales Minerva, that from the
Acropolis looked down on Athens, the
Guardian Goddess of the Graek, and it's
old Greek for the preservation of rights and
liberty.
" You don't say so," answered Mrs.
Jones, and ehe went about all the morning
with her mouth ajar.
But she forgot all about it before evening,
when her memory was revived by hearing
Mr, Jones telling some callers how pleased
he had been the evening before by a classical
allusion to "that old Roman, Palladium,
who went on a bust."

nected with the firm of 'Parker & Hood for
over 17 years. He was appointed town
treasurer on the 8th of March, 1880, a pos-
ition he has ever since held. He was one of
Woodstock's most esteemed citizens.
--A census of children under 14 years
who freguent Toronto theatres unattended
was submitted by Chief Graesett at the
monthly meeting of the Children's Aid So-
ciety, showing that for three nights the at-
tendance at the Toronto Opera House,Grand
Opera House, Academy of Music and the
Musee numbered 450.
-Miss 'Eleanor G. Lennox, daughter of
C. P. Lennox, dentist, of Toronto, has been
appointed house physician of the Cleveland
City Hospital, taking first honors in an ex-
amination in which the other competitors
for the position were seven young men. Miss
Lennox is not yet 22 years old.
-Mr. Wm. Heinhold, furrier, of Galt,
has just completed two things, the first, his
sixty-ninth year, and the second, a most
beautiful fur rug, every stitch in which he
took without tbe use of spectacles. The
rug is composed of a vast number of pieces
of different kinde of fur, all neatly placed so
as to carry out the general design, giv-
ing a very pretty and artistic finish to the
work.
-Mr. D. Allen, of Galt, had a letter in
a Toronto Globe, recently, advocating the
use of crusher coke for household fuel in
place of coal. The writer states that this
coke is now prepared' in all sizes and is ad-
mirably adapted for furnace or stove con-
sumption, while it will effect quite a saving
in the winter's fuel bill.
-Rev. J. S. Hardie, Presbyterian minis-
ter at Ayr, on Sunday, 26th ult., preached a
very strong 'sermon on dancing and card
playing. The subject was before a late
meeting of Paris Presbytery, and some of
the members spoke very strongly against
it. The reverend gentleman thinks people
are liable to go to extremes in both of these
amusements.
-Miss Sarah Roether has resigned her
position as matron of the Walkerton Jail,
which she has held for a great number of
yeare. Miss Roether was generally looked
upon as one of the best matrons in Ontario,
and in her resignation Bruce county loses
a trusted and able official. Mrs. MoKechnie
has been appointed to take her place.
-Mr. Michael Dolan, night-watchman at
the Parliament buildings, Ottawa, died sud-
denly on Sunday evening, 26th ult., a few
minutes after coming on duty. He was
sixty-three years of age, and despite his
humble position was one of the best known
and most respected officials about the
House.
-Mr. Henry Miller, a farmer living near
Tavistock, had a narrow escape from in-
stant death on Friday afternoon, 24th ult.
While in the act of cutting down a dead
tree a limb near the top became detached,
and falling struck young Miller on the head,
fracturing his skull and severely injuring
one of hie eyes.
-A very pleasant event took place at the
residence of Mr. David Farrish, of Lanes,
Ashfield township, a few days ago, when
his eldest daughter, Elizabeth Jane, was
united in marriage to Mr. Angus McDermid,
of Hemlock City. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. R. S. G. Anderson in the
preeence of a few friends and invited guests.
The evening was spent very pleasantly in
games and singing and other amusements.
The young couple have our best wishes for
their future happiness.
-Rev J. F. Parke, of the Christ Church,
Listowel, has been presented with a purse of
over $60, to purchaae a new horse, his pres-
ent animal having reached the good old
age which should entitle her to superannua-
tion. The purse originated with and was
mainly contributed by the farmers of the
congregations of Listowel and Shipley.
-Benjamin Zuber, formerly a resident of
Listowel, died at Saginaw, Michigan, the
other day, aged 36 yeers, A postmortem
examination revealed a tumor in the
stomach of such a size as obstructed the
passage of food.
-London experienced another flood dur-
ing the thaw of Friday, 24th ult, In Lon-
don West that Friday night and early Sat-
erday morning many families had to leave
their houses and take temporary refuge with
their friends who lived on high ground.
About 2 30 Saturday morning, 25th ult., the
electric lights went out and left the city in
total darkuess. This wail explained by the
fact that the water had risen so higk at tile
eleetric light works as td swamp the furnace
fires. The high water did immense damage
to private property and household stuffs.
Flowers in Our Churches.
I am desirous that those who have been
brought under my ministry should see a
great deal more around them than other
people are accustomed to see. In looking at
the clouds I want them to have some
thoughts higher than those of secular things.
In listening to the winds I want them to
hear something more than the sounds of
mechanical forces. I want the shaking of
the leaves of the trees to be as the clapping
of hands to them. I want the seasons to be
to them preachers. And I want the in-
fluence of all these things to be on the side
of sweetness, faith, hope and inspiration,
Therefore, as I preach a sweet religio'
o and
not a sour one, as I preach the beauty of
holiness, and not simply the terrors of the
law, as I preach the bright and glowing
character of the Lord Jesus Christ, I enjoy
having these testimonials of the garden and
the field brought in here. Especially do I
esteem them because they educate man to
go out into the garden and the field and
have flower's associated with their own im-
agination. This cannot be otherwise so
long as they love flowers in connection with
the. worship of God. I do not believe a
child, brought up under my ministry in this
church, will ever see flowers till he dies
without having some thought of religion, of
the sanctuary, and of the inspiration of
flowers. So, flowers at our services have a
meaning. They are not in any special way
a symbolization ; they simply briug things

At one time it was among the stronl„e-t in
Scotland, but being uncompromising sup-
porters of Pyince Charles and the Jacobite
cauee, many of them lost their lives in the
battle of Culloden or were driven from their
lande, which were forfeited to the followers
of "Bloody" Cumberland, as the com-
mander of King George's army was properly
nicknamed, or to his treacherous Highland
allies. The majority of them went to France
or America.
-The business record kept tells that
242,856 railway cars passed through the
Grand Trunk Railway tunnel at Sarnia dur-
ing the year 1892, This is at the rate of
776 cars a day the year round. The number
of freight care bound eastward was 111,193,
and freight cars bound westward. 110,004.
The passenger carriages numbered 21,659,
namely, 10,891 west -bound, and 10,768 east-
bound. Thus, about seventy carriages with
passengers every twenty-four hours, repre-
senting probably 1,500 to 2,000 men, women
and children each week day, or say half a
million in the year, made the passage of this
highway between the United States and
Canada.
-It may be well to tell anyone who has
received an offer through the mail, "to
forward to auy poet office address in Can-
ada and the United States a beautiful steel
plate copy of the Landing of Columbus, for
$1.,' that the engraving thus promised is
the one sold in the Uniteel States as a post-
age stamp for two cents. It is about 2 in-
ches by 1 inches.
-Warrants are out for the arrest of
Ernest W. McIntyre, a well-known lawyer
in St. Thomas and Toronto, He is charged
with selling a farm he did not own for
$7,500. The larger part of that sum was
squandered lo purchasing opium, which he
endeavored, with accomplices to smuggle
across the line. But the effort proved
fruitless,.
-Mesas. T. Currelley & Son, Of Fuller-
ton, have had unusually good luck thir
spring with their flock of fancy bred sheep
and lambs. They have now twenty-seven
lambs living and have lost only four or five.
Messrs. Currelly & Son are among the few
farmers who have made money during these
years of agricultural depression. Three
years ago a handsome brick house; last
year a thousand dollar barn ; this year am
other $4,000 farm. This is their record of
progress through these hard times.

fine, and the sketching of Mr. Waterbury of
the bank, was an entertainment in itself.
Mr. Waterbury is truly -an artist of the first
rank, and his work was cleverly done. Mr.
J. McKeon's songs. Miss O'Leary's reci-
tations, and all from Mitchell was greatly
appreciated. The songs of Miss Mcillhargy
and also those of Mr. Doyle and Mr. Dow-
ney, and the recitation of Miss Ryan, were
all delightful. The representations of Ire-
land, as she is and as she will be, were mag-
nificent, and were heartily applauded. The
concluding piece on the programme was the
pley that took the house by storm. Every
part of the play was acted well and especi-
ally that of Mr. McConnell. It well de-
terved the rounds of applause that came up
in rapid succession from the large and de-
lighted audience. Mr. B. O'Connel presided

to $125.

licity to all worthy preparations. It therefore is a
pleasure for us to give the honorable name of this
wonderful medicine known as the Royal Crown
Remedy. It seems to be able to take hold of the
worst cases -those for whom physicians held out no
hope,Who were pronounced pa,st all earthly help. The
weak, nervous, sleepless, deepondent, morose, dye-
peptio and rhturratic are given new life, and anxious
parents and relatives are filled with joy. All this has
been aceomplished by Williams' Royal Crown Rem-
edy. Sales test year alone amounting to thousands
of dollars, and it was never known to be advertised
in any paper in this country. This unparalleled re-
cord give e it first place in point of sales, and proves
it to be the greatest medicine the world of science
has yet produced. The proprietors being human
benefactors and desirous that all the world may be
benefited, have remodeled the package, enlarged the
bottle, and decided to place it in every drug store
throughout the civilized world, and truly such grand
and noble works benefit tia as a nation,and future gen-
erations will bless the name of the great discoverer
of the grandest remedy ever given to suffeiing
humanity.

Have you ever met her, dear readers ! I
mean the experienced housekeeper, who has
the science of housekeeping at her fingers'
ends; who, no matter how nicely you may
do a thing, can always tell you a better and
more economical way? Well! We had a
visit from her a short time ago, and I've
come to the conclusion that she is almost as
terrible as "Mrs. Bramble" herself. They
must be first cousins, at least.
She would be out and around where the
work was being done, and it fairly made my
blood run oold to have such a relentless
critical eye surveying all the details of my
household affairs, from the making of bread
and the washing of the churn even to the
tying up of Johnnie's mashed toe.
"The rolls are right nice," she said, in a
patronizing tone one morning. "But I
must shore you how to make my raised bis-
cuit.. They are perfectly delicious; the
children never get enough of them. But I
must .have good yeast to work with, I notice
yours does not seem very lively, Now I
always make dried yeast. I take just a
small handful of hope and---." Here fol-
lows a lengthy process,which I never intend
to try, but I must listen and say "yes"
every now and then, while I am inwardly
wishing that she would go back to the sit-
ting room, and leave me to follow the "even
tenor of my way" without so much advice.
It is not always pleasant to have "company"
in one's kitchen.
"1 never like to sit in the kitchen after
my work is finished," I remarked to her one
day.
" Do you not ?" she returned sweetly.
" Why, I just love to stay in mine ; but it
is nicely carpeted, and always so sweet and
clean that it is as cosy as any room in the
house."
"Fortunate woman," I thought, "that
you without the aid of a servant, and with
that large family can always have a kitchen
in apple pie order."
But so it was all the time; she constantly
gave the impression that she kept the best
table and the cleanest house, raised more
poultry and made more butter than anybody
else in the country ; these were her themes
continually, but never a word of any good
or interesting book which she might have
read, not a single mention of the strange
sights and sounds which she might have
seen and heard on her long journey. Oh, no!
it was all soap -making and apple -butter
boiling, and how she managed.
Can You Think.
Can you think of a worse disease than dyspepsia, it

him a burden to himself and others, and causes con-

thousands of cases

Wonderful Events.
(Front London Free Press and Advertiser.)
Certain woederful events that occur from week to
week, are recorded in our daily press, and create
much surprise and call for comment amongst all
classessof our population. Our people are quick to
discern grand and worthy deeds; they feel that in
some degree men and women are made better, and
that, notwithstanding the fact that the world is evil,
there is still sowething worth living and working for.
Certain newspapers have informed us of great and
mighty cures, which to one class in particular these
recorded events have proved a blessing, and brought
comfort and cheer to many despondent hearts.
Week after week we have had proof of men and
women, old and young, who were saved from the
dark tomb through the power of a remedy that not
one paper in Canada had the generosity to mention
the name, save the London Free Press and Adver-
tiser, simply because they were not paid for advertis-
ing 'this remedy. This shows a most wonderful
pecuniary principle on the part of an otherwise gen-
Oren' prow The principle of the London papers is

Indigestion, Dyspepsia and Sour Stomach are
cameed by the food fermenting. The result of fer-
mentation on all organtic matter must he acid.
This decomposes the food (which should
be digested) and from decompoeition
evolves gases that produce pressure
on the nerves, disorganizing the syetern, and produc-
ing various symptoms of disease. The "Curative
Fluid" purifies the stomach, promotes digestion and
