Nine persons out of ten will look at the above letter and think that to count the number of dots would be very easy. Still there are comparatively few who can do it correctly.

Then you do not know him," Mery made atiswor, and alma listlessly. " De you imagine 1 have not considered everything, night after night, eye, and every hour of the night, all the way through? He will never come back to Loctgtrra-if it is to speak to me that you mean. I have told You before ; it seerns fatality that he and his ehould receive nothing but injury and insult at our hands, from onc member of our family after an- other ; and never has there been a word in reply -never a single syllable of reproach -- hut only kindnesses innumerable, and, thoughtfulness and respect. Well, there is; an end of respect now. How ee.n he have: ane thing but scorn of me? If I were to; confess to him that I had believed thati story -even for one frightened moment - what could he think of me ? Why, what he thinks of me now -as a base creature, ig- noble,- ungrateful, unworthy-ohl do you imegine I cannot read what is in that rean's heart at this moment,?" Do you imsgine I cannot?" s3id Kath- chee, boldly. "1 have not been 'blind all these mouths. What is in that man's heart, Mamie, is it passionate love and de- votion towards you; and there is no injury and no insult he would not forgive you if he thought that you -that you -well, that you cared for him a little. Oh, I know both you and him. I know that you are wilful and impulsive; and I know that he is proud and sensitive and reserved; but I think -I think -well, Mamie, no more words; but I am going to have my Own way in this matter, and you must let me do pre- cisely What I please." , And that was all she would sly mean- while. But next day was a busy day for. Kate Glendinning. First of all she went straight to the minister and demanded ,pointblank whether there was, or could be, any foundation for that story about Anna Clannach • and the minister -not directly, of course:hut with many lamentations' in his high falsetto, over the wickedness ofthe, humau mind in harboring and uttering slan- ders and calumnies -answered that he had known Anna Chtnetach all her life, and that she had been half Witted from her infancy, and that the tale now told him was an en- tire and deplorable fabrication. Indeed; he would have liked to enlarge on the theme, hut Kate was in a harry. For she had heerd in passing through the village that the Gillie Ciotach was about to go over to Heinnraowith the parcels and letters; that bad come by the previous day's mail; and it occurred to her that here was a happy. chance for herself. "Now, Andrew," she said, when she was seated comfortably in the stern of the lug- ger, "keep everything smooth -for me. - I baven't once been sea -sick since I came to Lochgarra, and.I don't want to begin now."

FEAR, Druggist, Seaforth, Ontario: Dear Sir: For a long time past I have been greatly distressed with htomach trouble, suffering extreme pain -with headalhe nearly all the time. I had tried every means within my reach, without relief; even physician's medicine had no effect. I was in a, very despondent way when, happen- ing to be in Seaforth one day, some- body recommended me to try Man- drake Blood Bitters. As it had re- lieved so many, I thought, it might 4elp me. I procured a bottle, and truly the relief was almost magical. From the first few doses I began to improve, and, after taking a few bottles, I am like a different person altogether. Whereas life was a bur den to me, now it is a pleasure to live. If ever I have any symptoms of my old trouble, a few doses of your valu- able remedy fixes me all right. With pleasure I recommend Mandrake Blood Bitters. (Signed) WM. STEWART.

Egguactly so. . 1 Perth Items. j -Listowel had quite an exciting time while theflood lasted. Bridges threatened with destruction had to be cabled and anchored, ice jams had to, be cut away and many cellars were flooded, but the dam- age was not very great after all. -The Mitchell Recorder seys : The well known 'stallion, "Pride of 'Scotland," was sold by auction last'week and bought by one of the Peppers for $25. Tie stallion is' a handsome imported animal, but is so savage that no man cares to have anything to do with him. -Rev. H. Gracey, of Ganesnoque, former- ly pastor of Thames Road, near Exeter, has been presented with a purse of money and given eix weeks' absence. He goes to Tor- onto, New York and southern points.

Her brother TJamee seeing the accident bravely spran in after her and succeeded in getting her on firm ice. -During the coming season a large num- ber of factories in the Stratford district will pay for their milk aceordlog to the amount of butter fat as ascertained by the Babcock teeter. Among those that will adopt the tester are Avonbenk, Fullarton, Black Creek, Tavistock, Avondale, Elms, Newry and Trowbridge. -Two boys playing on the railway track in Palmerston on Saturday, found the dead body of an iniant in the snow, where it had lain buried for some time until uncovered by the thaw. A jury was empannelled by Coroner Forster, who returned a verdict of wilful murder against some person or per. sons unknown. -To induce the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company of Chicago to locate their Caoadian branch there, Stratford offers a ten -acre site, a free siding to the grounds, free water, exemption = from taxes for ten years, and a guarantee that freight rates will be no higher at Stratford than at any competing point. -The census returns for Listowel show a decrease in the number of manufacturing establishments between 1891 and 1891 from 63 to 38.

Dr. ice, of Atwood, was immediately summon- ed, and found that beeidee being badly in- jured internally his face was cut and his hip bones crushed. The injured men's con- dition is slightly improved, but he is still in a very critical state. Named for Her. Sometimes a mother would gladly name her baby for a dear friend, but is prevented because of the undesirability of the name itself. A capital way of overcoming thin difficulty is auggested by the following anec- dote in the Youth's Companion: A well known writer was telling a friend about some of her numerous grandchildren who are scattered *II over the country. They are of all ages and nationalities, but the most remarkable one is a little colored child in Washington. When I went there one winter, my wash- erwoman told me she had named her new baby for me, and asked if I wouldn't come and sea it. So, armed with a large rattle as e propitiatory offering, I visited the baby. What was my surprise to hear the mother and all the children epeak of her as "Gene- vieve." ell" Why," I said, "1 thought you told me e was named for me ?" " Yas'm, so she shorely is." "But my name is Harriet," I insisted, "and you cell your baby 'Genevieve.'" "Laws, miss'," exclaimed the mother,with a broad grin, "Genevieve 'scribes you so much better 'n Hareet does !"

To Say as Well as Think. With our onward march toward a higher civilization, and the curbing, pruning and suppressing of emotions incidental thereto, we have swung the pendulum to the other extreme, and well nigh eradicated, by long suppression, many emotions that should, with proper regulation, be the motors of life'e progress, and presently, with the absence of all demonstration, we shall be like unto a dull prose book without any illustration, dignified truly, but lifelees and uninteresting. Ninety-nine men out of a hundred like to haee a little finis made over them; they de- clare that they do not, that it is a bore, but in their inmost souls they do like it, and they go away to business in the morning with the cockles of their masculine hearts well warmed by that same feminine fusei- nese which is so impetiently deplored during its action. "Jack', you'll need your overshoes 1" or "Jack, dear, you should take an umbrella, it looks very much, like rain !" and "Ob, Jack, I laid out your mackintosh 1" and the ninety and nine Jacks wear the overshoee, • and carry the umbrella and mackintosh, and have a comfortable day, and bless the fussi- ness (if the storm be very severe, they call it thoughtfulness) that provided such comforts. The hundredth man gets wet, and he cer- tainly deserves to. A little demonstrative interest now and then is very acceptable. I do not mean sen- timental gush nor maudlin beby talk, but I do mean a good, genuine, hearty sympathy, a camaraderie that shows itself in cordial tone, in pleasant glance, and in a firm hand- clasp; in short, a little healthful demonstra- tion of eentiment that has about it no touch of sentimentality. I know a fellow, a great warm-hearted, grown-up boy, whose home is a very morgue as far as any joyous, cordial demonstration goes. His mother, the best of women in in- tention, outwardly would make a glacier shiver; his father, just and honest and hon- orable, yet so echooled in self -repression that it has become his law. Not long ago I saw this boy compelled to leave home for a time on account of ill -health, bid his family good- bye. His mother said, " You'll write us, I suppose," and dropped a froety little kiss upon his cheek. His father, good man and true, with the management of a dozen charities on his shoulders, said " Good-bye " without even a handshake and walked upstairs to his study, and with that sort of a godspeed my friend started out in mearch of health. Don't you think that he would have started more happily if his mother had let the love that must surely be in her heart melt through the ice a little. If she had said, "Goodbye, old fellow, take care of yourself and write me often !" and if his father had, for a mo- ment, dropped hie self repression and said, " Farewell, my son, are you sure you have everything you need ? God bless you !" don't you think he would have found health more quickly with the memory of cordial home words to = quickee his heart action ? And yet, if you say tai these good people that they do not, with ell their cultivation, know the first letter of the alphabet of home duty, and that they little deserve the son they have they would look at you mith wide -eyed -surprise, and regard you as a very ill -regulated pereon indeed. Do not be .o -afraid of letting yourself out a little; do not fear that your heart will run away with your head. Ninety out of the hundred times the balance will be largely to the credit of the head. Kindly words and pleasant fussiness are low-priced offerings to make to those we most do love, and many a time you will be Fled, so very- glad, that you made the offer- ing while yet in time. Do not confound sentiment with sentimentalism. I have a good friend who says: " You know my friendship is warm and strong; why bother to put it in words or demon- strate it by deeds ?" Very true, my dear fellow ; I know also that the sky up yonder is clear and blue, but if leaden, silent clouds hang between it and me, base materialist that I am, I long to tear away the clouds and feast my eyes upon the blue and let the warm sunshine clothe me roundabout; and that is what I men when I say, "To think may be the silent silver, but to say is the glowing gold." -Frank Chaffee, in Ladies' Home Journal, Sebringville, on Wednesday, 22nd ult., the residence of Mr. John Moore was the scene of a very pleasant event, in which Mr. Thnmes Rustop, son of Mr. F. Ruston, ex -reeve of Ellice was united in matrimony to Miss Lena Moore, daughter, of Mr. Thomas Moore. Rev. Mr. Deacon, of Stratford, officiated. There were upwards of seventy couples witnessing the scene.

"Mamma," said a young lad whose mother reproved him for swearing, "Papa swears." The mother quietly teok her Bible, and opening it at the words, "Swear not at all, ' said, "These are the words of Christ; our duty is to obey and fol- low Him. Let us beg papa not to sweet. either." Of course this implied a criticism of " Papa." but it was so gentle and so wise that it left no feeling of disregard in the boy's heart, but rather filled it with a sort of pitying tenderness toward that erring father. But just so much aa you find fault with each other in the presence of your children, you weaken each other's authority. -What might have terminated in a most frightful accident happened on the 10th onncession of Wallace the other night. = Mr. SPence'teacher of the 8th line school, and Mr. Walker, of Moorefield, hired a horse and cutter to go to Palmerston when op - Ignite Mr. Thomas Hays' a teambroke sway from shere they were tied and rau over betb men and cutter, breaking the cutter into kindling *cod. Strange to say neither was hurt, only got a good shaking up. -Early Sabbath morning, 26th ult., the barn on the 13th concession of Logen, be- longing to Mr. George Court, at present rented by Mr. D. Mahon, was bnrned down. The surrounding neighbors did all in their power to assist Mr. Mahon. They succeed- ed in removing the live etock from the stables, but the grain, hey, and other con- tents of the barn were destroyed. It is sup- posed to have been the work of an incendi- aoyoes a bottle containing coal oil was found near the barn. -During the. week ending Saturday, March 18th, the following amount of mail matter passed through St. Mews's; post office : Canadian letters 3,019 ; British and Foreign, 929; Canadisn post cards, 789; British and Foreign, 149; transient newspapers, samples, patterns, book pack- ets, etc., 492; packages of printers' copy, photo, beads, insurance policies, etc., 52 ; parcele by parcel post, 7 ; fifth class matter, 18. The receipts for the week amounted to $140.12, including 61 regisered and 33 free letters. -On Friday afternoon, 24th ult., Alex. Hird, of conceseien 12, Grey, formerly of Elma, met with a fearful accident. While digging gravel an overhenging bank of several tons weight gave way and fell on top of the poor fellow. Fortunately the frozen mass was slightly hollowed out, and to that fact Mr. Bird owes hie life. Ilis Hay. LECTURE. -On Monday evening of last week a very interesting lecture bearing on the interests of the Patrons of Industry, was delivered in the school house of Section No. 14 Hay, by Mr. Johnson, of Sexemith, organizer for this district. The facts pre- sented by the lecturer so influenced the shrewd and clear headed farmere of the vi- cinity as to lead to the iminediate formation of an association, with brilliant prospects. Those desirous of becoming members of this organizetion will have an opportunity of doing so on the evening of Tuesday, 11th inst., from which date meetings will be held every second Tuesday only, at 8 p. m. A Literary and Debatipg Society will be an interesting feature of these meetings. Wonderful Events. (From London Free Press and Advertiser.) Certain woederful events that occur from week to week, are recorded in our daily prose, and create much surprise and call for comment amongst all classes of our population. Our people are quick to diecern grand and worthy deeds; they feel that in sonie degree nien and women are made better, and that notwithstanding the fact that the world is evil, there is still something worth living and working for. Certain newspapers have informed us of great and mighty cures, which to one elate in particular these reeorded events have proved a blessing, and brought comfort and cheer to many 'deepondent 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 generoeity to mention the name, save the London Free Press and Adver- tiser'situply because they were not paid for advertis- ing this remedy. This shows a most wonderful pecuniary principle on the part of an otherwise gen- erous press The principle of the London papers is to deplore sueh a state of affairs and to give fair pub- licity to all worthy preparations. It therefore is a pleaeure for us to give the honorable name of this wonderful medicine known as the Royal Crown Remedy. It scorns to be able to take hold of the worst cases -those for whom physicians held out no hope,who were pronounced past all earthly help. The weak, nervous, sleepless, despondent, morose, dys- peptic and rheumatic are given new life, and anxious parents and relatives aro filled with joy. All this has been accomplished by Williams' Royal Crown Rem- edy. Sales last year alone amounting to thousands of dollars, and It was never known to be advertised in any paper in Ole country. This unparalleled re- cord gives it first place in point of sales, and provesit to be the greatest medicine the world of sctence 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 us as a nation,and future gen- erations will bless the name of the great discoverer of the grandest remedy ever given to suffering humanity. DIARRHOEA AND DYSENTERY RIC perhaps the most common of our every day ills, and every person nearly has some special cure of their own. Ours is PERRY Davis' Pent-lineetn, and having used it for many years we can confidently recommend it. Get Big Bottle, 25c. A Friend in Need.

Pitcher's' Castoria. A Divided Household. "A house divided against itself shall not stand." is a truth that parents should pon- der with reference to the management of their children. You have no more acute or severe critic than your own children. If husband and wife do not agree, the very babe in her arms will be quick to discover the fact. A group of little girls were playing on the sidewalk one bright summer day when one of them, seizing the hand of her friend hasti• lye ran around the corner. "What did you do that for ?" eaid +he friend. "1 saw papa coming, and he has forbidden me to play with Susie Jones." "But your mamma knew you were playing with her ; she is sewing at the window, and could see you," "Oh, mamma lets me do as I please." How cen a child with 'such home training respect either parent? She will fear her father, but she will not respect him because she sees that her mother does not feel enough respect for him to enforce his commands in his absence. She will not respect her mother because she feels in her childish heart that her mother is wrong, and knows that her father has a good reason for not wishing her to play with Susie Jones. How often we hear a child exclaim, when forbidden by her mother to do something, "I'll ask papa when he comes home," show- ing plainly that oneparent does not uphold the authority of the other. At times a father will correct a child with more severity of expreesion than the fault warranted, and, painful SA is such a spee- tacle, it is even more painful and more horn,- ful to the child for the mother to interfere. Talk with each other privately, if need be, in regard to your modes of correction, but let no word of your differences reach the child's ear. It often happens that a wife and mother can not approve of her husband's course - that she must teach her children a different 4110,04. -- Blemished Animals.
