The great men of the world have generally owed much to the character and training. of their mothers. If we go back to their childhood,wo see there the mater- nal influences which form the aims and habits cf their future life. B3yard,tho flower of the French knighthood, the soldier without fear or reproach, never forgot the parting word, of his mother,when he left home to become page of a. nobleman. She said to him -with all the tenderness of loving heart: 'My boy, serve God first. Pray to hint night and morning. Be kind and charitable to • all. Be- ware of flatterers, and never be one yourself. Avoid envy,batred and lying, as vices unworthy of a Christian; and never neglect %rid- , ows and orphans.' When B.iyard was foremost in battle, confessedly the bravest warner in the field, or when, in his own great thirst, he was giv- . ing water to a dying enemy, he was only carryingout his mother's counsel,and striving to be worthy of her name. Tho memory of a mother's love is a talisman against tomptation,and a stimulus to a good Life. • THE SECRET OF ALT. ORATUttY. ,It is only when a minister preaches out of his own heart that ,ho reaches the heart of others. A purely intellectual ser- mon stops with the intellect; a doctrinal sermon is nothing more than a spiritual opiate. But let a •man utter what he has felt and • known, let hire touch the harp string that has vibrated in his own soul, and there comps a hush and spelt -over an audience that chains attention, that •lifting of faces which seems like a white tablet for God's•fingor to write on. Who has not felt the irresistible power of a hidden. experience in- terpreted by another soul? This ie the secret of all oratory, of all V sympathetic power of plan over man. Tho greatest preachers are not those who • mat - lay claim to 'the highest scholarships, who are profound philosophical thinkers or doctrinal giants. but whose laic hearts have, throbbed with the deepest spiritual experiences. 'Out of the abundance ofthe 'heart the mouth speaketh.' These are the men who cin ' lay hold on vast audiences ani, sway then as the wind sways the forest. Their language may be plain, their style unpolished,their manner awkward but they. know the stops and keys of the human heart as the organ- ist knows his instrument, and all the solemn and sweet music of life answers to their touch. "Oh ! why should the spirit of mol•tal bo proud"?. We have of- ten wondered why, and have con- cluded that we don't know" unless it be that the aforesaid mortal is conscious of the fact that at his disposal, at all times, are Dr Pierce's Pellets, to relieve him, should he suffer from torpidity of the liver, sick or nervous head- ache, dyspepsia, constipation, etc. Druggi sts. LOOK OVER Ir. It is said that John Wesley was once with a. brother, who related to him his troubles, saying he did not know what he should do. They were at that moment pass- ing a . stone fen ;o to a 'meadow, over which a :ow was looking. 'Do you know,' asked Wesley, 'why the cow looks over that wall? 'No' replied the ono in trouble. 'I will tell you,' said Wesley; 'because she cannot look through it. And that is what you must do with your troubles. look over and above them. Depend upon it, in the midht of all the science about the world and its ways, and all the ignor- ance of God and his greatnoss,the man or woman who can- say,'Thy will be done,' with the true heart of giving up, is nearer the secret - of things than. the geologist. CATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS—HAY FEVER A tfiEW NOME MEN,. Sufferers are not generally aware that these diseases are contagions, or that they are due to tho presence of living parasites in the lining membrane of the nose and eustachian tubes.' Microscopic research, however, has proved this to be a fact, and the result of this discovery is that a simple remedy has been formulated where- by catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever, are permanently cured in from one to three simple applications made at home by the patient once in two weeks. N.B.—This treatment. is not a snuff or an ointment ; both have been discarded by reputable physicians as injurious. A pamphlet explaining this new treatment is sent on receipt of ten cents by A. II. DIXON & SoN, 803 West King Street, Toronto, Canada.—Toronto Globe. litt'ferers from Catarrbal troubles should -n �triiv l'ead the above.. TRY IT. Titer or four niers were sitting on the iazza of a seaside cottage smoking. It was evening, The stars were as thick in the sky as freckles on a freckle -afflicted girl's face. The waves came in on the beach with a swish-swash-swosh, just as they have done ever since the second day of creation. IIore piercing than the song of the waves were the notes, and more multitudinous than the stars of heaven the number,of the mos- quitoes that haunted that piazza, and every one of them was 'look- ing for blood.' The men had ceased smoking for fun. They now puffed their cigars to keep the musquitoes away. Something fanny about musqui- toes, said 011ti rather absent-mind- edly. Yes, rather, was the drl,tvliog reply. Funny how much blocd it take to fill one up. No, but honest, now; do you know that if a mur.quito'd get his bill down into your hand he can- not pull it out tvhileyou hold your breath? Don't believe it. It's true, hcwavcr, for I have tried it. Bet you ten cigars a musquito can take his bill out any time he •wants to do it, and we will try it right here. is it a go? It is, and I'll let them try. A lamp was lighted, the. cigars put out,••and all waited. In less than a mint r a mosquito had placed himself on Tom's hand and began operations. Now, said Tom, and placed the forefinger of his• other hand down close to the musquito. It did not budge. He placed his nail against the abdomen of the" inset and whirled it around. Still it remain- ed fixed. Yon can do it every time, said Tom as he killed the „musquito and drew a long breath, It is_a fact, go and t: " CURSING AND SWEARING. The great Baptist preacher, Elder Knap,remeuabered by many of to -day, years ago portrayed vividly, in his characteristic -ora- tory, some of the great sins. One sermon was remarkable, in which he pictured ti scene at the vesti- bule of hell, the arch -fiend in at- tendance questioning some arri- vals as to the particular crime or crimes that had brought them to his awful kingdom. One answer- ed—I killed a • man when I was drunk. Go through there, said Satan, it's crowded, yet room enough. • Another -answering; said—I robbed a bank and then set it on fire to avoid detection, • Well, you may have neeiod Money for your family; but .go right ahead, there •is a place for yon here, Said another —1 killed nay mother-in•law when on, e'red by her interm edtllingo Turn to the Iefc; you' might have been sorely tempted. The next responded m•eekl,y—I only used to swear. The Devil at once showed his anger, commanding his imps to heat the torrid section hotter. Turning to the swearer, he said— 'You seem to regard swearing as only a small matter. You 'for- got your mouth was made like unto the God who made your' body and soul; you have befouled it, without the slightest occasion, temptation or any provocation. Ho woo made you and all the world withstood all my allure- ments and temptations, but chose to suffer agony and ignomy, dy- ing on the -cross to save you. Ho left a command so easily obeyed, andayou would not. Bell is not hot enough for such. •It is a noticeable fact that vio- lation of the third commandment prevails unblushingly ,on the part of many where cultivation appar- ently is greatest, in cities where galleries of art, schools, colltjres and public libraries abound, while' in places of.less cultivated sur- roundings cursing ttnd swearing is not hoard. Among Negroes of the Southern States, in their days of slavery, they rarely, if ever, imitated the sinful Habit, nor yet as freed men have they abopted it. Superstitious they may be— though this has been greatly ex- aggerated—but they aro not vio- laters of God's third command- ment. DIRECT TAXATION. The Conservative press will have it that , unrestricted trade with the United States would compel Canada to resort to direct taxation—that we should have to make up in that way for the loss sustained through the repeal of Cho duties at present levied upon American goods. Suppose this were true, what of it? Would it not be better for a farmer to pay one dollar by direct than four or five by indirect tariff taxation as now ? A french statesman, of the last century, described tariff taxation as a process of "making dupes of,the people that you may the more readily got hold of their money." "I do not believe at all," he said,"in a system which draws a largo revenue from the taxpay- ers without their knowledge. A free people ought to know just how mach they pay for their in- stitutions, and to pay it joyfully ; and should as truly seorn to be cheated into the snppo't of their Government as into the support of their children." "Indirect taxation,,t continued Turgot "im- poses a multitude of restrictions on commerce, causes legal pro- cesses, frauds and confiscations ; costs a great deal for collection, and establishes a state of war be- tween the Customs Department and the merchant—a continual and almost irresistible temptation to fraud, which is, nevertheless, subjected to the most cruel penal- ties." All of which is, eminently true of our present customs law as administered by Mr Mackenzie Bowoll. Unrestricted trade would enable us easily to bear any tax, whether direct or indirect, which might to found necessary to replace the array of duties now levied on American merchandise; and, in addition, would effect a consider- able saving in the cost of frontier custom -houses. Give the Cana- dian farmer a higher price for everything he has to sell, and a 11101'e advant ageous market -in which to buy,and be can well afford to pay for the double luxury. WE MAY YET TRAVEL 100 MILES AN HOUR WITH SA.N ETY AND COMFOT, The problem of faster railroad travel is• again to the fore. One hundred titles 'an—Tour—is what the typical American • notvlseeni"s to have his eye fastened on. In order to run trains at 100 miles auhour, roadbed, track and rol- ling stock must bo specially pre- pared- for the purpose, and a new system of operating would also bo necessary; but to ono who has been familitir with the progress of American railroads since 1849, there appears no insuperable ob- stacle in the way of running 100 miles an hour with as much safety and comfort as we now enjoy 40 50 or 60 miles -an hour, time that is now common time, although it is not so long since 40 miles an hour was the dream of a• lunatic. The average yearly increase of- speed-in fspeed-in tho last eighteen years has been about 2.1 miles, and a continuation of that rate for five years more will easily give us the 100 miles an hour. Exten- sive preparations will bo neces- sary. Grades must be made as nearly level as possible. Moun- tains.must bo torn down and tun, neled, streams and ravines must be crossed on solid masonry and embankments, and no crossings at grade. The alignment must be perfect, and the curves, if any, must be very slight. Double tracks will be required, and the right of way must bo securely fenced and protected at all points. Heavier rails will be needed; and they must be secured to the cross - ties withoat the pessibility of dis- placement. .Sudh a system of signals and, rules of operating or movement of trains must be adopt- ed as will render collisions and de- railments from misplaced switch- es utterly impossible. In short, everything must be in such a state of' perfection and so sytematically arranged that when an engineer pulls out'of a statin he will feel absolutely safe from collisions w;th other trains, or obstructions of any kind at any place. He must bo in a state of perfect con- fidence that his train is as safe as those on ordinary roads running at 40 miles an hour. In fact, un - dor these conditions lie would be safer. Many of the most frequent causes of accident would be en- tirely removed. Contrary to the usual opinion, it has been shown that fast running does not cause derailment. With proper align- ment and with track in perfect order there would be no more danger of derailment at 100 than at forty miles an hour. As to the motive power, experts say there is no difficulty in furnishing it.. All these arrangements would cost money, and when the public is willing to pay 'for.the privileges -there is no reasonable doubt that it can travel at the• rate of 100 miles an hour: And the Ameri• can public,it is to bo remembered, is always ready to pay for what it makes up its mind it wants. --e An ugly complexion made Nellie a fright, Her face was all pimply and red, Though her features were good, and her bine eyes were bright, "What a plain girl is Nellie"! they said.
