A MOTHER'S CorN•EL.
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.

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.

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.

The four greatest medical centres of the world are London, Paris. Berlin and Vienna. These cities have Immense
hospftafe teeming with suffering humanity. Crowds of students throng the wards studying under the Professors In
charge. The most renowned physicians of the world teach and practice here, and the institutions are storehouses of
medical knowledge and experience. With a view of making this experience available to the public the Hospital
Remedy Co. at great expense secured the prescriptibns of these hospitals, prepared the specifics, and although it
would cost from $25 to MOO to.aecure the attention of their distinguished originators, yet in this way their pre-
pared specifics are offered at the price of the quaok patent medicines thatood the market and absurdly claim to cure
every ill from a single bottle. The want always felt for a reliable class of domestic remedies is now filled with per-
