BEAUTY OF CANADIANS. all writer in New England Mag- azine gays that the physique of the Canadian people has become the admiration and despair of the worlld. To exoreies) iii the open air, skating, tobogganing, suow- ahoeing and tedancing this beauty 'of the women and the manly brawn of the mew mny be attri- buted, The men are noted for their brawn and their excellence in all athletic exercises. The women are famous for their erect and graceful carriage. They do not amble.but walk military -wise, straight from the hips. The mingling oi French and Scotch, English and Irish, has produced a distinct type of teauty, which combines the graces of the Anglo- Saxon race with the wit of the daughters of La Belle France. There are no ugly women in Can- ada, so Mr Harte says. But who ever saw an ugly woman ? There is a beautiful ruddiness about the girls that is at once at- traetiveand aggressive, and,to add to their charms, they are the most skilful skaters and dancers in the world. WESTWARD 11110! "For we have seen the land, and be- hold it is very good. Be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land." Don't wander away to the Far North- west, and settle on a treeless prairie far removed from the great markets when you can secure LAND IN THE NEAR NORTHWEST 1 CIose to the great cities of St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Duluth. Remember that the Duluth market regulates the price paid for wheat in the northwest both in British and United States territory. Four hundred miles from that shipping port means at least 15 cents a bushel for railway freight and elevator charges,and the same facts apply with equal force to cattle, sheep and other farm products. The Great Northern (St. P. M. & M.) Railway Co. have 50,000 beautiful farm Homes which they offer to actual settlers at an average price of five dol. loss an acres on'ongldeferred payments only one ninth of the purchase money required to be paid on location. Less than it would take to transport your family and effects to'the far northwest. The land grant offered to actual set- tlers commences within 20 miles of Minneapolis, which possesses the most extensive flouring miles in the world. Yon can now obtain a farm in the Mississippi valley close to that great city which is connected with seventeen great railway:systems and their branch- es. These lands are unequalled for fertility as the following crop statistics prove. Crop 1889, Wheat. Avg. pr Corn Barley bushels. acre. bush. bush.

Minnesota last season produced 40,- 000,000,bushels of oats and an immense quanity of farm products. The enor- mous production of corn proves the climate temperate and statistics show that it is healthiest in the universe. The locality referred to is in the famous park region, which possesses all the advantages of the prairie while protected from windstorms by' great belts of timber and wooded hills.

'One reason why men are not successful in shaving themselves,' said a barber a fete days since, 'is because they ao not pay any at- tention to their tools. They ought to learn ',a lesson from us in this respect. A barber sharp- ens his razor with the utmost care at least twice and even three times for every man he shaves, and yet t there are Iots of men shaving themselves who are content with slamming a razor over a strap two or three times before they begin operations and never bother about the matter again. Then, too, we rub the soap on a man's face rery carefully and thoroughly several minutes before we begin to shave. I n reality this is half the battl2,for it softens the hair and moistens the skin so that there is no danger of cutting the face, and :he resis- tance of the razor is reduced one half. The lather -is hot, and the carefully strapped until it is sharp instant the razor begins to pull itis again. I have been in this busi- ness for 20 years, and I am still wondering why a man ever gees to a barber shop to get shaved. I shave myself, of course. Sena- tor Ingalls is quite right when he says every man ought to do so. 1t only takes me five or six min- utes to shave when I get up in the morning, and it is through with for the rest of the day. Many a busy man is compelled to stand around for a half hour or more in a shop every day because he thinks he cannot shave himself If he would look after the details it wsuld he as easy as rolling off a log.'

There is a very tender story Concerning faithfulness in humble places, which Jean Ingelow has related for us. It was in one of the Orkney Islands, far beyond the .North of Scotland. On the coast of this Island there stood out a rock,call- ed " Lonely Rock. " very danger- ous to navigators. One night, long ago, there at in a fisherman's cottage ashore a young girl toiling at her spinning wheel, looking out upon the dark and driving clouds, and listening anxiously to the wind and sea. At last the morning came, and one boat that should have been riding on the waves was missing. It was her father's boat, and half a mile from the cottage her fath- er's body was found, wished up upon the shore. He had been wrecked, against the ."Lonely Rock." Case's Syr.

That was more than 50 years ago. The girl watched the fath- er's body according to custom of her people, until it was laid in the grave, then she lay down on her bed and slept. When the night came she arose and set a candle in her casement, as a bea- con to the fishermen and a guide. All night lona she sat by the candle, trimmed it when it flick- ered down, and spun. So many hanks of yarn as she had spun before for her daily bread she spun still and ono hank over for her nightly candle, -And from that time to the time of the telling of this story (for 50 years, through youth, maturity, into old age,) she has turned night into day. And in the snow storms of winter, in the serene calms of summer, through driving mists, deceptive moonlight and solemn darkness that northern harbor has never once been without the light of that small candle. However far the fisherman might be stand- ing out to sea,be had only to bear down straight for that lighted candle and he was sure of safe en- trance into the harbor. And so for all these 50 years that tiny light,flaming thus out of devotion and self-sacrifice, has helped and cheered and saved. Surely this was finding chance for service in an humble place; surely this was lowliness glorified by faithfulness; surely the smile of the Lord Jesus must have fol- lowed along the beams of that poor candle, glimmering from that humble window,as they went wandering forth to bleFs and guide the fishermen towing in their lit- tle boats upon the sea.

Lawrencetown. Joni; S. McLeod, THE RELIGION WE WANT. We want a religion not merely of creeds, but of conduct ; a reli- gion that softens the step and gives gentleness to thelvoice,Ithat checks the impatient word and hasty rebuke; a religion that is respectful to superiors, courteous to inferiors and considerate to friends; a religion not merely for the church and the Sabbath, but that lives in the family and keep the husband from being cross if his dinner is late, ant the wife from fretting if the husband some- time forgets the scraper and the door mat ; that keeps the motherpatient if the baby is fretful, and can amuse and interest the chil- dren as well as govern and in- struct themo>tthat cares for the comfort and welfare of servants as well as pnye them ; that pro- jects the honeymoon into the harvest moon, and makes the happy home like the eastern fig tree, bearing at once the beauty of its tender blossoms and the glory of its ripened fruit. 'I would snot give much for that man's religion,' said Rowland Hill, 'whose very cat and dog are not better for it.' Every Christian should so live as to be able, with the good Methodist brother, to say : 'If you don't believe I and a Christian, ask my wife.' We want a religion not merely for the prayer meeting and the pub- lic profession, but for the home, for the counting -house, for the marls of business, for the entire— one that shall smooth the rough plaees of the world and make daily life brighter a..d better,( cherishing the spirit of heaven here, and so preparing heaven hereafter. The great majority of so-called cough cures do little more than impair the digestive functions and ereate bile. Ayer's Cherry Pect- oral, on the contrary, while it cures the cough,does not interfere with the functions of either stomach or liver. "TAKING GOD AT His WORD." Miss Havergal has said:— "Every year, I might almost say every day. that I live I seem to see more clearly bow all the rest and gladness and power of our Christian life hinges on one thing, and that is, taking God at his word, believing that he really means exactly what be says, and accepting the very words in which he reveals his goodness and grace, without substituting others or altering the precise moods and tenses which he has seen fit to use." RCSES, NOT TImORN,. Tholuck has well said: "Chris- tians are not men and women who see no thorns upon the track of life, they are not men and women who do not care, but who cast their ease upon God; they know from their own experience that where Christ's grace is granted, all thorns at last swell and burst open into roses." It is very true that while we are in this world of care and dis- appointment nothing but "Christ's grace" can transfer the thorn into a rose. It is equally true that this grace must we'l in the henit in no ordinary measure to effect such a change. If our spiritual life is low in tone, if holy promise falls upon a dull understanding, and obedience to God still costs the sonl a struggle, we may ex- pect the thorn to bo the thorn still, not the rose; the care to re- tain the old elements of bitterness. Deep, devine union with Jesus is the secret of overcoming the world,with all torturinganxioties. 0 thou, who art seeking only our good, send in our weary, moot adversity with composure, fidelity, meekness and unshaken confidence in thy holy promises! f..
