It cannot -be long before every child Iu Ontario who goes to sehool at all will be able to . read in Eng - There is no question between the Reform and Tory parties re- garding the abolition of tba separ- ate schools. That cannot be ef- fected without an act of the Im- perial Parliament, and that act can only be obtained (if at all) at the soliotation of the Dominion Parlia- Mout. Mr Meredith has admitted this. The law of Ontario makes every ratepayer, Protestant and Catholic a supporter of the public schools; until the ratepayer gives written notice to the municipal clerk that be desires to be exempted from public school taxes and assessed for separate school taxes. The assessor has to be guided by the list, kept in the clerk's office, • of those who have given notice. and the assessment paper has to show each ratepayer whether he is put down for the public or the separate schools. All the Tory talk about making Catholics sup- port separate schools against their will is so much bosh. The law, as we have stated it above with regard to the necessity of notice, is now and has always been the law. GEMS OF THOUGHT. Let your auger sot with the Sim, but never rise with it. The humblest occupation has in it materials of discipline for the highest heaven. To court the favors of others by a sacrifice of one's soli -respect is to lose more than is gained. Modesty is to merit what shade 'is to the figures m a picture; it gives to it force and relief. Be brief: for it is with words as with sunbeams—the more they are condensed the creeper thoy barn. The pleasantest things :it the world are pleasant thoughts, and the greatest in life is to have as many of them as possible. 'The chronically unhisppy man who persists in trying to sour ' humanity should got him to his closet with his woes, and give the sunshine a chance to warm his )neighbors. Let us be patient over troubles, they will end sometime and the end will not bo hastened by pee- vish ill -nature or fretful waste of , energies. A busy life, with good princi- pals, stronb<r purposes, and wis- dom etiough to secure a fair cul- tivation of the different sides of the nature, is ono of the most im- portant factors for securing a ripe and happy old age. Much of the discomfort and un- happiness of life in. school, in the family, or in a community, comes from our inability to understand or tolerate the qualities of charac- ter in others which we do not pos- sess ourselves. The entering wedge of a cont - plaint that may prove fatal is ot- ten a slight cold, which a dose- or two of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral might have cured at the cern- mencement. It would be well, therefore, to keep this remedy within roach at all times. Were wo to believe nothing but what we could comprehend, not only our own stock of knowledge in all the branches of learning mvould bo shrunk up to nothing, but even the smaller affairs of common life could not bo carried on. Fos the earnest man or woman there is no end to effort. One aim reached and its difficulties surmounted, another will Quickly { present itself to the aspiring spirit and before that is reached other difficulties must again be met. Whoever is coascioud of faith- ful, earnest effort should regard his temporary faiiteros with alcaim and untroubled spirit. Regret them he must, lessons from them he may learn, but to sink into despair because of them is both •unroasonabie and unmanly. Boasting pf what you will do is unwise. If your plans are good ones, some one else will catch them up and be in the field in time to divide the advantage with yo4sa. The mon who listen well, and are .not in haste to impart their own secrets,aro the ones who . generally got along in the world. CATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS—HAY FEuER A NEW NOME TREATMENT. Sufferers are not generally aware that these'diseases are contagious, or that they are due to the presence of living parasites in the lining membrane of the nose and enstaohian 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. 11. »mom & Sow, 303 West King Street, Toronto, Canada.— Toronto Globe.

Nathan Jefferson Williams, o "Clay County, has been a Coal 0 Johnny', in his day. His fathe fermerly owned all the coal mine around Staunton, Ind., and die suddenly in 1869. Youn Nathan had for his guardian, Isaac Compton, of Brazil. Two years after his father's death Nathan arrived at the age of 21 and came into possession of his estate. He converted his mining property into cash as quickly as possible, which netted him over $90,000. IIe at once began to drop his dol- lars with a lavish band in fine dress and costly equipages. Ere long he took to drinking heavily and visited all the principal cities in the United States, indulging his passiun for women, wine and race horses. In a few months he returned to Terre Haute, where he invested heavily in fine horses and prize winning dogs of every kind. Disease fastened upon his finest horses and left them greatly impaired in health, so much so indeed that he had to dispose of them at less than an ordinary workhorse would bring on the market. Then the memorable panic of 1872 came on, and left him a ruined man. His friends in affluence deserted him in pov- erty, and he was for the first time thrown upon his own resourses. He drank deeper than ever,think- ing to drown his troubles. He worked here and there at what- ever he could do, and finally vv orked in the very mines of which ho was formerly master. When pay-day came he immed- iately took his hard earned wages and squandered them at the sa- loon. He finally resolved to quit that part of the State, and started out in search of new fields, hoping to throw of his greatest enemy and to get another start. This he was unable to do, and through ex- posure during inlement weather contracted severe : inflammation rhematisnr, ; which made him a helpless eripple, and he he was lotely consigned to the poor arylum. 4Thelie aro funny incidents in the life of a photographer,' said a well-known artist, 'A man came in the other day and looked over all the samples, asking the price of each.

This splendid star, which eves in our most powerful telescopes, appears as a mere point of light, is in re- allity a globe emitting so enor- mous a quantity of lightand heat,( that, wore it to take the place of the sung every creature on this earth wound be consurned by its burning rays. Sirius shining with far greater lustre than any other star, it was natural for astronomers to regard it as the nearest of all the "fixed" stars, but recent investigation on the distances of the stars has shown that the nearest to us is Alpha Centauri, a star belonging to the Southern latitudes, though it is probable that Sirius is about fourth or the list in the order of distance. For though these are about fifteen or twenty stars whose distances have been conjectured, the astronomers knows that in re- ality ail of them, save three or four, lie at distances too great to be measured by any instrument wo have at present. Astronomers agree in fixing the distance of the nearest star at '}2,000,000,000,000 miles; and it is certain that the distance of Sirius is more than throe and less than six times that of Alpha Centauri, most likely about five times; so that we are probably not far from the truth if we sot the distance of Sirius at about100,000,000,j000,000 ofmiles I What a vast distance is this which separates us from that great star ; words and figures of themselves fail to convey to our minds the adequate idea of its true character. To take a common example of illustrating such enormous dis- tances : It is calculated that the ball from an Armstrong 100pound- er quits the gun with the speed of 400 yards per second. Now if this velocity coud be kept up it would require no fewer than 100, 000,000 years before the ball could reach Sirius.—Chamber's Journal.

THE SIBERIAN PRISON SYSTEM. If the Czar does not take steps to modify the workings and eff- ects of the prison system in Siberia it will not be because the existing evils aro not called to his atten- tion, or, at least, to the notice of his ministers and others ars and him. Private letters and dis- patches from St. Petersburg state that petitions from Eng- land, America, Germany and other countries aro arriving at tho respective ombassiee and lega- tions in great profusion, with re- quests that they be laid before the Czar immediately. Forwarding petitions into Russia is a compar- atively easy matter, but laying it before the Czar is quite another thing, and it is extremely doubtful whether his Imperial Majesty will over see a single one of the numer- ous appeals to his clemency in be- half of the Siberian exiles, though ho will doubtless bo informed as to their number, volume and charactot•, Tho Government of- ficers still stoutly aver that the reports of cruelty aro wholly un- true, and if any thing is done to mitigate the unhappy condiition of those poor unfortunates, it is safe to say it will bo done so gnlet- ly that nothing will over be defi- nitely known as to the diameter and extegt of the modifications. ideals.

Travelers by land or sea are liable to constipation or other derangements of the stomach and bowels which, if neglected, lead to serious and often fatal consequences. The most sure means of correcting these evils is the use of Ayer's Cathartic Pills. The pru- dent sailing -master would as soon go to sea without his chronometer as without a supply of these Pills. Though prompt and energetic in operation, Ayer's Pills leave no ill effects ; they aro purely vegetable and sugar-coated ; the safest medicine for old and young, at home or abroad. "For eight years I was afirted with constipation, which at last , became so bad that the doctors could do no more for me. Then I began to take Ayer's Pills, and soon the bowels reeovereal their natural and regular action, so that now I am in Excellent health."—:bars. C. E. Clark, Tewksbury, Massachusetts. I regard Ayer's Pills as one of the most reliable general remedies of our times. They have been in use in my family for affections requiring a purga- tive, and have given unvarying satisfac- tion. We have found them an excellent remedy for colds and Light fevers."— W. R. Woodson, Fort Worth, Texas.
