At the next station he was drop- ped on by the guard, who gave him several pokes in the ribs and turned him out. Noting daunted our peasant waited for the next train and was conveyed a station further, where he met with smilar treatment.

I had a letter the other day, evidently from a woman, and she said : 'Would yon mind answering the question, 'What is a man ?" More or less intimate acquain- tance with mankind makes mo feel that I can reply to this ques- tion. .Aman is an animal who would scorn divided skirts and yet spend two hours selecting the kind of' cloth he wants used for his trou- sers. A man is an animal who can be flattered and coaxed into anything but once you start to drive him the mule -like nature is upper- most. A man is an animal who thinks he is a little tin god on wheels and never realizes that he isn't until he is down flat on his back with the malaria and a woman has to wait on him. A man is an animal who is de- sirable when you are in trouble, because the brute in him being greater he can swear more and hit out straighter from the shoulder than you can, A man is an animal' who eats the very best he can get and who prefers to drink the same quality, but frequently becomes a tank for holding bad whisky. A man is an animal made for the benefit of 'woman and the more she can get out of him in the way of kindness and love the more has he fulfilled his duty in in life, but with all his faults we love him Still. being on band hndfilled her' with honor that 1 s not ' ; ing up the lake the former opted 0 i 'n upon �1' 1. wInrni ere do �qu .live 2 a erre I turtle e a h 1. .�auville' t t11t1.surface .a short dis,anctl fsolli 'And oa have neither wife alar 1 t.holm ge instantly 'str'etdIc41 it r 2' out 1118 ba ad to ibo un()outfit voy- oh d ea I 'No.' - agf+F', and called nut: "Pete, 1'ete, At that instant the conduotol' was wee ing and laruonting,whfan led out the address.

Neuralgia is one of" the most common and distressing com- plaints incidental to this climate. It is not confined to any particu- lar season, for whilst m t gener- al in the winter seasonset many suffer its excruciating agony in the heat of summer. In late years this form of disease has be- come better known, and conse- quently the means of relief have become greatly increased in num- ber as well as in efficacy. Among the most powerful and penetrat- ing combinations, placed within the reach of the public for the re- lief of neuralgia, we can mention no remedy equal to or more cer- tain than Poison's Nerviline. Its power over pain is something wonderful, and we advise a trial for neuralgia, and other painful complaints.

Be n3ticed a neat harness in a fr.end's posses- sion—that it looked better than his owe, which he had not cleaned since he bought it, and offered to swap and pay $5 boot. The friend accented the offer. The butcher took no batter care of this har- ness than of the other, and it soon showed itself a rather poor article. Some time after he met his friend with a very handsome new har- ness on his horse and again offer- ed to trade.

To theliditorof the Clinton New Era. DEAR Sia,—There is an old adage that says "a prophet is not without honor save in his own country," and the saying is generally accepted as contain- ing mncb truth. Indeed it is expand- ed into the generally accepted belief 'that true merit, whether it be that of an individual, or that of some medici. nary preparation is much more likely to meet with popular approval at a dis- tance than at home. Nasal Balm, ac- knowledged as being the greatest remedy for cold in the head and catarrh, ever offered the people of Canada, affords a striking instance of the fact that popu- lar opinion, for once, at least, is wrong. From the outset its popularity in the home of its manufacture has been un- bounded and constantly increasing. In evidence of this we offer testimon- ials from two Brockville gentlemen who are known throughout the Domin- ion. D. Derbyshire, Esq.,Mayor of Brock- ville and for the past two years Presi' dent of the Ontario Creamery Associa- tion says:—"Your Nasal Balm is truly a wonderful remedy. I may say that I was afflicted with a distressing case of catarrh, accompained by a number of its disagreeable symptoms. I had tried other remedies, but without avail, and well-nigh despaired of a cure, when I was induced to give Nasal Balm a trial. Its, -effects were wonderful, and the results arising from its use surpris- ing. Brie$y stated, it stops the dropp- ings into the throat, sweetens the breath, relieves the headaches that follow catarrh, and in fact makes one feel altogether like a new man No one who is suffering from catarrh in any of its stages should lose -a moment in giving this remedy a trial." James Smart, Esq., Brockville, Sher- iff of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, says:—"lt would be im- possible to speak too extravagantly of the -wonderful curative properties of Nasal Balm. I suffered for upwards of a month from a severe cold in the head, which, despite the use of other remedies, was becoming worse and developing into catarrh. I procured e bottle of Nasal Balm and was relieved from the first application and thorough- ly cnred within twenty-four hours. I cheerfully add my testimony to the Balm." value of Nasal u These are but two illustrations out the hundreds of testimonials the pro. prietore of Nasal Bairn have had from all parts of the Dominion, but they ought to convince the most skeptical. If your dealer does not keep Nasal Balm it will be sent on receipt of price 50 cents small size and $1 large size bottle—by addressing Fuironn L Co., Brockville, Ont. Frank Wilkinson, grain buyer at Hamilton, says: "I used several medi- cines and found no relief until I tried Wilson's Compound Syrup, Wild Cherry." Less than one bottle cured him of a long standing and painful cough with tightness of chest and short breath. Sold by all druggists. Mrs Brindle—I must have some money to -day, William.

When the train drew up at Vin- connes, Indiana, among the pas- sengers who alighted was a plump, red-cheeked German girl, about 20 years old. She looked around expectantly, and after a few minutes sat down on her oak chest, which was covered with labels, and began to cry. Some- thing was wrong, and all were ready to extend sympathy. She could not speak a word of Eng- lish, but when an interpreter was called she explained that she had tomo on from the old country to marry a young German; living in or near Vincennes.
