“THY BURDEN.»
To every one on earth
God gives a burden to be carried down
The toad that lies between the cross
and crown,
No lot is wholly free;
He giveth oue to thee.
Some carry it aloft.
Opel and visible to any eye ;
And all may see its form and weight
and size;
Some hide it in their breast
And deem it thus unguessed.
Thy burden is God's gift,
And it will make the bearer calm and
strong,
Yet,lest it pres. too heavily and long,
He says, 'Cast it on me,
And it shall easy be."
And those who heed his voice,
And seek to give it back in trustful
prayer,
Have quiet hearts that never can des.
pair ;,
A, d hope lights up the way
Upon the darkest day.
Take thou thy burden thus
Into thy hands, and lay it at His feet
.And whether it be sorrow or defeat,
Or pain, or sin, or care,
Upon the aarkest day.
It is the lonely load
That crnsheut the life and Light of
heaven,
But borne with him, the soul restored,
forgiven
Sings out through all the days,
Her joy,and God's high praise,
The following beautiful Iines appear
in "Leaves from a Life," a new poem
by Clara H. Mountcastle (Carie Sima)
Clinton, Ont., which will in a short
time be published ;—
Alone down the valley I wander,
I pass through the shadow 9f.deatb,
With weary and faltering footsteps,
4th-ficant-and. vv illi-fluivering-br ate.
And I know,as my mind reaches back-
ward
Or forward, in search of life's goal,
There's a mystery,mind cannot fathom
In thin wonderful love of the soul.

A Wocistock despatch says:
The col mner's jury selected to

ofdohn Pipo, of .Blenheim Town-
ship, have found that he died by
his own ]land while in a fit of
temporary insanity. Pipe was
found on Monday morning lying
in a pool of water on his farm,
with a gunshot in his breast. A
1 andkerchiof was tied to a tree
near the spot as if to call atten-
tion to the whereabouts of the
bed y; and the gun, lately discharg-
ed, was not far off. Mrs Pipe
swore that the night before
Christmas be went to a prayer
meeting. The minister asked all
those who desired to bo prayed
for to sts nd up. Mr Pipo stood
up with others, and the minister
said that there was one man who
did not deserve to be prayed for.
Pipe took the remark home to
himself and, according to bis wife's
.evidence, had not had a good
night's rest since. On Sunday
night he retired without undress-
ing and got up about midnight,
claiming that he was unable to
Bleep. Towards morning his wife
heard a shot, and the neighbors
were aroused, with the result that
he was found as described. He
was a mao about 40 years of age
and well to-do. He resided on
lot d, concession 10, Blenheim,
not far from Wolverton.
Miss Christie Simington, aged
30, of unsound mind, living with
her aged mother about five miles
from Thamosville, left her bed,
dressed herself and unnoticed loft
the house about two o'clock Sun-
day morning. Upon being miss-
ed search was made for her, but
without success. During the
forenoon her tracks were found
leading towards the Thames. At
the bank were found marks where
she slipped down. She rose a-
bout three or four paces from the
water's edge and walked into the
river, It being very dark it is
evident she did not seo where she
was going. The river is being
dragged for the body, but the
work is very difficult as the water
is high and the current is very
rapid.

carelessness is culpable which
takes no account of the dates of

when the offspring may be looked

of Monti•cal. He was 17 years of
age when ho discovered that lie
was possessed of great strength.
He happened to be out walking
ono day when ho came across a
waggon load of bricks stuck in
the mud. - Ife weighed at that
time 240 pounds. Cyr got under

ground. Cyr is now 27 years of

by his marvelous strength. His
mother was a powerful, woman,
who considered the carrying of a
barrel of floor up two flight of

265 pounds- His father tipped
the scales at 220 pounds, but was
not gifted with any remarkable
weight lifting ability. He has

The remarkable thing about
Cyr's performances is that ho uses
no harness. In New York city,
Dec 20, 1868, Wm B Curtis made
a harness lift of 4,239 pounds.
At Berthier•villo, Canada, Oct 1,
1881, Cyr, without harness, raised
3,636 pounds of pig iron. He
confidently expects to lift 4,500
pounds before ne retires.
For tw3 years Cyr bas abstain-
ed from the use of liquor and
tobacco. This be says bas in-
creased his lifting ability 700
pounds. Ho eats five or six
pounds of meat a day, and pays
double board. Cyr's last and
greatest lift was '3,993 pounds.
At a recent exhibition given by
Cyr in Lewiston, Me, ho picked
up a barrel of flour with one hand
and put it on his shoulder as if it
were a bundle of cotton batting.
With ono finger ho raised two
great dumb bells with a man
weighing 160 pounds upon th m,

He lifted the bells and the man

Then gravely walking, two saints by
name,
Down to the stream together came,
But as they stopped at the river's brink,
I sate one saint from tl a other shrink.
"Sprinkled or plunged, may I ask you,
friend.
How youattained to life's great end ?"
"Thus, with a few drops on my brow."
"But I have been dipped, as you'll see
me now.
"And I really it will be hard to do,
As I'm 'close communion, to cross with
you ;
You're bound, I know,:tolthe realms of
bliss,
But you must go that way, and I'll go
this.,"
Then straightway plunging with all his
might.
Away to the left -his friend at the
right,
Apart they went from this world of sin,
But at last together they entered in.
And now, when the river was rolling
on,
A Presbyterian church wsnt down;
Of women there seemed a pondrous
throng,
But the men I could count • as they
pass'd along.
And concerning the road, they could
never agree,
The Old or the New way, which it
should be,
Nor ever a moment paused to think
That both would load to the river's
brink,
And a sound of mut.nuring long and
loud,
Came ever up from the moving crowd,
"You're in the Old way, and I'm in the
New.
That is false and this is true;"—
Or, "I'm in the Old way, and you're in
the New,
This is the false, and that is the true."
But the brethren only seem'd to speak,
Modest the sisters walk'd, and meek, •
And if ever one of them chanced to say,
What troubles she met with on the Way,
How ahe long'd to pass to the other side,
Nor fear'd to cross over the swelling
tide,
A voice rose from the brethren then:
" Let no one speak but the 'holy men:
For have ye not heard tho words of
Paul,
'Oh, let the women keep silence
I watch'd them long in my carious
dream'
'Till they stood by the bordeis of the

Then, just as I thought the two ways
met,

Robt Beatty, of Orangeville, writing:to the Company says:—"In summing up my waggon sales for the last six years,

therefore, must cc.- gratulate you on building the best waggon in Canada." It is said by some waggon makers that they
have spent a long life in the business, and that, therefore theirs is the better waggon. If this be so, how is it that this
company, who only commenced making waggons seven years ago, are now making and selling more waggons than the
wnele or them put together •? Simply because the public appreciate the fact that undoubtedly they make the best waggon
in the Dominion to -day ; and hereby invite anyone or all those waggon makers who make this claim for their waggons to
