waa troubled with catarrh for over
two years. I tried various remedies,
and was treated 14 a number of Physi-
cians, but received tno benefit until I
began. to take Ayers (;sarsaparilla. A
few bottles of this medietne cured me of
this troublesome complaint and com-
pletely restored my health.". --Jesus M.
Boggs, Holman's Vilna, N. 0.
'"When. Ayer's zarrsaparilla was rec-
ommended to me for catarrh, I was in-
clined to doubt its efficacy. HavIug
tried so many remedies, with little ben-
efit, I had no faith that anything would
cure me, I became emaciated from lose
of appetite and impaired digestion, I
had nearly lost the sense of emelt, and
my system was badly deranged. I was
about discouraged, when a friend urged
me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and re-
ferred me to persons whom it had cured
of catarrh. After taking half a dozen
bottles of this medicine, I am convinced
;!tat the only sure way of treating this
obstinate disease is through the blood,"

THE OLD FLAG DOWN BY
THE SEA.
A sermon on national matters de-
livered recently by Rev. E. H.
Burgess, of Stillarton., N. S. has
been published and will find a re-
ponse in every true Canadian heart
We can give space for only a por
Lion of, the patriotic discourse. Af
ter referring to the efforts made by
Americans to shake the allegiance of
Canadians the speaker said:
Therefore., I say, thele is some-
thing more dangerous time this
attempt to trauster our allegiance.
And this is the persistent way we
aro being slandered •by some who
called themselves .Canadiaua and_are
thetnselves partakers in the general
prosperity. . .All the more unfor-
tunate 'is it that some who do this
•occupy h.igb .positions, and at their
beck a portion of the press of Can-
ada prostrates, I had almost said de-
bases., itself. What shall we say of
enc,h Men differ honestly on the
general policy of the country,' and
we admire their intregrity. They
can fight in a manly way their poli•
tical opponents and be loyal to
Canada. But when persons slander
their own country, their own
mother, what shall we say of them?
As we mention their names what
depth of contempt, of „loathing,
would be appropriate ? But the
danger Hes iu .the fact that such
slander is injuring us at home and
abroad. It not only tends to keep
desirable immigrants from coming
to us, but it sends away many of our
young then- It hinders capitalists
front coininginamong us to develop
our resources for what stranger can
we expect to have confidence in our
country until we show we have con-
fidence in it ourselves? Therefore
wo ebould stared uF against this,
We should bo of good courage, and
play the mon for our people and
or the cities of our God. We
hould bo strong to defend the
ountry's reputation. I appeal to
rue Canadians. have respect for

ho reach of censure, should be true

the Gospel that should be preach -
d in our churches, and you know
tat I myself strive faithfully to
WE this obligation. But to stand
p in defence of one's country is not
my compatible with the preaching
f the Gospel, but is one's sacred

lor.ymen, ignoring the spirit of par -

EEEP TIIE OLD FLAG TO THE
FORE.
Who dares to repeat to Britain the slat -
der.
"The mother of nations is dying?"
Her hand
Still fa ready to succour, still potent to
punish,
Oppressed and oppresaer, on sea or on
land ;
VVherevet the cause of humanity calla
her
There duty impels, and she asks noth-
ing more ;
'Wherever right beckons to might for as-
sistance,
Her banner will ever be found, to the
fore.
In the days of Old Rome, the proud
boast, "I'm a Roman !"
Heid power more potent than piincea
posaesed ;
O'er a quarter of Europe, of Asia a por-
tion,
The plea was a passport, the boaster
woe bled,
With a watehword more grand, a new
nation hue risen :
Wherever the banner of day is un-
furled
There flatters the flag of Old England
triumphant.
"I'm a. Briton !" 's a passport all over
the world;
•
Then np, favored sons of this Mother of
Nations,
And fight for her fame while you abare
her renown :
Lift her banner aloft with a hearty "God
bless it,"
And wee to the traitor that tramples it
down ?
St. Anirew's blue cross, who shall darn
to defame it?
An emblem of peace wheresoever it
stands ;
St. George's red cross, who will dare to
defy it?
An union of fl;tge, and of hearts, and of
hands,
Tune the harp of old Tara, ye eons of St.
Patrick,
And warble, the lyrics of Erin ouce
more.
March forth with your shamrock and
caerinzille Jealfhe.i,
Great' Britain and Ireland's flag to the
fore;
Ye sons of Old England, rejoice in your
birthright
And honor not purchased with silver
enollyd gold, ;
Your mistletoe twiserwfth yotir-r�
h
And clown the Oid Flag Like the
I')ruids of old.
Ye brave, hardy sons of the mountains
and heather,
With etathepeys and bagpipes your
pledgee renew;
flurrah ! for the flag that floats p: oadly
above you,
And bldoff in its honor your bonnets of
ue:
tVe loyal C. nadiane, by birth or adop-
tion,
The Mother of Mations will ever adore
Make our Maple Laaf land her moat
noble posession,
heep her weal in our hearts and her
flag to the fore.

18S6. Geutlemon : Recently while in
the act of alightiug from my car 1
stepped upon a stone, which turning sura-
denly under my foot, threw me to the
around with a sevetely eprained ankle.
Suffering exceedingly, I was helped into
the car and my man rubbed mo most
generously with arnica and kindred re•
medics, but to no avail. Reaching a
station where St. Jacobs Oil could be
secured, two bottles of it were bought
and the application resultsi at once in a
reliet from pain, which bed become well
nigh unbeerahle. Iwas out and about
my work in three days. W. W. PEA -

In some way the knowledge that
this notorious ori)rninal was to bo
put to death this morning became
kuown and a noisy and exciltedt
crowd gathered about the p1'
w here the guillotine was set upt
The approaches to the ace
were guarded by lines of troo
who kept the way clear for the con
deemed man and the executioner's
party, ji,avaohol was brought out
of the prison in a closed van,
Though he could not be seen he
could bo hoard uttering blasphemous
Cries.
In the ecily horning light the
scene was a weird ono. .A -s Ravachol
descended from the van silence !'ell
upon the crowd.
Once alongside the guillotine the
prisouer was seized by the assistants
of M. DeBlock, the executioner,
who soon Sound him hand and foot.
His elbows were drawn back be-,
hind hint and bound together ; his
shirt was opened at the neck and
turned down, and in a. moment his
unlesistiug form WAS pushed upon
the bascule, the sliding plank that
carries the body forward' in a re,
dining position, so that the neck is
directly under the knife.
Just as ho was slid forward
Itavachol shouted, "I have some-
thing to say."
De Block paid no attention what•
ever to this, but proceeded to let
the knife diop.
Ji at as the heavy blade started
on its fatal juurued Ravachol shout-
ed "Vire la republiquo," and a
second later hie severed head was
lying in the basket placed in front
of the guillotine to receive it.
After the morbid curiosity of, the
crowd had been fully satisfied by
seeing the end of Yoavechol they
slowly dispersed. There , was no
incident among the crowd worthy
of note.
There is a general feeling of re—
lief now that this depraved of

DPI ANIS THE DOSE BRAVELY
A recent .French writer on "The
Revolution, the Empire and the
Reformation," cites an amusing in.
stance of what 110 calls Heroic cour-
tesy.
Percy, Lord Beverly, Invited to
dine with hits a marquis who was
one of the most valiant soldiers of
the army of Conde. Wishing to
honor his guest and the cause which
he served, that bf the French king,
the English peer ordered .his butler
to bring him a bottle'of fine wine
one hundred years old, "a ray of
sunshine in crystal." • ,

ed a Lo ass to the marquis, saying:
"If you dem ltouor,
Ott ,11 co0li^14r11,s"4 , ; ° .:;mow^
ltealtlteor the king'?"
The marquis tasted the wine.
"How do you life it 1" asked the
host.

Sport -1 say, .Iacic, can't you give me a
tip on the Suburban ?. .
Jockey—I never gives tips ; I sells 'em.
Sport—Well, here's a fiver.
Jockey—Thanks, Don't bet on nothin' ;
that's the straightest tip against losin' your
dust I knows of.—Harper's Weekly.
Living on Nothing.
The last Parisian device for living well*
upon nothing at all is noteworthy. A
gentleman who has no money to pay for
his dinner at a cafe, goes to one that is for
sate, and proposes td boy it. The price
shits him (for all prices are alike to him) ;
but he expresses a rle:enable desire to see
whether the business is really what it is
represented to be, and therefore patronizes
it for a week on trifal before signiug the
agreement. In the meantitne it is not
worth while to settle such a bagatelle as
his own bill, and after the sixth day, he is
seen no more. He is patronizing some
other. cafe.—N. Y. Independent.

Belle—When did you first suspect Us in-
constancy?

Blanche—No ; it was typewritten...—

"Then," said Lord Beverly, "fine
ish the glints; only in a full glass can
ono drink the health of so great and
-o unfortunate a king." •
Without hestitatlon the marquis
d d as he %r s bidden. Only when
the Euglisl man tasted the wine did
lie learn that what he lied forced on
his guest wns castor oil ; and hence-
forth he held the politeness of the
French towards the English in„the
highest esteem.
The tobacco of Martinco was once the
favorite with the emokinq world, and
when old Father Hennipen descended
the Mississippi about 1630 the Indians
wore much surprised to see a Earopean
with such an excellent sample of their
native plant. But the smokers cf the
"Myrtle Navy” would give brit a poor
account of the once celebrated Martinico.
Their favorite brand is as much seperior
to it as it was to the raw and uncured
leaf which the Indians of that day smok-
ed.
