May many to oar cause ineline,

Over each mountain and over each valley
Will echo the Temperance song,
Till round us for duty Shall rally, shall

The hopeful, the brave and the strong.
Children, the hope of the nation—
Bien from the Mlle and the glade ;
Some from the worthiest station,
Eagerly come to our aid.
Widows and orphans in sorrow,
Tell us their banger and woe ;
Smiling we whimper—to-morrow
We shall to victory go.
A THANKSGIVING FEAST.
We are the last, my daughter,
To set the table for two,
Where once we had plates for twenty,
Is a lonesome thing to do,
But my boys and girls are scattered
To the East and the West afar,
And he who was dearer than children
Has passed through the gates ajar.
I'm wanting my bairns for Thanksgiving,
I thought last night, as I lay
Awake in my bed, and watohing
For the breasting of the day,
How my heart would leap in gladness
If a letter should come this morn
To eay that they could not leave tie hero
To keep the feast alone,
Samuel, my sort in Alberto,
Is a riob mann, I bear,
And he'll never let want approach us
Save the wanting of hint near ;
While Jdc3t is in Manitoba, •
And Edward over the sen,
And only my little 308010
Is biding at home with the,
And I Reel like poor Naomi
When bock to her own she went,
And they said, "Is bbie Naomi 71'
She well knew what they meant.
I've stayed and the Bide have wandered,
And tihe time that was evift to go
When I was brisk and busy,
Is laggard and dull and slow.
0111 the happy time for matter
Is when her bairns are small,
And Into the nursery beds at night
She gathers her darlings all ;
When the wee ones ere about hoe
With gleeful noise and cry,
And elle beetles the tumult with a emilo,
11er (rood beneath her eye. '
But h'nrother must hear her burden,-
When
urden,When her babes aro bearded men,
On 'ohmage and in tine army,
Or seratehing away with a pen
In some haulier,
e dusty atm,
As Martin is, no doubt—
A mother must bear her burden,
And learn to do without,
I know the e0ripture teaching,
To keep the halt and blind,
And the immesh* and the desolate,
A6 the foetal h'mu in mind,
Of the fat and the meet a portion
I'll send to the poor 'non'e door,
But I'm wearying for my children
To sib at my board mute more.
I ball you, Jessie, my darling,
Title living for money and pelf,
It toffee the heart from life, dear,
It robs a man of himself.
This old, bleak hillside hamlet,
That sends its boys away,
Has right to claim them back, dear,
On the fair Thanksgiving day.
Shame on my foolish fretting I
Here are lettere, a palled sheaf ;
Open them quickly, dearest 1
Ab me, 'bis beyond belief 1
By ship and train they're hosting,
Rushing along on the way,
Tell the neighbors all my children
Will be here Thanksgiving day.
VOTI'1 Ali YOU PRAT.
Can you go on thus, my brother,
While praying day by day,
'Thy kingdom Dome, Thy will be done,'
And yet not vote ee you pray 7

Vote as you pray, my friends ; [day

But if you'd know your prayer is hoard,

Then always vote tie we pray.
COMING VICTORY.
There's a murmur in the valley, and
there's music on the hills,
There's a message full of promise every-
where
verywhere ;
We can read it in the sunbeams as they
dance upon the rills,
We can oats'' the floating cadence in the
air.

Onward, onward now the army still ad-
vances,
See its banners waving in the arm;
Onward. onward, now lot vicb'ry be the
watchword,
The battle by the ballot must be won 1
Lo 1 it whispers of the coming of a bet-
ter, brighter day,
And it bids us watch to see the glorious
dawn;
When the mists of sin and sorrow shall
bo driven for away,
As the army in its triumph marohes on.
Hear this army's heavy footfall, how it
shakes the solid ground,
As ill gathers to do battle for the right,
Hear the ringing voice of captains and
the thrilling bugle sound,
They are oallutg ns to master for the
fight.
Soon will mine a day of gladness, when
the victory we gain,
And our land, redeemed and raneomed
shall be free ;
We will join the voice of millions as they
shout the glad refrain
To the welcome song of Freedom's
Jubilee.

indeed, seldom did a communion service
arrfvo, without some visible evidonae of
tate fruit of his labors, wbieh greatly
cheered ham in lila .work. During his
laid illnese he was eourag00ua and hope-
ful till nearly the end, that tho Master
would spare him a little lenges to preach
the Goalie" to hle dear people, However,
when he saw that auoh wee not to be hie
lot, he mould say from hie heart, "Not
my will, bn3 Thine, be done," tied Das
willing "to depart ural bo forever with
the Lord." Thu Lord gave him doh
grape to glorify Him in dying. Ilia
faith was strong, his mind was Wear, and
hid peace was like a river. hhle life was
hid with Christ in God, and he was tra-
mmed that when through with the trials,
and aonfiiots, and labors of earth, he
would enter upon the possession of hie
Brother's fair kingdom, and eerie Him
who brought him day:and night in His
temple. His last words wore, "Jesus
save me. Come Jesus." During his
alffiotiet groat sympathy was manifest•
ed toward him and his family, by his
ooeoregation and other friends. All that
loving Marto and willing stands mould de
WOE done to cotnfort them in their ser.
row. The funeral was largely attended,
not only by his own congregation, but
many from the neighboring oongregablone
came to show their sympathy with the
family and congregation, and their re-
epeab for a minister much beloved. Itis
also well to note here that his brethren
of the Oddfellows, Homo Circle and
Royal Templars were present at the
funeral, to perform the fast offices of re•
aped to a faithful member. "Blessed
aro the dead which die in the Lord, from
henceforth ; yea, with the Spirit, that
they may rest from their labors, end
their works do follow them."
The Presbytery mot in Bruoefield on
the 14th inst. and passed a feeling
minute in reference to the subject of
the above nobles.
It is with the deepest sorrow that we
this week chronicle the death of the
Rev. J. H. Simpson, the beloved pastor
of Uaron church, Bruoefield, whioh took
plane at the manse, on Thursday morn.
ing, 9th inst. Mr. Simpson was born in
Montreal, on Nov. 15th, 1845, of 8001011
lineage; he Wae the youngest of twelve
children. Shortly after his birth his
parents moved to Hamilton ; after
providing a home his father suddenly
died of Asiatic cholera. Mr. Simpson
received his early education in the school
of Nelson township, and Dr. Green's
academy', Port Nelson, from which he
obtained his certificate, and began teach-
ing, which profession he followed for
eighteen years. When principal of the
Thorold Public+ School he formed the
congregation of Louth, which was after-
wards united to Merriton ; he was then
called to take charge of the whole field,
which he did for six years. During this
time ho attended Knox College, Toronto,
and graduated from that institution in
the spring of 1886. Several invitations
and offers of malls were extended to him,
but a very unanimous and hearty one
game from Union church, Bruoefield,
which he accepted, and oontinued as
pastor till death called him to his reward.
He entered upon hie work in Bruoefield
with meat enthusiasm, and received the
hearty sympathy and support of the
congregations, iu his efforts to build up
the great Redeemer's kingdom.
Tae wee a zealous temperance worker,
and strongly advocated the cense of total

op an interest in the religions training of
the young. He also threw his whole
heart and soul into the Christian Hndea•
vor movement, and organized, in connee-
tion with his own congregation, the first
sooioty in Huron, and thus scoured a
band of zealous young Christiane to rally
around him and assist him fu oarrying
on the Lord's work. Hie sermons ware
plain, pointed, and full of the Gospel.

An organization was formed at Toronto
on Wednesday of last week, with Edward
Meek ee President and Dr. Samuel Lin-
uer as Secretary, the object of whioh will
be to fight the approaching plebiscite on
prohibition.
It is altogether likely that A. S. Hardy,
Commissioner of Orown Lands, will take
an active part ill the coming prohibition
campaign. Should Mr. Hardy take the
prohibition platform, he will make his
debat at Brantford at an early date.
A warrant has been issued for the
arrest of a young man named Albert
Swazio, of respeotable parentage, and re•
siding at Kelvin, charging him with the
orime of murder. Swazie has fled and
the officers are now endeavoring to trate
him. The facts, which are at the mo-
ment of the most meagre character,
seem to be these :—At Drumbo Fair
Swazi° and a young man named Ewing,
in the neighborhood of Kelvin, fell out
and had a fight. Swazie got rather the
worst of the quarrel at the time bat vow•
ed he would meet hie antagonist again.
They met Thursday of last week and the
feud of Drumbo Fair was renewed. In
the course of the fight Swazie is alleged
to have kinked the young man in the
stomach. The Molt paused a rupture
from which the young man died.
A very sad acaideot occurred at Dor-
°beater, Ont., about 2:40 o'clock Friday
afternoon, whereby three men were ser-
iously injured and a valuable horse killed.
Mr. Crouse, bridge builder, has a large
gang of men at present building the shone
pier for the new bridge which spans the
river Thames at this point. One span of
the old wooden structure was left stand-
ing, so that 16 could be used to draw the
atone over the centre piece. A. number
of men were standing on the bridge, and
when the team drove on it with a load of
stone the bridge began to sway and be-
fore all could get off it went down to the
bottom of the river, parrying the team
and throe of the workmen. They were
taken out of the wreak in a badly bruised
condition. Dootors set the broken limbs,
but cannot eay yet as to the extent of
their Injuries. A man named Prodgers,
belonging to London, was among the
injured and his case is very serious.
John E. Hayes, a farmer, residing in
Houghton Township, County of Norfolk,
visited Toronto while the Industrial Fair
was in progress. As he was walking in
King street one afternoon he was aocost-
ad familiarly by a stranger who called
him by a wrong name. The Norfolk
man set the stranger right, mentioning
to him incidentally what his real name
was, whereupon the stranger gracefully
apologized and departed. Next day the
Norfolk math was again greeted in the
street by a stranger who addled his name
aoourately, and who, by his conversation,
appeared to be wholly familiar with Nor-
folk County and Houghton Township in
particular. The upshot of the last meet-
ing was that the citizen from John Chart.
ton's county Poll a victim to the bunco
men and that in a quiet room they fleeced
him of $80 in cash, and formed him to
sign oheque for $700. In due own se the
cheques were presented for payment, but
orders had been given not 1,0 pay them
and they were protested. More was
heard of them rooeubly through the fol-
lowing letter addressee' to Hayes :

It has
often
been
conte n-
ded by
physi o -
logists
and men
of sci-
e n c e
generally, that nervous energy or
nervous impulses which pass
along the nerve fibres, were only
other names for electricity.
This seemingly plausible state-
ment was accepted for a time,
but has been completely aban-
doned since it has been proved
that the nerves are not good con-
ductors of electricity,and that the
velocity of a nervous impulse is
but 100 feet per second—which
is very much slower than that
of electricity. It is now gener-
ally agreed that nervous energy,
or what we are pleased to call
nerve fluid, is a wondrous, a
mysterious force, in which dwells
life itself.
A very eminent specialist, who
has studied profoundly the work-
ings of the nervous system for
the last twenty-five years, has
lately demonstrated that two-
thirds of all our ailments and
chronic diseases are due to de-
ranged nerve centres within or et
the base of the brain.
All know that an injury to the
spinal cord will cause paralysis
to the body below the injured
point. The reason for this is,
that the nerve force is prevented
by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion.
When food is taken into the
stomach, it comes in contact
with numberless nerve fibres in
the wall of this organ which at
once send a nervous impulse to
the nerve centres which control
the stomach, notifying them of
the presence of food ; whereupon
the nerve centres send down a
supply of nerve force or nerve
fluid, to at once begin the opera-
tion of digestion. But lot the
nerve centres which control the
stomach be deranged and they
will not be able to respond with
a sufficient supply of nerve force
to properly digest the food, and,
as a result, indigestion and dys-
pepsia make their appearance.
So it is with the other organs of
the body, if the nerve centres
which control them and supply
them with nerve force become
deranged, they aro also derang-
ed.
The wonderful success of the
remedy known as the Great
South American Nervine Tonic
is duo to the fact that it is pre-
pared liy one of the most
eminent physicians and special-
ists of the ago, and is based on
the foregoing scientific discovery
