Petah and POwer.
"The other day," said. a lady, not
tong ago, "a soft satin ribbon blew
a ainst my faee when I raised a window.
You will scarcely believe me, but the
force of the wind that suddenly came in
wu such that that smooth, innocent
little ribbon fairly scratched my face.
I had always known that momentum
was made up of weight multiflied by
power, bat I had never encountered a
case in which so little weight produced
so tremendous a product."
The lady had not applied this fact,
blit an analogy may well be drawn from
it. • Do we not constantly see men of
fine mind, exceptional education, add
high purpose who count for almost noth-
ing m the community in which- they
live ? The finest personal gifts are ren-
dered valueless, so far as society at large
is concerned, by a. lack of energy in the
one tieho possesses thern. And may not
a mother take heart if a child who has.
been pronounced a dunce by short-sight-
ed teachers, shows the qualities of con-
centration and perseverance?
Several ladies who were visiting a
school together, were called upon to ex-
press an opinion regarding the inclividus
al promise indicated by the appearance
of the children before them. Two or
three pointed oat a boy with a:fine head
and calm and thoughtful face, who sat
in a back seat, and studied quietly
through all the exercise. Others thought
that a girl who exhibited similar qual-
ities, was rather the flower of the
school.
"You have chosen well," said the
teacher,in a triumphant whisper. "Those
two are my best scholars. They have
beautiful minds, and are really wonder-
ful."
" But," said another of the visitors,
who had not yet pronounced her opinion,
but who had been closely observing the
busy Iittle throng before them, "no one
of you has selected the child who seems
to me to give promise of the greatest
usefulness in the world. His head may
not be of so classic a shape as those of
the children you have mentioned, but I
have been watching his indefatigable in-
dustry with his slate, and I tell you that
such energy as his is worth more to the
world in the way of progress than all the
fine minds we have, without it"
There was considerable discussion over
this point, but it is not unlikely that the
opinion of the last speaker was the right
one. She may have been mistaken about
the case in point, but, generally speak-
ing, it is not .the most finely endowed
boy, nor the most thoughtful,- who ac-
complishes most in the world, but the
boy or girl who is most active,energetic,
and fertile in expedients. The reason is
plain. The intellect whielt adapts itself
readily to the world set for it,and which
follows most easily the leading of others,
is not necessarily of the original, keen,
strong kind. In fact, it is very likely
to be exactly the opposite. •
Mothers, do not dub the boys
dunces who cannot always learn their
lessons: and do not think too well of
those who stand highest in their classes.
Fortunately, in these days the study and
investigation of the sciences have come
in to make bright men out of many a
poor fellow, who would have been called
a fool to the end if he had kept to his
Greek and Hebrew.
If you can once succeed in developing
the "push," the perseverance, and the
"pluck " cif a, boy, you may trust him
safely to take stand in later life along-
side, perhaps in advance, of the man
whose boyhood looked so promising.
And a mother can develop " push " in a
boy by urging him to carry out plans
that he has made whether for pleasure
or profit. When he has devised a scheme
that shows forethought and ingenuity,
he should be led to carry it out in order
that he may acquire confidence in his
awn powers ; and confidence when
based upon ability, is a most desirable
motor.
Momentum is made up of weight mul-
tiplied by power, and a little weight
may be made to produce enormous mo-
mentum by the application of the requir-
ed power.
Bedding.
The most healthful bedding is that
which combines least weight with
greatest warmth, arid permits the air to
pass most freely through it. For this -
reason comfortables are to be preferred to
quilts, and warm wool blankets to
either. But biaukets, even under thei
depressing 'influence of tariff -legisla-
tion," andthe low price of our fine Mer-
ino wools on the sheep's back, are worth
money. Comfortables are much more
universal in use. The venerable relic of
past ages, which has been washed and
re-covered, and washed and covered
again till it is as impervions to air as a
sheet of rubber, should be retired on a
pension. I cannot think of any good
use for it, but do not use it on the
bed. It is a false economy, an economy
which militates against health., to use
anything which confirms the impure air
within the bed -clothing. The weight,
toe, in proportion to the warmth, is ex
cessive, giving one a feeling of being
held down, which tires and exhausts.
Cotton and print are very cheap: it • is
good policy to renew the cornfortables
every few years. And I can recommend
those made of cheese cloth as being light,
cheap and warm, three great requisites.
When the covering is soiled, the com-
fortable cart be unmade, and the cover
washed; if the cotton must be used
again it should be throughly aired, but
not washed, whieh always makes it
heavy and thick. A comfortable should
never be renewed in arly other way but by
re -Making. A breadth of print like the
cover, bolded over and sewed on the
upper end of the comfortable, keeps it
from, becoming soiled, and can easily be
removed, washed and replaced.
Comforters of cotton sateen in bright
colors are quite popular at the moment;
when new, they look like satin, and are
Very pretty, and are not very expensive.
Some ladies have followed the passing
fancy of dressing the beds in colors,
bright cover, and lace pillow shams
lined with the same tint. Nothing,
however, is so dainty as snowy white,
with its suggestions of purity and re-
pose. Pillow shams have had their day,
and are much less used, but ladies who
have to use a bedroom for other than
its legitimate purpose cling to them, as
imparting a " dressed up air" and sav-
ing a frequent change of pillow slips.
- A pretty counterpane can be made of
a heavy material known as bolton sheet-
ing, which is two yards wide. Have
an outline pattern of flowers or fancy
arabesque stamped on it, or if you have
skill, draw it with pencil. Outline the
pattern in Kensington stitch with heavy
etching cotton in a color, and trace a
vine or Greek key pattern for a border.
Edge with wide coarse lace. The same.
reduced in size, is neat and tasteful for
the baby's crib. If desirable, shams for
the pillows can be etched in the same
fashion. A new fashion for making the
small comforts which are thrown over
the foot of the bed, for use if one is
chilly during the night, has a Turkey red
centre, a yard and an eighth long, and
alxnu 30 inches wide. This is bordered
by strips of cretonne, a, white ground
with Turkey red flowers, or a red ground
with white flowers, as is preferred.
Next this is a puff, four inches wide,
of the plain red, gathered to an inch
wide strip of the red. It is lined with
cheese cloth, and tied with tufts, of red
worsted. Some use No. 1 ribbon for
the purpose an unnecessary expense,
however. The comfort is very pretty
when finished.
I am a relentless foe to patch work
quilts. They have no excuse for being,
6nless the machine has done the patch-
work and the quilting. Their worth
never equals the value of the work put
upon them. I always feel like saying
Poor woman !" when I _read in print
of 3,000 or 4,000 scraps sewed together
for a quilt, as if it were a praiseworthy
achievement. I regard it rather as an
instance of badly misdirected energy.
Poor woman! With all this glorious
world about us, so much to learn in it
and of it, such treasures in nature and
in books, and this precious legacy of
Time which is slipping past us on noise-
less wings so rapidly we scarcely re-
alize its flight, and she can find nothing
better to do with her heritage than sew
scraps of calico together, falsely believ-
ing that in spending life's golden mo-
ments thus, she is doing best service in
her sphere! What a grave mistake!

COUNCIL MEETING. —A meeting of the
municipal council of the township of
Hullett was held at Londesboro on the
30th of June, 1886. All the members
present. A petition was read from
Wm. L. Ouimette and 26 others, pray-
ing that the council would place Sarah
Grantham, an imbecile girl, in some
suitable institution for safe keeping.
The clerk was instructed to get the
said Sarah Grantham into some suitable
institution where she will be properly
taken care off at the least possible cost.
The Reeve was granted two months'
leave of absence. The Reeve and
Treasurer were authorized to borrow
$1,000 from the Molson Bank in Clin-
ton to pay current expenses, and the
assessor to be paid $5 for -extra services
and J. Brunsdon $60.45 for new scrap-
ers, &c. J. Lasham and J. Britton
were instructed to have St. John's bridge
repaired. Agravel sidewalk was ordered
to be made from Londesboro to the rail-
way station, under the direction of J.
Lasham. Twenty-five cords of gravel
are to be put on side road 20 and 21,
concession 14, under the direction of J.
Lasham and J. Brigham; the treasurer
to pay for said work on the orders ol the
said councillors. The council then ad-
journed to .meet again when called by
the Reeve or clerk.

An Officer Who Never Drank.
When • General Grant was in com-
mand of the army before Vicksburg, a
number of officers were gathered at his
headquarters. One of them invited the
party to join in a social glass; all but
one accepted. He asked to be excused,
saying that he "never drank." The
hour paSsed, and each went his way to
his respective command. A fewdays
after this the officer who declined to
drink received a note from General
Grant to report at headquarters. He
obeyed the order, and Grant said to him,
" Yon are the dicer, I believe, who re-
marked the other day that you never
drank." The officer modestly answered
that he was. "Then," continued the
General, "you are the man I have been
looking for to take charge of the com-
missary department, and I order that
you be detailed to that duty." He
served all through the war in that re-
sponsible department, and afterwards
when General Grant became President,
the officer who never drank was again in
request. The President needing a man
on whom he could rely for some im-
portant business, gave him the appoint-
ment. —Christian Leader.
Let Us GO Back.
It is'a shame that the nomenclature of
civilization should be worse than that of
the savages who have preceded us. The
Chippewas named more than one of our
lovely lakes set in wild scenery, the
"Lake of the Spirits," or " Spirit Lake."
The devil -worshipping white man gave'
the honor to his master, and called each
of those liquid jewels, "Devil's Lake."
Let us go back to the reverend spirit of
the aborigines.
Rainy.
Many amusing stories are told of the
sayings and doings of the astonished
backwoodsmen when the first lines of
railroad began operations in America.
When the first Maine railroad was built
the conductor, Mr. Pitman, left Water-
ville on the morning train,5 It was rain-
ing hard.
When he arrived at North Belgrade,
a flag station, not seeing any flag, he
ran by the station. As the train passed
the red flag was hurriedly run out.
Mr. Pitman stopped his train, and,
backing up to the station, called out to
the agent:
"Why didn't you put up the flag
sooner ? •
"Why," was the reply, "be you a
goin' to run trains in rainy weather ?"
"Of course."
"1 didn't reckon so."
A Boy of Little Faith.
A good story at the expense of "natur-
al "bone setters is related by the
"Whitehall Review." RI occurred in
the North of Scotland, where a certain
self-taught practitioner had acquired
wealth and local fame. A country lad
residing a few miles off had got his leg
hurt at one of the local factories, and
had been treated for some time by the
local medical men without any good re-
sult. His mother, who had great faith
in the neighboring bone -setter wanted
the lad to go to him, which he declined,
preferring, as he said, the reg'lar fac-
ulty." Eventually, however, his mother's
persuasions prevailed, and he agreed to
allow himself to be taken to see Daniel
R., the bone -setter. A bed for the in-
valid was extemporized on a cart, and,
accompanied by his anxious mother, he
was, after a rather painful journey, ta-
ken to the town where the bone -setter
resided. The leg was duly examined,
and it was found necessary to haul it
very severely, in order, as the bone -
setter said, "to get the bone in." The
lad was liberal with his screams while
this was going on, but eventually the
bone was got in," and he was told to
go home and in a few days he would be
all right and fit for kis work. He was
lifted up on the cart again, and, with
his mother seated beside him, set off for
home. " Didn't Danny do the thing
well ?" said theijoyous old lady. "Yes,
he did, mother," said the lad, "but I
was na sic a fool as to gie hini the sair
leg !" The " reg'lar faculty" will, we
have no ''-doubt, appreciate the story.

AS CONSCIENTIOUS
DRUGGISTS,
—WE WOULD—
recommend for DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION and
kindred diseases, the use of MALTOPEPSYN.
For Consumption and all wasting diseases, the
use of MORSE'S CARBOLATED NORWEGIAN
COD LIVER OIL. For teething infants and
nervous troubles, the use of GLYCEROLE OF
CELERY COMPOUND (containing no opium.)
You probably ask why we recommend these
remedies !
It is because we know them to be reliable
remedies, endorsed by leading physicians
throughont the Dominion, for the cure of specific
diseases, and not claiming to cure everything.
Also beeausethey have the exact formula printed
on eech bottle la.beLthereby enabling the pur-
chaser to know just what he is taking.
The time is rapidly approaching when intelli-
gent people will refuse to take quack cure-alls,
the ingredients of which are kept secret, but will
insist upoti knowing just what they are taking.
We would also inform any who may not yet be
aware by actual `trial of the superiority of our
" ROYAL GLYCERATED BALSAM OF FIR,"
in curing Coughs,Colds, Bronchitis, Sore Throat'
Incipient Constimption &c. &e., that this reli-
able remedy can now be proeured from every
dealer in the County of Huron, and although not
advertised outside our own Connty, entirely
owing to its own merits, we have already recehi-
ed orders from the most distant parte of the Do-
minion, if afflicted give it a trial, price 50 cents

But I can smell the roses—
They're coming into bloom.
Stoop down and pluck a rosebud—
You know my favorite tree;
My husband's hand will give me
The last one I shall -see,
Ah, Joe, do you remember
The dear old happy days—
Our love among the roses
In summer's golden blaze?
I take the rose you give me,
Its petals darep with dew;
I scent its fragrant odor,
But scarce can see its hue,
In memory of to -night, Joe,
When dead rii keep it gill ;
The rose may fade and wither,
Our love, dear, never will.
Quick 1 quick! my footsteps falter
Oh, take me in again,
I -cannot bear the air, Joe,
-My poor eyes feel the strain.
Home, home, and bring my ehildre
And place them at my knee,
And let ille look at them
While yet rye time to see.
Then take them gently from me -
And let us be alone;
My last fond look, dear husband,
Must hefor you alone.
You've been my dear old sweetheae
Since we were lass and lad ;
I've laughed when you were merry
And wept when you were sad.
I want to see you wearing
Your old sweet smile to -night
I want to take it with inc
To make my darkness light -
God bless you, Joe, for trying—
Yes, that's the dear old look !
rn think of that sweet story
When God has closed the book,
Joe, fetch me down the picture
That hangs beside our bed,
Ah, love, do you remember
That day that he lay dead?
Our first born bonny baby 1
And how we sat and cried
And thought our hearts were lereic
When our sweet darling died!
I'd like to see the picture
Once more, dear, while 1 may,
Though in ley -heart it lingers
As though 'twere yesterday.
Ah! many bairns came after,
But none were like to him,
Come -closer to me, darling,
The light is growing dim.
Come closer—so—and hold me
And press your face to mine;
I'm in a land of shadows,
Where ne'er a light can shine,
But with your arm around me,
What danger need 1 feat?
Pli never need my eyes, Joe,
While your strong arm is near.
*
Now, be a brave old darling
And promise not to fret;
I saw your face the last, dear,
And now I've no regret.
84,7 your face the last, dear—
God's hand has dealt the blow,
My sight went out at sunset
A short half hour ago.
Now, you must he my eyesight,
Through all the sunless land,
And down life's hill we'll wander,
Like lovers, hand in band.
Till God than lift the enrtain
Beyond these realms of pain;
And there, where blind -eyes open.
/II see your face again.
