And then he spoke—‘ Oh, be my bride, L ask you once again ;

Our Neighbors in the Moon.
A great change is taking place in our views in regard to the moon, and it may be that we are on the eve of dis coveries Which will make the century an epoch in astronomical — history. Some American observers saw not long since a crater on the lunar sarface in active operation under conditions as; refiable as a human vision at such a distance can be expected to reach. A French astronomer has made observa- tions on a granderscale, and centident- ly asserts that the moon is inhabited ! M. Camille Flammarion, the present originator of this loag cherished idea, isya scienis. of honor and renown, well known tor his reputation as an observer and enthusiastic writer. He has. written several articles to prove his.position, and has determined to de- vote his life to this branch of astronom- ical research. No instruments on the glébe are powerful enough to afford a glimpse ot ourlunarian neighbors. M. Flammarion is not in the least discour- aged’ at this apparently insuperable obstacle in the way of a solution of his problem. He is go.ng to have one made that will exhibit the men in the moon to terrestial eyes without a pos- silfflity of mistake. He is urgently soliciting contributions toa fund for an immense refractiog telescope, whose estimated cost is a million franes, or $200.000. This instrument, the astion- omér believes, will be effectual in re- vacling the inhabitants in the moon, really existing according to his san- guine faith. Some of the largest re- fractors in the world, if used when the | air is pure, bear a powerof 3,000 on the moon—that is, the moon appears as if it were at a distance of eighty miles instead of 240,000. It can thus be seen that an immensely increased power would be required to detect small ob- jects on the surface. We trust M. Flam- marion will be successful in collecting funds for his monster telescope, and that he will pick up crowds of lunar- ians through its fur seeing eye before thé vision of the present generation be- comes too dim to behold the long-wish- ed-for sight.—Providence Journal.

Tue German * Gaa Law.’’— The Parliamentary Discipline Bill—or, as it i more pointedly ¢haracterized, the “ gag law ”’—which Bismarck prepared forthe restraint of debate in the Reich- stag, has been rejected by that body by a decisive vote. This result was anticiZ pated by most observers when the measure was first proposed, and it has grown more and more probable as the debate progressed. [t does not appear that Bismarck himself anticipated aoy different result, or that he experienced any disappointment when the division in the Reichstag showed the Govern- ment to be in so small a majority. Bis mirek’s actual design in this matter has caused not a little speculation. It is not believed that he at any time expec- ted that the Reichstag would consent to bind itself hand and toot by a law destructive at once of the freedom and dignity of debate. There are those

The Greatest Medical Discovery sinee the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of tho Christian Era.
There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has deen eaused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use ef ordinary plasters.
Dr. MELVIN’S Capsicum Ponecs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than & hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasiers are slow of action. and reguire to be worn continually te effect acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant oue is applied the patieut will feel its effect.
Physicians in all ages have thoronghly tested. and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as @ medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages ina porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MreLvrin’s CAPSICUM Porous PLasters, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for sach diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and hack, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orlisiment. After you have tried other plas¢ ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain eure, ask your druggist for Dr. MEtyviy’s CApstcuM Porous PLASTER, You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and qtick in its action, you can rely on its safety foi the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and hee poisonous material commonly used in the manutacture ef ordin- arv plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will ei hundreds to your friends.
Ask your druggist for DR. MELvin’s CAPSI- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one. $1 for five, or $2 fora en, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,

who have thought that the proposal and advocacy of the bill have been sevious only in so far as he desired an excuse for the dissolution of Parliament, and counted on finding it iv their rejee- tion of the bill, which he foresaw. If this was actualy his policy, we shall not fiave long to wait for its further development, Thus far the course of the German Government has been ad- mirubly adupte! to strengthen the evils of Socialism against which it is directed. Quite a number of trouble- some Characiers have been disposed of, but the innocent have suffered with the
tilty, aud discontent has been 1 :tered ie the process.

CATARRE.
Constitutional Catarrh CURES CATARRHE.
Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.
Remedy
T. J. B. Hanprxe, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:— Dear Sir—lIt is now two years since your ‘“Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to true.” I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Cireular I saw my case described in many par- ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I seeured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head. ° A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truly,
W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister. Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878.
