Ou thecvening of the 9th inst. when the te- sult of the contest was made known, a motley crowd of tax-gatiierers, appraisers, supervisers, jobbing superintendents, and a curious fry of small potato bugs of less noteriety might be geen closely huddled together in a little out-of- the-way nook adjoining the Crapaud news office. The darkness partly hid them from view, but a gentleman passing overheard the following wail. Thinking publication might have a soothing effect on their lacerated feel- ings, I take the liberty of sending it to you for insertion :—

Ye faithful Grits who've gathered near Impatient all good news to hear, You came in trembling and fear, And it is well For, O, the news, my comrades dear, I grieve to tell.

Ye who have roamed the country through

And strove most nobly to rescue

The luckless Davies shipwrecked crew From their sad fate,

By spreading falsehoods old and new Marly and late ;

And ye zealous little band --

Who have in secret slyly fanned

The all devouring quenchless brand Of bigotry —

Vain were the schemes so fondly planned All's gang a glee

Sid is the end of this campaign,

Our youthful chief’s ignobly slain,

He rashly dared his foes to air. At George and Neil ;

He’s fallen pe’er to rise again, Pierced by their steel.

Poor W. D. whom once we found Corrupt, dishonest, and ‘‘unsound,” He too lies bleeding on the ground Without a tear ; Yet O he gave us many a pound The last two year.

Our western friend of doubtful fame,

O’Callaghan —that vulgar name,

He strove to fan with might and main The fire of bigotry ;

But ah ! he perished in the tlame *Longside of Lea

The writhings of the noble pair

The ‘‘N. K’s.” lock of blank despair

The wild, the wierd, the savage stare Of J. Calhoun,

As shouts of triumph rent the air, Won't be forgotten soon,

The bravest of our ranks have fell,

E’en Speaker Beer, I grieve to tell,

And he who tells us there’s no hell, Oh ! sweet delusion !

If Grits be spare: all all is well From dire confusion.

This may alloy our present fear

And God may spare us many a year,

Bat while this thought poor Grits will cheer, A voice within

Cries punishment just and severe Is due to sin.

If backward we dare cast our eyes, What spectres would before us-rise ? Corruption, bigotry, and lies — A hideows sight While justice for our bodies cries Both day and night.

Ah! what a change! two years ago With one well aimed decisive blow Our enemies we did o’erthrow.

Oh ! glorious day ! Vaunted o’er our vanquished foe

In proud array.

Ona the advent to power of Loo The canons boomed and trumpets blew, High in the air our caps we threw. With deafening cheer. Oh ! vain display, now I and you Weep o'er his bier. —

Flushed with success, he in his pride,

’ The people’s voice and will defied

On some he smiled, he more proscribed. Impudent act,

Prescription he should ne’er have tried However backed.

Twelve months had scarcely sped

When honest men from Davies fled

Corruption showed its hydra head In every place.

Sc ruled the men whom Louis led Steeped in disgrace,

The Press rang out a warning note

Poor Davies begged and Lawson wrote,

But at them come Willie’s crushing vote And in an hour

The Inckles: crew were all afloat, Stripped of their power.

We saw their tearful upturned eyes, And heard the their piteous drowing cries But all the schemes we could devise Naught did avail. Now we may kuow their sad demise And loss bewail—

We spared no time or means to save The Steward from a watery grave ; We plaved the bigot, fool, and knave. his we'd conceal ; And scornful words and jeers did brave With noble zeal—

Then hither Dan why silent brood,

You who have in the front ranks stood

With uncouth mien and language rude E’er met the foe.

The cause and men who have eschewed Now’s fallen low —

Alas! poor James is on the track,

Poor Donald to and William Mae.

Be careful Nat, Will’s on your track. He can’t be bought ;

He'll lay the stripes upon our back If we are caught.

Hark, listen to that shout you hear, The sourid falls heavily on the ear, My fellow sinners, 0, I fear

Our end is nigh ; Potatoe Bugs away, 0 dear.

Hear the cry.

Our deeds, also, can't be effaced, Too visibly our Ways are traced, Our Party’s free from power, disg:aced A thieving den ; The pirate crew is now replaced By honest men. -

Farewell to power and public plunder, ‘Twice we've been beaten, and no wonder, The Grit’s are cne contienal blunder, And so they’ve died ; Our doom ’s announced in voice of thunder, "Pon every side.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or sinee the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused 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 Porous 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 a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action. and — to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physieiansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CApsICUM Porous PLAsTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such eases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

yr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee ef its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

k your dru for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSI- cum Porovs PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,

CATARREU. Constitutional Remedy

Catarra CURES CATARRE.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional J2en.edy.

T. J. b. Harpinc, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—

Drar Sirn—Itis now two years since your “Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. Ihave 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 be true.” : I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular [ saw my case described in many par ticunlars. ‘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 secured 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.
