If ever I a helpmate choose, She mast be this, to mect my views ;

A maiden young with sparkling eyes As blue as are Italian skies,

With silken hair as smooth as wax

And of the lightest shade of flax ; Month medium-sized and set with teeth Like pearls the coral! lips beneath ;

Nose small, and just a little pag,

And shoulders str ingers toa shrug ; A figure tall—for me no mite— But with no angles to the sight; A mind that’s practial yet tree | To some of lifes young-poetry ; & e A hand not made alone for show, More f yy pea -LCYS than aougn,

Bat apt in making bread, at need,

Or wielding housewife’s broom, indeed ; A voice attuned to homelike song ;

A temper grreet as day is long ;

No woman’s-rights dumestic ways,

Nor flaunting iu the public gaze.

But calm contentment with her lot— Such wife would suit me te a dot.

Would she as well approve me, though?

Would she accept me for her beau ?

I’m half inclined to own up, quite,

That thinking so implies I’m tight. —_——Me. a=—--

Montreal's Philanthropist.

‘JOE BEEF’’ MAKES HIS DEBUT AS A ORA- TOR AND POET—HE DENOUNCES THE “WITNESS” AND VINDICATES HIM- SELF BEFORE THE WORLD.

‘Joe Becf’ is one of the peculiarities of Montreal. In his own way he is 4 benefactor to his kind, and does an incalculable amount of good to those over whom the public charities exercise no control, Weil, ‘Joe Beef,’ otherwise known as Mr. Charles McKiernan, had considered himself slandered before the world by an article which appeared re- cently in the Montreal Witness; but instead cf instituting a libel suit, as is the usual custom now-a-days, he adopt- ed an original idea—that of vindicating his character on the public ‘Forum’ from the aspersions cast uponit by our contemporary. To this end, he an- nounced a ‘speech’ to be delivered in Chaboilez Square, and accordingly a large and motley crowd assembled before the Eagle Hotel last night and awaited patiently the coming of the orator. As usual,on such occasions,the latter did not make his appcarance on time, but the crowd amused itself as best it could in listening to the strains of various airs discoursed by a band, and during the intervals in giving various conjeciures as to how the com- ing orator would acquit himself on the occasion. Atlast, ‘Joe Beet’ made his appearance on the balcony snd was greeted with a series of rousing cbeers such as would have gratified the heart of either Alexander McKenzie, or Sir John A. Macdonald. He commenced by alluding to a previous occasion on which espoused the cause of ‘the poor navvy.

A Voice—‘ Put on your hat.’

Joe Beef—‘ It’s only in this conntry that I’ve got a hat. Ln Ireland, where I came from, I didn’t have a hat ora boot.’ He alluded to the fact that when the poor were turned from the Refuges he took them in and fed them. He gave several instances in which this had occurred. }

[At this point, the ‘lecturer’? dodged as an egy came flying over his shoulder, and scattered on the wail behind. Several more followed, one passing in unpleasant proximity to our reporter, who deemed it prudent to withdraw, as also did the representative of the Star. ]

The ‘ lecturer,’ however, bravely con- tinued, making some strange allusions to D. I. K. Rine, Henry Ward Beecher and Sir Sidney Smith. This concluded ‘Chapter No. 1,’ and the speaker retir- ed within tie tavern, presumably to get a glass of water, whilst his place was taken by the band, who played an énlivening air during the intermission.

On the orator’s return, he was hailed with demonstrative cheers, in response to which he thanked his hearers most kindly for the reception with which they had honored him. He assured them that

‘* Whether I rise or fall,

Vl stand by the poor of Montreal.” (Cheers.) He spoke of the wood famine of 1874, when people were perished for the want of a stick of wood, which sold at $17 a cord. He had helped the poor then. The Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia had « ‘grand feed,’ whilst the poor were freezing. Poor Sandfield was living then. Yes

‘** Sandfield was drinking,

Brydges winking, Allen about his ships thin‘ting,

And Cartier blinking ;

But there would Be wood, As well as food, When they would be slinking.” Joe Beef.

(Great laughter and cheers.) He al- luded to the case in which a poor man went into the Witness office and asked

ae me Sw - eomombeee ne

| teat laughter, although the jokes were

not of the most refined character. He retired from the gallery amid the cheers

. : eledat of the crowd, who were evidently well well pleased with the free and laugh- able treat afforded them,

This anecdote of President Lincoln was recently told by Bishop Simpson ul- though it may have been ia print long ago : *1 was informed one day thata com- mittee fram New York, composed of lead- ing citizens, went to sce him in reference to the conduct of the war. After they had transacted their general bustuess, and the committee were making their way to the door,—he was standing in the other part of the re m,——one of the gentlemen. who presumed, ou his acquaictance with Mr. Lincoln, to ask particularly searching questions, stepped up to him, and io low- est tone of voice said: ‘ Mr. President, I

is going.’ Burnside had just sailed with his fleet, but the destination was unknown. ‘Well, said Mr, Lincoln, in a very low tove of voice, ‘ would you very mach like to know?’ ‘Yes,’ he said -he would. ‘Well, now,’ said Mr. Lincoln, ‘if I tell you, perhops you would tell some one else.” ‘No,’ said he, ‘ I will not.” Then Mv. Lincoln, puitiog up his hand to his face, and, as it to whisper, said loud enough for all to hear: ‘ He’s gone to sea.’ ’

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

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has Deen 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 of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’s CarvsicuM Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all whe have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster tirey ever befere tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasiers are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect aeure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant oue is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested anit 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 dite that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered, Being, however, convinced of the wonderful enures effected by Dr. MELvin’s CApsicUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually preseribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliaiment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain eure. ask your druggist for

In. MELVIN’S CAPsicumM Porous PLASTER, You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety foi the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manutacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is @ sutticient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will ¢*Ui hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MrELvrx’s CAPst- cuM Porous 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.

CAT ARRIE. Gonstitvtional Catarrh hemeny CURES CATARER. Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.cly. T. J. B. Hanpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

Dran Sirn—It is nuw two years since your “Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. Lhave waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent betore do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects secmed to me to be **teo good to be true.”’

I was afflicted in my head for years before ] suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading im your. Circular 1 saw my case described in many par ticnlare. The inward “drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, L would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertownin August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle 1 found decided re- lief, and when J 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 discase, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truiy,

W. FTINDALL, Methodist Minister.
