coher idieslaneadmliautdeacskiciesie The Tide of Emigration

Once more the steerage accommce- dation of the ocean steamships is crowded with passengers seeking homes in the new world. It is six years since the tide of emigration flowed so strongly as it has done this spring. The returns from the Mersey shows that during April sixty-five vessels bound for North America carried 10,917 passengers of whom 5,348 were English, 58 Scotch, 1,546 Irish 3,809 foreigners, and 156 whose nationalities were not known. Their destinations were 8,931 to the United States, 1,723 to Canada, 48 to Australia, 129 to South America, 39 the East Indies, 12 to the West Indies, 9 to China, and 44 to the west coast of Africa, A compar- sion shows that the figures of last month were 6,015 over those of the previous month—March—and 4,090 over April, 1878.

A Splendid Opportunity.

The New York Times publishes a dreadful article -concerning the sea coast defences of the United states. It points out that there are no guns of uny calibre to resist the guns of ships ; that the forts could not resist the boms bardments of foreign guns; that the garrisons are not well supplied; and that, in fine, all the seaboard cities are exposed to easy destraction by the en- terprising enemy! And yet these peo- ple, in their mad confidence, presume to tax our lobster cans! Shall we longer tolerate it~—while we have the Northern Light and the Glendon and the great experience of that famous naval commander, Sir Albert Smith, to carry us to victory and release our cans from bondage? We might let loose the dogs of war—with lobster cans tied to their terrific tails, in every seacoast city of the United States, and free our cans or perish—at least Sir Albert could if he pleased (dulce et decorum est pro patria mori) die—in the attempt. Here is a nation at our mercy. Shall we be merciful—-or not? But at least we have a magnificent chance.— Toronto Mail.

Beecher in the Pulpit.

Mr. Beecher in the pulpit is a per- son not easily forgotten. He is, natur- ally, more at home in his own domain than on the platform or on the staff of his regiment. In the pulpit we expect to see him and hear him at his best. We wait upon his best thoughts array- ed in his choicest language. His burly figure sugge -ts power; his silvery locks arouse your sympathy ; his face, glow-

ing with the cloquence of a mighty}

brain, becomes electrified by the con- sciousness of its own power; and as his lips give shape to his choicest words his hearers become charmed with the magic of his voice. He is, in short, when under the inspiration of thought, sublime. His voice is strong but even, and his softest utterances are heard a, distinctly as his deeper tones. Beecher is neither a loud nor noisy preacher in the sense of harshness, and his manner does not strike the hearer as being studied for artificial effect. Though Mr. Beecher's voice is fine, his figure effective, and his delivery highly dra- matic, his greatest charm lies after all in what he says rather than in the manner of his stying it. He enunci- ates well and is a careful speaker, and not a word shall be lost if he can help it. Ashe warms with his subject his eyes flash under the spell of their spiritual light. Mr. Beecher is not handsome in the conventional sense, though were he a8 homely as Caliban there would be no lack of admirers, who, losing sight of his uncomeline ss, would only recognize the beauty sicJ by the light of the soul within.

QUININE CORDIAL

which is a combination of Pure Quinine, with Lime Fruit Juice, cordialised by the addition of Aromatics, but

ENTIRELY FREE FROM ALCOHOL.

Upon the medicinal virtues of Lime Juice and Quinine it is unnecessary to dilate. The combination of two agents of such universally acknowledged value, in at ence a palatable and innocuous form, has been a disideratum long sought, but only nowsuccessfully accomplished; for although the 7’onic qualities of Quinine have been popularised in the form of QUININE WINES, it is well known these combinations have been attended with serious evils conse- quent upon the*Alcoholic Stimulants they all contain, at once prejudicial to health and de- moralising in their tendency.

Aromatic Montserrat Quinine Cordial is guar- anteed to contain one grain of Quinine in each wineglassful, and to be entirely free from al- cohol, being prepared solely from the Mont- serrat Lime Fruit Juice combined with Aro- matics.

| CATARRE. Remedy

Constitutional Catarrs CURES CATARRIEL

Hear what a Reverend Gentlémam says of ‘the Constitutional Remedy.

T. J. B. Harprxe, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—

Dear Srr—It is now two years since your ‘“Censtitutional Catarrh Kemedy’ was intro- duced tome. 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 true.” ; I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticnlars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, { would feel like pecthents 29 be compelled to sit up in 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, aud 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 Certilicate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister. Port Kigin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878.

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 ontward 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 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 require to be worn continually te effect a cure 3 ut with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant oue is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less asa medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- — in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELvin’s Capsicum PoROUS PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribs them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and baek, and 2.il such cases as have required the use of plasters erliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVrIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictionsof | its wonderful effects. Although powerful and it in its action, you can rely on its safety

or the most delicate ae 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 ntee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIx’s CAPs!I- 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,
