We bave on exhibition, at cur Rooms, a large, number of Photograpse of every variety, including the
BEAUTIFUL PHOTO- ENAMEL
he most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a sofiness aud delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popu arelscewhere, and cannot fail to be- ecme so here.
Though the finish of our Photographs canvot be excelled, we wou!d direct atter- tion to the beautitul
Glaece Pictures
which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, aud are practically iudes- tructible, snd wil retain their freshness and besxuty for any length of time. {f they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet. ‘This vaiuadle quality, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, wake them very suitable for presents; while the didiculiy of their production will prevent Lhem ever becoming 80 common as to lesseu their value. Our patrons cap have one or all of their Photos finished in thig style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere.

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 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 of ordinary plasters.
Dr. MELVIN’S CarsicuM 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 to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one 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 used as a medica] 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, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLAsene Sos their saga eo
ll other plasters, they now actually prescr oo in ‘heir practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases 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
yn. 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 pe 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 of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds

Wycliffe.
de i : 40 the itditor of the Examiner :
Srr,—Perhaps the following may be of inter- est to some of your readers. its purpose is to supply a few facts omitted in the account of the lecture that appeared in your Dauy ; and, { hope,it will assist your readers in forming an impartial opinion of Wycliffe’s character, and also show that we owe a little to monasticism. To readers of history, it is searcely necessary to recall to notice the many high encomiums paid to monasticism and its work by Histo- rians. Every impartial man knows it must not be judged by its condition at the time of the Reformation—far less by the character that in- terested adversaries have attributed to it. Monasticism of the fifteenth century, was cs much unlike its original form, as modern Christianity falls short of the high exemplar of the Apostles’ days.
Macaulay asserts (History England vol. I. )that without these influences, the population would have been made up of ‘* beasts of burden and beasts of prey.” ‘he services rendered by it to eivilization, in the transition of society from ancient times to the Middle Ages, have been most important. Monks were the skiled agri- \ They were the phy- sicians of the time. In their gardens were grown the pharmaceritical herbs. As men of letters and energetic missionaries, they kept the lamp of knewledge and civilization from expiring in the very Sie period, and what-
ever wss done in the way of educating the vaoung, was carried on within the monastery walls.
The example of Gregory forming an ecclesiasti. cal library was copied elsewhere. They were the great collectors and transcribers of books, in fact anything at all that has come down to us from classical antiquity is owing to their dihgence as transcribers. Says Hallam, ‘It was their pride to collect, and their business to transcribe books,” and says Macaulay, their collections were the ‘‘Gems from whence a second and more glorious civilization” should } in due time spring. Carlyle also speaks to the same effect in his ‘‘ Past and Present,” and to produce numerous others, writing in the same strain, would be superfluous.
That there was no little evil mixed up with it, is true. Such I| think we find the case in every organization.
The name of Jerome, Athanasius and Chry- sostom, of the early Chugch, waken a feelin of thankfulness in scholars. The Monk ‘Tele- machus, marched, lazily perhaps, from his Nitrian cell, journing to Rome, and at the giladiatorial shows of the circus, (A.D. 404) declared God’s detestation of the cruelties there practised. Pressing through the crowd at the Coliseum, he threw himselt between the gladiators matched for the death struggle. the people beat him down with stones and clubs, and the gladiators dispatched him. But it was the last human blood that was shed in the Coliseum. Men realized the hideous character of the exhibition, and an edict of the reigning Emperor proscribed ail gladiatorial exhibitions for the future.
Honor to whom honor is due.§
It is scarcely necessary to note the name of many, who are held in high estimation for their labours and read with avidity by the eager and searching student, but I cannot pass on without mentioning the following: Bede, Caedmon, Wilfred, Alcum, Roger Bacon, Bernard of Clairvaux, and Abelard.
Now, a tew words for the debauchee, 8. Francis. He did not live a debauched life. in his early years he was remarkable for his gaiety and his love of ostentatious display, (like many professing Christians of this day), but with this difference, for even then Ais hounty to the poor was one of the largest sources of his wastetulness. ‘* Of all the saints,” says Dean Milman, “‘S. Francis was the most blameless and gentle.” S. Dominic himself 3oon became attached to S. Francis, and often visited him and encouraged him in his work. They were indeed rivals, but rivals somewhat dttferent from the parallel drawn. These men attended the same church, preached in the same pulpits, and did not withhold their help- ing hands from the same parishes. In this we learn a lesson worth learning.
It is well known, too, that 8. Francis holds a place im the hearts of the scholars of his country. His letters, sermons, proverbs, bymus. ete., are among the earliest metrical specimens of the Italian language. His prose is often more poetical than his poetry itself. Few writers, 1t is said, have ever turned the love and admiration of external nature to @ purpose so beautifully devotional.
No doubt, in Wycliffe’s time, the corruptions then existing called loudly for reform, and naturally excited the indignation of the man, who was unquestionably honest and sincere. He himself may have possessed the learning, honesty and zeal of the Reformers, but the movement he inaugurated soon presented the worst and wildest of excesses—some thinking it produced even greater evils than those it designed to remedy. the articles of which your account takes no no- tice. Article4says: ‘“i hata bishopor priest,if he be in mortal sin, does not baptize, consecrate, nor ordain.” This was contradicted in more recent times by the Twenty-sixth Article of Religion. Articles 8, 10, 11 and 12, partake oi the same mistake as the fourth, and are sub- versive of all church discipline. Article 14 (** That it is contrary to Holy Scripture that ecclesiastical men should have temporal pos- sessions’) is against all church eadowments, and seems inconsisteut with the conduct of Wycliffe himself, who held the mastership of Baliol College, Oxford, the Rectory of Sutten- worth, and was also employed by Richard II. as a foreign ambassador. Articles 17 and 18 are not only fatal to ecclesiastical discipline, but also to civil government, rendering, as they do, the subject a judge whether any authority

he condescended to explain his statements, and so deprive some of them of their mischievous | character, as to retire to the emoluments of his church Living to the last. ‘That Wycliffe was a great man, no cne will question; and few will sympathise with the treatment he received. | His work of translating the bible was a noble ; one; but it has been remarked that the Jan- | guage of Wycliffe shows little advance, if any, beyond the point which had been reached in |the early part of that century. Yet his Bible | does indeed possess high philological value, #® standing all but first among the prose writings in our old tongue.

The Business of Chicago.
A Chicago despatch of the 11th says: All organized effort seems to have been made of late to spread abroad distressing rumors of financial embarassment im this city. So wild and reckless have the newsmongers become, that to-day reports were current on the street that twoor three of the stanchest jobbi houses in Chicago had suspended, or wo suspend, and that one of the heaviest of the New York firms was onthe verge of bank- ruptcy. The rumors were followed up, and not one authentic fact was discovered. ‘ These efforts to break down credit are, doubtless, put forth by financial wreckers, who hope thus to bear prices of real estate and produce and provisions, and to make a handsome specula- tion out of the results of their crime. Publie sentiment is becoming aroused on the subject, and summary punishment will be meeted out to the mongers of false reports, should they be discovered, without the intervention of’ the law. The Directors of the Board of Trade are making efforts to ferret out the originators of the commercial scandals, intending to expel them from membership when found.
——__—_-1._ 44 - The Moncton Horrcr. THE Moncton Times furnishes the following summary of the girl Parker’s evidence :—
‘*Tiumothy McCarthy went into the bar room of the Osborne House about midnight of Oct. 12. She went down stairs sooh after and found all of the Oosborne family then in She- diac (except the father) in the bar-room with McCarthy, That she saw Mrs, Osborne put a white powder in a glass of pale brandy she was preparing for MeCarthy, and that after he drank it he grew stupid and seemed to call fer hus wife aud child ; that while in this condition he was robbed of his money by the Osbornes, and soon after struck in the head with‘a hat- chet by Harry Osborne, acting by his mother’s orders, until he was dead. Two blows beim necessary to produce death; that when d
€ | he was stripped of his coat, and a cord put
around his neck. and a heavy stone bronght ia and attached to the othe: end end of the eord s that the body was then carried out to the wagon, (which had heen got ready,meantime,) the mother and daughter having hold of the shoulders, the son ot the legs: that the Par- ker girl was asked to assist in carrying the body out and she pleaded! she was too weak to help, but that when the body was shoved into the wagon head iirst, she lifted the seatof the wagon for Harry; that Harry wanted his sister or Parker to go with him and get rid uf the body, bus both refused ; that Harry on his return informed her that he had put the body in the Scadouc river, about a mile above the Scovil mull bridge, and had to go a distance through a potato field to get to the water; that while McUarthy was lying on the floor Mrs. Osborne mixed a drink for the Parker girl, who, however, saw her putting the white powder in it and drank only some of it; that Harry made her swear on the Bible never to tell what had happened ; that by Mra. Usborne’s orders she wiped and scraped up the blood on the bar-room tieoa ; that they otiered her half of MeCarthy’s money, which she re- fused, etc., etc. There is much more of the same purport, but it would seem proper (ip view ot sue difference from her former state- ments) that full details of her present a. ment should be first given to the public under the sanction of an oath.
Aw Eprror’s Carp.—-A Western newspaper has the following notice :—All notices of mar riage where no bridecake is sent will be set up in small type and poked in an outlandish cor- ner of the paper. Where a handsome pieve of cake is sent, the notice will be put conspica- ously im large letters; when glores or other bride favors are added, a piece of illustrative poetry will be given in addition. When, how- ever, the editor attends the ceremony in per- son and kisses the bride, it will have special notice—very large type and the most appro- priate poetry that can be begged, borrowed or stolen.
The Duke of Luxembourg.—This General resembled the renowned Conde, whose pupil he was. He beat William Prince of Orange in several battles, which caused William to ex- press himse'f with great indignation. ‘‘Is it impossible for me,” said he ** to beat that little hunch-back Luxembourg?” | ‘‘How shall he know whether I am so or not?’ said the Duke ‘‘for, often as I. have seen his back, he never saw mine.”
In the City of New York last year 26,203 reons died. Of these to every 1,000 natives ot the United States there were 29.69 deaths; to every 1,000 Irish 22.24; to every 1,000 Germans 15.18; to every 1,000 English 18.51; to every 1,000 Scotch 24.49; and to every 1,000 colored people 29.30.
Mr. Samuel Cooke and his wife Silvia, of Lunenburg, Mass., who haye lived together more than 50 years, died of pneumonia within an hour of each ether on Thursday evening of last week.
Four men were burned to death in Bruns: wick County, N. C.,on the 12th, by the shanty in which they were sleeping falling and after- wards taking fire.
