pene = The Golden Side.

There is many a rest on the road of life, If we would only stop te take it; Aud many « tone from the better land, If the querulons heart would wake it. To the sunny soul that is full of hope, And whose beautiful trust ne’er faileth, The grass is green and the flowers are bright, Though the wintry storm prevaileth.

Better hope, though the clouds hang low, And to keep the eyes still hfted; , For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through, When the ominous clouds are lifted, Theré was never a night without a day, Nor an evening without 4 morning; And the darkest hour, the proverb goes, Is the heur before the dawning.

There is many a gem in the path of life, Which we pass in our idle pleasure,

That is richer far than the jeweled crown | Or the miser’s hoarded treasure ;

It may be the love of a little child, Or a mother’s prayer to heaven,

Or only a beggar’s grateful thanks For a cup of water given.

Better to weave in the web of life A bright and golden filling, And to do God’s will with a ready heart And hands that are swift and willing, Than to snap the delicate silver threads Of our curious lives asunder; And then heaven blame for the tangled ends And sit to grieve and wonder.

Which is Larger, the United States or Canada.

A city correspondent of the St. John Telegraph writes:

Will you kindly inform me, through the columns of your journal, to settle a dispute, which, the Dominion of Cana- da or the United States, contain the greates: area in square miles ?

The Teleyraph replies :—The area of the United States and territories, in- cluding Alaska, according to the official reports of the Commissioner of the Geuernl Land office, is 3,603,884 square miles; exclusive of Alaska, the afea of the United States would be 3,235,649 square miles. The area of Canada, ac- cording to tho best official data, is 3,- 680,510 square miles; if Newfoundland were added it would reach 3,620,510 square niles. Therefore it will be seen that the area of the United States, in- cluding Alaska,is somewhat greater than the present area of the Dominioa; without Alaska itis much less. Bat by adding Newfoundland to the Dominion the area of the United States Terri- tories, including Alaska, would be ex- ceeded by Canada. There is more British soil on the contiaent of North America than there is of the United States torritory, even counting in Alaska.

An Apt Scholar.

A newly marricd man, who evident- ly needs discipline, thus discourses :— -A woman 1s a handy thing to have about the house. She docs not cost any more to keep than you'll give her, she'll take a greatinterest in you. If you go outat night, she'll be awake when you get at home, and she'll tell you all about yourself and more too. Of course, she will know where you’ve been, and what kept you out so late and will tell you; yet right after she gets through telling you that, sho will ask where you have been and what kept you so late. And after you tell her and she won't believe you, you mustn’t mind that ; and if, after going to bed, she says she hasn’t closed her eyes thé whole night, aod then keeps up the matinee two hours longer and won’t go to sleep when she has achance, you mustn’t mind that cither; its her nature.’

In one of eursleeping cars in Ameri- ca there was an old bachelor who was annoye! by the continued crying of a child, and the ineffectual attempts of the father to quietit. Pulling aside the curtain, and putting out his head, he said, ‘Where is the mother of that child? Why doesn’t she stop this nuisance ?” The father said very quietly, ‘‘The mother isin the baggage ear in her coffin; I am travelling home with the baby. This is the second night Ibave been with this child, and the little ereature is worrying for its mo- ther. Lam sorry if its plaintive cries disturb any one in this car." ‘ Waita minute,’ said the old bachelor. The old man got up and dressed himself, and compelled the father to lie down and sleep, while he took the baby him- self. That old bachelor stilling the ery” of the baby that night was a hero, And the man who, for the sake of others, gives up a lawful gratification in his own house or in social circh,is as great a hero as though he stood on the battle- field.— J. B. Gough.

“VALEDICTORY.

To the Mercantile Fraternity of Souris.

GENTLEMEN :—

fiaving now arrived at a point beyond the reach of human effort to impede my progress toward Manitoba, I hasten to offer you a word of farewell. It, might, perhaps, have been in better taste, ‘had I extended this courtesy before leaving the thriving vil- lage of Souris ; but when you consider the the circumstances attending my departure— the hurry and bustle always incident upor such a hasty coup d'etat, you will, Lam sure, kindly overloek what ordinarily might ap- pear “to be a breach of decorum. Believe ‘me, gentlemen, I have a strong attachment for my native village, no less on account of the kind, coijfiding people who constitute its aristocracy, than on account of its being the scene of my keenest joys and pleasantest associations ; and it pains me much to think that I should be obliged to quit, so unceére- moniously, a heme I loved so well, and a people I held so dear. I quite well under- stand the anxiety and grief with which you first heard of my: departure fora fereign land. Nor am | unmindful ef the care and solicitude with which you telegraphed divers messages of enquiry after my welfare, upon hearing the news. I can fully appreciate the trouble and hardship it cost you .in splashing and splurging about through the mudded streets of Seuris, devising ways and means of interviewing me once more ere I departed from Summerside ; and I shall ever remember with kindness the two Bailiffs Extraordinory whom you despatch- ed to see after my baggage. Of course, they arrived to late to be of any service to me, but the intention was apparent ; and it requires. a man possessed of a luss

grateful heart than mine to forget such disinterested kindness. I never before experienced such a paroxysm

of emotion as when I beheld these worthies on the wharf at Summerside, looking wist- fully toward me as our craft triumphantly steamed away for Point du Chene. I grew exceedingly lachrymose under the ordeal,

ish off my boots. I shall also cherish the memory of my chivalrous friend who mounted his steed as the shades ef evening were gathering thivk and fast and, amid the loud exclamations of an enthused throng, sped away with the celerity of a Saracen Chief toward the city of Charlottetown to embrace me for the last time. I assure you the remembrance of these events affects me deeply. My feelings are no longer un- der my control, and I fear I shail tire your patience ere I have done.

You remember, gentlemen, a few short years ago, and lwas but a mere lad; a poor, friendlezs urchin, unable-to procure a stick of caudy on my individuai credit, when a happy incideat suddenly changed the wheel of fortune in my favor. A rail- way extension happened to run through a plot of ground to which [ had fallen heir ; land damages were awarded me, and I was forthwith transformed into a man. For the first time in my life I began to realize what it was to be a gentleman; and I shall never forget the kind consideration [ re- ceived at your hands from that moment. Esteemed and respected by all, the wildest dreams of my youth were more than real- ized. Nocirele complete without me; no association inaccessible to me ; no banquet without my name appearing on the list of invited guests. I soon became a pet favor- itein your families, and your little ones vere often heard to lisp my name in. their nursery prattle. With a credit as unlimit- ed as my “honor,, my name _ was duly inscribed in every ledger in town. At your earnest and repeated solicitations, I dealt rather extensively with the most of you ; nor did I consider my meagre patron- age more than an adequate recompense for your generosity. I tell you, gentlemen, those were days of luxury and ease with me —days I can recall without a sense of re- gret. But, alas! ‘tin the midst of life we are in'debt /”’ The cruel Fates decreed that I should no longer bask in the sunshine of your benevolence; so I “scaled.” Now, I am off to seek my fortune in a foreign clime ; and as touching any earthly pros- perity wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me in this life—well, I have sold it, and pocketed the money. In whatever sphere of life my future lot may be cast— whether coursing northern forests wich the noble red man, in the hot pursuit of the fierce ,buffalo--or slumbering with the panting negro on the burning sands of the sunny South—believe me, gentlemen, the consciousness of possessing your contidence and esteem shall vastly lighten my labors, and enable me the more serenely to bear the heat and burthen of the day.

In conclusion, I have one request to make : Please keep my accounts open. I may, perchance, embark in mining opera tions, and be obliged to draw on you from time to time for funds.

Wishing you a merry Christmas anda happy New Year,

I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your humble and obdt. servt., JOHNNIE FRANK. Shediac, N. B., Dec. 6, 1879.

The Bible Society.

To the Friends ef the Bible Society.

Very -Dear Frienps,—Should -not ali| men clearly understand that we are friends to the Bible Society, and that all should feel our obligation to our Maker gnd to the Society, whether for the light that our Heavenly Father has given to our own land, or for that light which He has given to our own souls or for that blessing which He has conferred by the Society upon a dying world ?

For all and for each of those celestial graces, every minister, every Sabbath- school teacher, every Christian man,woman

and my gushing tears fairly washed the pol-{

i . | prayer will be, ‘‘God be merciful unto us,

‘and bless us, and cause thy face to shine

upon us, that thy way be knewn upon the earth, thy saving health among all nations.” They will remember that the Bible Society eccupies a high position in relation to the Church. It is like the tabernacle of old to Israel— a centre round which all the tribes pitched their tents, and hoped for light, life and _ love. They will say, “Because of the House of the Lord our God we will seek thy good. Peace be

within thy walls and prosperity within thy

palaces.” I am yours truly, in Christ, J. H. Dovetas. December, 1879.

Gonstitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRKE.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Remedy.

T. J. B. Harpixa, Esq., Brockville, Ont, :— Deak Sir—It is now two years since your ‘Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. Ihave waited this ong to see if the eure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the effects seemed to me to be “too good to true.” 1 was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my vase described in many par- ticulars. The inward “drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying 1 I would feel like smothering and be com to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your 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 clear 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 yyou this Certificate, unsolici with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly, 2 W.
