The Teacher

Whio advised her pupils to strengthen their minds by the use of Ayer’s Sar- saparilla, appreciated the truth that bodily health is essential to mental vigor. For persons of delicate and feeble constitution, whether young or old, this medicine is remarkably beneficial. Be sure you get Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.

“Every spring and fall I take a num- ber of bottles of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and am greatly benefited.””— Mrs. James H. Eastman, Stoneham, Mass.

“TI have taken Ayer’s Sarsaparilla with great benefit to my general health.” — Miss Thirza L. Crerar, Palmyra, Md.

“My daughter, twelve years of age has suffered for the past year from ih

General Debility.-

A few weeks since, we began to give her Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Her health has greatly improved.” —Mrs. Harriet H. sattles, South Chelmsford, Mass.

“A bout a year ago I began using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla as a remedy for debility and neuralgia resulting from malarial exposure in the army. I was ina very bad condition, but six bottles of the Sar- saparilla, with occasional doses of Ayer’s Pills, have greatly improved my health. I am now able to work, and feel that I cannot say too much for your excellent remedies.’”—F. A. Pinkham, South Moluncus, Me.

“My daughter, sixteen years old, is using Aver’s Sarsaparilla with good ef-

| fect.”’"—Rey. S. J. Graham, United | Brethren Church, Buckhannon, W. Va. i “I suffered from

Nervous Prostration,

with lame back and headache, and have been much benefited by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I am now 80 years of age, | and am satisfied that my present health and prolonged life are due to the use of

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.”—Lucy Moffitt, Killingly, Conn.

Mrs. Ann H. Farnsworth, a lady 79 years old, So. Woodstock, Vt., writes : “After several weeks’ suffering from nervous prostration, I procured a bottle of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and before I had taken half of it my usual health returned.”

bagpipes. From a literary point of view the criticism is exceedingly amusing, but I fear that I have unintentionally given offence to some who admire the music of the bagpipe. 1 caunot say that I agree with the writer in question. I merely gave the extract because I thought the writer's manner of describing the pipes very anus- ing. oe

The bagpipe should be entitled to our highest respect. In the wars of Scotland they had no unimportant part. Even to the present day the Svottish regiments go into action to the music of the bagpipes. and was it not the pibroch, which to the sharp ears of Jessie Brown and the worn- out garrison of Lucknow, told of the ap- proach of Havelock and his army of de- liverers. Never, 1 fancy, was sweeter music ever heard by that imprisoned gar- rison than the bagpipes of their rescuers.

+ %

+

Of course there are different ways of playing the bagpipes. The harsh, unknown tunes which we hear sometimes by untu- tored players, cannot for a moment be com- pared to the music which an accomplished piper is able to produce. One can hardly help admiring the pipers, or being delighted by their music, when they are seen and

heard marching at the head of a regiment.

of Highlanders; but it is a very different thine when one is forced to listen to an en- thusiastic but unfamiliar player as he tortures the unfortunate instrument. Under such circumstances [ am afraid the listener would not conceive a very favorable opin- ion of the music + | Beautifully as the pipers of a Scottish regiment play, there is a certain time in the day when the most patriotic Highlander would be loth to admit the fact. This isin the early morning. Any one who has lived in a garrison town or _who has been stationed in a military camp, -can-understand the feelings of the sleepy , soldiers when they are awakened at the re- veille on early winter morning, and are jforced out of their beds by the pipe tune of ‘**Hey, Johnie Cope, sre ye | wauking yet ?” as the pipers march up and down blowing as hard as they can. How- /ever pleasant the music is at other times, it is entirely disregarded at reveille, and the exclamations which are made by the soldiers as they dress for parade are gener- ally the reverse of flattering. ~ **

The complaints of the soldiers are, after all, selfish. I think thet Robert Buchanan, in that delightful comic poem, ‘* The Wed- ding of Shon McLean,” very beautifully describes the music of the bagpipes :—

‘Like the whistling of birds, like the hum- ming of bees,

Like the sough of the south wind in the trees,

Like the singing of angels, the playing of shawms,

Like ocean itself with its storms and its calins,

Were the pipes of Shon when he strutted and blew.”

And again :—

‘**Then Shon took the pipes ! and all was still,

As silently he the bags did fill,

With flaming cheeks and round bright eyes,

Till the first faint music began to rise.

Like a thousand laverocks singing in tune,

Like countless corn-craiks under the moon,

Like the smack of kisses, like sweet bells ringing,

Like a mermaid’s harp, or a kelpie singing,

Blew the pipes of Shon; and the witching strain

Was the gathering song of the Clan McLean.’,

Twenty pipers ‘‘a’ fu together, came o’er the heather” to Shon’s wedding, and if they were fu’ when they arrived they must certainly have been overloaded when they went away, for the last lines of the poem are devoted to them and the fates which befell them, as foilows :—

‘The small stars twinkled over the heather As the pipers wandered away together ; But one by one on the journey dropt, Clutching his pipes and there he stopt ! One by one on the dark hillside Each faint wail of the bagpipe died,

Amid the wind anc tlie rain ! And the twenty pipers at break of day In twenty different bogholes lay, Serenely sleeping upon their way, From the wedding of Shon McLean,

A correspondent asks the date and par- ticulars of the first bible priuted for the use of the blind. 1 have a pretty full ac- count of this bible in my notebook, but by a strange oversight I omitted putting down the date. It was printed by Mr. Alston at

The New Testament was completed in four volumes, super-royal, quarto, in great rimer. It contains 623 pages, forty-two ines on each page. . Death of Mr. T. A. Lepage. AN EXPRESSION OF THE FEELI'GS OF HIS PELLOW-TEACHERS.

Tue following short and hastily-written summary of the speeches delivered by members of the Teachers’ Association re- specting their lamented teilow-worker, now at rest, was prepared for THe Exam- INER of yesterday, but was unavoidably erowded out of that issue :—

Mr. Montgomery said he had long known Mr. Lepage, arrd that he had never, in all his life, met anyone whose character he more admired. His life was a great moral lesson to all teachers and to every- vne who knew him. In his opinion, no

,teacher who labored in the province had

exerted as much influenee for good as Mr. Lepage. He had never ntet a more un- seltish man. Nothing could be more beautiful or more impressive than Mr. Le- page’s life in respect to his parents and his brothers and sisters. The impress which he made upon the teaching profession would, he believed, never be remove. As a friend, he had frequently had occasion to ask Mr. Lepage’s advice and assistance in complicated and annoying cases connected with his oflice as Superintendent of Edu- cation, aud had ever found him judicious, sympathetic, and honorable. In respect to the views Mr. Lepage entertained regard- ing the future state he would only say— “If there is another world, he lives in bliss, If there is not, he made the best of this.”

Mr. Neil McLeod, Priucipal of the Davies School, Summerside, seconded the resolution, and said that Mr. Lepage’s life had been for him an object lesson—an ob- ject lesson which presented an ideal of what a manshould be. He was Mr. Le- page's fellow-stadent for a short time, and

e felt that the influence exerted by Mr. Lepage had been for his good. He referred to Mr. Lepage’s characteristic devotion to his home duties as well as to those relating to his office of teacher, his pre-eminent un- selfishness, his great abilityas a writer,—the terseness, clearness, and accuracy of his diction, and the concentration of thought exhibited by his poetry. His sonnet, ose Homo, showed that he had an elevated con- ception of the Lord Jesus Christ. His self-sacrificing life showed that, whatever his doubts on some points, he was full of the Master's spirit.

vr. Seaman briefly and feelingly ex- pressed his appreciation of Mr. Lepage’s life and work, and bore testimony to his sincerity and earnestness. The loss sus- tained by the Association and the province would, he believed, be felt more and more as time goes on.

Mr. Kiley spoke of Mr. Lepage’s pre- eminent ability as a teacher. He had been one of Mr. LePage’s scholars, and he felt that he had_been made a better man by reason of the influence exercised by Mr. LePage in Prince of Wales Col- lege.

Mr. Thompson also spoke as one who had been a pupil under Mr. LePage. He, too, bore testimony to the high ability of the deceased. He believed that Mr. Le- Page’s influence will be felt almost as long as oureducational system continues to exist.

Mr. Arbuckle, (Inspector of Schools) remarked upon Mr. LePage’s pure love of duty as a son, a pupil and a teacher.

Mr. Stewart, of Georgetown, concurred in what had been said by others: Mr. Le- Page approached as near to perfection as any man he ever met.

Professor McLeod said that Mr. LePage was the very essence of unselfishness, and suggested that a tablet or vil painting should be obtained and placed in the room in which the Association imet as a memorial of hina,

Dr. Auderson said that he had known the deceased since he was six years old—a precocious little boy at Sunday School. As 4 pupil of Prince of Wales College, be was one of the few who attained to the highest rank; and as a teacher he was one of the most enthusiastic, assiduous, and in every way excellent. His unselfishness was a very marked teature of his character.

The President (Mr. Millar) spoke briefly. Mr. LePage was, he said, without doubt facile principas among the teachers of the Province,

The speakers and the hearers were alike visibly affected during the delivery of the speeches.

The resolution was carried by an unani- mous standing vote.

It was afterwards, on motion of Mr. Sea- man, seconded by Miss Barr, resolved that cominittee be appointed to obtain a suitable memorial of the deceased, to be placed in the room in which the Association meets.

It is natural that in the absence of any clus to the Whitechapel murderer, the pub- lic imagination should run riot, ard all sorts of theories start into existence as to the kind of fiend who is committing these atrocities and startling the whole civilized world. A correspondent of the Pall Mall
