Voetry. Sabbath in the Country. The creaking wagon’s in the shed, The busy flail is heard no more ; The horse is littered down and fed,

The harness hangs above his head, The Whip behind the door.

His leathern gloves and hooked bili To-day the woodman throws aside :

‘The blacksmith’s fiery forge is still,

The wooden wheel of the old mill Sleeps in the mill-dam wide.

Che miller’s boat is anchored, where, Far-out, the water-lilies sleep ;

You see their shadows mirrored there,

‘he broad white flowers reflected clear, Within the mill-pond deep.

The harrow’s in the garden shed, Hoe, rake, and spade are put away : Unweeded stands the onion bed, The gardener from his work hath fled, "Tis holy Sabbath-day.

Upon the wall the white cat sleeps, By which the churn and milk-pans lie, A drowsy watch the house-dog keeps, And scarcely from his dull eye peeps, Upon the passer by.

And sweetly over hill and dale The silvery sounding church bells ring ; Across the moor and down the dale They come and go, and on the gale Their Sabbath tidings fling.

from where the whitewash’d Sunday-school Peeps out between the poplars dim, Which ever throw their shadows cool Far out upon the rushy pool, You hear the Sabbath hymn.

From farm and field, and grange grown grey, From woodland walks and winding ways, The old and young, the grave and gay, Unto the old church come to pray, And sing God’s holy praise.

THE STORY OF A DETECTIVE OFFICER. CHAPTER [.—Conrixvep.

For a civilian, Mr. Byrle seemed pretty sharp at catching my drift; while, as an old hand, and knowing what was best with the public, Inspec- ‘or Maffery sat without saying a word, now and again at the most,

or one leaving Mr. Byrle to settle things for

himself. I then roughly sketched ont a scheme, which, in a few words, I laid before the gentleman.

“T understand your plan entirely, Mr. Nickham,” said the old gentleman, ‘‘and the sooner you begin the better, for I feel we shall be successful. Mr. Maffery assures me you can be relieved from your duty here at any time, so I trust there will be no delay. I have said money is not to stop you, and you will take this on account of expenses— when exhausted, let me know.”

With that he handed me a bank-note, and I thanked him, and of course, promised to do my best.

Then Inspector Mattery said, * 1 will see to all the essentials, Nickham, so you make your preparations as soon as you can.”

Now [ liked Maffery very well, and he was certainly one of our best in- spectors; but all this civility, taking trouble off my hands, and so forth, merely told me that Mr. Byrle was a most liberal party, and that Maffery believed he had got hold of a good thing.

Mr. Byrle shook hands with me, and they went away together, leaving me to think over the business.

I must confess I was a little disap- pointed—although I could see I was likely to be paid for my work—in being

set at such a common-place job as this. |

After I had traced Lady Brightley’s jewels (the reader does not remember this, I daresay, as it was kept very quiet but I got praised for my management of the case), 1 thought I should have been selected for the most important work; and when inspector Maffrey brought Mr. Byrle in, I thought it was about the great Bank-paper robbery. The reader is quite aware, 1 have no doubt, that Bank of England notes are printed on paper specially made for the purpose, and that no other paper has three rough edges, the only clean-cut edge being where the two notes have been separated—and this is one of the vveat tests of a genuine note. It will be recollected too, how a great quantity of this paper was stolen trom the mills at Alverstock, and the Bank was in a

terrible state about it, because as for;

engraving and all that handieraft sort of work—why, bless me ! there’s men by the dozen in England aad on the continent too—I know some of them— who could print off a note with all the little touches on which the examiners repy, as perfectly imitated as if they had worked for the Bank for years. So when the gang got hold of the genuine

aper, it was a serious matter. They

took the peincie! thief, however, and |° got the paper ba

vice it was too, as B——, the chief man in the affair, was one of the most reso- inte and desperate roughs in London ; and the officers that took him ran great risk, and deserved great praise,

|

Offcourse the public rejoicing was very great, because nobody had known when the bad notes might come into circulation ; but we knew, some of us, that it was alla sham, that a lot of the paper was still missing, and that if the right man got hold of it, there would soon be thousands of forged notes—all fives probably—floating about. It was pretended that all the paper was got back, or that the bank people thought 80, On purpose to make the holders of} the remainder think that the hunt was given up; but it was no such thing. } ‘wo or three of the best men in the foree were to continue the search, and [ had hoped that I should be selected ; but I was told I would not do, because, [ could not speak any foreign language, and it was thought the men might have to go abroad after the paper. For all that, when I saw Inspector Maffery come in with Mr. Byrle, I thought, as I just said, that 1 was to be chosen. However, I had found out my mistake ; and I was thinking over my in- structions, when the door opened again ; [ did not look up at first, supposing it was one of our men; but a cough at- tracted my attention, [ turned round. I saw a light-built, rather under-sized young fellow, with something of a foreign cut about him, very good-look- ing though, and a most uncommonly piercing eye; and he at once said: “IT am Mr. Byrle’s clerk, and have been waiting for him, and he wishes to know where he is to see you.”

“To see me?” I said. he want to see me?”

We have on exhibition, at onr Rooms, a large number of Photograps «f every variety, including the

be most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a softness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popu'ar elsewhere, and cannot fail to be- come so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct atten- tion to the beautiful

, .

Giaece Pictures which we make.- They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, and will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, bs they will not lose any of their beauty by aeing wet. ‘This valuable quality, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, ( make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons can have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere.

We give special attention to making Groups of Families, Societies, Schools, &c

Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of our suecess in this difficult branch of our art.

Our ¢NLARGEMENTS, finished in India ink, Pastel, Crayon, Oil and Water Colors have made a iavorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our customers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sitters come by appointment,

Photographs can “be Obtained for less money elsewhere ; but in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as-

The Greatest Medical Diseovery 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 CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTERS fre 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 aetion, and require to be worn continually to effect acure; 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 medical agent fer an outward applieation; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLAstTers, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practic, 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 — want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

JR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wondertul effects, Although powerful and quick in its action, you ean rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial isa onthernt quarentte of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dk. MELVIN’s CApst- cUM PoROoUS 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,
