Their chorus being ended they moved off, and Canada re-entered and told her fears. (ReciTaTIvVE —CANADA).

What means these sounds I hear on every side Through the dim woods? No brawny bear, No startled deer, or Indian tread is there. Behind this mossy trunk, safe hid, I'll bide, Aud see what strange adventures may betide.

Then did she hide behind a tree; and, to tie sound of music, there entered a proces- gion, emblematic of the history of Canada, having therein certain persons dressed in the e stumes of those nations whose people have hewn down her forests and built up her cities.

the last came these who should represent

and these, advancing to the tree where Canada lay concealed, drew her forth, and placed upon her a noble vestment and a wreath of golden maple leaves. Then did shé advance and call upon her people to welcome. their royal arid noble guests, and these thereat responded in a right royal chorvs.

(RECITATIVE AND CHoRUS-——-CANADA.)

From that. great land which gave us rule and right, Whose caiding hand we held through gloom to light. Whose entnetit honor, friendships, fame we " share, From England, England’s daughter claims our care. Say, Sisters, say. How shall we greet her? Sisters, say. (FuLt Cuorvs.) Welcome! Welcome from heart and hand! Welcome, fair lady to our land. No stranger thou; no strange land this to thee ; No stranger to our hearts henceforward be ; Our royal sister from across the sea. Welcome! Welcome, from héart and hand! Welcome, fair lady, to our land.

(RecrraTive—CaNnaDa.) From England comes, though seas our head-

lands part,

and Scotia’s pride with England honer blends, And England— England honors him she sends. Say, Sisters, Say !

How shall we greet him ? (For. CHorvs. ) Welcome! Welcome, from ‘heart and hand ! Welcome, fair sir, to this land. No stranger thou ; no strange land this to thee; No stranger to our hearts henceforward be ; Our royal sister from across the sea. Welcome ; Welcome from heart and hand! Welcome ! fair sir, to this our land !

Sisters, say.

Then did Canada turn to the representatives of the provincesan¢ bid them give their greet. ing.

We should strew their path with roses, With roses white pol red ;

We would set our fairest garlands Under foot and overhead ;

But our summer days have vanished, And our roses are all dead.

For the year has slowly faded With the fading of. the Fall, And our flowers too have faded, Leaves and flowers. one and all; And the land of Summer’s favor Is the land of Winter’s thrall.

Still, our hearts have never faded With the slender summer flowers ;

And the coldest chains of winter Cannot bind a love like ours,

And the buds of true affection Still shall bloom in winter hours.

Then did one, re resenting Quebec, habited as one of the old French no} having em- broidered on her robes the fleurs de lys and

head a niural crown, advance and sing. (Sonc—QuEBEC.)

I, Qebec, am come with greeting ; With the grace of other days ;

Bringing to our happy meeting Quaint and curious bygone ways.

Take me to your hearts, my sisters, Hold me dear and fair to see ;

-For my past, through bloody vistas, Shows a famous history.

Visions of past a attend me, "Neath the golden fleurs de iys ; Forms no present time can lend me, Stately dame and grand marquis.

Ghosts of noble heroes vanished, With salute of rusted steel,

Din of cannon, long since vanished, Clink of spur on soldier's heel.

Was there blood ?—’twas bravely shed ’ Grim, and glorious, mighty dead.

Welcome England’s noble scions! In the of romance : -

Hear what u Reverend Gentlemun says Of the

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

DEAR SIR “Constitutional Catarrh Remedy” was intro- duced to me. Ihave waited this long to see if the cure would remain permanent belore do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to be

rue.”

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 ticulars. ‘The inward ‘“‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering ane 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 quacter 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 forja cold in my head,

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, atiadhicated, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister,

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been 2 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 Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, te act quicker than any otirer 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; ‘Dut with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one.is applied the patient will fee} 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 for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Reing, 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 back, and all such eases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and

ou want a certain cure, ask your druggist for IR. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and
