The Teacher
Who advised her pupils to strengthen their minds by the use of Ayer’s Sar- suparilla, appreciated the truth that 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 ain greatly benefited.’’ —Mrs. James H. Lastman, Stoneham, Mass.
“IT have taken Ayer’s Sarsaparilla with great benefit tomy general health.” Miss Thirza L. Crerar, Palmyra, Md. ‘My daughter, twelve years of age, has suffered for the past year from
General Debility.-
A few weeks since, we began to give ier Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, Her health has greatly improved.””—Mrs. Harriet H. Battles, South Chelmsford, Mass.
“About a year ago I began using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla as a remedy for debility and neuralgia resulting from malarial exposure inthe 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 [ cannot say too much for your excellent remedies.’—F, A. Pinkham, South Moluncus, Me.
“My daughter, sixteen years old, is using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla with good ef- fect.’’— Rev. S. F: Graham, United Brethren Church, Buckhannon, W. Va.

Lcaibigilaleimait CatTHonics IN THE Unitrep Statres.—The Catholic directory places the Catholic popula- tion of New England at nearly a million and a quarter. The diocese of Portland, in which Bangor is included, contains 61,000. Port- land diocese has fifteen parochial schools attended by 3,670 children. The entire Catholic population of the United States com- prises about one-eighth of the entire people of the country. asoatlbeavcien Sr. Vincent pe Paci.—The annual meet- ing of the Summerside branch of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was held on Sunday last.

The attendance at the male academy is much increased. ‘the dining-hall is filled to its utmost limit, and any further addition of students would make necessary the finishing of rooms in the fourth story.

ASTRONOMICAL,—Says an exchange: Mer- cury is evening star. He reaches his greatest eastern elongation Jan. 30th. He is then at his period of greatest brilliancy, is further north than the sun and is approaching the earth. The conditions are all favorable for observation, and he will be visible to the naked eye on the 30th an hour and a half after the sun. The careful observer, if the evening be exceptionally clear, must note the sunset point, and throe-quarters of an hour after sunset will find Mercury about seven degrees north of the point where the sun went down. It is well to tind his position with the aid of an opera glass, and when thus found, the unaided eye can easily follow his course.

At it AGAIN,—Says the Fredericton Capital: Theodore White, who was arrested for stealing eggs and jewelry some months ago while wear- ing the Salvation Army badge, completed his sentence of five months in the common jail on Wednesday. The last month or two he had been “rooming” with John Bolter. The young lad had scarcely been released when he went up to Bolter’s house and told Mrs, Bolter that John had sent him after his suit of clothes. Mrs. Bolter never suspecting the young lad’s intention, at once handed over the clothes, and yestorday learned that they had never reached the jai!. Theodore has not been seen since, and is believed to have left the town.

SineLe Copvigs Two Cris VOL. 24.—-NO. 47. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,
A Christmas Greeting.
Sir,—I left my P. E. Island home last
ifall and entered Queen’s College, the better
to prepare myself for the duties of life ; and after spending three months in constant application to my studies, accepted the kind invitation ofa P. E. Island friend, who had been settled as pastor of a con- gregation in Ontario, to spend the Christ- mas holidays with him.
On arriving, on Saturday morning, Dec. 22nd, at Lorneville, a small village station about seven miles from Lake Simcoe, I was met by my friend, who gave me such a cordial welcome as only one Islander can give another. A short stay with my friend, who until recently had been a stranger to me, revealed more of the history of the congregation than, perhaps, he had in- tended.
Our friend came here a short time ago a comparative stranger, and found that the field, through some cause or other, had been sadly neglected. But the untiring zeal and energy of the new pastor soon re- vived a good healthy spirit of devotion and consecration.
A new manse had been fitted out and a sma!] dilapidated church in one section of the congregation has been replaced by a neat and commodious new one. And a still better sign, fifty-nine new members have been added to the communion rel].
Sunday morning the Church was well filled, and a good practical sermon preach- ed to an attentive and appreciative au- dience. Monday evening, the occupants of the manse—especially the strangers within their gates—were alarmed by seeing a long array of lights surround the place.
A gentle rap at the door, however, soon indicated that the place was not to be taken by storm; and as soon as admittance was granted a seemingly endless stream of young ladies began to pour in. The pre- possessing appearance of the young ladies would secure them a welcome anywhere, but they were doubly welcome as each one carried a basket laden with the good things of life, prepared after the latest culinary lore, in which the ladies of Lorneville ap- pear to be proficient.
No sooner were the ladies well within doors when the young men began to pour in. And when they had arranged matters to suit their purpose, they presented their pastor with a well-written address, indica- tive of their appreciation of his services, and a more tangible indication’ in the form ofa riding sleigh and accompani- ments.
The ladies also presented him with an address, and at the same time a fine side- board, together with a handsome dinner set. When this had been settled, and the wants of the inner man attended to with refreshments, a suitabie literary and mausi- cal programme was arranged, and after spending a most enjoyable evening they started for their homes as the clock was striking ‘‘the sma’ ’our ayout the twal,” the pastor blessed in receiving, and the congre- gation more blessed in giving.
{- Knowing you, Mr. Editor, to be inter-
‘ested in the welfare of Islanders at home or abroad, 1 thought | would drop you this note for publication. The pastor referred to, is the Rev. Malcolm McKinnon, B. A., formerly of Brown’s Creek, P. E. Island, whose brother, John McKinnon, B. A., of (Jueen’s College, accompanied me on this occasion. Yours truly, D. CAMERON. Lorneville, Jan. 5, 1889.
The great popularity of Ayer’s Pills as a cathartic is;due no less to their promptness and eflicacy than to their coating of sugar and freedom from any injurious effects. Children take them readily. Sea Ayer’s Almanac for this year,just out.

OcrEaN FreicutTs.—A Pictou man who has just returned from New York says that ocean treights have increased wonder- fully and all the talk is about ships. Some men in New York are chartering vessels at 100 per cent. over what they did two years ago.

On His Dieniry.—Peter Jackson, ithe colored Australian pugilist, when shown the despatch, announcing that Jem Smith, the English champion, had issu- ed a challenge to fight him, said, if Smith wanted to meet him he would have to come to California, as he would fight nowhere but in California, and that his mind was not
fully made up whether he would meet Smith under any circumstances. Shanes ANoTHER WarnING.—Norman Holland,
aged thirteen years, while seated in his class at the Methodist Sunday School, Syd- enham, Ont., on Sunday afternoon, drew from his pocket a dynamite cap, and not knowing its nature, picked it with a pin, when it exploded, tearing away four fingers from his left hand and one from his right hand. Two other boys who sat near Hol- Jand were wounded in the face. Dr. Sulli- van amputated two fingers and dressed the wounds.

A Ricn Fixp.—George France, a farmer of Laporte, Ind., went into the woods near his residence a few days ago to chop stove wood. He was accompanied by his son. The two commenced work at an old hollow beech tree. After it was felled the elder France looked into the hollow stump and
