A Graceful Tribute.

men
Among the many graceful tributes which their Excellencies have received in view of the near approach of their departure for England, ia the following, from the pen of a prominent citizen :-
THE COUNTESS OF DUFFERIN. Dear Lady ! when you leave our shore, Thou’lt leave a blank all will deplore ; Yet not for thy high rank alone, But generous kindness ever shown, To all of high or low degree, If worthy of thy courtesy. At princely fete or fancy ball, Which lent such charms to Rideau Hall, And fairly seemed enchanted scene, ‘The Arabian Nights” surpassed, I ween. The Enchantress—Lady Dufferin— With plays that waked our hopes and fears, Provoked our mirth, drew forth our tears, So true appeared in mimic art

“Your mother. Ah !—is there a doc- tor here!”

Dissolution of Co-partnership. FYNHE Co-partnership hitherto ae be-
tween the Subscribers, under the style or firm of
GEO. DAVIES «& CO.,
has this day been dissolved by mutual consent,
MR. DAVIES RETIRING FROM THE BUSINESS All persons indebtec. to the late firm are re- quested to pay their respective accounts to Messrs. HARRIS & STEWART, who will continue the Business at the London House, and discharge all debts due by the late firm.
The passions that will stir the heart ; (Signed) GEO, DAVIES, And when we cease to feel their sway, T. J. HARRIS, ( W. H. STEWART.
We've seen life’s brightest, happiest day, No matter what the Stoics say.
Nor should I fail the fact to state
How some enjoyed a vigorous skate,
And risked a fall—perchance their fate | For tho’ around was ice and snow, Moved fairy forms with cheeks aglow, And sparkling eyes that in a trice, Dissolved the coldest formal ice,
And formed instead a magic spell ;
But what it wrought let others tell,
I will not doubt all ended well.
Now parting soon, we'll wish all joy, With safe return to Clandeboye ;
And tho’ the Atlantic rolls between.
Our hearts will keep the memories green, Of Lord and Lady Dufferia.
THE MARKED FINGER. A Story from the English.
(CONCLUDED. ) He was within twenty yards of the
couple when they passed the great gates, which were swung to with a terrible noise.
Again Sir Chester uttered a savage cry, for he knew he could not open them with- out the key, kept in his library, and that while be was sealing the wall they would escape.
He ran to the gate, und then it must have been that he fainted.
When he came to himself, he saw vaguely in the moonlight, and lying near him, a small white object.
He touched it, and shuddered.
Briefly, it was a human finger, tattoed with seven small, purplish stars.
‘(Tt was Hever !’’ he muttered.
The finger had unquestionably been caught by the great iron gate and nipped off like a twig by the immense weight of the iron acting on the edges of the gate
How long had they escaped? In his fall his watch-glass was broken, and the hands were stopped. Ile never knew how he got back to the house.
“If you please, my lady is now in her room. Here, help!’’ suddenly cried the servant.
He fainted again.
He went to his library, and there he found the key of the grape-gates still swinging on its nail.
‘‘ How can she be back ?” he thought. ‘T saw brer take flight.”
She looked when suddenly he entered the room—the first time he had done so duriog their married life.
‘* Have you been from the castle, Lady Bowdeg,?”’ he asked.
“ No,”’ she said gravely.
By that time he knew that he had lain insensible during a whole hour near the gate.
«“ She must have returned,’’ he said, by the gate, and passed carélessly by my quiet body. She hates me. But why has she returned ?”’
Next day he called upon Hever. The reply sent down was that Mr. Hever was not well, but hoped to be at the ball in the
evening.
How he watched for Boleyn Hever’s appearance.
He came, and of course gloved. No
sign of the missing finger.
Sir Chester went up to him smilingly on the left side and grasped his left hand. The glove yielded.
The middle fioger of the glove had ‘ren stuffed with wool.
They were standing a little apart.
Still holding the maimed hand, he said,
‘You have sinned with my wife. You fled from me last night; but Heaven aveaged me, and cleft your marked finger
from your wicked hand. Dare you pmnile?”’ “Beware! I have always been your
one friend, and last night was more your friend than ever.”’
“A hypocrite as well 23 monster!” he said, ‘Do you know what I am going to do?”
“ What?”
«Kill that woman here before her guests, and, like my father, make an end to myself.”’
“And as needlessly, madman. The woman you saw came with me to warn your wife, out of her own experience, to bear any cruelty you might heap upon her rather than take flight. The pocr creature may or may not have been
guilty, Chester; but she proved her love
you when ~he forced herself to see your wife and save her from suck an out

CAPSICUM)
The Greatest Medical Discovery 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 er fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.
Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTERS are 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 action. and require to be worn continually to effeet a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant 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 jess 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. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MrLvin’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, 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 you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for R. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of ite wonderful effects. Although powerful and a in its action, you can rely on its safety
r the most delicate person to wear, as it fs free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- | aryplasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and oue plaster will seli hundreda to your friends.
k your druggist for Dr. MELVrIx’s CAPSI- cuM Porovs 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.
