Tie2t Lacing in the Pulpit.

ier. Mr. Hawies, in addressing a crowded el eration at St. James’ Marylebone, s)) -ary strongly on the ‘‘ Criminal Ignor- ance ao b Thoughtlessness of Tight Lacing.” Tie paraphrased in T'ruth :-—

What is it makes a lady's head

Feel heavy as a lump of lead?

What makes her nose's tip sored?

Tight lacing!

What makes her cheek burn like acoal,

Her feet as cold as Arctic pole?

Whas cramps her boy and her soul? Tight lacing! What makes her temper short and sharp? What causes her to fret and carp,

And on the smallest ills to harp? ; Tight lacing!

What checks her proper circulation,

And dulls her ordinate sensation?

ae What blighted babes breeds tor the nation? Tight lacing!

What makes her waist a warp-like thing, And gives her tongue a waspish sting? What baulks her when high notes she'd sing?

fight lacing ! What is it, with its vice-like squeeze, Destroys it faded victim’s ease,

And brings her doctors’ countless fees? Tight lacing!

What is it makes her gasp for breath, And —so stern modern science saith—

Dooms her too oft to early death? Tight lacing !

What brings a ‘‘ corn upon her heart,” And makes her—spoiled by cruel art —

Unfit to play the mother’s part? Tight lacing!

What beauty’s lines in her destroys, And fashion’s powerful aid employs,

To crush from out her life its joys? Tight lacing.

What ages her before her time,

And makes her feeble ere her prime?

What tempts to a self-suffered crime ?

‘Tight lacing!

What, quite igorinng nature’s facts,

Her waist so cruelly contracts,

That each inch saved fresh pain exacts? Tight lacing !

And what bad fashion of the day

Is it that ladies now should say

They li spurn without an hour’s delay? Tight lacing!

Dick Allen's Merry Christmas,

It was about ten o’clock on the night of Christmas Eve--2 good many years ago now—that Dick Allen gave his mame at the gate of Old Trinity’ College, Dub- fin, and passed in. As he looked in at the lodge-door, he felt a strong tempta- tion to sit for a while with the two burly good-natured looking night=porters by their roaring fire; for the night was bit- terly cold, and he felt more thoroughly alone than ho ever had before in the two- and twenty years ef his life. However, there were other feelings in Dick’s mind at the time that counterbalanced his sense of loneliness; so he merely replied to the porters’ kindly ‘Good-might, sir” and passed on to his roomsin ‘ Botany Bay.’ QOace within his rooms he lost no timo in striking a light, and then set to work to rekindle his smouldering fire. The prospect that the candle revealed was ‘ar trom cheerful. ‘The room was carpetless, and, except for a table, one armchair, and two or three dilapidated eane-chairs, almost naked of furniture. And yet they had not the look of the apartments of @ hard-reading sizar, who had neither means or desire for any de— coration beyond what was absolutely ne- cessary; the nails were there in the walls, but the pictures were gone; that handsome armchair and massive table had never been put in by themselves. Where was the rest of the turoiture? Everything betokened a recentand rapid fall i the fortunes of the tenant. He, however, had now at last succeeded in rousing to a show of animation the dying embers; and, after warming his hands for « few minutes over the biaze, he got up, aad, produciag a bottle of whiskey from his pantry, mixed a glass of * grog,’ and then, throwing himself into the arm- ohair, tell a thinking.

A perfect stranger to Dick and his story would easily have guessed that the thouvhts which were bringing such a weary look of almost hopeless wretched- neas upon that handsome young face were not over-pleasant ones. Sad enough in al: conscience they were, and uot with- out reason. It was now some six months since Vick had fallea out with his father, between whom and himself’ there had al- ways existed the strongest affestioa. Wat was the original cause of che quar- relis immaterial, Some trifle, occurriag at un inopportune moment, had set at Varisace two proud and willful, though loving hearts. Hot and bitter words had been spoken on both sides, The very closeaess of the bond which had united them before seemed to make the brexch more irremediati:; and Dick Ailen had left his home one bight in the summer Vacution, refusing all offers of assistance from his father, aod determined for the future to bold no communication with him. to wiot money, and consequently thought that aothing wus easier than to get it; so whil: the remainder of his last qu-rter’s allowance lasted, he lived pleasantly eaov zh: at his rooms in college, always on the look out for some means vi making

ef points of his discourse are thus

He had never knowa what it was/{

money, but not yet considering the search as very pressing or necessary. In fact he was quite satisfied in his owo mind that to a clever fellow—as he undoubted~ ly was—anything like an approach to want was an impossibility. When his money, however, began to disappear, it oecurred it occurred to him that his man- ner of looking for work ad perhaps been scarcely energetic enough, aud so he de- termined to set about making a livelihood witbout further delay.

It would be goinz over a thrice-told tale te relate the rebuffs and disappoint- ments that he met at every step ; how he tried i¢ obtain employment ia one way af- ter another, and at last began to think that there was no way whatever open to him. Ie tried journalism; but found the market already overstocked, and num- bers ef men with as much brains as him- self and tea times as much mechanical skill, applying for every vacancy. He had had, it is true, one or two transient cleams of suecess; but they had done him almost more harm than good, as they diverted him from the now all-important search for some occupation comparatively permanent.

To be continued.

Ice.—The following is the song of the iceman these days :— Scraping the ice in the frosty morn, Ploughing the ice till the dinner horn, Loading the ice in the misty grey, Sending the ice o’er the hills away, Sawing the ice in the daylight fair, Cutting the ice in the noon-day glare, Drawing the ice in the fading lght, Storing the ice in the solemn night, Packiug tie ice in the sawdust bed, Leaving the ice till the winter's sped, Selling the ice—how wealth increases With that trafficker in cold pieces. |

‘Ts this the editor?’ said the caller, a wild-eyed man, with long hair and a roll of manuscript in his hand. ‘‘It is,” replied the editor. ‘‘I have brought round a little thing that I dashed off in a few spare mo- ments before breakfast to see if you would put it in—that is to say, if you had room.” ‘‘Qertainly, certainly,” blandly replied the editor, ‘‘thero’s at least half a bushel of room; put it right in now,’ and he pushed his trusty waste-basket out from under the table. | :

What slipping, wretched slipping, As the people's heels are tripping, Their feet are pointing upward in a trice ; The awful words they're ripping, As they go off wildly ‘‘lipping,” Of a bump they got from contact with the ice.

To remove pin worms in the face, place over the black spot the holiow end of a watch key, and press firmly. This forces the foreign substance out, so that it may be brushed off, and is a cure.

It must require considerabie nerve to enable an individual to ask for a dead-head notice in a daily newspaper after paying cash for job printing where no paper is printed. And yet there are those who possess the nerve required, and exercise it, too. ~ +> — ~~ The Passenger Whom a New Jer-

sey Conductor Did not Put Off the Train.

He entered the train in Passaic, N. J., and took possesion of a comfortable corner in the baggagee car. As the conductor walked through the train and shouted ‘* tickets !” there was no response from the corner. “I must have his fare or I'll put him off,” the conductor said.

A tall negro who had charge of the ani- mal answered : ‘* What! fare for a dog ?” ' + Yes, the charge is the same for a dog a3 for a man.”

‘¢ Well, he won’t pay,” the negro retort- ed ; ‘‘so put him off.”

The animal was a very large bloodhound that had belonged to Mr. Heimas Romaine, and had been used for watching orchards and sheep and bringing home cattle from pasture. He had become vicious, and was dangerous to strangers; therofore, Mr. Ro- maine had presented him to an engine com- pany in Paterson, aud he was on his way to his new home,

As the conductor advanced, on nearing the next station, to fulfil his threat, the bloodhound simply raised his head from his paws, measured his antagonist, and with a look of scorn resumed his nap. Being a married man, and having a family to support, the conductor said he felt sorry for the animal, and ordered him to be de- livered with care under a D. H. check.

CATARREH,

Hear what a Reverend Gentlonan says of the Constitutional Remedy.

T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:— Deak Sin—It is now two years since your ‘Constitutional Catarrb Remedy’ was intre- duced to me. Ihave waited this ong to see if the eure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the : ects seemed to me to be “‘too good to rue.” I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Cireular 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 ; I would feel like smother be com to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertownin August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter ef the contents of one bottie | found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite clear of that ailment, and have not used any since of late I have taken some for a cold in my head, A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath-

some disease, Catarrh, ts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to

make what use of it yom may see proper Yours truly, j

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister,
