AYER’S. Cherry Pectoral.

No other comp!aints are so insidious in their atiack as those affecting the throat and lungs: none so trifed with by the majority of suffer- ers, The ordinary cough or cold, resulting pérbaps from a trifling or unconscious ex- posure, is often but the beginning of a fatal Bickness. AYER’s CHERRY PECTORAL has well proven its efficacy in a forty years’ fight with throat and lung diseases, and should be taken ia all cases without delay.

A Terrible Cough Cured. * In 1857 1 took a severe cold, which affeeted my lungs. 1 had a terrible cough, and passed night after pight without sleep. The doctors gave me up. iL tried AYER’S CHERRY PEc- YORAL, which relieved my lungs, induced sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary for the recovery of my strength By the econutiiued use of the PECTORAL a perma- heut cure was effected, I am now 62 years old, hale aid hearty, and am satisfied your CHERRY PECTORAL saved me, : HoRACE FAIRBROTHER,” Rockingham, Vt., July 15, 1682. 1

Croup. — A Mother’s Tribute,

“ While in the country last winter my little boy, three year's old, was taken ill with croup; it seemed as if he would die from strangu- lation. One of the family sugcested’the use of AYER’s CHERRY PECTORAL, a hottle of which was always kept in te house, This was tried in smal! aud frequent doses, and yo our delight in less than half an hour the little patient was breathing easily. The doc tor said that the Cuunry PrcTroRAL had saved my darling’s life. Can you wonder at our gratitude? Sincerely yours,

Mrs. Emma GEDNEY.”*

seats in the Y. M. C. A. Hall. If ‘‘clean!i- ness is the next thing to godliness,’ and we are to judge of the religious status of the aesociation by the condition in which the seats in this hall are kept, Godliness would not appear to be a staple article in the association. To say that the seats are dis- gustingly ffilthy, is to use a very mild ex- pression respecting them. Whether it is

or a combination of all, it is difficult to say, but whatever it is, after being seated for about fifteen minutes, you become painfully conscious of the fact that your clothes have contracted en intimacy with what is far from being satisfactory to yourself. In your efforts to extricate vour- self, you make not a bad representation of the pictures which are sometimes seen on advertising cards of mucilage ; and how- ever elevating the tendency of the music, it is difficult to dismiss the thought from your mind that ‘‘After the Opera is over’ you will he compelled to resort to the usual methods of getting your clothes cleaned.

How Derived. Sin,—Some time ago ‘‘ Enquirer” asked in Tne Examiner if its learned readers would explain how the term religion could be derived from the verbs it is said to come from. ‘These are two in number, the one said to be on the authority of Cicero, the other of Lactautius. After a while somebody calling himself ‘* Reply,” sug- gested that the choice was left to the inter- preter as best suited his purpose, the absurdity cf which it is needless to show. The genius of language and the law of verbal evolution contradict the interested explanations of the zea'ous cleric, whose zeal may be of God, but may not be accord- ing to knowledge, as St. Paul’s words imply. To derive religion from either relego or religo, (Cicero and Lactantius to the contrary notwithstanding) is to make a state:zeot that admits of no proof. If re/ego is the source, then relection (not religion) would have been the English word. ff religo, then religation would be the

form. But neither will stand the test of analysis. The word religion belongs to another formation altogether, As an

illustration, refer to the word inquity,which is the negative form of equity.. Euphony chanying thei after the negative preposi- tion in, into an e. In like manner the Latin word /egio, a company or congrega- tion, by the prefix re, becomes re-ligio. The genitive of this word is religionis (like reductio, reductionis, from which we form ths word reduction, by the elision of the is.) And so ‘‘the survival of the fittest” in euphonious perfection in this case becomes our ruling word. Orignally, the word re- ligion only conveyed the idea of reassembl- ing, without reference to the cause of meet- ing, or the subject to be discussed, as shown by

RESEARCH.

“Old Mismanagements, Taxations New.”

S1r,—Those little real estate tracts called “tax notices” are in the> hands of the official colporteur for distribution, and I suppose are open to criticisms, anyway, & ‘‘personal” and a ‘‘real” document of the kind are on my table, and with your per- mission I will examine the figures set forth. Looking over the personal property fly leaf, I find the assessment put down $400. The tract says, ‘‘The assessors have valued your personal property,” but the fact is they never set eyes upon it, or even asked to view it. If they had, they would have learnt,that the sum of $200 would buy more and better furniture than the house contains. The assessors, therefore, must have followed the lazy, and dishonest system of ‘‘machine valuations.’ But the person for whom the tax notices were deposited, is a | woman, with a family, struggling industri- | ously to wake both ends meet. Some ‘fifteen hundred years before the christian era, it was written, (see Exodus, xxii, 22, 23.) ‘*Ye shall not afflich any widow or fatherless child. If thou afflict them in any way, and they cry unto me, 1 will surely hear their cry, and my cry will wax hot, etc.,” and the sentiment of all civilized ‘people outside of Charlottetown is based on | this expression of God’s justice, and mercy, jand care. On the other tract, the Real | Estate figures are even more oppressive and ridiculous, The name on that is that of a

COMMITTEE.

‘The Awards on Musical [ostru- ments.

| ‘The Newcombe pianoforte, manufac-

}tured by J. Octavius Newcombe, Toronto,

‘Canada, heads the list with the first silver

‘medal and jurors’ report of commendation

for construction, quality of material,

'workmanship even tone thronghout ‘the instrument, and = general excel- ‘lence from @& musical «as well as

‘mechanical point of view. During the Ex. | position the Newcombe pianoforte: have ; been so frequently admired by musicians and others who have heard them that this final and substantial indorsement of their merits by the jury’ of experts will not be asurprise. It is, how- ever,none the less a genuine triumph for the manufacturers, who have not only had to | compete with other foreign makers, but with the wealthy and euterprising Ameri- can exhibitors from the three great centres of pianotorte manufacture in the United States—New York, Boston and Baltimore. The report of the jury in making thts award is very comprehensive, being a bold, expressive outline of the dis- tinguishing qualities of a firs!-class pianoforte instrument. While their report does not go into minute details of deserip- tion and landation, it serves as a basis for the manufacturers to claim general recog- nition of the merit of their pienofortes, which, on uprights alone, is the highest award, where no special patent has been in- cluded in eonstruction. Mr. Newcombe has every reason to be congralulated on the success of his visit to the Exposition, which, aside from the honors be carries, has served as a fitiing iatroduction in the South of his perfect pinafortes.”

Mr. Zarle, of this city, is the representa- tive of the celebrated house of Octavius Newcombe & Co.. Toronto. He has seld several of these tine ins!ruments in this city and they have all given unusual satis- faction. We ask our readers to read the notice published above of these fine instru- ments, copied from the Florida Times- Democrat, and would at the same time ad- vise any person in town or country wanting a first-class pieno at the lowest figure to see or write to Mr. Earle.

The Maritime Provinces.

_——

(Montreal iferald )

The commercial representative of an ex- tensive Montreal wholesale house, that has long been doing business with the Mari- time Provincesas far to seaward as New- foundland, has just returned after a two months very successful trip, in which he succeeded in making far more orders than formerly for goods wanufactured here, the speciality being vinegar. The Pro- vinces visited were Now Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. la all these sections, while prosperity seemed to prevail, there were complaints of depression in business, and the principal remedy suggested was Reciprocity with the United States, as the market there lies so convenient that the cost of sending the pro- ducts of the provinces is comparatively light. In St. John, N. B., shipowners suffered severely last year by the limited demand for the fleets of that province in freighting to England and foreign coun- tries. Nova Scotia isthe most energetic of allin demanding atreaty with the Re-

public, as the States constitute an important market for Nova Scotia fish, and used to take large quanti-

ties of Nova Scotia coal, potatoes, d&c. Under the last treaty it is represented the province prospered materially, and 1t is be- lieved it would do so again if some equit- able arrangement were entered into. Prince Edward Island is essentially an agricul- tural region, where the farmers seem to be comfortably off. The greatest complaint there isthe neglect of the Ottawa Govern- ment in not keeping its agreement with the Island, giving them an efficient service in winter to the mainland. Newfoundland is by no means prosperous. The seal fish- eries turned out very adverse last season to those engaged init. In addition, the reli- gious differences between Orangemen and Irish Catholics, which breai:s out im offen- sive demonstrations occasionally, help to intensify the depression prevailing in the Island. The Provincial Government end mercantile classes have been doing all in their power to promote a commercial treaty with the United States, and so far without success. Our informant speaks most com- mendably of the railroad and other facili- ties for travelling in the Lower Provinces, but the expense is rather heavy on com- mercial men, as the chief cities are widely separated from each other. a
