A Storm at Soa.

BY NICHOLAS ROSE.

tow drear the night upon the stormy blllow, Fant

The sailor-boy forgeta to seek his pillow ;

His liitle bark is tossed upon the ocean,

And angry waves mount high in wild com- motion.

Oh, dreadful night —the waters are enshroud- ed

In darkness, and the skies are all beclouded ;

Sun, moon and stars their faces all have hidden,

By heaven's command, to shine they seem forbidden.

Huge clouds in volumes rise like towering mountains ; The blackened heavens have unbared their

fountains ; ae The chilling rains in torrents are descending ;

The ship’s frail masts before the gale are bending.

The lightning’s vivid flash and booming thunder

Seemeth above to cleave the ship asunder,

Rent by some unseen hand her sails in tatters

Forth to raging winds scatters.

the storm-king

Before the blast the helpless ship is driven—

Hard to control her, have her sailors striven, | g

But all in vain ; her oaken timbers creaking, Seemeth with Death’s stern angel to be speaking.

Oh, dismal night ! the seamen’s hearts are yearning

With longings for another morn’s returning,

When they may greet with joy the sun's up. rising,

As it subdues the storm with power sur- prising.

In this lone night upon the boisterous ocean,

Go, sailor, seek thy God in deep devotion ;

Fear not, for He, whose watchful eye ne’er sleepeth,

With tender care, His watch around thee keepeth ;

He, who the sands upon the sea-shore num-

bers, Shall calm the storm, and sweet will be thy

slumbers.

More Quickened Conscience.

A far to medium Detroiter went home to supper the other night to find that his wife had entered the house only a moment before him, and he naturally inquired where she had been.

“ Richard, she answered, in a very sober way, ‘I have been to consult a fortune teller!”

“ What!” he exclaimed, turning pale in an instant, and staggering back against the wall.

- “ Yes, I have been to consult a for- tune teller,’ she went on, as the tears came to her eyes.

“ Bosh! madam. Fortune-tellers are humbugs—swindlers—liars !”’

“Richard, this fortune-teller me—”

“JT won’t hear it—I want none of their nonsense !”’ he interrupted.

‘¢ Richard, it concerns you !”

“IT don’t care! I want my supper— I have no time for foolishness !"’

“ Richard, she says that you are—’’

“T tell you I won't hear any of her balderdash! She lied about me, of course, and |'ll make her take it back or go to prison !”

Richard, won't you let me say that she said you were gradually killing yourself by too close attention to busi- ness ?”’

“ Did she say that ?”

“Why, of course she did!”

“Lizzie, forgive my harsh words. I see that they tell the truth and the truth only. After supper I'll get a carriage, and we’ll ride out, and while we are down town you'd better get that new bonnet you spoke of!”

Drought in Brazil.

told

The state of things in Brazil is re-

resented to be terrible. The drought

as devastated whole districts in the north of the Empire and some port.ors of the South. The people are said to be dying by thousands. Some of them gather in mournful, famine-stricken groups in the large cities, where their condition is the more pitiable, as there are not sufficient means to relieve them. There is no hope now for the cotton crop. The prospects for the sugar-cane are not so bad, as, if rain should come, there would still be time to do something. As to cereals, if the the drought should continue much longer, the situation will be something almost unparalleled in its horror. -_

The Fly in Wheat.

—_—

There seems to be some reason to fear that the universal expectations of a large wheat harvest in this Province are destined to receive a rude shock. On ’Change to-day there were exhibit- ed several ears of wheat furnished by Mr. McDougall, of Weston, which con- tained large numbers of insects re- galing themselves on the kernels. On the question whether they are pure midge, experts are divided ; some main- taining the affirmative, and others the negative reply. There can be no doubt, however, that they are both

able and willing to do a vast amount? Charlottetown,

of mischief, or that they wilk do it if left free play. Mr. McDougall states that after finding the unwelcome visitor in his own fields, he “ hitched up” and drove round several adjacent fields in all of which the same invader was pre

sent. We will hope, however, that the invasion is only of a local character, no similar report having been received from another quarter.—Ont. paper.

E. J. Hopeson, Plaintift’s Attorney.

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 undisputed 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 effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin 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- _— in a porous plaster have been discovered, Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’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 acertain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Aithough powerful and

uick in its action, you can rely on its safety

or the most delicate — to wear, as it is

free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dk. MELVIN’s CAPSI- cuM Porous 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,

FOR SALE, Valuable Freehold Farms and Building Lots,

near Winsloe Station, Malpeque Road, five miles from Charlottetown.

Yr BNHE subscriber has been instructed to offer for sale that splendid Property known as Kenwith, formerly the residence of the late Hon. J. M. Holl. The Farm con- sists of about Six Hundred Acres of excellent land, a large portion of which is cleared and has been for several years in pas- ture; the rest is covered with firewood and fencing materials. The substantial stone Dwellimg House commands a charming view of the country, and is surrounded by beautiful plantations and a park-like farm. It would make a delightful residence for a gentleman ; and being only five minutes’ walk from the station, affords such an opportunity to farm— and yet be within easy distance of Ch’town— as does not often occur.

The property has frontages on the Upper and Lower Malpeque Roads, old North River Road and North River, and will be sold in lots to suit purchasers. For further particulars
