Mischief-Makers

Oh, could there im this world be found

Sone little spot of hallowed ground,

Where village pleasures might go rouns i. rillag »tt ot

Without, the village tattling ! i How doubly blest that place would be, Where ali might dwell in liberty,

Hree from the bitter misery

Of gossips’ endless pratting.

If such a spot were really known, Dame Peace might claim it as her own, And in it she might tix her throne,

For ever and for ever. There, like a queen, might reign and live, \While every one would soon forgive ‘The little slights they might receive,

And be offeuded never.

‘lis mischief-makers thatremove Far from our hearts the warmth of love, And lead us all to disap -ove

What gives another pe tsure. They seem to take one’s part —but when They've heard your case, unkindly then ‘hey soon retail them a‘. ag un,

Mixed with their poisonous measure.

And then, they’ve such a cunning way

O/ telling i'l-meant tales ; they say

‘* Don’t mention what I’ve said I pray, I would not tell another ;”—

Straight to your neighbor's house they go

Narrating everything they know :,

And break the peace of high and low, Wife, husband, friend, aud brother.

Oh that the mischief-making crew Were all reduced to one or two, And they were painted red or blue, That everyone might know them ; Then would our villagers forget To rage and quarreil, fume and fret, Ur fali into an angry pet, With things so much below them.

For ’tis a sad degrading part,

To make another's bosom smart,

And plant a dagger in the heart, He ought to love and cherish,

Then let ws evermore be found

In quietness with all around,

While friendship, joy, and peace abound, And angry feelings perish.

A MODERN SERMON.

ON A TEXT NOT SELECTED FROM THE

HOLY SCRIPTURES.

The following, says an English paper exhibits the method upon which the average parson coustructs his dilectable discourse :

‘Brethren, the words of my text are

‘Qld Mother Hubbard, she went to the

cupboard, To get her poor dog a bone ;

But when she got there the cupboard was

bare, And so the poor dog had none.”

‘Those beautiful words, dear friends, carry with them a solemn lesson, I propose this evening to analyze their meaning, and attempt to apply it, lofty as it may be to our every-day life.

‘Mother Hubbard, you see, was old ; their being no mention of others, we may presume that she was alone, a widow—a friendless,old solitary widow. Yet, did she despair ? Did she sit down and weep, read a novel, or wring her hands ? No! she went to the cupboard. She did not hop, or skip, or run, or jump, or use any peripatetic artifice ; she solely and merely went to the cup- board.

‘We have seen that she was old and lonely ; and we now farther see that she was poor. For, mark, the words are ‘the cupboard.’ Not one of the cupboards, or the one above, or the ene below, or the one under the floor, but just the cupboard. The one humble little cupboard the poor widow possess- ed. And why did she go to the cup- board? Was it to bring forth golden

goblets or glittering precious stones, or costly apparel, or feasts, or any other attributes of wealth ? It was to get her poor dog abone! Not only was the widow poor, but her dog, the sole prop of her age, was poor, too. We can im- agine the scene. The poor dog crouch- ing in the corner,looks wistfully at the solitary cupboard, and the widow going to that cupboard in hope, in expecta- tion, may be—to open it, although we are not distinctly told that it was not half open, or ajar, to open it for that poor dog.

‘‘But when she got there the cupboard was

bare, And so the poor dog had none.”’

‘When she got there!’ You see, dear brethren, what perseverance is. You see the beauty of persistence in doing right. She got there. There were to turnings and twistings,no slipp- ing or slidings, no leaning to the right or fulterings to the left. With glorious simplicity we are told that she got there

‘And how was her noble effort res warded ?

‘The cupboard was bare!’ i. was bare. There were to be fonnd neither apples nor oranges, nor cheese-cakes, nor penny-buns, nor gingerbread, nor erackers, nor nuts, nor Incifer-matches. The cupboard was bare! There was but one, only one solitary cupboard in the whoie of that cottage, and that one the sole hope of that widow, and the glorious loadstar of the poor dog, was bare! Had their been a lez of mutton, a loin of lamb, a fillet of veil, even an ice from Gunter’s, the case would have beer different, the incident would have been otherwise. But it was bare, my brethren, bare as an infant born with. out a caul,

‘Many of you will probably say, with all the pride of worldly sophistry — The widow, went out and bougat @ Ah, no! Far removes these mun- Hubbard,

dog biscuit.’ from these earthly ideas, dane desires, poor Mother the widow, whom many thoughtless worldlings would despise, in that she only ‘owned One cupb Ara, percelve— ; Or T might even say, saw—al Once the relentless logic of the situation, and yielded to it with all the heroism ot that nature which had enabled her without deviation to reach the barren cupboard. She did not attempt, like the atitf neek- ed seoffers of this generation, to war she did not try, science, to iniderstand.

against the inevitable ;

like the socalled men of

explain what she did rot ;

She did nothing. ‘The poor dog had none?” And then at this point, our

information ceases. But do we not kaow sufficient ? Are we not cognizant of enough ?

Who would dare to pierce the veil ‘hat shrouds the ulterior fate of old ‘Mother Hubbard,’ her poor dog, the cupboard, or the bone that was not there? Must we imagine her still standing at the open cupboard door ; depict to ourselves the dog still dro p- ine his disappointed tail upon the floor; the sought for bone still remaining somewhere else? Ah, no, my dear brethren; we are not so permitted to

lattempt to read the future. And should

we, like her, ever be left a hungry dog and an empty cupboard, may future chronicles be able to write also of us, in the beautiful words of our text:

CATABR RE. Coustitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARETE.

Lear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Remedy. T. J. B. Harpinc, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

DEAR Sir—It is now two years since your “Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. Ihave waited this ong to sze if the eure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be *‘too good to be true.”

I was afflicted in my head for years before 1 suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular 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 long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third..I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head.

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
