The Shadow of the Rock.

‘‘A hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest ; as rivers of water ina dry place ; as the shadow of a great rock in a

weary land.” — Is. xxx: 2.

In the shadow of the Rock Let me rest,

When I feel the tempest’s shock Thrill my breast ;

All in vain the storm shall sweep, While I hide.

And my tranquil station keep By Thy side.

On the parched and desert way Where I tread,

With the scorching noon-tide ray O’er my head ;

Let me find the welcome shade, Cool and still,

And my weary steps be stayed While I will.

I in peace will rest me there Till I see

That the skies again are fair Over me ;

That burning heats are past,

And the day

Bids the traveler at last

Go his way.

Then my pilgrim staff Pll take And once more

ll my onward journey make As before ;

And with joyous heart and strong I will raise

Unto Thee, O Rock, a song Glad with praise !

About Youngsters.

Never frighten a child. It unmans a boy, and it unnecessarily shocks a girl's nerves. Men who were known to have been {fearless soldiers have trembled in a ‘haunted’ room. They were fright- ened in their childhood, and although their manhood revolted, yet the subtle influence of their early training over- came their manly efforts at composure. It is possible, no doubt, to overcome, this early terror of the unkuown, but in the majority of cases the men—and they are more numerous than they them- selves will admit—who are timid when alone in ‘ haunted’ chambers are those who, in early life, have been unnerved by senseless stories about ghosts. In the good old times, when the ‘ gentle fays and faries gay’ played pranks around the household, frightening chii- dren was a common practice. The young ones were then lulled to sleep with stories of ‘rath’ and ‘ banshees,’ ‘leprehawns’ and ‘ Jack-o’-the lantern,’ while others of a fierce mien brought terror to the young one’s mind. And they all did harm. The child crouched in terror, and men, so reared,ofien started at the rustling ofa leaf, and strained their imagination to find a “warning” in the murmuring of a brook, or the banshee’s call in the whining of adog. When still older children should be guarded against reading the vicious novels which now inundate the market. The other day we real of three respectable boys who, incited by stories of Indian hunters, went West for the purpose, as they de- clared, ‘of hunting bears and killing Indians.’ The dime novel had done its work, and crime was so glossed over as to appear like virtue. The danger of the immoral literature now sold in so many booksellers’ shops is that, in the hands of the author, ‘crime loses half its vice by being robbed of all its grossness.. What any boy or girl would admit to be wrong if asked deliberately, is yet made appear as if it were right, because it is dressed in the deceptive language of subtle deceit. Parents incur a grave responsibility by not watching and knowing the charac- ter of every book their children read, and at this season of the year the two evils to which we have referred are particularly liable to be fallen into.

Rest for Headaches.

Dr. Day says, ina late lecture: What- ever be the plan of treatment decided upon, rest is the first principle to ineul- cate in every severe headache. Rest, which the busy man and the anxious

. mother cannot obtain so, long as they

can manage to keep about, is one of the first remedies for every headache, and we should never cease to enforce it. The brain, when excited, as much needs quict and repose as a fractured limb or an inflamed eye, and it is obvious that the chances of shortening the seizure and arresting the pain will depend on our power to have this carried out ef- fectually. Itis a practical lesson to be kept steadily in view, in that there may lurk behind a simple headache some lesson of unknown magnitude which may remain stationary if quietude can be maintained.

There is a point worth attending to in the treatment of all headaches. See that the head is elevated at night, and the pillow hard; for, if it be soft, the head sinks into it and becomes hot, which with some people is enough to provoke an attack in the morning if sleep has been long and heavy.

A man sentenced to the penitentiary was told that he could select any oc- Cupation he chose. “Very well, then,” he said, “I prefer to be a sailor.”

CATARRE. Constitutional Catarrh CURES CATARRE.,

Hear what_a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren. edy.

Remedy

T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—

Dear Str—It is now two years since your “Constitutional Catarrh Remedy” was intro- duced tome. Ihave waited this long to see if the cure 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 }

rue.”

I was afflicted in my head for years before I 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- hef, 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 = this ae unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may Foe tae y ay see proper.
