Tho Maple.

All hail to the broad leafed maple, With its fair and changeful diess A type of your youthfnl country In its pride and loveliness ; Whether in Spring or Sumner, Or in the dreary Fall, 'Mid Nature's forest children, She’s fairest of them all.

Down sanny slopes and valieys, fler graceful form is seen,

Her wide umbrageous branches The sun-burnt reapers screen.

’Mid dark-browed firs and cedars, Her livelier colors shine, _

Lixe the dawn of a brigater fatare On the settlers of pi:

3 OF PRue,

she crowns the pleasaut hill-top, Whisper son breezy downs, And casts refreshing shadows O’er the streets of our busy towns; She gladdens the aching eye-ball, Shelters the weary head, And scatters her crimson glories On the graves of the silent dead.

\When the winter frosts are yielding To the sun’s returning sway, And merry groups are speeding To sugar-woods away. — The sweet and welling juices Which forms their welcome spoil, Tell of the teeming plenty Which here waits harvest toil.

When sweet-voiced Spring, soft breathing Breaks Nature’s icy sleep, And the forest boughs are swaying Like the green waves of the deep ; In her fairand budding beauty, A fitting emblem she Of this our land of promise Of hope, of liberty.

Droop silently and fall Like drops of life-blood welling

From a warrior brave and tall, They tell how fast and freely

Would her children’s blood be shed, ’Ere the soil of our faith and freedom

Should echo a foeman’s tread.

The cost of the proposed canal across the Isthmus of Darien is estimated at $53,000,000, but wise mon consider it well to count the actual cost at double the estimate.

The subject of fire-damp in mines and | other kindred questions are to be sub- mitted to a royal commission in Eng- Jand, of which Messrs. Warrington, Smyth, F. A. Abel and Prof. Tyndall are the principal members.

Recent investigations appear to prove | that at one time the Sea of Azov was in direct communication with the Caspian. Some of the proofs of this aro the oc eurrence of cockle and other marine shellsin the sands intermediate between the two seas.

‘Prof. Daniel Wilson is of the opinion that there is a very liberal infusion of Indian blood in the French Canadian. In the neighborhood of Quebec and Quebec and Montreal and in the Ottawa Valley, there is, he believes, hardly a family descended from the original settlers that has not some traces of In- dian blood.

According to the statisties of Prof. Newman Spallart, the capital invested in all tho railroads of the world exceeds $15,500,000,009, their roads require 62,000 locomotives, 112,000 carriages, and 1 500,000 goods trucks. Annually 1,600,000,000 tons of mer- chandise and 1,500,000,000 passengers are conveyed by these means of transit.

In the course of some curious exper- iments made by Prof. Charcotin Paris, & patient was thrown into a state of catalepsy by looking steadily at the electric light. To produce a state of lethargy orsomnambulism on onesideat the same time, it is said to be sufficient to close the corresponding oye, or to cut off the light with axscreen. The two estates of catalepsy and lethargy fre then co-existent on both sides of the body.

M. Dode proposes the following plan to protect iron from rust : He coats the

surfuce with a thin film of borate of

lead, in which some oxide of copper

has been dissolved, and some scales of

precipitated platinum held in suspen- sion, by means of a brush or bath. He then heats the composition until it is fused. The result is a thin, glassy coating, which wil! withstand the action of sewer-gasses, dilute acids, or alkalies and the heat of a kitehen fire.

It is asserted that from the summit of

Mount Etna the circle of vision has the enormous radius of 150.7 miles. The habitable zono of the mountein is very fertile and sustains a dense population 1,424 to the square mile. Rodwell a#ays the gigantic chesnut tre: are no myths, but sober realities. He asserts that the diameter of the trunk of one of them is twenty-five feet, and that a

ublic road passes through the much

ecayed trank of the lar,est, the Cas- taana di Cento Cavalli.

M: Bohn has invented a new light lamp, described in a recent number of * Nature,” Which indicates the hour by the combustion of the oil. From the oil reservoir rise two vertical glass tubes ; one contains oil and is graduat- ed for the hours; the other containing the wick, saturated with oil, and giving the light.

The Greatast Medical Discovery sinea the Creation of Man, or sinee tho Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has Deen eaused by outward application as the present, It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resortto the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’sS CarsicumM Porous PLASTERS ere acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever befere 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 te effect aeure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant oue is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansiu all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELvVIN’s CApsicun 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 ace~tain cure, ask your druggist for

Jk. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safet foi the most delicate person to wear, as it A { 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 e-li hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELvrx’s CApst- cum Porous PLAsreEr, and take no other; or, on — of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to auy address in the United States or Canadas,

rg CATARRE.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.

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

Drar Str—It is now two years since your ‘Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. Ihave waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the hap effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good ae true.” ° 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, 1 would feel like smothering and be som to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three botiles. 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.
