Sheaves
The day is passed that seemed so wearisome,
Now ooming darkness ali my toil relieves,
And in the cool, gray twilight hastening home I sing along the way-— Master, | come, Bringing my sheaves !

The ground was hard and stony, and I wep’ Over the tiny stalk, the tenderleaves ; From hour to hour my leving vigil kept, Waited and toiled, and prayed, while others slept, Behold my sheaves!
I am ashamed, dear Lord, they are 50. few ; Yet dol no Thy pitying love perceivea— Searching this heart of mine all through and through— Not what | did, but what I tried to do ; Accept my sheaves !

Sam Siick and the Bears.
When I was a hualf-grow’d lad, says Sam Slick, the bears come down from Nor-West one year in droves, as a body might say, and our woods near Slickville was just fullof’em. It warn’t safe to go & waodrin’ about there a doin’ of nothin’, 1 tell you. Well, one arternoon father sends me ioto the back pastur’ to brio home the cows. ‘And,’ says he, ‘ keep a stirrin’, Sam go ahead right away, and be out of the bushes afore sunset, on ac- eount of the bears, fer that’s about the varmints’ sapp2r-time.’
Weil, I looks to the sky, and I sees it was considerable of a piece yet to dayligh: down, so 1 begins to pick strawberries a: I goes along, und you never see anything so thick as they were, and whererever the grass was loug, they stood up like a little bushes, huog in clusters, most as big avd twice as good, to my likin’, as yar- den ones. Well, the sun, it appears to me, it appears to me, is like a hoss; when it comes near dark it mends its pace, and gets on like emoke, so afore ] koow'd where [ was, twilight bad come pecepio’ over the spruce tops.
Off [ sot, hot foot, into the bushes, arter the cows, and as always eveptuates when you are ia a hurry, they were turther back thun common that time, away ever so fur back toa brook, clean off to the rear of the farm, so that day was gone afore I got out of the woods, avd [ got proper frightened. Every noise I heerd I thought it was bear, and when I looked round a one side, | guessed heerd one on the other, aud 1 hardly turned to look there, afore I reckoned it wis behiud mo. | was e’en almost skeered to death.
Thivks I, ‘1 sh) never be able to keep up to the cows if w bear comes arter ’em 2a’ chases ’em, and if I fall astarn, he’il just snap up a plump little corn-fed feiler like me in less than oo time.
‘Cryin’, says I ‘though will do no good. You must be up aad doin’ Sam, or it’s a gone goose with you.”
So athought struck me. Father had always been a talkin’ to me about the leadin’ men, snd makin’ acquaintance with the political big bugs when I zrowed up, aod having a patron, and so on. Thinks I, ‘I'll take the leadia’ cow for my patron.’ Sol jist goes and cuts a long, tough ash suplin’, and cuts the little limbs off it, and then walks alongside of Mooly, as meachin’ as you please, so she! mightn’t suspect nothin’, and then grabs right hold of her tuil,’ and yelled and screamed like mad, and walloped away a: her like anything.
_ Well, the way she cut dirt was cau- tionary; she cleared stumps, ditches, windfalls and everything, and mide xu
straight track of it for home as the crow flies. Oh, she was a clipper ; she fairly | flew alo.g, and ifever she flagged, I laid it onto her with the ash saplin’, aud away , we started again, as if Oid Nick himseit were arter us,
Bat store I resched home, the rest of the cow~ cume a bawlin’ and a roarin’ and a reciu’ like mad arter us,and gained on us too, s0 us most to overtake us, whea just as] come to the burs of the cow yard, over went Mooley like a fox, brought me whap up agin 7em, which knocked all the wind out of my lungs and the fire out ot my eyes, and laid me sprawlin’ on the ground and every one of the flock went right slap over me, all but one— poor Brindle. She never came home again. Bear nabbed her, and tore her most ridiculously. He eat what he want- ed, which was no trifle, | can tell you, and left the rest till the next time.

To the Electors of the Second District of King’s County:
GENTLEMEN, —In again soliciting your suffrages, 1t becomes my duty to state the cir cumstances under which I appeal to you for re-election.
During the Session recently terminated, a vote of want of confidence in the then Govern- ment was carried in the House of Assembly, wiich resulted in the resignation of the Ministry. His Honor the Lieutenant Gover- nor was pleased to entrust me with the for- mation of a new’ Government, which | success fully accomplished. ; .
Believing that the Electors desired an opportunity to pronounce upon the conduct of the late Ministry, and wishing to obtain the sense of the country on the preseat position of affairs, a dissolution of the House of Assembly has been advised, and an appeal to the Con- stituencies will be made without delay. :
At the last General Election public senti ment was expressed in favor of secular education, and the present Ministry will give effect to the voice of the people by maintaining the unsectarian system.
The Government are determined to resort to every legitimate means to lighten the burdens of the tax-payers. Inu order to accomplish this end it will be necessary to curtail the ex penses of legislation, and believing that one Legislative Chamber is sutlicient for this Province, a Bill will be submitted next session, having for its object the abolition of the Legislative Council. The measure will be so framed as to amply protect the interests of property holders. Provision will likewise be made for a reduction of the remuneration to members.
Our civil service is in a very unsatisfactory condition, and the expenditure in regard to it is greatly in excess of the present means of the Province. The Government will adopt measures for the reorganization of the entire service, with a view to the amalgamation of some of the departments, a decrease in the number of officials and a general reduction of salaries.
Agriculture has notof late years received such encouragement as the staple industry of the Province demands, In order to stimulate the exertions of oar farmers and stock raisers the ‘‘Agricultural and Stock Farm” will be placed under improved management, and means will be adoptrd to render it more gen- erally beneficial than it has hitherto been.
This Province is entitled to a proportioal share of the Fishery Award, and the present Ministry will leave nothing undone that they can accomplish, to obtain the same.
The barbarous system of imprisonment for debt will be abolished, and a more humane law for the protection of creditors will be sub- stituted for it. A measure to secure liens for labor and advances will also be intreduced.
The law relating to roads and _ bridges re- quires amendment. It and the Registration and Ballot Act shall receive the attention of the Government.
A system of the strictest retrenchment and} most rigid economy in the public service will be inaugurated, so as to reduce all the control- lable outlay and keep the expenditure of the Province within its revevne.
If, after the closest husbanding of the pub- lic resources, the Government find it necessary to continue direct taxation, that system will be adopted, which shall be, least obnoxious to the people. and will entail the smallest expen- diture im the imposition and collection of the amount required.
As I have already exceeded the usual limits of an address, I wiil not now refer to other subjects that will attract the attention of the Ministry. I wish, however, to assure you that the utmost endeavours of the Govern- ment will be directed to promote such etli- ciency, as well as economy, in the administra- tion of our public affairs, as may redound to the prosperity of the Province and the con- tentinent of its people.
I have the honor to be, Your obedient servaut, W. W. SULLIVAN.

(CAPSICUM)
. OU SF RE!
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 Deen 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 ef ordinary plasters.
DR. MELVIN’s CAPsIcumM 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 ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physiciansin all ages have thoronghly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as & 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, convinced of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLAsSTERS, 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 hack, 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 a certain cure, ask your druggist for
»R. 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 safety fo. the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manutacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will ¢7U1 hundreds to your friends,
Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSI- cuM PoroUs PLASTER, and take no other; o7, on receipt 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.

CURES CATARRH.
Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.
T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—
Dear Sir—It is now two years since your “Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- I have waited this ong to see
if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy
etiects seemed to me to be “‘too good to
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. he 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. Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878. Ask for Littlefield’s Constitutional Catarrh Remedy and take no other. _T. J. B. Harprxe, Dominion Agent, Brock- ville, Ont. For sale by all Druggists at only one Dollar per bottle.
