TAMARAC

See a R. E. Elbeck, Kingston, Ont., says: ‘“Tamarac Elixir” is the beat medicine on earth for Coughs and Colds. In my own case it produced rapid and gratifying results. I caught a severe cold which it seemed impos- sible to break up, but continually became more thoroughly seated. Finally a hacking cough set in which troubled me day and night, causing soreness of the Lungs. Hearing your **Tamarac” highly recommended, I procured a bottle. The first dose eased the cough, and | one bottle completely cured me. It is a splen-

| did preparation, pleasant to the taste, and | than is used by the superi: | British navy; and the wit which has excited

THE PIRAT

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XIII. Full in the midst the polish’d table shines,

{And the bright goblets, rich with generous wines;

Now each partakes the feast, the wine prepares,

Portions the food, and each the portion shares;

Nor til the rage of thirst and hunger Ceased,

To the high host approath’d the sagacious guest, Odyssey.

The hospitable profusion of Magnus Troil’s board, the number of guests w ho feasted in the hall, the much greater number of retain- ers, attendants, humble friends, and domes- tics of ev ery possible description, who revelled | without, with the multitude of the still poor- jer, and less. honored assistants who came from ev ery hamlet or township within twenty miles round, to share the bounty of the muni- ticent Udaller, were such as altogether aston- ished Triptolemus Yellowley, and make him internally doubt whether it would be prudent in him at this time, and amid the full glow o his hospitality, to propose to the host who presided over such a splendid banquet, a radi- cal change in the whole customs and usages o his country.

True, the sagacious Triptolemus felt con- sciuus that he possessed in his own person | wisdom far superior to that of all the assem- bled feasters, to say nothing of the landlord, avainst whose prudeuce the very extent of his | hospitality formed, in Yellowley’s opinion, suflicient evidence. But yet the Amphitryon ! with whom 60é@ dines, holds, for the time at least, an influence over the minds of his most | distinguished guests; and if the dinner be in | good aty le, and the wines of the right qu: ality, | it is humbling to see that neither ‘art nor wis- dom, scarce external rank itself, can assume their natural and wonted superiority over the distributor of these good things, until coffee has boen brought in. Triptolemus felt the full weight of this temporary superiority, yet he was desirous to do something that might vindicate the vaunts he had made to his sister and his fellow-traveller, and he stole a look at them from time to time, te mark whether he was not sinking in their esteem from post- poning his promised lecture on the enormities of Zetland.

But Mrs. ,Barbara was busily engaged in noting and registering the waste incurred in such an entertainment as she had probably never before looked upon, and in admiring the host’s indifference to, and the guests’ absolute negligence of, those rules of civility in which her youth had been brought up. ‘The teasters desired to be helped from a dish which was unbroken, and might have figured at supper, with as much freedom as if it had undergone the ravages of half a dozen guests; and no one seemed to care—the landlord himself least of all—whether those dishes only were consumed, which, from their nature, were incapable of re-appearance, or whether the assault was ex- tended to the substantial rounds beef, pasties, and so forth, whitW 4ite rules of good housewifery, were destined to stand two attacks, and which, therefore, according to Mrs. Barbara's ideas of politeness, ought not to have been annihilated by the guests upon the first onset, but spared, like Outis in the cave of Poly- phemus, to be devoured the last. Lost in the meditations to which these breaches of con- vival discipline gave rise, and in the contem- plation of an ideal larder cf cold meat which she could have saved out of the wreck of roast, boiled and baked, sufficient to have supplied her cupboard for at least a twelve- month, Mrs. Barbara cared very little whether or not her brother supported in its extent the character which he had calculated upon as- suming.

Mordaunt Mertoun also was conversant with far other thoughts, than those which regarded the proposed reformer of Zetland enormities. His seat was betwixt two blithe maidens of j 4) Thule, who, not taking scorn that he had} upon other occasions given preference to the | daughters of the Udaller, were glad of the chance which assigned to them the attentions of so distinguished a gallaut, who, as being their squire at the feast, might i in all pro- bability become their partner in the subse- quent dance. But, while rendering to his fair neighbors all the usual attentions which society required, Mordaunt kept up a covert, but accurate and close ot servation, upon his estranged triends, Minna and Brenda. Udaller himself had a share of his attention ; but in him he could remark nothing, except the usual tone of hearty and somewhat boister- | ous hospitality, with whicl.he was accustome to animate the banquet upon all such occasions | of general festivity. But in the differing mien of the two maidens there was much more room | for painful remark.

Captain Cleveland sat betwixt the sisters, was seduluus in his attentions to both, and, Mordaunt was so placed, that he could ob-+/ serve all, and hear a great deal of what passed betwecn them. But Cleveland’s peculiar re gard seemed devoted to theelder sister. Of this the younger was perhaps conscious, for more than once her eye glanced towards Mor- daunt, and, as he thought, with something in it which resembled regret for the interruption of their intercourse, and a sad remembrance of former and more friendly times ; while Minna was exclusively engrossed by the attentions of her neighbor ; and that it should be so,

filled Mordaunt with surprise and resent- ment.

Minna, the serious, the prudent, the re- served, whose countenancs and manners in

dicated so much elevation of character Minna, the lover of solicitude, and of those paths of knowledge in which men walk best

without cumpany—the enemy of light mirth, the friend of musing melan- choly, and the frequenter of foun- tain - heads and pat hless glens

she whose character seemed,in short, the very reverse of that which might be captivated by the bold, coarse, and daring gallantry of such

this Captain Cleveland, gave, nevertheless, her eye and ear to him, as he sat beside her at table, with an interest ani a graciousness of attention, which, to Mor daunt, who well knew how to judge of her feclings by her manner, intimated a degree of the highest favor. He observed this, and his heart rose against the favorite by whom he had Leen thus superseded, aswell as against Minna’s indiscreet departure from her own character.

The Progress of the Race.

THE-human race in ancient time was in a very crude and uncivilized state. It has required the thoughts of centuries to elevate

it to its present high social and moral standing. As our minds wander back to

the days of Asia’s ancient monarchies, we can see at a glance lrow barbarous were the customs of our ancestors when they received their first lessons of advancement. It was, indeed, a dark and uncivilized age. An age when rulers cared only forthe excite- ,Ment of the chase and for the glory of con- ‘quest, when learning, art, science and civilization were prop: wated amidst the marshalling of ranks for rude warfare. Uneouth civilization became ecomi ingled with the barbaric customs of the age. Ig- horance received now and then the impress of knowledge, and rudeness partook of the touches of art. Humanity groaned under rarice and stained with human blood the thrones and palaces of kings ; 'there were secret treasons ‘and public mas- sacres, and every noble was a tyrant over the people.

But, happily for mentind, there has been wrought a great change in this res- pect. By constant and persevering appli- cation ignorance has oe n gradually over- come, and has given place to more learning, | progress and prosperity.

This transition from the obscurity of ig- noranee to the light of philosophy, from tyranny to libe ‘rty, has been etfected not by one influence alone but by numerous agencies. One of the first steps in pro- moting this change was taken when men turned their attention to the tilling of the

soil. As the accomplishment of one object leads to the undertaking of another, so this induced men to seek further advanee- ment. They ventured abroad and thus

discovered new continents. But they were not satistied with these lesser achievements, and therefore they sought to accomplish greater ones. As the mind expande d bet- ter governments were established, moral and religious ideas were advanced, and numerous inventions appeared. Grand and noble ideas were penned by great writers, and the once hidden arts and sciences were brought to light. So great, indeed, have been the developments of humanity, that man has converted to his use nearly all created things; and also has made, in many respcets, the very laws of nature the creatures of his will.

For this advancement much is due to those whus@ttwmes-eccupy prominent in the world’s history. All are familar with the names of Washington, Lincoln aud Patrick Henry, the patriots ; Pitt, Bis- marck and Gladstone, the statesmen ; Han- nibal, Czesar and Bonaparte, the warriors ; Macaulay, ( tibbons and Bancroft, the his- torians ; Aristotle, Bacon and Newton, the philosophers, and many whose names are not less prominent.

They endeavored by their example and

~

others

persevering researches to enlighten aud elevate the human race. Most of these men have long since passed to their final resting place, -but the influence of their lives still lives to animate and encourage others. Nor will it die with the present generation, but rather increase with them. Their names, like so many bright stars, will make resplendent the firmament of

to come. As to be governed fntluence on preceding

thought through the long as there is a nation they will exert an unknown those who succeed them. No

ages

/age has ever enjoyed benefits equal to those that are bequeathed to us.

As there is a progressive tendency which as it is evident greatest age in the era of a great lnprove- in time to come if we endeavor to What, then, the future of our country will be depends on us. Let us then struggle valiantly for the further wisdom and knowledge. (Let us embrace every opportunity that may ipresent itself, and improve each flying moment, and we will present to future ages ‘a history that will reflect gratitude to our- selves and honor to the race.
