A PAR MER’ WEALTH

Does not Simply Consist of

Broad Acres and Ready Cash.

ee ae eee ee

Broad acres and a go@i bank account do not constitute a farmer’s true wealth. There are hundreds of farmers around us who possess wealth in lands and gold, but who lack that true fortune and coveted

possession known as good health. True manhood, vigorous health and strong

nerves are Heaven’s beft gifts for all classas and conditions of men. itisa melancholy fact that men and women in the couatry, breathing the *st air, drinking God’s bubbling purest air, drinking from God's bubbling fountains and springs uncontaminated by germs of disease, are liable tothe same

| dread diseases that come thick and fast to

city people.

Nature.s grand laws are inually violated everywhere, and as a conseq ence the penalties come swift and sure. These penalties consist of diseases varying in form and character. We find debility, nervousness, rheumatism, neuralgia, sid- ney and liver troubles, heart disease, dys- pepsia, indigestion and a variety of terri- ble blood diseases.

When the arrows of affliction pierce with venowed sting, the farmer and his family must seek the same healing agent that city people ase with such success. Paine’s Celery Compound is,. to-day, the farmer’s great health restorer and true liSe giver. Its record in the rural districts f our Dominion is as bright and lustrous

cont

CELERY COMPOUND RESTORES it WHEN LOST.

as it is in the thickly populated towns and citiss. To so high an eminence has its credit and worth bem advanced, that the majority of country and city families pow regularly keep one or more bottles tor any emergency that rogy arise.

Paine’s Celeiry Compound has done more life-savip z work than al] other medi- cines combined. It has saved life after the doctor faised; it has given health and vigor after \ ears Of failures with common medicines. Mr. Samuel Hanna, an es- teemed and wellknown farmer of Man- vers, Ont. strives his womderful experience with Pame™s Celery Con.pound as follows:

‘“ After severe sickness and suffering for a Jeugt coftime, Lam happy i state

that was made well by Paine’s Celery Compound. To be raised np from a low ami weak state inside of two weeks Is a

marvellons work, which nc thing else but Paine’s Celery Compound eculd have ac- complished.

“ After using balf the first bottle of the Compound I was able to dig the holes for a forty rod fence, and hefpto build it. Lefore using Paine’s Celery Compound I could not sleep and had no appetite; now I enjoy good sleep and s healthful appe tite. Paine’s Celery Compound is worth its weight in gold to anv sufferer ; it is the best medicine in the wog2d.”

' JOKE HOWE ON THK BRITISH CON- STITUION

Mrilliant and Eloquent Eulogy in a Cam paign Speech

When Mr. Howe wes fighting the creat battle of responsible government ne made many *peeches in various parts of Nova Scotia, only a few of which have beea pre- served, and these mostly in a tragmentary form. The following eloquent eulogy of the free spirit of the British constitution is taken from a speech delivered in Hants, and, as th. Halifax Herald remarks, one can well understand how the hearts of the people were fired under the influence of such magnificent oratory :

“God, in his infinite kindness, scatters over every country the int-llect required to develop its resources, administer its affairs, and secure the inhabitants that measure of happiness which they are fit- ted to enjoy. But God is no respecter of persons; the blessing he bestows are com- mon blessiugs, in which all have an inter- est, andin the enjoyment of which the humblest of his creatures may be per- mitted the most largely to participate. The river, which spark es along the vale, stops nut to enquire whether the fields it refreshes or the hearts it gladdens belong t» the rich or the poor. The flower sheds is as sweet a perfume iv the widows seanty garden as in the marbel-railed pert-

erre. So it is with that sacred fire which men call genius—that quickening priao- ciple that animates and governs human

society. A castle may frown upon a cliff overlooking half a country; the lord of that vast domain may revel in every lux- ury which can hamper the senses or s.im- ulate to a wide range of intellectual activ- its; the armed retainers may tread the massive wall, or make the courtyard a mimic school ef war; the wise and the brilliant may stroll ‘neath old ancestra trees, or cnliven the festa] hall with the flashes of wit and the hoarded treasures of experier ce ; a Jong line of sages and wor- riors, look nz down from the walis of that stately pile, may lure to elevated thought aod high achievement—and yet the chil- dren born within that castle, thus furnish ed and endowed, may scarcely possess enough of intellect to fold sheep upon the hills. But far down in the valley, bereat the shadow of the cast'e, the peasan.’s-cot may offer to its inmates a scant return for ubremitting toi; and yet from the loins of that poor pearant may spring the youth, whose ardent soul, fired by divine inspir- ation, nay point to noblest aims and achieve the highest triumphs. Art may to him seem instinct; senates may hang delighted upon his accents, or armies reau the presage of victory in his eves.

“The constitution of England wisely adapts itself to the arrangements of Prov idence; it draws, from the humblest as from the highest ranks of life, the talent

which the nation produces and erliste it

Public de- partments are regarded as public tru-t« to which all may aspire, and with the hon- ors, and influence, and emoluments o1 which a wise sovereign aud a gratefu! peop e¢ may stimulate to exertion, and in- vest patriotic enterprise with a national character and crown it with a national reward.

C .nning’s mother was an accress; Pitt wax a cornet of huxsars; Brougham con.- menced life in garret; Syden- ham in @ counting house; Peel’ father was a+otton spinner. The biographical history of onr country is rich im such names, and furnishs on every page its animating Commentary upon the free spirit of our constitution.

‘ilal pubic departments descended father to son, as they did here until re- ceut!y; had they been held for life, a3 our oppunents de-ire now, woull it have been seorich? Would these glorion« illustra. tions have been so wumerous? Under the one system public spirit would have died, under the other it would have lar— guished. Make public offices heirlooms, and the intellect which should te tound in the service of the government, is at once arrayed against it; give men life ten- ure, and one generation must pass away before the ambitious have anything to as- pire to or a nation anything to bestow.”

For Sreauinc a Bivte. — The New York Commercial Advertiser gives the following additional details of the recent lynching of two negroes in South Carolina suspected of stealing a Bible:

“4 negro who. was charged with having stolen a Bible and some loose furniture from achurch in Barnwell county, was captured by fonr well-known men, one a pliysicisn, and tied toa buggy witha long halter. The horse was then driven rabidly for some miles. As the roje was about the man’s neck, he was nearly dead at the end of the journey. Because he re- fused to admit his guilt, he received 150 lashes, and died in great agony. Then his old mother, his young wife and this baby were stripped naked and beaten. The old woman was killed, and the young woman and child are in a critical condi- tion.”

After they get through with Turkey for her treatment of the Armenians, remarks the Halifax Herald, the powers should turn their united attention to vindicatin th: rights of the Negro in the Unite States. There does not appear to be any hope of any power within the republic do- ing anything of the kind.

Auive tv Her Corr:iy.—According toa late despatch the mining settlement of Duryea, two miles above Pittston, rh was recently the scene of a sensation caus- ed by asupposed dead woman reviving just as the undertaker was about to close the lid of the coftia. The woman was Mrs. Romanieki, a widow of 40. She was sud- denly taken il] on Monday and grew worse until Tuesday when she apparently died. Au undertaker proceeded to arrange the preliminaries for the funeral. Upon go- ing to the coffin to fasten down the lid, to his horror the supposed corpse opened her eyes and glanced about the room. While her astonishment was great, that of the guests was far greater, snd many of the women present became greatly excited. The funeral was postponed and a doctor summoned. He said the case was one of suspended animation.

WARSHIPS ON THE LAKE.

Bellicose Belknap Urges the Abrogation of the Treaty with Great Britain and the Construction of a Naaal Force on the Lakes.

Admira! Belknap of the United States navy has written a letter to Mr, Richard P. Joy, of Detroit, commending an article written by the latter and published in the Marine Keview, of Cleaeland’ advocating the abrogation of the treaty with Great Britain probibiting the building of war- ships on the great Jakes. Admiral Beik- nap says in part: “If the shipbuilders in our ports on the great lakes cannot be allowed to compete with ehipbuilders in other } art: of the couatry in the building of ves» i> for Our navy by reason of the treaty wit Great Britain, itis high time that +ucu treaty were,amended so that our Shiplainding plants, wherever situated, may Luve ao equal chance in the matter of government work. © Independently cf what Canada may be doing in the con- struction of steam vessels for lake marine, readily couvertible into effective gunboate, Great Britain relies upun the facility otthe Weiland canal for the ready as- eembl.ng cof her gunboats and small cruisers in the great lakes in the even: of war with she United States, With a fix- ed and well d:gested policy, indomitable push ani sleepilees foresight, ever looking towards future contingencies, and the ex- pansion of the empire, British statesmen, when they do not play the part of the bully, after the method of Lord Palmer- ston, make their designs under the cover of # Velvei-ianded diplomacy as seductive as itis dangerous. Too often in truth it lulls other powers, and especially the too trustful United States, into a blind, and rometimes fatal, sense of security. The siren song of Britannia is continually sounded in our cars in notes exalting ties of kindred bluod and tongue, but when we look about us and note the fact that three-quarters of our diplomatic conten- tions of any note are with Great Britain and her colony the Dominion of Canada, we may well look askance at the pro- fessions of fair-dealing and sincerity. In- eatiable Britain, indeed, never relaxes her vigilance in any direction, and whenever she detects a crack of opportunity in any quarter, she inserts, on the inetant,a wedge of claim and demand, and, at the propitions moment for herself, drives it nome with dogged purpose and resistless blows, regardie-s of the sensibilities or the rights of other powers,save, perhapse, Russia, France and Germauvy. At this time, in fact, every mail from Alaska briugs tidings of ber alleged efforts to appropriate valuable points and islauds along the coast Jine of that territory, just a8 she laid claims to the island of San Juan in the Puget Sound, after the cou- clusion of .he treaty of 1846, defining our north-west boundary. The British maw, indeed, never gets its fill.

‘Commerce is the handmaid of civiliz - tion, and every nation has the indubitable right to protect its ships wherever they may be. Therefore, our great tonnage on the lakes should have tue protection that forts and ships of war alone could give.

‘What right has England tu insist that the United States shali not keep a naval force of whatever strength they choose on the great lakes? Letthe people of the great north-west demand protection ashore and afloat, and where England or her med- dlesome colony, Canada, ans or floats a gun let us meet each one with two.’

A Srraxes Fixp.—Mr. 0. R. Tamlyn, of Summerside, has quite a curiosjty. On Tuesday he was cutting and hauling brush f-om Crabbe’s woods, at the northeast of the town, when he found the remains of an officer’s sword high up on a liinb of a spruce or furtree. The sword b'ade is rusted entircly away eave a small piece

near the hilt. The part grasped by the

hind was etill there but a vers slight low thattered it, 80 badly was the steel rusted and the

wood rotted. The remains of the wood still adhering is of a dark brown color and seems to be of mahogany or walnut. That which broke away on being handled, Mr. Tamlyn says, scemed to be cork and was carved inte twisted bead work like a rope. The cage of the hilt for the protec- tion of the hand is of brass and although covered with brass rust is very well pre- served. In its fret-work it has the “crown aod V.R.” emblem, while roughly en- graved on one part is “1667 N. H.,” part of this being doubtless the date. Evidently it had been hung on a low limb and, since, the tree had grown until it had been lifted up considerably from the ground. At what time and by whom it had been placed there ie a mystery.—Farmer.

Great Deror in Bostox.—The Boston Standard announces that it has found ma- terial evidence for the rumor that a new union railroad station, ot nearly the same area as that of Causeway street, on Kuec- land street, to be used as the Old Colony division of the consolidated road, the Al- bany and New England road~, will be built. It is further stated that money legislative assistance will be asked next year to enable furtherance of the plans, which will necessitate the closing’ up of several short streets and control of real estate, which is designed to form the site of the most extensive railroad depot in the world, or 14 acres in extent. The re- ported estimated cost is $3,000 ,000.

-_ 2--—

In his third letter te The Week on “The Cost and Profit of Liberty” Principal! Grant deals with the militia force. He asks what is needed to make the militia effective, and answers: (1) regular drill, (2) a supply of officers thoroughly educat- ed in military science and art. At present, he says, some of the b.ttalions are drilled for only twelve days every second or third year. We havea force on paper of 35,000, but better have a force of 25,000 drilled for at least twelve days every year than a nominal force of 35,000. In regard to a supply of officers, Principal Graut says :-—

“Yet the great requisite for an effective militia is a steady supply of educated ef- ficers. Why, then, not utilize the R. M. C. graduates? Attach them for @ year te the permanent schools; send them for six months to Aldershot, and then give them commissions in the permanent force, make them adjutants of the militia regiments, and—if thereare’any,left—givethem junior positions inthe Public Works Depart- ment, where good engineers are evidently required. If all are not absorbed in these ways, offer tc the Provincial Govern- ments the privilege of nominating cadets to the college, as is dove in the States, on condition that each Province shall ap- pointa gfaduate annually to its Public Works Department.”

This would cost money,tie fearned Pria- cipal admits. But what, he asks, is the use of playing at soldiers? All shams are bad, but sham in military matters is particularly detestable. The money would, he save, “be much better spent than in building political railways or in digging a useless canal on the impudently avowed plea that a county should get its share of public pluud r,

Rheumatism of 20 years’ standing radically cured by Scott's Sarsaparilla.

Mrs, Sarah Browning, an estimable resident of the Ambitious City, was for twenty years a sufferer from acute rheu- matism, and her restoration to health is soremarkable that we present the case for the benefit of our readers, many of whom are doubtless sufferers from this painful complaint which arises from blood poison. Mrs. Browning says: ‘‘1 used only ene bottle of Scott’s Sarsaparilla and received such benefit that I continued taking only at intervals for two months. That is seven months ago, and the pain has not returned. I had spent a fortune in various “‘ treatments ” and was told by one medical man that a cure was im- possible as I had suffered so long.”

Scott’s Sarsaparilla cures by making and keeping the bloodpure. Itincreases flesh by digesting flesh-forming foods. It is the most successful medicine in the world to-day, for dyspepsia, nervous troubles, rheumatism, sciatica, syphilitic afflictions, pimples and all diseases originating in a foul condition of the blood.
