Now I Lay Me.

Bed -time for the twittering birdies, Mother Wren has hushed to rest >

Bed-time for my little birdie, Nestled closely to my breast.

Now beside me, lowly kneeling, Hear the lisping tongue repeat—

Dear old praver of tender memory — ** Now I lay me dowa to sleep.”

With what trusting grace, and tender, {osy lips petition make ;

** Pray the Lord tu take my spirit, If I die before I wake.”

And no thought of dread comes o’er me, As I kiss her sweet ‘‘good-night”—

We're so careless of out darlings Till we lay them out of sight !

Once again ’tis birdie’s bed-time ; Little neighbors in the tree

Hush their baby birds to slumber, With no thought of lonely me.

Ah ! my mother-arms are empty, Draped in sadness all the room,

And no whispered ‘* Now [ lay me,” Breaks upon the twilight gloow.

Smooth and white the little pillow ; Undisturbed the pretty bed ;

On the table lie her playthings ; Mute reminders of my dead.

For no more my little treasure By sac mother’s heart may keep ;

In the Heavenly Father’s bosom i have laid her down to sleep.

Down tosicep! Ah! yearning mother, Murmuring and sick at. heart,

Full of joy shall be the waiting, Where no sorrow fiads a part.

There we'll fiad our garnered treasures, From all patn and earth-cares free,

Where no sail good-bye shall pain us Throngh a long eternity.

Be Honorable.

Boys and young men sometimes start out in life with the idea that one’s success depends on sharpness and chic- anery. They imagine that if a man is able always to “get the best bargain,” no matter by what deceit and mean-! ness he carries his point, that his pros- perity isassured. This is a great mis-| take Enduring prosperity cannot be) founded on cunning and dishonesty. The trickly and deceitful man is sure to fall a victim, sooner or later, to the! influences which are forever working against him. His house is built upon the sand, and its foundation is sure to give way. Young people canuot give these truths too much weight. The} future of that young man is safe who eschews ever phase of double dealing, and lays the foundation principles of everlastiug truth.

Economy.

The habit that obtains in many fam- ilies of ‘heaping’ food and giving a little and considerable more thau is asked for, has nothing to be said iu its favor, and a great deal against it. Unless one has a strovg, firm appetite that ouly an earth. quake or a tempest could affect, a large quantity of food is appalliog. It is much pleaxunter tu seod oue’s plate and have it replenished, thao to be obliged to leave food upon the plate. In orderto clear the plate one ts prone to overeat, from and idea of ‘saving’ the food.

Economy does not sizvify a lack of plentifulness nor stinginess. It mesons enough for ewch and all, and nothing is wasted, sod when food ts served in over- abundance, waste must be the result, un- less, indeed, the surplus is gathered to- gether »gain—the simple idea of which is disgusting. Moreover, it is a comfort to get just what one asks for—if “halt a cup of tea,’”’ that much and 00 more.

Edmonia Lewis, the colored seulptress, contracted to make» piece of statuary to be puton agrave in S:. Louis. The clay model pleased Mr. Thomas, the other party to the bargain, who paid $1500 down, »gree ng to vive $500 more on the delivery of the marble statue. The com- pleted work was sent from Italy, but Mr. Thomas refused to accept it, claiming that the workmanship is so poor that “the statue is a burlesque on art.” Misa Lewis has sued for the $500, and a large number of art experts are to testify in the trial.

The baby carriage js condemned by the Berlis physicians in cases where the little ones sit fucing their nurses and are pushed backward. The natural desire of the eve is to draw nearer to what it sees, xud the practice of reversing this normal order of things. and causing sur- rounding objects to recede is liable to af fect injuriously the development of both sight aud brain.

The Greatest Medical Diseovory since the Creation of Man, or since tho Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been eaused 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 of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s Capsircum 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 kiud. Al! other plasters are slow of action. and reguire to be worn continually to effect acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin 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 ig only of very recent date that ils advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful enres effected by Dr. MELvIn’s CApsicuM Porous PLAstTeRs, ard 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 orliaiment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want ace*tain cure, ask your druggist for

IR. Metvin's CApsicuM Porous PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of iis wonderful effects. Although powerful and

uick in its netion, you can rely on its safety or the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used. in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a suiticient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will ¢4i hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSI- cum Porous PLAsren, 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 ény address in the United States or Canadas,

Constitutional Gatarrh CURES CATARRE,

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

Remedy

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

Dear Sir—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 be

rue.”

i was afilicted 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 seusation often preventing me from lying jong, 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 1 found decided. re- lief, aud 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 1 have taken some for acold 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.
