When frends pass coldly by, my shun, Thy hariot I bear. Thy glorious face Is leaning towa d me, and its holy light Shines in upon my lonely dwelling place,

And there is no more night,

On my bended knee,

I recognize thy purpose clearly shown ;

My vision thou has dimmed that [may see | Thyself—Lhyself alone

I have nought to fear ; This darkness is the shadow of Thy wing ; | Beneath it I am almost sacred, here Can come no evil thing. j Ob! I seem to stand Trembling, where foot of mortal never yet has been, | Wrapped in the radiance of Thy sinless hand,

Which eye hath never seen.

Recruiting for the British Army. |

. . > . Year by year the task of the recruit-| ing Officer jor the British army becomes | amore difficult one. Not only does

the number of those voluntarily offering themselves for military services show a lecrease,, but in physical strength and

social st; nding they do not come up to the desired standard. According to

the last army medica{lreport, of the 59.- 436 men inspected, only 35,941 passed

fit for the service, and of jhese two hundred in every thousand were unable to write, and but seventy- eight in the same opumber were classed as well educated. Nearly ten thousand were rejected as being of in sufficient beight, weight or chest mes-

surement, and ene thousand eight hun-

dred for detective vision. About 37, 000 of the number were under twenty | years of age, 22,000 were under five| teet five inches in hei rht, and 33,000 | under five feet six inches. There was} au increase in youths under thirty-four 1n chest measurement and a decrease in | those of large girth. Both in age, | height, and chest measurement, the re- turns, when compared with previous years, show a serious decline. These tacts lead the British military jourvals to take a gloomy view of the possibili-

ties in Case Engiand became engaged in a great European strugyle, the sue- cess in recent campaigns beivg ascribed to the fact that the small number of men called for, enabled the authorities vo weed out all those unfit for the hard work of active warfare.

The Owls of New Zealand.

A queer story comes from New Zealand. The owls in that Island used to beas harmless as doves ; indeed,

they ooce were “mousing owls,” and, therefore, useful. But one night a settler left a sheepskin nailed to his root, and an owl c»me along and tasted of the fat mutton left thereon. That owl became a sheep killer, alighting on alamb’s back three nights later. Still more strange, all the other owls began

to Jike mutton, and now the New Zealand bird of that species slays thousands upon thousands of sheep,

their appetites growing by what they feed on, and their numbers increasing in proporticn to their prosperity. They

light on the backs of sheep and tear the poor beasts with their beaks, going at once down throug b the car eass to the kidney fat, which to the owl’s tongue is the daintiest of morsels.

“A FEW HINTS

FOR THE USE OF

pyrene piLts

For Constipation, or Costiveness, no remedy is so effective as AYER’S PILLS, They insure regular daily action, and re- store the bowels to a healthy condition.

For Indigestion, or Dyspepsia, AYER’s PILLS are invaluable, and a sure cure,

Heart-burn, Loss of Appetite, Foul Stomach, Flaitulency, Dizziness, Head- ache, Numbness, Nausea, are all relieved and cured by AYER’S PILLS.

In Liver Complaint, Bilious Dieorders, and Jaundice, AYEK’S Pitts should be given in doses large enough to excite the liver and bowels, and remove constipation. Asacleansing medicine in the Spring, these PILLS are unequalled.

Worms, caused by a morbid condition of the bowels, are expelled by these PILLs.

Eruptions, Skin Diseases, and Piles, the result of Indigestion or Constipation, are cured by the use of Ayer’s PILLS,

For Colds, take AYER’S PILLS to open the pores, remove inflammatory secretions, and allay the fever.

For Diarrhea and Dysentery, caused by

sudden colds, indigestible food, etc., AYER’S PILLs are the true remedy. “Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia, and Sciatica, often result from digestive derange- ment, or colds, aud disappear on removing the cause by the use of AYER’s PILLS.

Tumors, Dropsy, Kidney Complaints, and other disorders caused by debility or obstruction, are cured by AYER’s PILLS.

Dose.— To move the bew- 2 to 4 Pills; thoroughly, 4 to 6 Pills, Experience will decide the proper dose in each case.
