LE DP oe Toes FLOWERS Collap?.c of a Balloon in Mid-Air. |

The flowers are blooming everywhere, On every hill and dell ;

And oh, how beautiful they are | How sweetly too they smell !

The little birds they spring along, And look so glad and gay ;

I love to hear their pleasant song [ feel as glad as they.

The young lambs bleat and frisk about ; The bees hum round their hive ; 16 butterflies are coming out :

Tis good to be alive!

The trees that leok so stilf and grey, With green leaves now are hung ; ’ , ay Ye Oh. mother! let me laugh and play I cannot hold my tongue.

See, yonder bird spreads out his wings, And monnts the clear blue skies ; And hark, how merrily he sings, As far away he flies.

‘Co forth, my child, and laugh and play, And let your cheerful voice With birds, and brooks, and merry May,

Cry out, Rejoice, rejoice -

Tas Queen’s Family.

To but few women it is given to hold in their arms the grandchildren of their ewn daughters; but time has been moving apace during the last half cen- tury, and in the natural course of events the little Princess of Saxe-Meiningen is not the only great grandchildren her

Majesty is likely to welcome. Prince Frederick Willian: of Prussia, the Queen’s eldest grandson, is in_ his twenty-first year, and Prince Albert Victoria is in his sixteenth year. In

September last, before the sad calamity that befe'! the House of Ilesse-Darms- tadt her Majesty had no fewer than thirty grandchildren. One daughter and one son still remain unmarried ; but Prince Leopold is now in his twenty-seventh year, and the Princess Beatrice in her twenty-third, and, with- out any wish to anticipate the future, it

may safely be conjectured that neither |

Her |

will much longer remain single. subjects do not need to be reminded of the example the Queen has set as a wife and a mother. The happy inner life of the royal house was well known long before the royal diary was published, or the life cf the late Prince Consort given to the world. But it is yet diffi- cult to fully realize how completely happy and undisturbed has been the course of events in her Majesty’s family, and how uneeasing has been her care and love. Of nine children she has lost but one, and the Princesses who have lett Britain have been as popular among their new subjects, and are as dearly beloved by them, as are the brothers and sisters they have left in the Island of their birth. The little Princess who has just seen the light in Germany by two generations; but her birth will none the less be as welcome in Britain as in Saxony itself. The British royal house is now allied by marriage, in the persons of her Majesty’s sons and daughters, to the reigning honses of Russia, Germany and Denmark, and, as time moves, other such alliances must follow, in the next generation at any rate, if notin the present. Even ifwe are not among those who hold that royal unions do much to alter the course of history, or to consolidate the peace of Europe, we can yet be sure that they are not altogether without their influence—an influence which happily has of late been generaily wisely exercised.

CATARRHE. Gonstitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRHE.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Remedy.

T, J. B. Harprxa, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

DEAR Srr—It is now two years since your ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. 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 effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to be true.”

I was afflicted in my head for years before T 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 nad become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit up in 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 hea.

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, 1s
