- “3 The Old Couple. |
They sat iu the sun together, ‘dill the day was almost done, And then, at the close, an angel Stepped over the threshoid alone.
He folded t.eir hands together, He touched their eyelius with balm ; And their Jast breath floated upward Like the close of a solemm psalm,
Like a bridal party they traverse The unseon mystical road
That leads to the beautiful city Whose builder and maker is God.
Perhaps in this miracle country, They will give her lost youth back,
And the flowers of a banished springtime Shail bloom in the spirit’s track.
One draught of the living waters Shalirestore His manhood’s prime, And eternal years shal! measure The love that oatlives time.
But the shape they left behind them, — The wrinkles and silver hair— Made sacred to us by the kisses The angel imprinted there.
We'll hide away in the meadow, When the sun is low in the west ;
Where mvonbeams cannot find them, Nor the winds disturb their rest.
But we'll let no tell tale tombstone, With its age and date, arise
O’er the two whw are old no longer— In their Father’s house in the skies.
Story of a Plum. Pudding.
The following stury was told of a ¥ inkee vessel captain aud his mate:— Whenever there wea a plum-pudding made, by the exptuia’s orders ali of the p'ums were put into one end of it, an that ead placed next to the captaix, whe, after helpiug him.eit, passed it to th: mate, who uever fouod any plums in hi>
artof it. Well, after the game had
o played for some time, the mate pre- v iled oa the steward to place the eng which had no plums io it next to the @sptuiv. The captaiv no sooner saw the pudding than he saw he bad the wrong eod of it. Picking up the dish, and turning it his hands, as if merely ex- amipg the china, he said “This dish cost me two -hilliogs in Liverpool,” and set it down again, as though without desigo, with the plum end pext to himself. “I- i; possibie ?” ssid the mate; “I shouldo’t suppose that it was worth more than « shiliing.’’ aod, us if io perfect invocence, he put down the dish with the plum end next to himself. The captain looked at the m.te, and the mate looked at tne captain. The captain laughed, the mate laughed. “1 tell you what, young one,” said the cuptain, ‘you've fuund me . ut, so we'l, just cul the pudding length-wise this time, und have the plums fairly di-- tributed herexfter.”’
Re A Silent Man.
The career of a silent man is outlined with such seriousness and vraisemblance by The Syracuse Standard that the story ought tobe true. Here it is:—Ashel P. Toman, who died in Utica a few days ago, had ut-ered scarcely a word tor more than halfacentury. He was not dumb ; he cvuid talk well enough ; but ha became convinced at an early stage of his life that more harm than gvod was wrought by epeech, and remained true to his priuciples ever after. When hi« first child was born he rode seven miles i» quest of a phy- sician. He earried lite and pee’, Wrote a stutement of the situation, re- turned with tie medicine man, and re- eeived the aanouncement of his parental responsibilities ia silence. His wife, who survives him, siys that no woman ever had a kinderhusbaod. The relations be- tween the couple were always pleasant. aod Mrs. Inman hus remarked to her téighbors : ‘If Ashel talked as much as I do, the Lord koows what might happen.’ Some of bis written replies to the ques- tiens of acquaintances who were curious to know why he preferred silence to speech are worthy of mentioo: Our retort was: “A good listner is to be preferred to a pour talker.’ Another was: ‘i want to pre that » m:o eva be happy and hold
s tongue.” -[ am tying to think of something good eucugh to sey out loud.’ Acciergymou ouce acked Louse whether he didn’t think the Lord gave hiw bis tongue to be used. The pencilied reply was; ‘ Phe Lord gaveme a mind that tells me when to use my tongue,’ Lo 1842, while he was travelling with his wife io a stage batweeo Syrscuee aud Rochesror, the vehicle was halted ip front of a.small country tavern, A child waysleeping on the poreh. Loman, looking out, saw a lage black--uake crawl to the side of the fofant. Grasping his wife’s arm,. he ghou:ed: “See!” and, poistivg to the snake sprang trom the stage, pursued the reptile some distance, and fivully killed it He left a suog fortune, which his son inherits. His last written message was : Silence is golden,” His oft-pencilled ad- menition to his son was: “Keep your’ mouth shut.’
, Young lady, very mach shocked: “Qh, ma, did you wotice that insulting puppy that passed us? I looked at the wretch till he got away out of sight, and he had
un pudevce to sture at me, the horrid
t ; and just as he turned the =
actually lifted his hat and bowed !"

The Greatest Medical Diseovery since the Creation of Man, or since the
Commencement of the Christian Era.
There never has heen a time when the heal- 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 Capsicum Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them,
T. J. B. Harprixe, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:— DEAR Sir—It is. now two years since your} ‘Constitutional Catarrh Remedy ’ was intro- duced to me. 1 have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent betore 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 I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular ] saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward ‘drop’ from the head had 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, 1 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 I have taken some for a cold in my head, A sense of duty to sutferers 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. Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878.
