Kill or be kill’d, live or die, they shall know we are soldiers and men! : Ready! take aim at their leaders— their masses are gapp’d with our grape— Rackward they reel like the wave, like the wave flinging forward again, Flying and foul’d at the last by the handful they could not subdue ; And ever upon the topmast roof our banner of England blew. 7: * * * * a * Then on another wild morning, another wild earthquake out-tore Clean from our lines of defence ten or twelve good paces or more.

It is charg” He who lives in the country and has no asparagus bed has at least one heavy, sin of omission on his conscience for which be never can give an 1 nll 2 ha ‘ 2 as 6 ne ‘ j excuse. If the man who does ‘not pro par BAPTIST CHURCH PROPERTY, vide for his own house is worse than an infidel,’ he that will not ‘ bother’ with! be vacated, and is now offered for sale by an asparagus bed is anything but ortho- dox, and yet can not cali himself a rationalist. Some are under the delu- sion that an asparagus bed is an obtruse garden problem and an expensive lux- ury. Far from it. Tae plants of Con- over’s Colossal (the best variety) can be obtained of my seedsman at slight cost. , almost a daily supply from the middle of April till late in June, and I shall make another bed in this simple way: As early in April as the ground is dry enough—the sooner the better—I shall chose some warm, early, but deep seil, enrich it well, and then oa one side of the plot open a furrow or treach eight inchesdeep. Down this furrow I shall seatter a heavy coat of rotted compost, and then rana plough or pointed hoe through itagain. By this process the earth and compost are mingled, and the furrow rendered about six inches deep. Along its side, ove foot apart, I will place one-year-old plants, spreading out the roots,and taking care to keep the crown or top of the plan’ five inch- es below the surface when iv |; then half fill the furrow over the pi. =. and when the young shodts-are wel: u,>, vill the furrow even. I shall make the fur- rows two feet apart, and after planting as much space as 1 wish. the bed is mado for the next {fy years. Io my father’s garden there was a good lei over fifty years old. The young :hoots should not be cut up, and erly sparingly the third year, on the same principle that we do not put young coltsat work. The as- parayas is a marine plavt, and dustings f sult sufficient to kill the weeds will rmote its growth, a ¢ ; lend, bat terminates it; who calls a house leality ; and things do not happen buat I have one large bed that yields!

It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe rcsort to the use of ordinary plasters. Dr. MELVIN’s Carstcom 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 kind. Al) other plasiers are slow of action. and require to be worn continually to effect acure; but with these it is entirety dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect. Physiciansin all ages have thoronghly tested and well know the effeet of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELvVIN’s CApsicUM . Porous PLAsTrERs, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and hack. 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 a certain eure. ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisoncus material commonly used in the manutacture ef ordin- ary plasters.
