The body of a man was found ina small garret, where he had evidently died of starvation, having been too honest to steal, and too proud to beg.” Such was the paragraph which made me start up from my easy chair by the fire one April morning, and call out the name of my wife who was in the next room. ‘Mary, my dear!” The truth was, that morning I had} had a domestic grumble. My break- faust had not been quite to mg mind ; had grumbled at the cook, and when Mary had defended that absent femule,'T | turned upon her and said I did not know how it was she managed so badly with the house-keeping money. It was true we were not rich--but other men in my position had things better done. Well, I will spare myself, reader ; perhaps you know already whata man is like who has not enjoyed his break- fast and has a bad temper. And then I sat down,and reading my paper I saw the above paragraph. ‘flow unreasonable!’ I exclaimed. Kegs Wanted. LcNTILL BUYING. — H.

ARCHIBALD. ‘T have just been put out because I have not had quite all I wanted, while not forty miles from me a man—ay, and my countryman, too—has dicd of star- vation.’ But what brought it more forcibly to my mind was that my old chum, Can- field, was the vicar of this very parish, and moreover that I was going up to town to pay him a long-promised three- days’ visit. Mary entered as I looked up. Isaw there was a slight red tinge round her dear eyes. ‘Mary, | was a brute justnow! Of course you know it was all nothing, my breakfast was not all bad, and really, looking around, I don’t know any one who has such s comfortably managed home as l have. And how’s baby this morning dear?’ I forgot to ask. Mind you have a cup of nice hot coffee at eleven,'and don’t bother about my port- manteau, I will see tothat; and I shall only stay with Canfield two nights, my dear.’ I need not put in all the pretty things Mary said, having given my repentance | in full; but she was always the angel of our house. Somchow all the way up town that paragraph haunted me. I had thought so much of Canfield, and here he was letting a man starve under his very eyes in his own parish. I had not been long at the parsonage before I mentioned my story, though I added, half in apology for my tone of reproof : ‘Your house my dear fellow, doesn’t look very far from pauperism—no ¢ar- pets, no sofas no comforts. My own home was a2 palace in com. parison. ‘Ah, I saw that strange paragraph, too,’ he answered, in what I deemed a most unfeeling tone; and [ went on. ‘But it was in your parish. Really, Canfield, in old days you were more tender-hearted.’ He turned upon me with a fuce so full of unfathomable expression that I paused. ‘God knows, Dick, if I could I would lay down my life for the least of my flock! But I don’t knew them all—I can’t. What is a man todo with twelve thousand souls under his care? And as to money—well, you see I don’t waste it here, but all I can save is as a drop in the ocean, and hardly that even.’ He paused, and then he added, ‘ But I have left an hour free to receive you. Will you come withme? We will find the place where the poor man died. I have not had amoment before to spare from the living to seek out the dead.’ For the second time that day I was rebuked, and followed in silence ; but after hearing that man speak, and see- ing his life during those three days, I never afterwarjs accused him of iadif- ference. He was a very Moses plead- ing with God for his people. We passed through narrow streets, out of which went narrow passages, leading into alleys and courts still more dirty and stuffy—dens of wickedness they seemed to me. Canfield threaded his way to one still more crowded and squalid than the rest. ‘It must be here, I think,’ co said. ‘Come, Dick, follow me clo e; these people don’t care much aboui seeing yoyr fine clothes.’ Ile knew some of them, and spoke kindly and pleasantly to them, and so gently to the children that—was I pro- fune?—-there scemed to me something npostolic about the man. At last we stopped, and he asked which had been Mr. Beales’s house. A siatternly woman pointed two doors off, and we knocked. The door was opened by a rough- haired, bright-eyed girl of about six- teen; but there was nothing girl-like in her face, so knowing and cute was the. look she gave ur.

Hear what a Revercnd Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy. T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:— Dear Sir—It is now two years since your ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. 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 ha effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to true.”4 I was afflicted 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 sensation often preventing me from lying I would feel like smothe and be com 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 o 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 head, A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with ieave to make what use of it yon may see proper, Yours truly, W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister. Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878. Ask for Littlefield’s Constitutional Catarrh Remedy and take no other. T. J. B. Harpixe, Dominion Agent, Brock- ville, Ont.
