Blood Diseases are cured by the persevering use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. This medicine is an Alterative, and causes a radical change in the system. The process, in some cases, may not be guite so rapid as in others; but, with “persistence, the result is certain. itevad these testimonials :— “For two years T suffered from a se- vere pain in my right side, and had other troubles caused by @ torpid liver aud Gyspepsia. <After.giving several inedicines a fair trial without a cure, I began to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. E was greatly benefited by the first bottle, and after taking five bottles I was com- pletely cured.’?>—John W. Benson, 70 7-awrence st., Lowell, Mass. _. Last May a large carbuncle broke out »Pumy arm. The usual remedies had no effect and [ was confined to my bed for eight weeks. A friend induced me to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilia. Less than threo aapertics healed the sore. In all my expe- lence with medicine, I never saw more Wonderful Results. Another marked effect of the use of this medicine was the strengthening of my sight.’”—Mrs. Carrie Adams, Holly Springs, Texas. “T had a dry scaly humor for years, and suffered terribly ; and, as my broth- er and sister were similarly aftlicted, I presume the malady is hereditary. Last Minter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina, Fla.,) recommended me to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year. #or five months I took it daily. I have hot had a blemish upon my body for the last three months.”—T. E. Wiley, 146 Chambers st., New York City. ** Last fall and winter I was troubled With a dull, heavy pain in my side. I did not notice it much at first, but it gradually grew worse until it became alinost unbearable. During the latter part of this time, disorders of the stom- ach and liver increased my troubles. I began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and, afer faithfully continuing the use of this medicine for some months, the pain disappeared and I was completely eured.’”’— Mrs, Augusta A.

SUMMARY OF MR. F, W. L. MOORE'S EXCEL- LENT PAPER—WHAT OF THE FUTURE ! THE most significant feature of the ex- cellent essay read last evening by Mr. F. W. L. Moore, beiore the Literary and ‘Scientific Institute, was that im which our present unexampled freedom was shown to be a result of the continuous labors and fightings of cur courageous forefathers, a along the ages. It is wel! to be reminded , themselves, | _ How this is tobe done, is the great ques- i tlon of the day; ; } change muss be effected. {their conse* ‘ i | Act, gave u, & question that cannet be settled off-hand, but must grow and develop, a8 we haveseen the other part of our consti- tution «>: Our nada, it seems to me, set an example in the year 1867, of the way in which the The Provinces by the British North America ‘heir control over all those sub- | jects, which it was essential should be regu- lated by the Dominion Parliament, if the Federacy was to work harmoniously. in the same way, if we are to have a Fed- that ‘‘eternal vigilance is the price of!eration of the Empire, there might be a cen- lore couneil established, representing all parts liberty,” and that the lesson is taught on every page of British history. of the nation, and which shall regulate a'l | Apart from this must important consi-|™matters regarding her defence, foreign rela- deration, it is Ve ry interesting to tracc the j tions, peace, good order, trade and commerce, evolution of the Eng | Than the Christian religion, there is for us /n0 other subjectof study more sacred orven- erable. As Mr. Mvore very well said, ‘* its growth has beeu slow, and its origin is and ever will be shrouded in the mystery of the past.” We have, however, standing ground sufticiently sure in the Saxon Law. Among the most remarkable of these, said (Mr. Moore, were :— | **(1).The institution of Parliaments or assemblies of the chief men of the mation, called the W.tanagemots, without whose concurrence no law could be made. **(2) The election by the people of their own imagistrates—originally even that of their kings, until they had learned by dear bought experience the convenience of a ‘constant hereditary succession. ‘**(3) The descent of the Crown, when once a reyal famlly was established, upon 'very much the same principles on which it has ever since continued. **(4) The invention, as claimed by some, of what Blacksione calls ‘that admirable criterion of truth and most important guar- dian, both of public and private liberty— the triai by jury.’”’ ' The Norman conquest and the Feudal system supervened; and despotism held ‘sway for a time. But the people ‘chafed and fretted under the oppressions ‘and exactions of the Norman kings. Their ‘instinct of liberty was strong. The Barons, | backed by their tenants, made good use of the opportunity affurded in the necessities oi the weak and cowardly King John: ‘they wrung from his unwiliiag hand the ‘Great Charter of English liberty. Mr. : Moure showed that ‘‘the essential clauses i of Magna Charta are those which protect the personal liberty and property of all} freemen, by giving security from arbitrary imprisoament and arbitrary spoliation.” |‘* Another point secured by the Charter ,was the fixing of the Court of Common | Pleasat Westminster. This Court had for- merly travelled around with the King’s person; and to its establishment at West- ‘minster, says Mr. Hallam, we owe the ‘uniformity of our common law.” ‘** There | was also a clause directed against the exac- ‘tion of unjust taxes. So greatly was this Charter prized by the people that, as Coke ‘records, it was thirty-two times confirmed | by the Kings of England as a condition on | which moneys for their use were granted. 'In the reign of Henry III. it was enacted jthat the King should levy no manner of taxes, ‘** but by the common consent of the realm and for the common profit thereof.” Inthe same reign, knights and citizens were elected as representatives of the coun- ties and cities and boroughs of England—all ireeholders laving the right to vote. This was practically ‘* the origin of popular re- presention.” In the reign of Edward UL. these principles were firmly established: (1) The illegality of raising money with- vut consent. (2) the necessity of the conecur- rence of the two Houses for alterations of the law. (3) the right of the Commons to enquire into public abuses and to impeach public counseliors. Under Henry Vi. Bills were first submitted to Parliament, and the freedom of the bodies of members from ar- rest while attending Parliament, except for treason, felony or a breach of ihe peace, was firmly established. Mr. Moore re- \ferred tothe right of trial by jury, the Habeas Corpus Act and other distinctive features of the English constitution. He quoted the words of Biackstone who ; hold or representing encumbrances thereon or | declares of Englishmen that ‘‘The protec- tion of the liberty of Britain is a duty which they owe to themselves who enjoy it, to their ancestors who transmitted it down, their hands this the best birthright and noblest inheritance of mankind.” In con- clusion he said : **Has England now arrived at the highest point of all her greatness, from which she must quickly iall away ? Has she become so unwicldy, by the growth of colonies in all quarters of the globe, that she can no longer remain one undivided nation ? ‘ Is there s ich a conflict between the interests of her different parts, that she must be torn to pieces by internal quarrels? , God forbid that these questions should be answered in the affirmative. I take a more hepeful view of the situation. No doubt, the machinery of government i must be altered to sutt the changing state of , affairs. When the Colonies were given their present _systems of responsible government, they were ‘small struggling communities, and had so much to occupy them in the endeavor to im- | prove their own position, that they took little ‘interest in the foreign policy of the Empire, 'and were given no voice in the gencral council , of the nation. , their present size and wealth, and still more . ss . ‘in years to come, when some of them will ex- ceed in population and opuleace tl Laid herself, itis ridiculous to think that/| year. i they will be content to goon in the old rut, ;minding their home affairs and letting Old! ' - . ;their disputes, | scrapes | No! ‘There is general feeling, both in Eng. jate habits. ' lish Constitution, | Matters merely local must continue to be }governed by the Provincial Legislatures; mat- jters of interest to and affecting a group of j Provinces, such as Canada, might still be leit under the control of an Assembly rep) esenting that group, corresponding to our Dominion Parliament at Ottawa. Elements of opposition to Imperiel federa- tion there are, and will be. Local, jealousies, and the small.souledness of place-seeking politicians may retard its progress for a time; but, backed up by the will of a free born people, it is bound te come. We hear some say, ‘“‘ Imperial Federation is a sentiment; and when a people’s sentiments come into conflict with the interests of its pocket—-with its power of bread and butter earning—they go to the wall.” That this is always so, I deny. History shows us many instances of nations that, in pursuit of a mere feeling or idea, have gone in direct opposition to their material interests; and it is very questionable to my mind whether, supposing annexation to the United States to be the most immediately beneficial course for Canada to pursue, our loyal Canadians would be willing, for the sake of filthy lucre, to cut the sacred tie that binds them to their past and to all that is great and good in the asso- ciations and history of their motherland, especially when they see the result of the severance of that connection on the character of our southern neighbors, in making them the blatant, vulgar, boasting demagogues we see they are, for the most part, even now, after having a hundred years to eut their wisdom teeth. But Impccial Federation is not a mere sentiment. It is the outeome of the in- stinct of self preservation, the strongest rrotive that can move a nation, as it is the most powerful that can influeuce an individual, and if the Empire once sees that its safety de- peads on a closer union of its parts, there is no power on earth that shall prevent it. We have seen this English Constitution a success imthe land of its growth. We have seen it a success, transplanted into her self-governing Colonies, We have seen it a success in groups of Federated Colonies. Shall we net see it triumphant in a confeder- ated Empire. This is the sentiment so well expressed in and to their posterity who will claim at}. the lines of our Canadian poet, Mr. Talon Le- sperance ;— Shall he break the plight of youth, And pledge us to an alien love ? No! We hold our faith and truth, Trusting to the God above ! Stand, Canadians, firmly stand, Round the flag of Fatherlaad ! Britain bore us in her flank, britain nursed us at our birth, Britain reared us to oar rank, "Mid the nations of the earth.

Weeks, Jr., John Newson, Donald McKenzie, Peter McCourt, Dr. Leeming, George E. Full and other gentlemen—all of whom warmly complimented Mr. Moore on the excellence of his paper.
