THE BEST QUALITIES.

Is desired and admired by all. Among the things which may best be done to enhance personal beauty is the daily use of Ayer’s Hair Vigor. No matter what the color of the hair, this prepa- ration gives it a lus- tre and pliancy that adds greatly to ita charm. Should the hair be thin, harsh, dry, or turning gray, Ayer’s Hair Vigor will restore’ the eolor, bring out a new growth, and } Fender the old soft and shiny. For keeping the scalp clean, cool, and healthy, there is no better preparation in the market.

“T am free to confess that a trial of Ayer’s Hair Vigor has convinced ‘me that it is a genuine article. Its use has not only caused the hair of my wife and daughter to be

Canapa’s MINERALS.—The value of Can- ada’s mineral products for 1858 is estimated at $14,239,136. Of this amount the coal pro- duct is placed at $6,108,429; gold, $1,145,780; iron, $1,287,000, and building stone, $600,- 000.

wislessiiitaidianl In a Foc.—There was a dense fog in Lon- don on New Year's Eve. Owing to the fog a collision occurred at Loughboro junction, and it is reported that many persons were in- jured. Every kind of traffic is delayed or suspended,

—— Customs CoLLecTIon.—'l'he customs collec- tions at Moncton last year were $377,501, an increase of nearly $20,000 over 1887. The exports of the year have been $293, 864. About a quarter of a million railway ties were shipped from Moncton, 26,540 tons rock laster and 14,675 barrels of calcine from Tillsboro. oe

A Harp Case.—A young woman visiting at the house of a very poor man near Sussex, N. B., was a few days ago suddenly attacked with fits and suffered intensely. A medical man was called in to administer to the suffer- er. He was called on to make a second visit, but it is saidhe :efused to go until some one could be found who would/become responsible for payment. Another doctor, however, was found, who went and helped the poor creature, iiiliiiiasli

Bie Price.—Senator Standford, of Wash- ington, has, we learn from a_ recent des- patch, sold his weanling colt, by Election- eer, out of Beautiful Bells, for $12,500. Messrs. Miller & Subley, of Franklin, Pa., were the purchasers. This is said to be the highest price ever paid for a weanling colt in America. The colt isa full brother to two that have beaten2.20 at three years old.

nocialiaainid Tue Prgnston List.—According to the New York Evening Post, the natidnal pension list was in 1872, $30,480,000 ; in 1880, $56,000, - |

000 ; last year, $80,000,000. Letussee! If

Canada were annexed to the republic, the citizens of this Dominion would be taxed nearly $8,000,000 annually to keep up this pension list. Would not this maintain a very efficient Canadian standing army, if a standing army were ever deemed necessary in this country.—Lz. -_--->--—--

THe Penirentiaries.—The report of penitentiaries for the fiscal year 1887 shows receipts from this source : Kingston, $650.88; St. Vincent de Paul, $78.25; British Columbia, $13.75. By order of the Minister of Justice, a fee of 22 cents is col- lected from all visitors to Canadian peni- tentiaries. This regulation applies to the Dorchester institution as well as the other penitentiaries throughout the Dominion.

——— Warp Five.—A meeting ot the electors of Ward Five was held in the factory of Messrs, Large & Son last evening. Retiring Council- lor McLean briefly addressed the meeting. He thanked the electors for their support in the past, and said that it was not his intention to contest the Ward this time. A unanimous vote of thanks was tendered him for his past services. Philip Large, Esq., and Henry Rackhem, Esq., were nominated to contest the ward at the forthcoming elecsion, each of whom had good support in the meeting.

Great Ramroap War.—One of the

ado commenced on the 28th, when the Rio Grande cut down its regular rate to Pueblo

inorder to accommodate the throng that wanted to attend a proposed sparring exhi- bition between Kilrain and his trainer, Mitchell. The two competing lines, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and Den- ver, Texas and Fort Worth, not to be out- done, cut their rates down to asimilar figure and ran special trains throughout the day. incindillinenniin Metuopist Saspatu Scnoor.—The annual meeting of the Second Methodist Sabbath School was held on Wednesday evening last, and was largely attended.

Gleanings From My Common-place Books.

EVIL SPEAKING,

1. He that speaks ill of another, com- monly before he is aware, makes himself such a one as he speaks against; for, if he had civility or breeding, he would forbear such kind of language.

2. A gallant man is above ill words. An

example we have in the old Lord Salisbury who was a great wise man. Stone had called some Lord about Court a fool ; the Lord <complains and has Stone whipped; Stone cries, ‘* I might have called my Lord Salisbury fool often enough, before he would have had me whipped.” + 3. Speak not ill of a great enemy, but rather give him good words, that he may use you the better, if you chance to fall inte his hands. The Spaniard did this when he was dying; his confessor told him; to work him to repentance, how the devil tormented the wicked that went to 1ell ; the Spaniard, replying, called the devil, my lord: ‘Il hope my lord the devil is not so cruel.” His confessor re- proved him. ‘‘Excuse me,” said the Don, ‘for calling him so; I know not into what hands I may fall; and if I happen into his I hope he will use me the better for giving him good words.” —John Seldon,

PROSPERITY AND ADVERSITY.

The virtue of prosperity is temperance ; the virtue of adversity is fortitude. Pros perity is the blessing of the Old Testament; adversity is the blessing of the New, which carrieth the greater benediction and the clearer revelation of God's favor. Yet even in the Old Testament, if you listen to David's harp, you shall hear as many hearselike airs as carols; and the pencil of the Holy Ghost hath labored more in de- scribing the afflictions of Job than the felicities of Solomon. Prosperity is not without many fears and disasters; and ad- versity is not without comforts and hopes. We seein needle-work and embroideries, it is more pleasing to have a lively work upon asad and solemn ground, than to have a dark and melancholy work upon a lightsome ground ; judge therefore of the pleasure of the heart by the pleasure of the eye. Certainly, virtue is like precious odors, most fragrant when they are in- censed or crushed: for prosperity doth best discover vice, but adversity doth best dis- eover virtue.—Lord Bacon SELF-MURDER, What torments are allotted those sad spirits, Who, groanivg with the burden of despair, No longer will endure the cares of life, But boldly set themselves at liberty, Through the dark caves of death to. wander ca, Like wilder’d travellers, without # guide; Eternal waves in the gloomy maze, When scarce the twilight of an infant morn, By a faint glimmering check’ring through the trees, Reflects to dismal view the walking ghosts, Who never hope to reach the blessed fields. —Nathaniel Lees Theodosius,

BOOKS.

It is vanity to persuade the world one hath much learning by getting a great library. Assoon shall Il believe every one is valiant that hath a well-furnished ar- moury. I guess good housekeeping by the smoking, not the number of the tunnels, as knowing that many of them (built merely for uniformity) are without chimneys, and more without fires. Some books are only curiosity to be tasted of; namely, first, vol- uminous books, the task of a man’s life to read them over ; secondly, auxiliary books, only to be referred to on occasions ; thirdly, such as are mere pieces of formality, so that if you look on them you look through them, and he that peeps through the case- ment of the index, sees as much as if he were in the house. But the laziness of those cannot be excused, who perfunctorily pass over authors of consequence and only trade in their tables and contents. These, like city cheaters, having gotten the names of all country gentlemen, make silly people be- lieve they have long lived in those places where they never were, and flourish with skill in those authors they never seriously studied..—_ Thomas Fuller.

COLUMBUS AND THE EGG. This oft-applied anecdote is thus related by Washington Irving, in his Life of Columbus. Pedro Gonzaler de Mendoza, the great cardinal of Spain, invited Colum bus to a banquet, where he assigned him the most honorable place at the table, and had him served with ceremonies which im thuse punctilious times were observed to- wards sovereigns. At this repast is said to have occurred the well-known incident of the egg. A shallow courtier present, im- patient of the honors paid to Columbus, and meanly jealous of him as a foreigner, abruptiy asked him whether he thought that, in case he had not discovered the Indies, there were not other men who would ave been capable of the enterprise. To this Columbus made no immediate answer; but, taking an egg, invited the company to Every one attempted it, but in vain; whereupon he struck it upon the table so as to break the end, and left it standing on the broken part; illustrating in this simple manner that when he had once shown the way to the New World nothing was easier than,to fol- low it. This anecdote rests on the author- ity of the Italian historian Benzonj.

DANGER OF TAKING THINGS FOR GRANTED.

It was objected to the system of Coper- nicus, when first brought forward, that if the earth turned on its axis, as he repre sented, a stone dropped from the summit of a tower would not fall at the foot of it, but a rreat distance to the west, in the same manner as a stone dropped from

the mast-head of a ship in full gail does not fall at the foot of the mast, but at the stern of the ship. Teo this
