St. Andrew's Day.

{RY STEPHEN M SLOGAN. J

day of greeting!

Hands are clasp’d, and hearts are beating ' Scots in every clime are meeting !

Meeting as they met of yore; Through the snow-drift, o’er the heather, See! they wend their way together;

of wind, or wave or weather,

Scots shall meet on every shore; Be it so for evermore.

Day of gladness!

Spite

Meet—but sot im battle gory, As in ancient Scottish story, Clan with clan, for gain or glory, In the days of the Claymore : Scotia’s mountains rent asunder By the warring clansmen’s thunder, As if hell had open’d under, Shaking kingdoms with her roar ! Be it thus, O—nevermore !

Yet, should trump of battle, pealing, Wake the ancient martial feeling, Who'd be foremost then, in dealing Death around them and before? Let the eagle spread his pinion Over fiend or over Fegian,— — Up! we'll fight for our Dominion As our tathers fought of yore‘ Fight, and save it evermore!

Fill a glass to overflowing _ ‘To the Nation that is growing From Atlantic to the glowing

Wave of the Pacitic shore ! Truth and Honor be her booty in the battle day of duty; Vigor, valor, virtue, beauty

te her dower evermore }

Heritage for evermore }

Sons of Erin! Albin] never May the golden bonds dissever, {hat should make us one forever On this bleak Canadian‘shore ! Shamrock wreathe and Rose together, With the Maple leaf and Heather ! Storm, or strife, or wind, or weather, ‘Yhen shall part us nevermore ! Part us never, nevermore.

~ Household Hints.

k Steamed Pudding.—To be steamed two

%; Var half or three hours :—Onc cupful mol-

and a asses, one cupful sweet milk, two cupfuls ter, four cuptuls flour, one teaspoonful soda, three-quarters cupful fruit; spice to suit the aste; to be eaten with sour sauce,

Boston Brown Bread. —Three.and three- quarter cupfuls Indian corn-meal, two and a half cupfuls rye-meal, two-thirds cupful molasses, one quart of either sweet or sour milk ;*steam in a tin pudding - boiler for tive hours, then take off the cover and set it in the oven to remain till morning.

To Remove Spots of Blacking from Carpete.

Spots of blacking may be taken from carpets with a mixture of ounce of powdered borax, dissolved in one quart of boiling water and's small piece of soap, about the size of a walnut, cut fine and dissolved with the borax, bottle this up, and use to take spots from carpets or elothes,

Corning Beef.-——For 100 pounds of beef take seven pounds of salt, two pounds sugar,-two ounces saltpetre, two ounces pepper, two ounces soda; dissolve in two and a lons water; boil, skim, and let cool; when a

scum rises after a few weeks scald the brine).

over, and by so doing, and keeping the -meat entirely covered with brine, it will keep # year and more.—N. Y. Times.

To Renovate Black Cloth.—Clean the cloth from grease and dirt with the following mix- ture thoroughly dissolved: Aqua ammonia, two ounces; soit water, one quart ; saltpetre, one teaspoonful; shaving soap in shavings, one ounce. Then, when dry, make a strong decoction of logwood by boiling the extract in a gallon of soft water; strain, and when. cool add two ounces of pulverized gum arabic ; ap-

ly evenly with a sponge over the surface, and ne in the shade; when thoroughly dry, brush the nap of the cloth down smooth, and it will look fas good as new. Keep the liquid tightly corked in a bottle.

Roast Turkey. —See that the turkey is well cleansed and washed. Fora good-sized fowl, take a small loaf of stale home-made bread ; cut in slices and rub it fine. Putim a skillet one teacup of butter ; slice into it a large white onion ; let it cook a few moments, but do not brown ; then add one teaspoon of salt, one of

ppef, or more, if liked; then stir in the tases add a few spoonfuls of good cream, un- til it is moist but not thin. Salt and pepper the inside of the turkey, and then fill. Wath a needle and thread sew the skin together at the openings, being careful to take the stitches deep enough to prevent tearing out; pull the skin over the neckbone and tie firmly. Truss the turkey into shape, lay it in the, dripping- pan, and put into a brisk oven, without any water in the pen. Tie a piece of good butter into a.soft thin cloth, and rub over the fowl frequently while roasting. A year-old bird will require three hours’ cooking. Have the oven moderate the last half of the time.

A sturdy vagabond, with full black beard of unusual length, was recently brought before a London Magistrate, who questioned him about his past life.

‘* If one can believe all that is laid to your charge,” said the Judge, solemnly, ‘‘your con- science must be as black as your "

‘* Ah,” replied the wily rogue, “if a man’s conscience is to be menearee by his, beard, then your Lordship has no conscience at all.”

There is an association of bank clerks in New York, comprising over 1,000 members, Some died last year and their families received §1,- 000 each from the funds. At the annual meet- ing of the Society the other day, the President of the Shoe and Leather Bank acted as Chair- man, and he paid a high tribute to this clasa of p2rsons for their integrity. Many of them, he said, had as much as $500,000 a day in their

Fellows’ Compound Syrup is composed of Ingrediants identical with those which consti- tute Healthy Blood, Muscle and Nerve and Brain Substance, whilst Life itself is directly dependant upon some of them.

By its union with the blood and its effect upon the muscles, re-establishing the one and toning the other, it is capable of effecting the following results :—

It will displace or wash out tuberculous matter, and thus cure Consumption.

By increasing Nervous and Muscular Vigor, it will cure Dyspepsia, feeble or interrupted action of the Heart and Palpitation, Weakness ef Intellect caused by grief, weary, overtax or irregular, habits, Bronchitis, Acute or Chronic, Congestion of the Lungs, even in the most alarming stages.

It cures Asthma, Loss of Voice, Neuralgia, St. Vitus» Dance, Epileptic Fits, Whoop Cough, Nervousness, and is a most wondertet adjunct to other remedies in sustaining life during. the process of Diptheria.

Do not be “deceived by remedies bearing a similar nate ; nd other preparation is a substi- tute for this under any circumstances.

OUR NEW STUDIO,

we would inform them that we have now

first-class work, and are prepared to make PnotocraPpus ofa Slyle and Qualily that. has never been before allempled in this City. We-bave on exhibition, at our Rooms, a large number of Photograps of every variety, including the

BEAUTIFUL PHOTO - ENAMEL

he most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessivg a softness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. Thisselegant picture has become deservedly popu'ar elsewhere, and cannot fail to be- come so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct altten- tion to the beautitul é'

Glace’ Pictures

which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, end will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet. ‘This valuable quality, com- bined with their remarkable ‘legance, Make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons can| have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere. We give special attention to muaking Groups of Families, Societies, Schools, &c Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of our success in this difficult bran¢h 6f our art.

Our FNLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Crayon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a favorable reputation for them selyes throughout the Lower Provinces. Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our customers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our silters come by appointment. Photographs can be obtained for less money elsewhere ; but in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as-'

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused 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 Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have ysed them, to act quicker than any other pistes they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel ita effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect 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- tease in & porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLasteRs, 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 back, and all such cases ag have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and

u want acertain cure, ask your druggist for

“Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects, Although powerful and

uick in its action, you can rely on its safety or the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous materia) commonly used in the manufacture of ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of ita merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds

to your friends, ak your druggist for Dr, MELVIN’s CAPstI-

- cum Porovs Plaster, and take no Other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozén, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
