. Long-Standing 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 qiuite so rapid as in others; but, with persistence, the result is certain, Read these testimonials : —

‘‘ For two years T suffered from a se- vere pain in my right side, and had other troubles caused by a torpid liver and dyspepsia. After giving several medicines a faic trial without a cure, I began to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I was greatly benefited by the first bottle, and after taking five bottles I was com- pletely cured.’’—John W. Benson, 70 Lawrence st., Lowell, Mass.

Last May a large carbuncle broke out onmy arm. The usual remedies had no effect and I was confined to my bed for eight weeks. A friend induced me to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Less than three bottles healed the sore. In all my expe- rience 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 afflicted, I presume the malady is hereditary. Last winter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina, Fla.,) recommended me to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year. For five months I took it daily. I have not 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. | did not notice it much at first, but it gradually grew worse until it became almost 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, after faithfully continuing the use of this medicine for some months, the pain disappeared and I was completely cured.””— Mrs. Augusta A. Furbush, liaverhill, Mass.

PECULIARITIES OF THE WEATHER.—A well-known citizen who returned last night from a trip through Nova Scotia informed a Sun reporter that last week he saw in Truro a bunch of full bloom Mayflowers, and in Port Maitland, Yarmouth Co., on Jan. 9th, he saw three farmers ploughing in their fields.

Recently seven Com- missions were given to Canada, and now we have the beginning of grumble here that these commissions should be so given when Canada pays nothing towards the mainten- ence of the British army, I venture, there- fore, to repeat that the Canadian officers give every satisfaction, and I am inclined to think we shall have more rather than few- er of them. vite Tue Campton Lirrex. — Newburyport, Mass., boasts of a second ‘‘Samson” named Charles J. Parker, who lifts a barrel of flour with one finger, and is said to have lifted a bar of iron with the same member 320 times in succession before a party of men, all of whose words are to be relied upon, even if one of the party is a newspaper man, He lifted a barrel of flour weighing 215 pounds with one finger last Saturday afternoon, and won $25, which is alleged to have been sent to him by one John Girard of this city, who claims the title of champion one finger lifter of the world, as he once lifted 286 pounds with one finger. It is said that ‘‘Samson” Parker does not know his full strength, but he does know that he has lifted over 600 pounds dead weight, jand he is confident in his ability to lift over 400 pounds with the largest finger on his right hand.— Boston Herald. abide SvuccessFuL IsLanpers.—Says the Pictou News: A gentleman passed through Pictou

Friendship.

I have a friend worth loving, Love him, yes, and let him know That I love him, ere life’s evening Fringe his brow with sunset glow. Why should good words ne’er be said Of a friend till he is dead,

If we hear a song that thrilis us, Sang by any child of song, Let us praise it. And not let the singer Wait deserved praises long. Why should one that thrills the heart Lack the joy we might impart.

lf we hear a prayer that moves us, By its humble, pleading tone, Let us join it. And not let the seeker Bow before his God alone. Why should not a dear friend share The strength of two or three in prayer.

If I could see the hot tears falling From a sorrowing dear friend’s eyes,

I would share them. And by sharing Own our friendship with the skies.

Why should any one be glad

When a dear friend’s heart is sad.

Let us scatter, then, our seeds of kindness, All enriching as they go;

Leavethem, And trust the Harvest Giver, He will make each seed to grow ;

So until its happy end,

Your life shall never lack a friend.

CHAPTER II. (Continued. )

While your priests were asking questions of speechless hearts; while your lords were nurs ing their love ofgease in the shade and per- fume of your palace; while your warriors, for getful of their glory, indulged the fancy that the new enemy were gods;; while Montezuma was watching stars, and studying omens, and listening to oracles which the gods know not, hoping for wisdom to be found nowhere as certainly asin his own royal instincts—face to face with the strangers in their very camp, { studied them, their customs, language and nature. Take heart, O King! Gods indeed ! Why, like men I have seen them hunger and thirst; like men heard them complain ; on the other hand, like men 1 have seen them feed and drink to surfeit, and heard them sing from gladness. What means their love of gold? If they come from the sun, where the dwellings of the gods, and the hills they are built on, are all of gold, why should they be seeking it here? Nor is that all. I listen- ed to the ,interpreter, through whom their leader explained his religion, and they are worshippers like us, only they adore a woman instead of a great heroic god—”’

‘* A woman !” exclaimed the king.

‘Nay, the argument is that they worship at all. Gods do not adore each other They had now walked some distance, and so absorbed had Montezuma been that he had not observed the direction they were pursu- ing. Emerging suddenly from a cypress. grove, he was surprised to find the path ter- minate in a smalllake, which, at any other time, wovld have excited admiration. Tall trees, draped to their topmost boughs in luxuriant vines, encircled the little expanse of water, and in its mist there island,

sear with me, O king,” said Guatamoain, observing his wonder. ‘I brought you here that you may absolutely convinced of the nature of our enemies, On that island I have an argument stronger than the vagaries of pabas or the fancies of warriors—a visible argument,”

He stepped into a canoe lying at the foot of the path, and, with asweep of the paddle, drove across to the island. Remaining there, he pushed the vessel back.

‘* Come over, O king, come over and gee.” Montezuma followed boldly, and was led to the kiosk The retreat was not one of fre- quent resort. Several times they were stopped by vines grown across the path. Inside the house the visitor had no lefsure for observa- tion; he was at once arrested by an object that filled him with terror. On a table was a human head, Squarely severed from the body, it stood upright on the base of the neck, looking, with its ghastly, white face, directly toward the entrance. The features were swollen and ferocious; the black brows locked in a frown, with which, as was plainly to be seen, nature had as much to do as death; the hair was short, and on the crown almost worn away; heavy, matted beard covered the cheeks and chin; finally, other means of iden- tification being wanted, the coarse, upturned mustache would have betrayed the Spaniard. Montezuma surveyed the head for some time; at length mastering his deep loathing, he ad vanced to the table.

** A teule,” he said, in a low voice.

‘“‘A man—only a man!” exclaimed Guata- mozin, so sternly that the monarch shrank as ifthe blue lips of the dead had spoken to him. “Ask yourself, Q king. Do the gods die?”

Montezuma smiled, either at alarm or at the ghastly argument. **W hence came the trophy!” he asked. ‘‘Have you not heard af the battle of Naughtlan ?”

“‘ Surely ; but tell its gain.”

** When the strangers marched to Tlascala,” the 'tzin began, “their chief left a garrison behind him in the town he founded. I was then on the coast. To convince the people, aud particularly the army, that they were men, I determined to attack them. An op- portunity soon occurred. Your tax-gatherers happening to visit, Nauhtlan, the townshi
