SELECTIONS. Nature ever prints Her own bright seal on that which we allure From her unguarded keeping, drop-1 ping hints Whereby we track her labyrinthine ways Back to some splendid secret that repays Life sacrificed, with life that shall en dure. — Picture of St. John. We ought always to act on the ideal —it is the oniy safe ground of action. —McDonald. THERE are many of us willing to stand any amount of persecution about trifles; the same enthusiasm directed by high thoughts about the kingdom of Heaven, as within men and not around them, would redeem a vast region. — McDonald. llmn moral and high social can do anything. It is the betwixt and be tween that must be careful. Whitney. THERE are a great many pretty pieces of life, if you only know about j tiiera.

Suppose the sun said, "I have shone; 1 shall not rise to-mor row." Imagine the stars in their beauty saying, "We have for so long a time shot our golden arrows through the darkness, we will now retire for ever." 1 What if the air should refuse ; to give us breath, or the water should i no longer ripple in its channels, or it all nature should stand still because j of what it once did—what death and ruiu would there be!

A YOUNG married lady is the sensa tion in social circles in England just now. She is a Hindoo, from Madras, who, although belonging to a high caste, has ventured not only to cross the ocean but to mix freely in London society and to conform generally to the social customs of the country. Accompanied by her husband, she has visited the chief objects of inte rest in the metropolis and in several of our provincial cities. She is the first Hindoo lady who lias broken through the barriers of prejudice and caste in order to visit England.

For Diseases of the Throat and Langs, such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma and Consumption. Among the great discoveries of modern science, few are of more real value to mankind than this effective reinedv for ali diseases of the throat aud iungs. A va-l trial of its virtues, throughout this and other countries, has shown mat it does surely and effectually control them. The testimony of our best citizens of ail classes establishes the fact that Cherry Pectoral will and does relieve and cure tiie afflicting disorders of the throat and lungs be \ond any other medicine. The most dangerous affection's of the pulmonary organs yield to its power, and eases of consumption cured by this preparation aro publicly known, so remarkable as ! hardly to be believed w ere they not proven leyoud ! dispute. As a remedy it is adequate, on which the i public may rely for "full protection. By curing i coughs, the forerunners of more serious disease, j it saves unnumbered lives and au amount of suf- ; ' feritig nut to be computed. It challenges trial and ; I convinces the most sceptical. Every family should keep it oil hand as a protection against the early I and uuperceived attacks of pulmonary affections, J which are easily met at urst but which become 111- ; curable and ton often fatal if neglected. Tender j lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to be i without it. As a safeguard to children, amid 'he ! ! distressing diseases which beset the throat and ( , . nest of childhood. Cherry Pectoral is iuvaluabl j for by :t - timely ue multitudes are rescued from • premature graves and saved to the love and affec- ! lion centred on them. It acts speedily and surely ■ against ordinary colds, securing sound and health- j restoring sleep." No one will suffer troublesome i Influenza and painful bronchitis, when they know how easily they can be cured. Originally the product of long, laborious and sue- i cessful chemical investigation, no cost or toil is spared in making every bottle in the utmost pos- : sible aerfection. It may conildently be relied ui>- ob as possessing ah the virtues it has ever exhib ited aud capable of producing cures as memorable as the greatest it has ever effected. PREPARED BT DE. J. C.

It soou re- j stores faded or grav hair to its original color, with i , the gl"-,s and freshness of youth. Thin hair is \ thh-kened, fallen hair checked, and baldness often j I though nor always - lire-1 by its use. Nothing can i r- store the hair where the follicles are destroyed : or the glands atrophied and decayed: but such as i : fdbiaiii can be saved by this application, and j ! stimulated Into activity, so that a new growth of j j itair is produced. lustead of fouling the hair with ■ a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigor ous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning grey or lulling off, and consequently pre -1 vent baldness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the forma tion of dandruff, which is often so uncleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substan ces which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only ben efit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR, DRESSING, nothing else can be iuuud so : desirable.

We ean assure our old patrons that it is kept fully up to its high standard; and it is the only reliable and perfected preparation for restor ing GRAY or FADED HAIR to its youthful color, making it soft, lustrous aud silken. The scalp, by I its U!, e, becomes wh-e and clean.

By its use, | the hgir grows thicker and stronger. In baldness : it restores the capillary glands to their normal vigor, and will create a new growth, except in ex treme old age. It is the most economical lIAIK DRESSING ever used, as it requires fewer appli cations, ami gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap pearance. A. A. Hayes, M.
