A great many persons are troubled with pimples on the face, which are un sightly at best, and especially annoying when they come, as they often do, on the nose.

Another anecdote, bearing on the tem- perance riucstion, is as follows: â€" "John," said a clergyman to one of his parish- ioners, who had been in the habit of tarrying long at the wine, "John, I'm pleased to see you've got a nice new pig. t know you've been wanting to buy one for a lotig time. How did you manage it at last?" "Well, sir," said John, "\ guv up raakin' a pig of myself!" Hut the Dean's best tale is of a par- son who was in the habit of offering up the following prayer for Queen Adclnido: â€" "0 Lord, save thy servant, our sovereign lady, the QneenI Qrant thnt ns she grows an old woman she mny become a new man; strengthen her with thy blessing, that she may live a pure virgin, bringing forth sons and daughters to the glory of God; and give her grace, that she may go forth before her people like a he-goat on the moun- tains," Manuna â€" "Fighting again ? Why, a good little boy wouldn't hurt a hair of another boy's head." Johnny â€" "Well, I didn't I I just punched his nose."
