We next meet this lady at a railway station very near the line separating the north from the south. All is hustle and noise and shouting of orders, and jostling and scolding and haranguing as at any other station when the customs officer is going through the trunks of unlucky travellers who do not one to have their best silks under everything else. or their good has in the farthest corner of the trunk. hiadame’s trunk is opened and a queer view meets the eye of the officer, silks and woolens, out out and partly made up into clothes and on top 0'5 all three lovely dolls.

Our readers are requested to contribute). Contributions From the Pens of Local Writers [Editor of “Student’s Corner.”] SIR,â€"-â€"In your issue of two weeks ago there appeared in this corner some quea- llons from Mr. Hutchison. He wanted to Know why the terms “John Bull,” “Uncle Sam” and “Tommy Atkins“ were applied as they are. Last week your Burnt River correspondent gave several reasons, but yet I would judge from those reasons, that he is still wondering. Now I do not know the meaning of all those terms, but I will give what I have reason to believe was the original “Tom' my Atkins.” ‘l E The fame of his exploit spread abroad. and among his companions it soon became customary to speak of any other brave fellow as a regular "Tommy Atkins.” which was the unfortunate sentry’s name. She turned off the main street and going a short way went into a drug store. kept by a kindly, middle-aged man. They greeted each other like old friends and she stated her request. A shade passed over the gentleman’s face and he thought a moment, then ushered her into a small room at the back, where, for some time. they were engaged in earnest conversation, which resulted in a request to return the next day at the same hour. The lady was evidently ona shopping tour, as she next visited a store where dolls of every kind were kept. She wanted dolls for three little girls for Xmas, she said, and picked three middle sized ones and had them pspered up and then left the store. Returning home she was met at the door by an old lady who evidently, from the likeness of the impression of the two faces, was her mother. The next task was the dressing of these dolls as pretty as deft figures could do it. This was all that could be done to-day. She must wait till to- marrow. At the appointed time she arrived at the druggiat’a and in a few minutes emerged from the store with two parcels, containing a white powder. Haatening home she proceeded to take the dolls to pieces and take the sawdust stuffing out. replacing it by the substance from the druggiet’e and sewing it up again quite the same as before. Then the dolls were dressed in all their finery and laid away in the trunk for their journey down south to the three little southern girls, the petted daughters of one of its famous generals. In the year 1857 upon the outbreak of the Sepoy Mutiny at Lucknow. a number of Europeans hastily quitted their houses and rushed to the Residency for protec- tion. On their way they passed a solitary sentinel of the 32nd Foot, to whom they represented the danger he ran. in not re- tiring with them. He, however, replied that he could not honorably quit his post unless duly relieved. A few moments later he fell beneath the irresistible rush of the mutineers. MINA KEYS My uncle had the honor of serving the republic to the south of us during the civil strife over the slave question, and he had many Interesting and pathetic tales which he loved to repeat. Although he wee fighting in the anti-slavery cause, he would tell stories of Southern bravery with as much zest as of the North. One story which I often heard hlm tell ran about as follows : While walking down the princlpa1 street of Philadelphia one cold, raw day, about the first of December. I met a woman, of striking appearance. She was tall and slender and of dark complexion and had the languid, yet dignified air, which those living in the south so often acquire. There was a certain distinction about her, it may have been her attire, or more probably the look in her dark, lustrous eyes, which made one look at her a second time.

' “I was troubled with sleeplessness, dizzi- ness, palpitation and neuralgia. for such a, long time that I had really given up hope of a. cure. Now, that others may learn of the virtues of this remedy, I give my unsolicited testimony. Mr. J. D. Robinson, a. resident of Dun- dee, Ont, has found these pills to do all that is claimed for them and made the following statement of his case: Gives His Honest Opinion of Milbum’s Heart and Nerve Pills.

MR. J. D. ROBINSON, DUN DAS, ONT., The writings of Penn Stanley are remarkable for the. sustained rhythm of the seniences, yet, in the. sense of music, he was as deficient as in the sense of smell. Archbishop Tait, the greatest archbishOp of Canterbury, since 'the latitudinarian Tilloisen. was. like his friend Stanley, totally deficient in any knowledge or appre- ciation of music, Whether vocal or instrumental. It was. therefore. a matter of much amusement 'to him- self and his friends when he was in- vited by 'the Prince of Wales 'to be a. speaker at. 'the great meeting: in St. James’ nalace 'to inautrura'te the Royal College of Music. The snecch. however. in which he classed himself with "certain unfortunate people who are deaf to music,” is said to have been a. marked success. notwith- standing 'that on enterincr the, hall he whispered to a friend tha't he never in his life felt so entirely at a. loss. Dr. Arnold of Rugby, the greatest schoolmaster of the nineteenth cen- tury, is another instance of a man of rare al-ility in Whom the musical faculty did not exist. 'I simply cannot conceive," he Writes, with reâ€" ference to music, “What to others is a keen source of pleasure; there is no link by which my mind can at- tach it ‘to itself; I can no more rem- edy it than some other men could enter into the deep delight with which I look at wood anemones or wood sorrel.” "Wild flowers," he used to say, ”are my music." Sir Walter Scott, while he had :v marvellous ear for verse and rhythm. had no ear for music. In his auto~ biography he 'tells us that. it wa: only after long practice that he acâ€" quin-d the poWer of even distinguish- ing,r melodies. In the “Life of John Sterling,“ Carlyle says that “all muâ€" sic was more impertincnt noise to him," and the same might probably be said of the sage of Chelsea. him- Self.

In the world of literature. where it. might, huVe been expected that, an appreciation of misic would co-exist with a. sense. of rhythm in language, this deficiency is especial- ly noticeable. Many literary men have been unmusical. Swift cared nothing for music. Dr. Johnson Was altogether insensible to it.

The funniest farce ever written could not be done at vaudeville houses if it had any of the earmarks of the thing in vogue at many of our first class the- aters. Said :1 lady to me: “They (the vaudeville theaters) are the only theaters in New York where I should feel absolutely safe in taking a. young girl without making prelimi- nary inquiries. Though they may of- fend the taste, they never otfend one’s sense of decency.” The vaudeville theaters may he said to have establish- ed the commercial value of decency. This is their cornerstone. They were conceived with the object of catering to ladies and children, and. strange to say. a large. it not the larger. part of their audiences is always men.â€" “Vaudeville Theater,” by Edwin Mll- ton Boyle. in Serihner’s.

HIS LITTLE GIRL WAS ATTACKED WITH HEART TROUBLE AND DOCTORS SAID SHE COULD NOT RECOVERâ€" â€"-The Bohcaygeon Independent: says: Mr. and Mrs. S. Crabtree of Bobeaygeon left on Monday for Spokane, Washington state, and their departure removes one of the oldest associations of the place. Mr. Crabtree has been a resident of Bobcay- geon for over 40 years, and leaves it now only on the Lurgent solicitation of his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Minthorne. For eleven years Mr. Crab- tree was mine hosts of the Rookeby house, and in those days, the excise duties being nominal, the quantity of strong drink that Was put away, would now be looked upon as marvellous. After disposing of the house to Mr. Snowdon, Mr. Crabtree returned to England, where he stayed for two years. and on coming back, builta comfortable DR. WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS HAVE MADE HER SOUND AND LIVBLY AS A CRICKET. me the Sun, Belleville, Ont. In a comfortable farm home in Sydney, near Bellevllle, lives Mr. T. W. Dox- tater, a prosperous farmer and most respected citizen. In this pleasant home the heart of a father and mother beats with gratitude to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, because they firmly believe they saved the life of their little daughter. A reporter of the Sun having heard of the case drove out to Mr. Doxtater’s for the purpose cf getting at the facts, and found ‘ both father and mother of the little girl very enthusiastic in their praise of the medicine that was unquestionably done somuch to relieve eufiering in this coun- try. Said Mr. Doxtater : "Yes, we'have good reason for praising Dr. Wiiliams‘ Pink Pills. Ithink they are worth ten times their weight in gold. When our little daughter Clara was about eight years old she was stricken with what the doctors said was heart trouble. Up to that time she had been a strong healthy child. The first symptoms shown were fainting spells, and these would attack her without a moment’s warning. We consulted a doctor, under whose care she i was for a time, but the treatment did her no goodâ€"in fact she was growing worse. Then we called in another doctor and he frankly told us that he could hold out but little hcpe for her recovery. By this time she was confined to bed, and for three months was as helpless as an infant. In some of the fainting spells she was attacked with convulsions. Her appetite seemed entirely gone and she was reduced to a living skeleton. At this time I read the particulars of a cure through the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, which gave me hope, and I determined that our little girl should try them. I first got one box, and when they were used she seemed brighter. Then I got five more boxes and by the time she had finished them she was as sound a child as you could find 3 in the neighborhood, bright and lively as f a cricket. She has been going to school for the past eighteen months, and has shown absolutely no symptoms of the old trouble. I attribute her cure entirely to ' he use of Dr. Williams' Pmk'lPills. and if anyone doubts the truth of this state- ment you can refer them either to myself or my wife.” â€"â€"A large deputation from Peterboro county, including Reeve O’Connor of Enuiemore township, Warden Foster and Reeve Anderson of Otonabee, Mayor Kendry and most of the members of Peterboro city council, waited on the Ontario government last week to ask for a grant towards the construction of a floating bridge over Lake Chemong. The Dominion government has guaranteed one-third of the cost. Peterboro has granted $4,000, while many of the town- ships will contribute towards the total amount, which is estimated at $30,000.
