If VEGE TINE will relieve pain, cleanse, purify, anOd cure such disease, restoring the patient to perfect health, after trying different phy sicians, many remedies, sutfering for years, is it not conclusive proof, if you are a su ferer, you can be cured ? Why is this med icine performing such great cures? It works in the blood, in the circulating fluid. It can truly be called the Great-Blood Pari tier. T11e great source of disease originates in the blood; and no paedicine that does not act directly upon it, t6 purify and renovate, has any just claim upon publia attention.

Our love was wide as skies above, For lovers ne'er can love by halves; Our love was likest to the love Of calves. rhat day was sweet-ah! not like this Yea, sweeter than the fabled honey; rhe one sad thought that spoilt our bliss Was money. We thought thereon, our hearts grew sad, Our fates we vainly execrated; D Time, that changest all, J'rq glad I waited I For now, Belinda Jane, I'm bald, And thou'ri an aged inaiden lady; rhine age that side of fifty called The 5hady.

"THE IGIEST MAN O " -r--o -- Sim Hawkins was one of the most positive men that ever made n assertion and stuck to it. A pan like that invariably acquires a reputation. Sim had a number ne reputation of its clasr--that f being a very disagreeable man. A.t first, one would think that Sim had no need to cultivate such a reputation. Nature had not been at pains to endow him with such beauty as to compensate for a sin gle dross grain. In features, com plexion, figure and voice, the man bad little to recommend him. If be had been governed by policy be would have played the agree ble. On the contrary, as I have aid, he was as positive and dis greeable as any that ever ad bered to his convictions. Then,to make the matter worse, Lhe world in-mediately fell into an error-natural enough, never theless a great error-that of im put .g heartlessness to the cap Lain, who was as bravo a man as ever lived, and as tender-hearted. However, whben the failings of the captain were capped with the pub lic error, there was no end "df inis takes, as is invariably the case where two errors meet. The truth was, a more kindly or affectionate heart never throb bed than Captain Sim Hawkins'. Although his complexion was a compromise between snuff color and saffron, his figure slightly podgy and motions positively awk ward, his nose entirely ou.t of keeping with the rest of his fea tu-es (a nose that threatenefl, challenged gn4 spQrfled the world) and his voice as harsh as a rag machine or the sepulchral tone assumed by the thousand imita tors of Captain OCattle's adviser, Jack Bnsy, the captain was as true as steel and as brave as a lion. Withal, the captain was quiet, reserved and shy in the presence of the fair sex. Proof: he boarded in the same house and roomed on the same floor with the Widow Mordang:gn4 never addressed a word4 to her in two months. Then the subject was butter, began and stopped with a sort ofecross speech to the servant, and an apology to the widow for interposing in be half of her child. Imagine, if you can, the gallant Captain Sim's feelings upon hear ing himselfsp'oken of in this man ner by the beautiful widow one day; "Oscar, my dear, what makes you go into Captain Hawkins' room so often ?" "Because he is such a jolly fel low, mother. When I'm a man, I'll wear whiskers like Captain lawkins, and make my voice as rough as ever J can, too." "You silly child; that ugly Cap tain IIawkins! Ifyou must imitate somebody, pattern after an agree able man. I never met a more disagreeable man than Captain Hawkins in my life." The captain was pacing the piazza at that moment. I[ will do the lady justice to say that had she known he was within hear ing she would have bit her tongue before uttering such a speech. Ac for the captain, he shrugged hib shoulders, while his checks tool on a deeper saffron tint, if pos sible. That same evening Mrs. Mor dant was promenading with hei son, a child of four, and as heed less as four-years-old's are, wher a runaway carriage came dashinq round the corner of the main ave nue. The frenzied horses' feel made the fire fly from the pave ment. There was a cry of"horror when a sudden and awful hush Fell upon the spectators, whc Lrtrned their heals aside to avoic witnessing what spmod inevita. ble. Oscar Mordant had with thc restiveness of his age, darted .Lcross the street. The crash of Lhe flying horses' hoofs frightened Ihim ; he paused, then turned, with % cry, to his mother, who was ipringing forward, when suddenly she opened her eyes again, the Ca:-riage was standing still, the horses champed their bits angri ly, while at her feet nestled her darling boy, not a hair of his curly head harmed. ".emarkable presence of rind," said QnP. "And such nerve-rextr4ordinary nerve," said another. "Then he must possess mar. iellous strength to sqch a thing,' added a third. "And he is as quick as light ning." "The bravest, coolest thing I ever witnessed." As the Widow Mordant listened and lifted -a hand to her temple the truth dawned upon herslowly It was to that ugly Captain Haw kins she qvVed the child's life. A week later Qenerql fooker was attending the wedding of the daughter of an old-time friend The gallant general was the herc of the hour. The Widow Mor dant was purring like a kitter over her toilet, when she heard voices below her window. The window was open. Every word rose to her distinet and clear Probably the fa,ct that they were uttered heartily enabled her tc hear the following; "What ! My dear old frienc Hawkins! Here, Colonel'Gar diner, permit me to introduct Captain Hawkins, a man who, as much as any other, contributet to our success at the Qape. iiov you did plow them down witi your battery, Captain ! It wai fearful work." "Never mind that,General,now,' began the voice sirs. Mordan1 now heard in her dreams. "The captain has one fault,' said the general, "he is modest t< a degree. Now, for my part, think modesty ja very well ina wman, but I wager a hundred t< one nobody hereabouts kgnows th< captain's record." The widow had hoard enough Her husband, who !aid down bil life at the Cape, had frequentI alluded to a gall.", hig-ide 'Y.imander of a battery, and thi was the hero-the man she neve deigned to look upon till h risked his life to save her son's. The following day, as the cap tain was sitting at the window smoking, there was a tap, a verg gentle tap, at his door. "Come in," said the captain But when he saw the beautifu widow, his face became almos coppery in color. "1 beg pardoi She relieved him immediatel2 by quietly seating herself. "Captain Hawkins, I feel tha I ought to thank you in persot for your action. One:can't trns one's self' to paper always. I in tended calling when I sent th~ note, Now that it is off my min< I feel relieved." She laughed softly. The cap tan ventured to look at her. H< had never contemplated such love liness. The widow .wisely re franed from disconcerting him but rising, bowed gracefully, anc walked off with the captain't heart as effectually in her keep ing as though the contract hac been sigied and sealed before a cloud of' witnesses. Oh, the widos managed her forces well, be sure She carried the citadel by storm Needlaen tosa the captain dis - covered his loss, and went after 1 his heart. Is it necessary to re count the occurrences that follow ed in such rapid order? To such as understand the nature of the i blandishments beautiful women i n cave around the bravest of men, nothing moro need be said. When the captain's new rela .tionship. was explained to the i widow's son, that precocious i youngster startled his mother by saying suddenly, "What makes i you marry Captain Iawkins, ma? 2 Didn't you tell mo he was the I ugliest man in the world ?" "Handsome is that handsome I does," answered the widow, gs the I betrayer was ient away. "Cap. tain. I did say something like that." "Say no niore," said the captain, as he took her hand in his own. I "I dare say i'l bear acquaint- I ance." Let anybody say Captain faw kins is ugly ; he does it at his peril to-day. FOR THE HERALD. 1ROA;)BREI'S PARIS LET TER, NO. 19. Canada in the Great Exposition. At the northwest corner of the Exposition building is a grand tow er unique in shape and of grand design, which is a daily delight to < thousands and thousands of visi tors. From early morning till the shadows of evening fall, a constant stream of inquisitive humanity may he seen ascending and descending to and from the gallery near its i summit, from which can be obtained I one of the most magnificent views to be found in the entire Exhibi tion. The building itself is of var nished Canada pine, and is deckedI with the flags of England and France from the base to the sum mit. On each side of the eastern< door~ a couple of rampant bears are ready to give you a welcome, and from a point near the spire a noble deer looks down as if intently watching the wonderful pageant below. Around the first story are] grapged seeds, wines and many of the products of agriculture, gar nished by a display of the most tempting and luscious fruits. Rare flax and hemp are there and many -other things that lay at the foundation of Canada's wealth ; and above are stuffed birds] and animals ; mingled with Indian inbrics rich with the odor of .the pine woods and sqggestive of sav age life. Beautiful models of boats are fastened to the side of the up per tier, and, in fact, the entire building is a museum of curiosities. This is C4nada's %npie and tri but" 1-0 the Great Exposition of 1878. Its surroundings are par ticularly grand. In one corner rises a mighty obelisk of copper from Australia ; in another, a mon ument of gold representing the wealth of Victoria. New South Wales and Queensland are here with their glittering tributes, and as if undismayed by the shining challenge. Canada exhibits a huge octohedron of gold valued at 66 millions of dollars. On the east is the splendid Prince of Wales' col lection flanked by the richest pro ducts of the Indian loom. On the south side is machinery hall with its marvellous collection of engines and machines. On the west is the department devoted to agricultural implements, and on the north stretches the beautiful grounds rich] in horticultural wonders and gay with the gaudiest of flowers. But< though this curious and splendidI building is the center of observa tion and bears the name and ar-i morial bearings of Canada. It is < not the main object in the Canadiani Exhibition. The great exhibit of 1 Canada is down at the opposite end of the British section, and ad joins the A.merican department. It is no small task that Canada has undertaken. Close neighbors to her are those wonderful British colo nies from the other side' of the< globe apparently teeming with all I ier is displayed the inexhaustible vealth of the mother land, where renius and wealth have united to >erf,ect the most marvelous crea ions that have ever entered into ,he mind of man. Yet, in the midst )f all this, Canada calmly sits and vithout challenging or boasting )ays: "I am here on exhibition; Valk up, ladies and gentlemen, and ake a look at me." It is a some ;rhat startling announcement but ;here is a possibility and that not a -emote one, that Paris at no dis ant day, may be drawing its fash ons from Toronto and Montreal, nd rising architects may seek in he atmosphere of Ottawa a more I nlightened and happier inspira ion for their genius. Speaking of fashions, Mademoi-: elle McCafrey, of Montreal, has lere a silk dress on exhibition, vhich will st4nd comparison with I he handsomest toilettes of Worth >r any other Paris maker. Morei vonderful still is the exhibition of assimers by the Paton Manufac uring Co., of Sherbrook. If there s one thing for which France has tood pre-eminent more than ano her, it is in the manufacture of assimers. French cassimers have reputation vll over the civilized vord, and you can well imagine he daring of a little back town in Janada ruffing its feathers along iide of the choicest looms of Francee ight on the main aisle on the iothern boundary of the Canadian xhibit is the Paton Manufac uring Company's handsome case lled with as beautiful a display of assimers as can be found in the mntjre Exhibition. All of the goods 1ave that sharp, bright, nqbby ap.. )earance which tells you that a live nan is somewhere about the pattern lepartment, and the cassimers ,hemselves have that firm, yet lexible silky sort of feeling which s the perfection of this class of nanufactures. Itis very laughable :o see the Frenchmen shake their -eads as they pass the Paton case. Eou can't fool them ; they know they ire French goods, and, indeed, I Ion't wonder that the Frenchmen ire deceived for in appearance, tex ;ure, fabric, feeling and style they ire identical with the very best Brench goods in the market. in ;he corner of the case is one lovely ?iece of mix,ed grey with a small inte stripe which is one of the hand-, somest patterns to be found any where. The assortment exhibited my the Paton Manufacturing Co., is guite large and varied, and, con sidering the task they have under baken at Paris of challenging com parison in a staple manufacture with the foremost nation~ iin the wiorld, they have aehieved great 20.no.r for themselves and won dis ~inction for the province which is ~ortunate enough to call them eitg sens. 45on the most striking objects in the Exhibition is a section of the Welland Canal. by the Department of Public Works. The excellence of this exhibit can be scarcely appre iated without being seen, the stu pendous magnitude of the work itself ; its mighty locks, its massive walls of solid masonry, its long reaches that bear the waters of the akes to the sea are marvels of modern engineering. The Depart ment of Education claims -more than a passing mention, not only from the nature of its work, but the admirable perfection of its display. Books, charts, models, globes, and n admirable collection of philos cphical intruments are the distin guishing features of this portion of he Exhiibition. In addition to this a model school-house attracts u.ni versal attention, and scarcely a bandsomer could be found in Eu :ope or America. The educational xhibit reflects high honor on the. Department which so worthily pre ~ides over the education and cul ~ure of the people, and it is an hon rable record to the people, also, ~hat they sustain and foster insti utions where the child of a poor nan can receive an education which ~voud fit him for the foremost >osition in the world. The display of various classes of oods is admirable, and each one pparently the best of its kind. The :ompetition in leather is exceedingly ieavy,; yet Canada's exhibit is -1o4t.hahest. It is not as large I as that of many others, but thE quality of their sole leather in par ticular is as good as the best. Charles Raymond, of Guelph, is here with his famous sewing ma 3hines, and has one of the most beautiful and tatty little exhibits on be grounds. Malcome exhibits ;addles and harness, and in this lepartment stands almost alone. There are other exhibitors, ol nxceedingly great merit, but the 3xhibit of Mr. Malcome is so su )erior that there is scarcely a .ompariscn veen him and any ing around him. Wheat, wine, ,vool and almost everything de nanded by the necessities or lux ries of man are here displayed. The exhibit of crockery faience by Evans Mercer, of Montreal, is ex ,eedingly satisfactory, and the fW0 aiture exhibited by George Moor iead, of London, Ontario, is fit for :he palace of a King. The Organ Jompany of Bowmanville are also ,vell represented and the same may )a said of Hunger, of Hamilton, vho has on exhibition one of the 3andsomest fire-places in the Brit sh department. The Starr Manu !acturing Co., have a case of club ikates as beautiful as the interior f a jeweler's shop, and the Dart nouth rope works display the .hoicest of their manufactures. The 1xhibition of agricultural machinery is very large and exceedingly fine, .clipsing every former exhibition ind igqrpasaing even the display al Philadelphia. It is impossible, iE the brief space accorded me, to dc justice to a tithe of the exhibitors, bu Canada hqa every reason to bE proud of her appearance in Parif n.1878, and I hal be eUeeedingly 4istakez- it a respectable lot ol gold medals do not find their wa3 bo Montreal and Toronto, and i the Paton Manufacturing Co., oJ Sherbrook, does not get one alsc they will not have received theb just desert. Truly youre, - BROADBIDM. PERIL OF IGED TEA. Beware the cup. In these dayi of raging thermometers and busy coroners it is fraught with peril Scientific men, learned men' in th< professions, have compelled us t< drop the luscious strawberry ir terror by. screaming out to uw that it would give us the hydro phobia. T1hey have made us heart sick with apprehension by show ing that the tempting peach it our hands was reeking with th< deadly prussig acid. They have filled our ice cream with poisonous impurities. They have forbidder us to drink water that has passed through iron.or lead pipes, or thai has stood iD a wooden vessel, 0i I". in a cemented cistern, oi rippled from the rock of the hill side, impregnated with heaver and chemistry only know whal awful substance, until one restric tion after another has made it the only safe way for aman to get drink of water, for him to liE down on his back, open his mouth and wait for the shower. Scienc< has kindly warned us of the deatl that larks in the coffee cup. ThE cup that blesses:t he breakfast tabli impairs the digestion. Large doses of it produce palpitation of the heart. It is adulterated with Ven. etian red and native sesquioxide 01 iron. Science has also warned un againt the.use of warm tea, bread and butter, meat, vegetables, fruit: grain, roots, berries, milk, and similar articles as food. Singular ly enough, science has not yet as sailed iced tea. But it will not dc to permit people to enijoy t,hif cool, delightful beverage, simply because its taste is grateful to the wearied system during this scorch ig weather. We must do our duty, though science may shrink from it, and the people may cry out against us. There is danger in iced tea, and if you would live ong and well shun the cooling aup. We will cite a few instances >f carefully made experim ents. On the 10th of June, John C. Rempstead, of West Hill, began ~o drink iced tea at dinner and mpper. He kept up this practice ~or nearly three weeks, and then, ne day, going down the Division treet steps. slipped and fell1 abrading the skin of both Jj and running a sliver into the'b0 of his thumb so far that,it meo his teeth ache when he pulw out.

Henry Esterfeldt, of Fto street, drank iced tea reguqWa_e. every summer for three p He persisted, and one Su ternoon while he was out his horse ran away and sib seventeen dollars out of a rowed buggy. He paid them but neglected the warnin went on drinlWng iedtea; d ndu i less than six weeks som poisoned his dog. A young woman who d-'.-. sewing in thiscity, while e in the family of Ralph Hende of Maple street, becsi6 ad to the use of iced tea. e ran a sewing machme a through her thumb, and for days, whenever she pfe cup of iced tea, a shar through that thumb..' fused to obey the warnav ever, and in six-weeks O carried away.
