The Musicale given by Miss Simpson
on Saturday evening last to show the
proficiency and progress of her pupils.
gave a very pleasant evening's enter
tainment to tlie parents and friends
assembled. "Wo have long known and
appreciated Miss Simpson's ability as
a teacher and on that evening our ap
preciation was enhanced as we observ
ed ia the performances of the pupils,
the results of patient training, and cul
tivation of a taste for what we might
call standard music. This class of
properly instructed pupils growing up
will help to elevate the musical taste
of all around them, and thus the ef
forts now confined to a few individ
uals will have an influence much wi
der in the future. Lack of time aud
space incident upon the holiday duties
prevent our mentioniag the perform
ances of the pupils in detail. v e can
only commend the scholars to persevere
as they have begun and their progress
will be much more rapid the higher
they go, under such traiaiug. To Mis3

Since our attempt at poetry has

Say "tl'iink you, sir," and "mam" go hear
the preacher.

"All work no play," you know thu ret.
And wise folks think this is the bert.
The exact apportion we'll not state.

Don't bite oft more than you can chew.

Thus will you mind and body strengthen.

An Astonishing Fact.
A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the ef
fects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver.
The result of these diseases upon the
masses of intelligent and valuable peo
ple is most alarming, making life ac
tually a burden instead of a pleasant
existence of enjoyment and usefulness
as it ought to be. There, is no good
reason for this, if you will only throw
aside prejudice and skepticism, take
the advice of Druggists and your
friends, and try one bottle of Green's
August Fiower. Your speedy relief
is certain. Millions of bottles of this
medicine have been given away to try
its virtues, with satisfactory results in
every case. You can buy a.samplo
bottle for 10 cents to try. Three doses
will relieve the worst ease. Positively
sold by all Druggists on the western
continent. 2sly-cow

commotion among them and they have
all left, thanks to the "Centennial Hat

A (ieutle Hint.
In our style of climate, with its sud
den changes of temperature, rain,
wind and sunshine often intermingled
in a single day, it is no wonder that
our children, "friends and relatives are
so frequently taken from us by neglect
ed colds, half the deaths resulting di
rectly from this cause. A bottle of
Boscliee's German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use wiil pre
vent serious sickness, a large doctor's
bill, and perhaps death, by the use of
three or four doses. For curing Con
sumption, Hemorrhages, rnemnoniu
Severe Coughs, Croup or any other di,
sease of the Throat or Lungs, its suc
cess is simply wonderful, as your drug
gist will tell you. German Syrup is
now sold in every town and village on
this continent. Sample bottles for tri
