SELECT POETRY. NOT GRUDGINGLY, NOR OF NECESSITY. The Hand that strews the earth with flowers Enriched the marriage feast with wine ; The Hand once pierced for sins of ours This morning made the dew-drops shine ; Makes, rain-clouds palaces of art ; Makes ice-drops beauteous as they freeze ; The Heart that bled to save — that Heart Sends countless gifts each day to please ; Spares no minute, refining touch, To paiut the flower, to crown the feast ; Deeming no sacrifice too much, Has care and leisure for the least ; Gives freely of its very best : Not barely what the need may be, But for the joy of making blest ; Teach us to love and give like Thee ! Not narrowlj men's claims to measure, But question daily all our powers, — To whose cup can we add a pleasure ? Whose path can we make bright with flowers ? —Author of Sckonberg- Gotta Family.

A German newspaper says that two years ago, Mr Christian Segemaver became father of his 58th child. His first wife gave birth to 23, of whioh six were twins and 11 single born children; his second wife to 19, and the third and yet living wife is mother to 16 children. Of these 58 children, 28 are living, all being daughters, nnd the man has never been sick, and enjoys good health, as do his children. Holloway's Ointment. — Painless Cures. — Sores, wounds, ulcerations, and other diseases affecting the skin, are amendable by this cooling and healing unguent. It has called forth the loudest praises from persons who had suffered for years from bad legs, abscesses, and chionic ulcers, alter every hope of cure had lon.u passed away. None hue those who have experienced the soothing effect of this Ointment can form an idtnof the comfort it bestows by restraining inflammation and allaying pain. Whenever this Ointment has been once used it has established its own worth, and has again been eagerly sought for as the easiest and safest remedy for all ulcerous complaints. In neuralgia, rheumatism, and gout, the same application, properly used, gives wonderful relief. 90
