It is reported of a clergyman, the happy father of a charming.daugh.ter that, while preparing his Sunday dis-* course, he was suddenly from his desk, leaving unfinished this sentence, “ I never see a young man of splendid physique and the promise of a glorious manhood almost realised but my heart is filled with 'rapture and delight.” His daughter, happening to enter the study, saw the sermon and read the words. Sitting down, she wrote underneath, “My sentiments, papa, exactly.” Holloway's Pills and Ointment.— Glad Tid ings.—Some constitutions have a tendency >to rheumatism, and are, throughout the year borne down by its protracted tortures. ‘Let such sufferers bathe the affected parts with warn brine, and afterwards rub in this soothing Ointment. _ They will find it the best moans of lessening their agony, and, assisted by Holloway’s Pills, the surest way of oyer-’ coming their disease.
