(From the Agricultural Gazette . ) CONTINUED. “ Fill my jug Mrs. Crockit,” said the gardener, and then addressing Sam, after looking at him for some time, he invited him to cross over and sit by his side. “ Come here ! ” said the gardener. Sam crossed the room and stood before his friend, and gave him his jug, and the gardener returned the compliment and gave his jug to Sam, and then the gardener spoke in solemn tones. Fixing his eyes on Sam, he said, “ Come here ! ” “ l am here, John.” “Yes, you are ; I see you are,” said the gardener. “lean see your beloved face, my friend, especially your nose. I can feel yon with my mug. Sam, so ! I am glad we are both where we are. This morning I was in a place I hates. ” “I know you were,” said Sam, who knew the circumstances of a case before the magistrates in which the gardener had been too deeply interested. His daughter, a pretty and rather flighty girl, much given to extravagance in dress, had pur loined some trifling article from her mis tress. The gardener had attended the bench, and hence the tone of his reflec tions, and hence, perhaps, the several pots of beer in which he had endeavored to drown his grief. “ I hate a court of justice,” he con tinued. “ I hates the buzz, and I hates the hum and the turning over this and that and crying 4 Order ! ’ Eh ? I hates it, and I’m glad I’m here. ” The company assured the gardener they were glad to see him. He had opened his heart as wide as the company seemed to expect. “You can’t say more, John,” was echoed round the room.—“ We don’t ex pect it,” said Sam. “We know you can’t say more, John. ” “No, I can’t; you know I can’t,” said the gardener. ‘"But this I will say ;in the morning I went off by the first train sorrowful ; you all know where I went. ” (His daughter had been let off.) “Well, I am come back to the Dew Drop, where we all feels at home ; and what I say is, I hates a court of justice. In the place where I be now, as the Scripture says, my sorrow’s took away. ” The landlady, it seems, had a particu lar objection to people “talking Scrip tures,” as she called it, in her house. “ Take your Scriptures, somewhere else,” she said sternly; “ I always say Scrip tures aint fit for a public-house. Talk ’em at home. I have nothing to say against that; or go outside and talk ’em in the cold, but don’t talk ’em here.” The gardener made no reply, but the reprimand confused him, and he began twisting up a local newspaper and light ing it instead of a spill for his pipe. During the confusion of extinguishing the - blazing journal, a messenger entered with important news. Squire Chisel had been found dead in his smoking room. The old regime, such as the reader may infer it to have been, from this slight sketch, was over. “ The world’s a stage,” said the poet ; he might have said a staircase, since by it we climb. William Root had been created by the Almighty, in spirit, incar nate, in matter, a little lower than the angels, that he might ascend by the ladder of his fleshly life to the presence of his Maker. But how in Compton could he climb ? To use a philosophic term, what could be the motif of his life? It is said that edu cation, in its broadest sense—call it pro . bation if you will—is the meaning and the cause of man’s existence on earth. It is said to be the key to the enigma of life ; and if that be so, how ill must it fare, in this world and the next, if pulpit truth be really true, with men like* William Root! What sort of education can labor ing folk enjoy in such a place as Comp ton? We have seen William, not at schoolboy stage of existence, but in the vigor of his manhood—the ripened fruit of a system not uncommon in the rural districts twenty or thirty years ago—and we ven ture to predict that his character must have borne a close relation to the circum stances by which he had long been sur rounded. Without being utterly debased or desperately wicked, he was, at forty years of age, extremely ignorant, and much too fond of beer. As for the motif of his life, it might have carried him per haps, at the highest stretch of his noble aspiration, as far as the top of the hay stack he was engaged in covering with thatch ; and, on the other hand, the motif of his life in the winter months, when ho and his family were starving on 9s. a week, might let him down as low at least as poaching, and, at a pinch, even so low as the stealing of his master’s corn. It must be admitted, then, bearing in mind the acknowledged duties of property, that Squire Chisel had been much to blame in regard to William Root, and that such landlords form a sufficient ex planation, if not excuse, for those rabid land reformers who would relieve the Chisels of their neglected trust and set the Roots in their place. The Rector of Compton had been for several years as the sower who went forth to sow. And not a single grain had fallen on good land as yet : not one ear of corn had been produced. “ Slay Heaven in its mercy grant this parish the blessing of a well-disposed and wealthy landowner ! ” Such was the prayer of the good rector ; and thinking, simple-minded man, that _ he might bo the appointed means of hunt ing up a good landlord, and, learning 1 shortly after Mr. Chisel’s death, that the estate was not entailed, and was, in fact, on the market, he repaired at once to a gentleman who had written against the * land laws. “Sir,” said the worthy gentleman, ‘‘l am the rector of a most unhappy parish 1 - named Compton. The proprietor is lately . dead. 1 know your deep interest in the reform of evils such as my unfortunate t parish labors under, and learning that you are rich, I have come to implore you to buy the estate of Compton, -which is now in the market. ” The reformer stared. He was a harsh looking, hard-voiced, dark-complexioned, pompous man of commerce. It w T as said of him in the City—“ If you want a five pound note of Jowder, even at Christmas I time, and for however good a purpose, J yon must ask for it very early in the morning.” i'll - - .Jmvvli.t r.-s.-iitfiillv at tin rector’s kind face, and then fixed his uugenial eye on the ink-bottle on the table, and uttered a loud expressive “ Hum ! ” The rector started at the sound. “But, sir,” he pleaded, “ though the people may be poor, the land, I am told, is rich. ” m “ How many acres ? ” inquired Jowler. Like others of his kind, he liked to revel in the idea of possessing land, and would sometimes collect all the particulars of sale of a great estate and gloat over them ; but he never w r cnt further, because 7 per cent, is so much more attractive than 2h. “How many acres?” asked Jowler, who was the last man in London to buy more than just enough land for his house to stand, in some cheap suburb. - “ Five thousand,” said the rector, look ing much disappointed. Mr. Jowler’s three words and one ejaculation, and something in the forbid ding aspect of his face, had completely SI dis-illusionised the good parson, so easy is it to read the bit of heart belonging to an avaricious man, even though a land re former and would-be M.

Medical. Advice to mothers.—Are you broken in your rest by a, sick child, suffering with the pain of cutting teeth ? Go at once to the chemist and get a bottle of Mrs. WINSLOW'S SOOTHING SYRUP. It will relievo the poor sufferer immediately. It is perfectly harmless ; it produces natural, quiet sleep by reliev ing the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes “ as bright as a button.” It has been in use in America, and is highly recommended by medical men. It is very pleasant to take ; it sooths the child ; it softens the gums, allays all pain, relievos wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for dysentry and diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Be sure and ask for Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, and see that “ Curtis and Perkins, New York and London,” is on the outside wrapper. No mother should be without it. Sold by all medicine dealers, at Is. llrd.—Depot, 493, Oxford street. TSTHO is Mrs. WINSLOW? As this ’ v question is frequently asked, we shall simply say that she is a lady who for upwards of thirty years has untireingly devoted her time and talents as a female physician and nurse, principally among children. She has especially studied the constitution and wants of this numerous class, and, as a result of this effort and practical knowledge obtained in a lifetime as nurse and physician, she has com • pounded a SOOTHING SYRUP for Chil dren. It operates like magic, giving rest and health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence of > this article, Mrs. Winslow is becoming world-renouned as a benefactor of her 5 race. Children certainly do rise up and • bless her. Especially is this the case in 17 this city. Vast quantities of the Soothing " Syrup are daily sold and used here. We 7 think Mrs Winslow has immortalised her " name by this invaluable article, and we 5 sincerely believe that thousands of chil -1 dren have been saved from an early grave 1 by its timely use, and that millions yet 3 unborn will share its benefits and unite in calling her blessed. No mother has dis l charged her duty to her suffering little 3 one, in our opinion, until she has given it > the benefit of Mrs. ’Winslow’s Soothing v Syrup. Try it mothers, try it now.— ‘ Ladies’ Visitor, New York City. ® "T T ALU ABLE DISCOVERY for the 1 V HAIR. A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE ,, NEWER, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun f try, at 3s. fid. per bottle, is fast super a ceding all the old restorers and dyes for i, the purpose of changing grey or white il hair to its natural original color, for it •- will positively restore the hair in every li case of greyness to its original color, with out dyeing it or leaving that offensive smell e which most of the hair preparations of the g day do. This preparation has never been i- known to fail in restoring the hair to its e natural color and gloss in from eight to s twelve days. It promotes growth and 0 prevents the hair falling out, eradicating d dandruff’, and leaving the scalp in a clean, n healthy condition. It imparts peculiar r vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring e it to its youthful freshness and vigor, i, Daily applications of this preparation for i. a week or two will surely restore faded, i- grey, or white hair to its natural color and u richness. It is not a dye, nor does it con e tain any coloring matter or offensive i- substance whatever. Hence it does not soil the hands, the scalp, or even white s linen, but produces the color within the e substance of the hair. Read the follow [i ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, e Walkden : “One of my customers told Y me the other day he had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer I 1 sold him, it was restored to and kept its natural color.” It may be had of any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer : in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. fid. per bottle.—Prepared by HENRY C.

COCKLE'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS— Those Pills consist of a careful and peculiar admixture of the best and mild est vegetable aperients, with the pure ex tract of the flowers , of the camomile. They will bo found a most efficacious remedy for derangement of the digestive organs, and for torpid action of the liver and bowels, which produce indigestion and the several varieties of bilious and . liver complaints. They speedily remove [ the irritation and feverish state of the stomach, allay spasm, correct the morbid condition of the liver and organs subser vient to digestion, promote a due and 1 healthy secretion of bile, and relieve the constitution of all gouty matter and other I impurities, which, by circulating in the blood, most injuriously affect the action of the kidneys ; thus, by removing the causes productive of so much discomfort, they restore the energies of both body and mind. To those who indulge in the luxuries of the table these pills will prove highly useful, occasioning no pain in their action, unless they meet with an unusual quantity of acrid bile and acid matter in the stomach and bowels. To Europeans on their arrival in India or China they are recommended as a preservative against the fatal disorders peculiar to tropical climates. Their occasional use, if com bined with the strictest attention to diet, will be frequently found to remove at once, by their influence over the secre tions, that congestive and unhealthy con dition of the liver which is so often the earliest antecedent of severe febrile and constitutional disturbance. It must be understood that these pills are not recommended as containing any new or dangerously active ingredients; on the contrary, they are characterised by a remarkable simplicity of combination, and whatever merit they may be found to possess depends as much upon the selec tion of pure drugs, and the unusual labor and attention bestowed upon their subse quent preparation, as upon the acknow ledged peculiarity of their composition, The}' are not recommended as a panacea, nor arc they adapted to all complaints ; but as a mild and efficacious aperient and tonic in the varjops forjps qf indigestion, it will not, perhaps, bo an exaggeration to state that they have been resorted to under all systems of diet, changes of cli- i mate, or atmospheric alternations with an extraordinary degree of success for • upward* of seventy-eight years. lids | * celebrauid family aperient may be laid j throughout the United Kingdom in Uixi-.s ; 1 at Is lid, 2s 9d, 4s fid, and lis Ud, as well as in India, China, New Zealand, and he Australian Colonies.
