Jesus on the Shore.

■■' ■ W ■ By C. E. Bolles,

Through the night of sin we journeyed, Stumbling offc beside the way, For the clouds hung thick above us, Veiling every starry ray. Then there came a voice to cheer us, One we ne'er had heard before, Lo ! the morning light was breaking — " Jesus stood upon the shore." Sorrow's wing was brooding o'er us, . And we knew not where we trod, For the tear-drops dimmed our vision As we felt the chastening rod. Then a light shone through the darkness, And we whispered o'er and o'er, i Grief departs, its reign is ended— "Jesus stands upon the shore." Want and woe were hastening toward us, Pallid phantoms, stern and grim, And we knew not how to pass them, Four our faith was growing dim. But the loving hand that led us Kindled up the flame once more, And we felt that blest assurance — "Jesus stands upon the shore." And this thought will come to cheer us, Drifting on life's ocean wide, Floating nearer, ever nearer, To the home beyond the tide, Though: the storm may sweep the waters, Till the billows loudly roar, "Peace, be still," we'll anchor safely, "Jesus stands upon the shore." Death is coming, surely coming, - And the shadows of the grave, But we need not fear its terrors, If we trust his powers to save. Lights are gleaming in the valley, Shining through the crystal door, And, in our eternal morning, " Jesus stands upon the shore." , • —Exchange.

A New Salvation Army.

Mr Stead, in a letter to the "British Weekly" said : —I hear that- there is likely to be a new development in con nection with the Salvation Army, which will probably have very far reaching effects. It is not generally known that the Booths, particularly Mrs Booth, are intensely interested in the social ques tion. When Henry George visited Lon don' a year or too ago he is said to have remarked, after attending a meeting of the Army, "Here is the true social re volution 1" and a good deal of the spirit of Henry George has unquestionably entered into the Army and its chiefs. Not, of course, that General Booth is going in for the nationalisation of the land or any debatable policy of that sort. He is an intensely practical man, with a special eye to immediate utility ; and the new departure in which he is engaged in elaborating, has to do with-the relief by employment of the.nnemployed and the reclamation of lapsed industries. lam not, at. liberty to say more at present about this matter. But I have discussed the subject at, some length with the G,enerajj and I am satisfied that the scheme now in preparation, embracing as it does the; whole range of the social question in its relation to, the unemployed labor and wjrate land, when it is fully worked out, will command the support even of those who have hitherto looked askance at the enthusiastic irregulars who march beneath the banner of Blood and Fire."

He had no fear of any gveat conflict of opinion, and believed federation would place them On'vantage ground from which the colonies could speak with one voice. Sir B. O'Loughlin moved an amendment demanding a definite outline of the proposed basis of Federation, since the House could not, without the express authority of the electors entertain any proposals unless ited, and such

i federal union as would leave to legis latures of each colony the sole right of i imposing taxation within their own territory. He accused the Govern ment of ignoring the House in the appointment of delegates. Mr Munro f intimated that the Opposition had \ determined not to oppose the matter at present, but to pass a resolution appointing delegates, and let them go straight to business.

TEN MONTHS' SUFFERING IN A HOSPITAL.

There is an old saying that physicians are a class of men who pour drugs, of which they know little, into bodies of which they know less. This is both true and untrue at the same time. There are good and poor lawyers, and good and poor doctors. The trouble with these medical gentlemen as a profession is that they are clannish and not to be conceited. They don't like to be beaten at their own trade by siders who have never studied medicine. They there fore pay, by their frequent failures, the penalty ot refusing instruction unless the teacher bears their own " Hall Mark." An eminent physician—Dr Brown-Sequard, of Paris—states the fact accurately when he says : " The medical profession are so bound up in their self-confidence and conceit that they allow the diamond truths of science to be picked up by persons entirely outside their ranks. We give a most interesting incident, which illustrates this important truth. The steamship " Concordia," of the Donaldson Line sailed from Glasgow for Baltimore in 1887, having on board as a fire man a man named Richard Wade, of Glasgow. He had been a fireman for fourteen years on various ships sailing to America, China, and India. He had borne the hard and exhausting labor, and had been healthy and strong. On the trip we now name he began for the first time to feel weak and ill. His appetite failed, and he suffered from drowsiness, heartburn, a bad taste in the mouth, and costiveness and irregularity of the bowels. Sometimes when at work he had attacks of giddiness, but supposed it to be caused by the heat of the fire room. Quite often he was sick and felt like vomiting, and had some pain in the head. Later during the passage he grew worse, and when the ship reached Halifax he was placed in the Victoria Geneial Hospital, and the ship sailed away without him. The house surgeon gave him some powders to stop the vomiting, and the next day the visiting physician gave him a mixture to take every four hours. Within two days Wade was so much worse that the doctors stopped both the powders and the mixture. A month passed, the poor fireman getting worse and worse. Then came another doctor, who was to be visiting physician for the next five months. He gave other medicines, but not much relief. Nearly all that time Wade suffered great torture ; he digested nothing throwing up atf he ate. There was terrible pain in the bowels burning heat in the throat, heartburn, and racking headache. The patient was now taking a mixture every four hours, powders, one after each meal to digest the food, operating pills one every night, and temperature pills two each night to stop the cold sweats. If drugs could cure him at all, Richard had an idea that he took enough to do it. But on the other hand pleurisy set in and th doctor, took ninety oitucss of matter fiom his ; i'lit side and then told him he was sure to die. Five months more rolled by and there was another change of visiting physiciansh The new one gave Wade a mixture whica he said viadc him trcmb'e lilui a leaf on tree. At this crisis Wade's Scotch blood asserted itself. He refused to stand any more dosing, and t ild the doctors that if he must die he' could die as well without them as with them. By this time a cup of milk would turn sour on liis stomach, and lie there for days. Our friend from Glasgow was like a wreck on a shoal, fast going to pieces. We will let him tell the rest of his experience in the words in which he communicated it to the press. He says: "When I Avas in this state a lady whom I had never seen came to the hospital and talked with me. She proved to be an angel of mercy, for without her I should not now be alive. She told me of a medicine called 'Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup,' and brought me a bottle next day. I started with it, without consulting the doctors, and in only a few days' time I was on t of bed colling for ham, and eggs for brcaltfast. From that time keeping on with Mother Seigel's great remedy, I got well fast, and was soon able to leave the hospital and come home to Glasgow. I now feel as if I was in another world, and have no illness of any kind." The above facts are calmly and impartially stated, and the reader may draw his own conclusion. We deem it best to use no names although Mr Wade gave them in his original deposition. His address is No 244, Stobcross street, Glasgow, where letters

Western Australia.

[per press association.] London, June 9,

Mr W. H. Smith informed the depu tation of Agents-General who waited on him to-day, that Parliament would not be prorogued until the Western Australian Eabling Bill had passed. The deputation strongly protested against the retention of clause 8, which provides that any local Act authorising restrictions on the immigration of British subjects or any class of British subjects into Western Australia shall be reserved for the Queen's assent, as they feared it was favorable to the in troduction of Chinese. Lord Knuts ford, who had introduced the deputa tion, assured the Agents that the Government would only re-insert clause 8 if it was found beneficial to Western Australia to do so,

The Western Australian Enabling Bill was committed to-day. Mr John Morley spoke in support of the mea sure, but owing to the opposition offered by Sir George Campbell and Dr Tanner no progress was made.

Thousands gave the most gratifying testimony. Read this certificate:—" 24th April, 1885 — Messrs Sander and Sons,—lt is with the greatest of pleasure that I testify to the excellence of your Eucalypti Extract. Having had inflammation of the bone of the leg, which came on after a severe attack of low fever, I was attended by Dr J. Boyd, who had made stremious efforts to save my leg, but without success. He found it necessary to amputate my limb. Having heard in the meantime of the wonderful cures worked by the Eucalypti Extract, I obtained a bottle, and the extract had not been applied more than an hour when I began to feel greatly relieved. After applying the extract every four hours for nine or ten clays it was out of all danger. I would persuade all who may be effected with any such disease to give the Eucalypti Extract a trial, and I am convinced that they will find it the most wonderful of medicines.—Youib etc., E. J.

IT IS CHEAP and repays itself tenfold to the sheep-ownerr ! IT IS EASY TO USE, requiring very little preparation, mixes instantly with coid 1 water, leaves no sedimeut, no scum, no waste. One gallon of Dip to 100 gallons of water—the wash is then ready for use. IT IS SAFE. . While Piosonous Dips can only be used with caution upon sheep, ; I this Dip may be used upon all animals : Horses to kill insects and the mange ; also ' Dogs for tho same purpose ; also for exterminating insects, and alleying all irritation of the skin of Dairy Cattle, Pigs, etc., for which purpose it is simply invaluable.

Nursery on my own account and am prepared to sell FRUIT and FOREST TREES of the choicest sorts at prices not to be beaten. Having had 28 years' ex perience at Home and in the Colonies, I have grown none but the best sorts of Fruit Trees, knowing that a great many that are planted out are shy bearers and some that do bear are inferior in quality. I have also a very choice collection of Roses and Shrubs. Gardens laid out: work done by contract or by day. Old fruit trees re-grafted with choice sorts if required. Hoping to get a fair share of public patronage. : r— Note the Address— x J, MILLICHAMP, Nurseryman, Terrace Nursery, . Tinwald.
