Cupid on Board Ship.

Wu h vv> received from a news agency Uo luiiuwing p/etiy story, wbicti ii touched fop as omtner'from an'horitativ* ■tourcea : Tue f-.urth i ifio«r f T.ie Soot, Vlr Clifford, who so gallantly attempted o «eecue the hte Mr B. I. Barnato, ot mcd some time ago, during the out waid passage of the Bteamer, a great tttnchraenb for the daughter of a South African milliooairo, who r cipr c*ted h'l I affection. The father and mother of the /oun« Ind?, who 8 well known in London •inciety, uttetly declined to consider such a preposterous thing, as the marriage of ■ heir daughter to a mere "fourth officer,'* whose attachment looked very hopeless under the circumstances. By a strange coincidence, howevtr, the mother, father, and daughter were passengers on the Scot when the unfortunate Mr Barnato committed 6uicide, and were tpectatorß of Mr Clifford's brave attempt afc rescue. So struck was ihe father by Mr Cliff >rd'a oondnct that his hostility began to wane, and on Mr Wooif Joel—on behalf of Mr Barnato's relatives—handing Mr Clifford a cheque for £1000, and promising to UB« all his great innaenoe to further the young mati'd advancement;, final'y broke down altogether, Ihe marriage is to take plwe within six month".

Lines to a Forget-me-not.

—W.B. in Mount Ida Chrm'eU.

Sweet little flower, thou tiny gem, Thou art a loving Father's care, Thy tiny petals, slender stem, Thy beauties, all are rich and rare, The fairest in the garden plot, My own, my sweet forget-m«>uot. Thy tiny petals, Heaven born. Like little stars peep forth to greet The glories of the dewy morn, Dispersing beauty at our feet. The brightest gem among the lot, The modest, meek forget-me-not, Thy sister flowers their beauty shed Like graceful maids divinely fair, They proudly flaunt l'ieir perfumed heads In sweet profusion everywhere. Though brighter beauties they have gob, I prize thee most forget-me-not, Thou canst to me in language speak ; Thy modesty a truth displays ; Thy virtues are as maideus meek. Disdaining proudly fulsome praise, But modjstly in shady spot Would bloom unseen, forget-me-not. Thy starlike gems of azure blue, As through the vale of life I pled, Awake my soul and thrill me through, Thy presence breathes the power of God, What purity without a blot, Thy silence speaks, forget-me-not. Forget-me-not. The poet's theme. A mystic charm the words convey. Fond memory wakes as from a dream To joy j auti sorrows passed away. The sweetest little flower we're got, The little blue forest-me-cot.

Holloway's Ointment—Bores, wounds, ulcerations, and other diseases affecting the ekiu, are capable of speedy amendment by this cooling and healing ointment, which has called forth the loudest praise from persons who have suffered for years from bad legs, bad breasts, biles, obsesses, and chronic ulcers, None but those who have experienced the soothing effect of it can form any idea of 'he comforfc it bestows by restraining inflammation and allying pain* Whenever Hulloway's Ointment has been once used it has established its own worth, and is again eagerly sought for as the easiest and safest remedy for alt complaints. Iv nueralgia, rheumatism, and gour, the same application propetly used, gives wonderful elief.

A GIUL. <- ♦— — St. Leonards has been the scjne of nuui erons startling events In the course of its earner, which hnveixoied the attention, not only of the borough itself, bat of the whole country. Rt c< ntly there has been another striking inciden*, wnioh has been the subj ct of much comment, and which, moreover, has an instructive side. A narrow escape from death arrested atten tion, and the * Hastings Observer ' visited the herone, Mies Sarah E Gough, of St. 1 Leonard's, a prepossessing rosyfaced yoang woman, looking the picture of health *I used to suffer from a' seraia,* she said, ' and was ill for four or five months I kept getting worse and worse, and was so weak that I could not walk about. I ased to wish I could die. I could not <at anything without being sick, and for two or three days I would go wifchonfc any thh.g to eat at all. When I went up stairs I had to go up two or three at a timej and then take a rest. I had no breath for walking. I lost all my color ; a very clever doctor told me that I had not got half a pint of blood in me, and that what I had was no good, adding that I was on the verge of consumption. I had to take to my bed—l could not stand. The doctor tried my heart and laid it wks very weak. I had very bad palpltions. and used to suffer from indigestion. At: l*st I tried Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Everybody waw telling me about them, and the good they had done After I had been taking them about a week I began fo feel better. I had more color, and regained my strength. My breath came back tome. I took them con tiriucm ly for about two months, leaving uff taking them about four months ago' ' And now yuu feel quite well ? 'Yes, lam better now than aver I was in my life. The people used to ask whatever was the matter with ma. They told m« I was in consumption," Miss Gough'a words clearly show that her ca«-e is permanent. These Pills are nob like other medicine, aai 'their effects are permanent. They act directly on the blood, and thus it is that they are so f.imoas f >r the cure of arfemia and rheu matism, weak heart, scrofula, consump. tion, chronic erysipelas, and to restore pale and sallow complexions to the glow of health 'I h«-y are til&o a splendid nerve and spinal tonic, and thus have cured many cases of paralysis, locomotor ataxy, neuralgia, St* Vitus'dance, and nervous headache.
