then j and I ant no longer alone. Kiss the old man Rachel, for Colin'« sake." She rose from her knees, and leaning over his chair, softry kissed his broad, fur rowed brow, with the tender earnestness of her long pent-up love; and then slio left him alone. lii her quiet chamber Rachel knelt to thank Him who was showing; her tho silver lining to the sable cloud, and entreated yet moro fervntly than she had through all these years, " that the lost might bo found again, even that Colin might come home." {To be Continued.)

HYMOROUS CLIPPINGS.

A iiairdi;e.sseii at tho East End has this startling announcement in his shop— " Ladies' short-comings made up and ar ranged." A young man with a very large nasal organ and a weakly moustache said, in com pany, " I wonder why my moustache doesn't grow under my nose as fast as it does at the sides '>." " Too muoli shade," responded a young lady. The gentleman who always liked "to have plenty in hand" thought differently the first time he had to put a fat woman on her horse. The other night a man who had won five bets went home so elated that when his wife met him in the hall he hugged her so tapturously that she had to tell him it was not the servant girl before he would let go of her. AYhen a young lady tripped into a music shop the other day and asked the bashful clerk in attendance for "Two Kisses," he jammed on hi 3 hat and rushed out of the back door. Tho clerk, never having heard of the piece of music, thought he was the rictim of a Leap-year kind of proposal, and his salary was not large enough to support two, " Is that dog mad ?" lie asked the boy as the animal dashed by. "I reckon he is !" replied the boy; "I just see a butcher take a piece o' meat away from him and kick him six feet into the air. Wouldn't you be mad if that was done to you ?" " My child, what is an erring man ?" said a clergyman at a Board School examination in Aberdeen to the brightest pupil. "The fishmonger, sir," was the reply. Finn, the celebrated comedian, once fell orer a lot of wooden ware in front of a man's shop, upon which the shopkeeper cried out, " You came near kicking the bucket that time, mister." "Oh, no," said Finn, quite complacently, "I only turned a little pale." " Now, apos'n you was to be turned into an animal," said Jim, "what would you like to be, Bill?" "Oh, I'd like to be a lion," replied Bill, "because he's so—" "Oh, no, don't be a lion, Bill," interrupted little Tom, who has had some recent pain ful experience at school ; " be a wasp, and then you can sting the schoolmaster. " Air Thompson presents his compliments to Mr Simpson and begs to request that he will keep his piggs from trespassing on his ground--." "Mr Simpson presents his com pliments to Mr Thompson, and begs to suggest that in future he will not spell pigs with two gees." " Sir Thompson's respects to Mr Simpson, and will feel obliged if he will^add the letter "c" to the-last word in the note just received, so as to represent Mr Simpson and lady." "Mr Simpson returns Mr Thompson's letter unopened, the imper tinence it contains being only equalled by its vulgarity." Jean Hiroux appears the hundreth time before the Judge. Judge: "Prisoner, then you are incorrigible? You know, I suppose, what has brought you here again '!" Jean Hiroux : " Mons President, we are old ac quaintances, arc we not? So, therefore, when I saw in the paper that Madame la Presidente had given birth to a little boy, I at once had myself taken up to have the chance of congratulating you and inquiring how the mother and child are progressing." —Le Gaulois. A member of a certain corporation, not a hundred miles from Tynemouth, who is by trade a butcher, met a friend, who is in the same line of business, in a hostelry the other day. Tiie latter asked the worthy local senator how he was, and was told in reply that lie had a bad face from toothache, and a sore ankle. The other said gravely, to the amusement of the company, " Confound it, man, you have got the foot and mouth disease." Why is the first chicken of a brood like the foremast of a ship ? Because it's a little for'ard of the main hatch. During a big thunder shower little Willie, who slept upstairs alone, got scared and called his mother, who came up and asked him what" he was frightened about. Will admitted that the thunder was a little too much for a youngster who slept alone. *' Well, if you are afraid" said his mother, "you should pray for courage." "Well, all right," said Willie, an idea coming into his head; "suppose you stay up here and pray while I go downstairs and sleep with pa." Outside the Opera House. Inebriated wayfarer (reading bills): "Shtallsh full, dress-shircle full, boxshes full, pit full, gallery full—ami I'm full. I think I'll go to bed." Why do pioneers march at the head of a regiment" To "ax " the way. A sharp Hebrew boy was asked one day at a German public school —"Wherein did Joseph's brethren do wrong in selling him to the Egyptians?" "They sold him too cheap," was the prompt reply. " Is it wrong to cheat a lawyer ?" was recently very ably discussed by the members of a debating society. The conclusion ar rived at was that it was not wrong but im possible. " 1 don't believe it's any use,this vaccina tion,'' said a Yankee. "I had, a child vaccination, and he fell out of the ■winder i\ week arter. and got killed !" "This Isn'ta menagerie," sharply observed an irascible woman toa man who was tryingto force his way through the crowd at the door o£ a concert-room. " No, 1 suppose not," returned the man, "or they wouldn't leave any of the- animals to block up the entrance." A lady, who had company to tea, reproved her little son several times, shaking, how ever, very gently. At last, out of patience with him, she said, sharply: "Jimmy, if you don't keep still, I'll send you away from tho table." "Yes, that's what you always do when there is company, and there's not enough cookies to go round," was the reply of the gifted youth. A little girl joyfully told her mother that she had found out where they made horses, as she had seen a man in a shop just finish ing one of them, for he was nailing on his last foot. " How came you to fail in your examina tion ?" asked a tutor of one of his pupils. "I thought I crammed you thoroughly." " Well, you see," replied the student, "the trouble was that you crammed me so tightly I couldn't get it out." Magistrate (who has lately taken to himself a wig) severely: "H'm, I think I have seen you here before, and on a similar charge." Drunk and disorderly female: " No, your 'onor ; s'elp me, never ! The last time I was up afore a bald-'oaded old cove, not a bit like ye. rt

Cellis Browne (Lute Army Medical Staff), to which ho gave the name of CHLORODYNK, and which is admitted by the profession to be tho most wonderful and valuablo remedy ever discovered. CHLORODYNK is the best remedy known for Coughs, Consumption, Uronchitis, Asthma. CHLOKODYNE acts like a charm in Diarrhoea, and is the only specific in Cholera and Dysentery. CHLOROOYfTK effectually cute short nil attacks of Epilepsy, Hysteria, Palpitation, and Spasms. CHLOKODYNE is the only pallativo in Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Cancer, Tooth ache, Meningitis, &c.

As a remedy of general utility, wo much question whether a better is imported into tho country, and we shall be glad to hoar of its finding a place in ev«ry Anglo-Indian home. Tho other brands, we aro happy to say, are now relegated to the native bazaars, and j udging from their sale, we fancy their sojurn there will he but evanescent Wo could multiply Instances ad mfiwjttvnn of tho extraordinary efficacy of Dr. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne in Diarrhoea and Dysentry, Spasms, Cramps^ Neuralgia, tho Vomiting of Prog-nancy, and as a genoral seda tive, that have occurred under our personal observation during many years. In Choleraic Diarrhosa and even more terriblo forms of Cholera itself, we have witnessed its surprising controlling power. We have never used any other form of this medicine than Coliiß Browne's from a firm conviction that it is decidedly the best, and also from a sense of duty wo owo to the profession and the public, as we aro of opinion that tho substitution of any other ttuin Coilis Browne's is A dklibhkatk-brkach of faith ON THE PART OK THB CHEMIST TO PRESCRIBE!* and patibnt alikb.
