in the interests of public morality, a scrupulous regard for religious worship, and traditional usages and customs ; materially, an unexampled bound of prosperity, and even the disastrous effects of the periodical famines which afflict certain parts of the peninsula more and more diminished by the extension of railways, which facilitate the work of relief.And what has wrought all the miracles ?The wisdom and the courage of a few directing statesmen, and the bravery and discipline of an army composed of a small number of British and a large number of natives, led by heroes ; and, lastly, and I will venture to say principally, the devotion, the intelligence, the courage, the perseverance, and the skill, combined with an integrity proof against all temptation, of a handful of officials and magistrates who govern and administer the Indian Empire.\u2014Baron ton I/ubnrr.\\ %oping Cough anil all Throat and Lung Diseases.Sold By J.R.Mc-Bain, druggist Price 2.r*o, 50c.and 81 per bottle.It\u2019s a great pity sunion ever grow up.They are so Issautifully ingenious and honest as children.It is not a misfortune for a young lady to lose her good name when a nice young gentleman gnes her a better one.There is an opening in a Soul hern town for some enterprising »>l»l man.The oldest inhabitant has just died and left a vacancy.He who attempts to mediate between husband and wife is like him who tries to walk under two umbrellas\u2014he receives the drippings of both, and the protection of neither.Joweller :-\u2018llow do you like the watch T O Kelly :\u2014Shun, an\u2019 its a glide wan, sur!
