Baron Grant's Portuguese tramway prospectus was nothing to it, as where he promised ten per cent.as a maximum, the Graphic promoters held out i the more tempting bait of one hundred and | Afty, and, what 1s more, got Mr.James Stewart, of the Herald, to siga a certificate, published on the prospectus, which actually says: \u2018\u201c The receipts are likely to | surpass the amount!\u201d Poor, gullible, simple public, to be taken in with such upparalleled audacity.But our confiding citizens doubtless imagined that this was sn unprejudiced, unbought opinion of Mr.Stewart, of the Herald, The sequel will show, This unique document, entitled the pros- pectus\u2014it should be preserved in the ar- .chives of our museum for the information and warning of the present generation and those who come after\u2014starts out with stating that \u2018\u2018 the object 6f the Company .isto establish in the United States a basi.ness, the counterpart of that carried on here by Mr.G.A.Desbarats,\u201d It tells of the wonderful illustrating process for sav- : ing labor and money possessed by the patentees, and after enumerating numerous enterprises it could be applied to, makes a glowing promise in the following words : \u2018\u2018 Any one of these items, monopolized as it would be by our process, could of itself constitute and support a business.\u201d But this is modest, for, as it proceeds, it warms with ardor, and, step by step, sentence by sentence, it launches bolder and bolder, until it claps the apex of the pyramid of imaginary argument with the one hundred and fifty per cent.profit per annum, not éven excepting the first year of the enterprise, from this success, \u201c\u2018 With these unparalleled facilities, we can launch in the United States what will be at once & most lucrative undertaking.\u201d This project was to include a daily illus- brated paper\u2014\u2018\u2018the only one in the world\u201d\u2014and various branches of engraving, &c., added.¢\u2018 The sale of such a paper at five cents would be a wonder, and an unprecedented achievement, which would make it at once a success,\u201d These are the words of the prospectus.Four years have elapsed, the paper has been going all the time, and the verification (?) of the promoters\u2019 words is shown by the fact that not one cent of dividend bas ever reached the sharcholders, and $500,000 of their hard cash has melted out of sight ! Fact !! startling though it be.But to proceed.¢* The cost,\u201d quoting from the prospectus, \u201c\u2019 of publishing such a paper has been carefully and minutely computed, and is shown by the following figures : Daily cost of an edition of 30,000.\u201d After enumerating in detail type-setting, press-work, paper, photographing and engraving, the amount is taken at $673, multiplied by 310 working days in the year, gives a total of $208,630, to which add, editorial staff, artists, &o., $50,000, \u2018* showing the year's expense on 30,000 coples to be $268,630.\u201d The income from sale of papers is taken at $300 per day, producing $279,000, and showing \u201c¢ profits on sales alone, $20,370.\u201d Next comes the revenue from advertisements, estimated at $280 per day, making $86,- 800, from which 25 cent.18 de: ducted for commission, \u2018\u2018leaving net $65,100, added to profit on sales, makes a yearly profit of $85,470,\u201d A minute calculation is then gone into, showing the additional profit on extra circulation.For each 10,000 copies after the first edition of 30,000, the pretit is set down for the yvac ab $50,685, making the total profit on a circulation of 40,000, $136,155 ; on 50,000 copies $186,840, and on 100,000 copies (the number estimated to be the circulation in the beginning of the prospectus), $440,265.Now, that is coming close.Just think of that\u2014$265 over the $440,000.What minute and accurate calculation ! It must have becn a professional accountant who made up that calculation.These calculations, says the prospectus, \u2018\u2018do not take into account the number of original illustrations which would be paid for as advertsements by parties interested, and for the insertion of which large sums wonld be frequently obtained.\u201d Of course not; there was a mine of wealth, a perfect Bonanza, in everything connected with this huge\u2014swindle.\u201cNor do we compute the subscribers in Europe, Canada and elsewhere, who could be supplied with the paper.\u201d This was to | be another mine\u2014it was, but instead of a | Bonanza, it was an Emma.| (To be continued in later edition.)

Tue Fate A Story ef Life, OHAPTER XXXVIIL Mark Wilton, darng his last inter views with Lotte Clinton and in the ia- tervals that occurred between them, psssed through a severe trial of his love.| All the untavorable points in the circumstances revo! ving round Lotte served, instead of coo ing the arde:t flame kindled ' in his breast, to mak: it burn more ! fierce'y.They were 60 many small tm- pediments whioh, apparentiy.caloulated; to stop the progress of his passion, ao.tuslly extended ite area, und added to its | depth.; And then all that was ridiculous, violent, scornful, wrathful, he indulged in by turns, and, swearing he would forget even her very name, hurried off to Harry Vivian for some explanation, some consolatory, mitigating extenuation, which | should justify him in secking her agsin, | He alternately froze and burned as Hal | f:avkly expressed the sentiments which he entertained for Lotte ; and what he beard from bis lips, and what he felt, had but the one effect of making his love for her yet stromger, mare impetuous, and more unreasoning than aver, Mark determived after the last interview with her to marry ber.He made bis way down to Harleydale, abrorbed in the purpose of bringiag his father round to his way of thioking.He expected a Very angry opposition, and he left London in a state of preparation for it.He commenced with a derces altercation with a cab driver, quarrelled with the money-taker at the railway station, and, with fiery eyes and spluttering words, informed the guard of the tratn that be would report him, because that | functionary refused to admit him into a carriage already engaged.Fortunately the compartment into which be did defiantly thrust himself had no other passenger, and he was solus all the way to the station nearest to Harley.dale\u2014arguing the case with an imaginary obstinate parent, hostile to his views, every inch of the Way.By the time he reached Harleydale he bad exbausted the discussion, trizmph- apt'y defeated the arguments of the phantom father, extorted from him a con.gent to the union between himself and Lotte, and had got so far as to hear the village bells ringing a joyous peal.He was awakened to the reality of the case by ascending to the library at the Hall, and meeting his father just as he was jssning from it to place himself unconsciously within the reach and power of Mr Chewkle, Mark Wilton's impetuous nature would brook no delay in bringing the subject mearest to his heart to an issue.The.life he had passed on the islands of the South Pacific, and in other wild regione, amid unlettered, impulsive men, bad commuuicated to his character much of that hasty decision and impatience of delay peculiar to those who nix in the exciting scenes abounding in |.the warm climes of the tropics.He could not bave endured to pass the day patiently away ; dined with an appetite ; discoursed on different topics with his father, and ultimately parted with him for the night with a forma) notice that in the morning ho wished to confer with, and consult him upon an important subject connected with his settlement in life.No.Hehad quite made up his mind to marry Lotte, whether his father cousented or not; and, therefure, the sooner he knew what side his father ranged himself on\u2014 and adhered to\u2014the better.Mr.Wiiton, having just.parted with | Flora, was most complacent.He, too, | had been indulging in imaginary coaver- | gations, and a visiom, wherein his daughter, | overpowered by his aff-ctionata, condust ' and his honeyed words, gave at his sug- | gestion, with gracefalsweetness, her band and heart to the Honorable Lester Raymond.As he was mentally bestowing his ' = benediction upon the kueeling pair, his | eyepfoll upon, his son, Math.: With & face radiant with smiles, he ex- | claimed\u2014 i \u201c Ab! my deer boy, back from the great metropolis go soon ; 1am glad to see you, | none the less because you are wearied of its tuimotl, its driving, rushing, selfish ' carcering, its hollowness, and its heartlessness.\u201d «Yes, Pm back,\u201d said Mark, \u201cbut I | bad an object in coming back; though, Ccitainly, not oneof those sentiments you bave suggested, induced me to leave London, of which, if I must speak the truth, Iam infinitely more fond than of the country, But I see you are going out\u2014 anywhere particular ?\u201d \u201c No, Mark,\u201d returned Wilton, with a mild, patronising manner, \u2018merely for a stroll and the air.I have not stirred abroad for some days and pedestrian exercise is necessary tor health,\u201d 4 Very true, sir; 1 will accompany you, if you will allow me, we can talk in the breed, free, fresh air, as well as bemeath the: carved roof of your: library!\u201d said Mark, with some little force in his tone, as though urging the point.With all my heart,\u201d said Mr.Wilton, Sotogether they left Harleydale Hal ang pairsued their way to the woods, where Mr, Chewkle lay hidden, Astthey eauntered slowly across the park, the old man replied to some ques: tiong jespecting Flora which Mark pat to him in so cherry a strain that the latter augured favorab!y of his cause.Bacawie.he perceived that a reconciliation had ensued between.bis sister and his father, and, as he had the strongest faith in Flora 8 adhesionto the choice of her heart, he concluded his father had made the necessary concession, and that his owa path to Lotte's hand was half freed fro; the impediments he had conjectured h father would place in it.He at once cast about for an openingto- broach the deiicate subject; but his father saved bim the trouble by plumply introducing it.Mr.Wilton felt.slightly hilarious; brightened hopes of his daughter's mar.Tiage, arsisted by the healthful fresh air playing round bis brow, disposed hig to.be festive, : \u2019 How perfectly unconscious he was of tbe bombardment he was about to receive, or the animation with which he should return the fire, He threw the first rocket into Mark's entrenchment; it was returned with a live shell, which exploded the instant it reached Wilton\u2019s fairy fabric and demolished it almost immediately he had erected it.* Well, Mark,\u201d exclaimed the o'd man, as they went on, pray, what is the special otject which has brought you down to Harleydale post haste from gay Loudon\u2014something very important, of course ?\u201d Mark nodded with an air of one who is impatient to communicate some weighty affair.Old Wilton chuckled.\u201c A wife, Mark, eh ?\u201d he said, in a light, jesting tone, simp'y because is was the wost improbable thing that oscurred to bim.\u201cYes,\u201d ssid Mark, with emphasis, surprised that his father should come to the point of their anticipated discussion without being, so far as he knew, prepared for it.\u2018 At first Wilton laughed, for he accepted the answer as one returned in the same spirit as that in which he put the question, ' Then it struck bim that there was a de- | cided and remarkable emphasis in the tone of the affirmative which Mark had uttered.He gave an uneasy glance at bis sou\u2019s fratuies.He feloa cold perspiration steal over him ; the marrow in his Lones suddenly ach d so pasinfuHy that he stopped.What was coming ?Muk walked on thoughtfully; pre- sentiy he missed his father from Ljs side.4 Why do you pause ?\"\u2019 he.turned rouad and raid ; \u201c you are not already: tired \u2014 sbell we go back ?Old Wilton waved his hand imgn- tientpy\u2014 \u201cTam pot tired,\u201d be said, sharply, bas rater buskily, We will go og-buttza, a-hem\u2014but | quite presume that yog undegstand wy question to you, Mack, wagput j-stingly 7\u201d \u2019 3 \u201cJestingly !' echoed Mark; «ah { but, | father, 1 am very desirous that pou should understand I replied in serious earnvst- Luss,\u2019 wisage contracting and wearing that hard + + of the Fairest ' (expression wbich so chilled Flora's warm \u2019 affection to witness, \u201cYuu remember the old house in Olerk.enwell, where we lived in a very diffsrent state of things to this\u201d said Mark, and paused as he pointed around him, \u2018\u2018 Go on,\u201d responded bis father, coldly.\u201cIn that house''\u2014he raised his voice\u2014 \u201cI say, in that house, from whoss burning ruips young Vivian saved all your childien, except myself\u2014saved, too, the | document by which alone you were enabled to enter on the possession of this property, and leap from destitution into proéperity\u2014correct me if I mistake aught,\u201d He paused again.Mr.Wilton maintained a grim silence.( To be continued.) SUNDAY READING THEN AND NOW.BY & M 8 \u201c As on eagle stirreth no her nest .: the Lord alone did lead him.I sat by my fireside dreaming, The embers were burning low, Yet into each nook and corner Crept the soft and ruddy glow\u2014 Seeming to tingle my fancies, As over the world they roved\u2014 A life full of light and beauty, A world to be deadly loved, I have anchored my bark securely,.I am safe from fear of ill ; Each day, ar it comes, comes only My cup of joy to till, I have heard the preacher\u2019s story Of & world more fair than this, But why should I seek its glory When my life is full of bliss ?Thus I wrap my mantle round me, In a proud and sweet content ; Nor dream by the wonderful Giver My blessings are only lent.* * * * * * Again I sit by the hearthatone, The embers are all gone out, The shadows are gathered about me, The storm is howling without ; My bark is loosed from its anchor, My treasure sunk in the ses ; The days af they come come only.In sorrow and grief to me.I sit in a lost amszement, ° And ask why this should be ; And, listening, a voice replies, \u201cI have better things for thee.\u201d Thus sorrow and grief have taught me A lezzon scorned in my pride ; Ilift up my eye unto heaven, I pray Thee to walk by my side In weal or in woe, blessed Master, As thou hast chosen for me, Ever looking beyond for the blegaing Of a life forever with Thee.TRUST AND BE TRUSTED.\u201c\u2018The course of true love never did run emooth\u201d is a time honored but hardly reliable saying.Why will lovers quarrel?Ope great cause is jealousy, The very fact that ne is jealous is a sure indication of more than ordinary friendship, for what cere we for the actions of a person to whom we are indifferent?A friendship which has continued for any length of time cannot be broken without causing heart ache for one or both.Better it is to overlook slight annoyances that take oftence at an unguarded word, and destroy the hife hope of a fellow being, Be earnest, trusting, having faith in all mankind ; follow the law of the heavenly Teacher, and your life will be a useful and happy one.DEEP THOUGHTS, In that unique and grandest of all prayers ever offered on earth, John xvii., five times, and each time] with a difference : in the plea, does the Lord Jesus, as the Great Intercessor, ask of the Father that His people\u2014and this, too, in all ages\u2014should be one.Five times! Have we thought of this?Twice does He give this as a reason for His request: \u2018\u201cThat the world may believe,\u201d ¢\u201c That the world may know that Thou has sent Me,\u201d \u2014adding, after His second mention of the reason, this marvellous plea : \u2018\u2018 And that Thou hast loved them as Thou bast loved Me!\u201d Swrange that we should not fall.ia with Jesus in Hie own way for promoting the Church's well-being! No doubt these frequent ap- peala to the Father for the oucness of Christ\u2019s people suggest to us the occurrence of rome great obstacles in the way of maintaining this unity ; and the experience of centuries has shown how formidable these difficulties have been; but.not the lees does the intercession of Jesus evince tha unspeakable, the indispansable importance of unity, and guarantees its full accomplishment at last.My own persuasion is that the quarrels, contentions, and, alas | I fear I must evan say hatreds, among Christians, have done more, almost, than anything else dismally to arrest the progress of the Gospel.The compactness of the tribes of Israel for forty years in the wilderness at once {reserved them from infection by the corruptions of the nations around them, and proved an indispensable requisite to the conquest of their promised inheritance.Had the Church of the New Testament times, of which Israel was typical, maia.tained a corresponding compactness, she would, by this time, havé been on her way toward the possession of her world-wide inheritance, promised to her in the person of ber Head.\u2018\u2018 Ask of Me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for.thy possessicn.\u201d .Ît was a singular delight.to me, while Iate'y erzaged in God\u2019s work beyond the.Atlautic, to find myself in the midsg of an assembly in British America whose components, a short time ago, represented eight separate ecclesiastical organizations, but are now combined in owe compact body\u2014one church, It seemed to me as if a new factor had suddenly appeared on the earth for the subduing, by God's grace, the world for Jesus.Ob, the power of combination, concentration, and of the unity of the Spirit in | the bond of peace.1f we take a collection of small pieces of glass, and cause the rays of the sun to pass through them, no ap.porent effect is produced.Even if the separate pieces should be rounded, ant thickened towards the centre\u2014in which care the piece of glass, if presented to the sun would assume the character of burning assez still, the effect from the amall- ess of the glasses would not be grrat at one spot.But let all the pieces of glass be melted and cast, so as to form a lens of tbirty or thirty-two inches ia diameter, ard then be held up so as to concentrate and trapsmit the rays of the sun, the ia.tensity of beat produced at one point will he such as to melt the hardest substance So wlth the power of combination on che part of Christ\u2019s people, when the glorious 1ays of the Sun of Righteousness are |.brought to bear, through them, on the hearts of men on the earth, \u2014Rev.4.N.Sumerville.GEMS OF THOUGHT.Temper is s0 good a thing that we should never lose it.It costs more to revenge wrongs than it does to bear them.: Frowns blight young children as frosty nights blight young plants, It is better to encourage what is right than to punish what is wrong, If you wich to know how an associate speaks of you to others, mark huw he speaks of them to you.Little drops of rain brighten the meadows, and little acts of kindness brighten the world.Men want restraining as well as propelling power.The good ship is provided with anchors as weli as sails, Young, the desire of pleasing renders women amiable ; old, the desire of being loved induces them to be so.If a man\u2019s self-respect will not save him from habitual intoxication, all the female ivfluence in the world would not avail, The sweetest music is not in the oratorio, but in the human voice when it speaks in tones of tenderness, truth, or courage.The more we know, the less we say.At deatha man arrives at immense kvowledge, aud doen't open his mouth, 0 | WE exclaimed Mr.Wilton bia | Uneaey and ambitious gaati vey.8 always | Spurious gentility.The garmuat.which 4 me bas lung wom never sia uncom.) f fortable.The worthiest people are twe most injured by slander;

for to be daring and \u2018courageous against these eucmies is the noblest bravery that a human mind is capable of.Bad luck is a man with his hands in his breeches pockets, aud a pipe in his mouth looking on to see how it will come.Gool luck is a man to meet diffisulties, his sieeves rolled up, and working to make it comeright, Men who succeed in removing wants from the creation, falsehoods from the memory, and disgraces from our nature, are to the realms of truth what the heroes of mythology are to the primitive world \u2014 they lessen the number of monstors on the earth.Our bomes are like instruments of music.The strings that give melody or discord are the members, If each is rightly attuped they will all vibrate ia harmony ; but a single discordant string jars through the instrnment and, desteoys 1t8 sweetness, It is generally supposed that a light and buoyant temperament tends to frivolity and to fickleness.Bat no man is 8» well qualified to discharge the daties of life as one who acts through a tamp:ramens that is glowing and genial, Such a man, above all others, is able to bring to the discharge of his duty such happiness as eaables him to be persistent therein, TEMPERANCE AND INTEMPERANCE, THE PRAYER OF THE INEBRIATR.Oh, God ! how ruesome was the hour, Wherein it came to pass, That yielding to the Rum.fiend\u2019s po ver, I drained the poisoned glass ! Well might I pause\u2014for e\u2019en to taste, As time had shown full well, Oft Imes to paths that unretraced, Lead down to certain hell, But, ah ! \u2019twas in that sightless time, When spurning all they love, My feet bad left the way sublime, In worldly paths to move ; W ben pride and passion filled my breast, And on my soul fell vain, The sacred Word, the high behest, Designed that soul to gaia.And go, in madness unrestrained, I qoaffed the cup that shone, Until my very mashood\u2014chained, Might scarce be deemed mine own ; Till brave Ambition could but pine, Till Love was but a name, And lofty thoughts that once were mine, Were stifled in my shame, To leave this fatal downward track, In vain was I implored, Though loving friends oft called me back, And one \u2014\u2014 whom I adored ; And children fair around me stood, \u2014 Brig ht pearls by heaven sent, And saw their sire\u2019s unwonted mood, In tearful wonderment.The world shrank back in just reproof, And friends and fortune frowned, And ties that made the heart's dear woof, In anguish were unwound ; While on I strode with scarca a will, Unto the lake\u2019s dark brink, The warning voice unheeded still \u2014 Nought left me but to sink, At last, Oh't God, Thy grace hath come, To ope my blinded eyes, And 1 bave found both friends and \u201c Home,\u201d And helpful sympathies ; And kneeling in the dust I pray, That Thy protecting arm, May guide me in the better way, And shield from further harm, ¢ *Let but the word of grace be told, Let but Thy mercy spara, Do Thou but keep me in the fol 1, Aloof from every snare ; : Then shall the dragon Drink flee far, Nor dare again assail, Then shall I tight the Christian war, Encaged in sin-provf mail, Then as I do the Master\u2019s work, My heart shall find sweet rest, Then ehall no fear or sadness lurk, Within this aching bre st;

the consumption of bynor bas very largely decreased.\u201d H.W.True (Judge of Police Court) says :\u2014 \u201cMy experience tells me the law (Prohi- t Extract from Gov.Dingley\u2019s Inaugural Address to the Leuis- iature, January 8th, 1874:\u20144 \u2018This system has Lad a trial of only twenty-two years; yet its success in this brief period has, on tbe whole, been so much greater than that of spy other plan yet devised, thas prohibition may be said to be accepted by a large majority of the penple of this State as the proper policy towards drinking houses and tipplihg shops.\u201d MISCELLANEOUS.Friendship is a flower that the devastating band of Time cannot crush, nor the lightning soathe.1t rears its beautifal head in the morning of prosperity aud ox- 1 pands and blooms, and casts its nectarious odor on the feeling heart ; and when the night of adversity sets in and ita chilling, withering dews fall upon its flexible leaves and humble stalk, it is not seen to sink beneath the oppressive load, but like tue melifluous rose raising itself with the weight of gems to kiss the Orient\u2019s beams, it epiings into existence, and its beauty and its fragrance imparts a charm to all around, In these hard times itis nothing unusual to meet men who, thrown out of regular employment, have remained idle for weeks \u2014perhaps months, The mystery is, how do they live?For live they do, and, in s(me cases, with tolerable comfort.Now, &8 everything in life is paid -for by some.bedy, the inference is that these men live upon their fellows ; are content with dise graceful sloth, and without a single sspiration or care drift on in idleness, waiting for business to revive, and for work to present itself to their hands.With such men we have little sympathy; they are, as a class, worthless fellows, It may be safely asserted that a faithful, honest, hard-working, pains taking, temperate craftsman is never altogether wish.cut employment, no matter how great the etringency of the times.Tunere is always some work to be done, some one is in need of skilled labor, and the man who bears the highest reputation is certain to be called upon.Such men can make places for themselves\u2014cau- pot be dispensed with\u2014must bs retained.The cry of *\u2018 hard times\u201d affects them but Jittle ; they may he forced to work for awhile at reduced prices, but are too vala.able to he permitted to leave, eventhough 1etained at a loss, for the hour will come .when their want will be sorely felt, and when they will far more than remunerate the employer for any present inconvenience ard unreturned outlay.Men like these seldom complain of having * nathing to do.\u201d It is the worthless inebriate who delights in the subterfuge, aud has it ever upon the end of bis tongue, as an excuse for his shortcomings, for rags, poverty aad standing listless upon the corners of the streets, He will not work at reduced prices\u2014not he! Bat be will loaf, aad go ragged, and hang round bar-rooms on the chance of meeting some one who will \u2018\u2018stand treat,\u201d until intemperance and poverty bave him fast in their clutches.In domestic happiness the wife's.influence is much greater than her husband's ; for the one, the first cause\u2014mutual love ar d confideuce\u2014being granted, the whole comfort of the honsehold depends upon trifles more immediately under her jurisdiction.By her management of small sums her husband\u2019s respectability aad credit are erected or destroyed.No for- tone can\u2019 stand the constant leakage of extravagance and mismanagement; and more is spent in vrifles than women would ensily believe.The one great expense, whatever it may be, is turned over and carefully reflected on ere incurred; the income jg prepared to meet iti ; it is pennies imperceptibly sliding away which do mischief, end this the wife alone cau atop, for it does not come within a man\u2019s province, There is often an unexpected trifle to be saved in every household.Itis not in eccnomy alone that a wife\u2019s attention is s0 pecessary, but in those matters which make a well regulated house.An ma.finiebed cruet-stand, a missing key, à bnt- topless shirt, a soiled table-cloth, a mustard pot with ald contents sticking aboat it, are rcally nothing ; but each can raise an angry word or cause discomfort, Depend upon it, there is a great deal of ! domestic happiness in a well dressed mut.ton-chop, or a tidy breakfast table.Men grow full of beauty, tired of music, are often too wearied for conversation, however intellectual, but they can always appreciate a well swept hearth and smiling comfort.A woman may love her husbaad devotedly \u2014may sacrifice fortune, friends, family, country for him\u2014she may have the genius of a Sappho, the encanted beaun- ties of an Armida ; but\u2014melancholy fact \u2014 if with these she fail to make her home comfortable, his heart will inevitably escape her, And women live 80 entirely in the affections that without love their existence is a void.Better submit, thea, to Lowschold tasks, however repugnant they may be to your tastes, than doom yourself to a loveless home.Women of a bizher order of miud will not ran this risk ; they know that their feminine, their domestic, are their first duties, Tt BRNWERAS, &o.WH.DOW & CoO., BREWERS AND DISTILLRERS, MONTREAL: + Indie Pale and ethur- Ales, Estra,-Double: and Single tout, In wood anû BOI \u2019 Familles supplied, \u2019 J QBN EH B.MOLSON & BROS, ALE AND.PORTER BRE WARS, 286 8t.Mary Street, Montreal, havaslways on hend the vartons kinds of ALB apa PORTER, in wood and bottle, Families regularly supplied, The following Bottlers are only supplied by us with our labels, and bave liberty to use them: \u2014 J Patrick H gaD.exve0es Telerphore Hogue, Jas Mcintyre.H, Beckett, F.Arcb-mbault.J, Goilbauit & Co.,.»«.Visitation streat l)utario stres' auchetiere strest cu.Wolf atre ++ ly.HATS, CAPS, &o.Fors: Furst Furst CHEAP!
