ae THE COUNTY OF PERTH HERALD, STRATFORD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 1864. Skating and Skating Rinks. The Grumbler, under the heading of "Barney off the Rink," hits off a certain Reverend gentle- man in the following happy style :--" A reverend gentleman at Belleville has been solemnly warning his congregation to keep away from the Skating Rink. We do not know what were the terms of the exhortation, but suppose it may have run somewhat as follows : " All ye who want your sins forgiven, And mean to find your way to heaven, Keep far away from danger's brink, And, Oh! avoid the Skating Rink! " Uprightness is the sign o' grace, The wicked go in crookrd ways, Sinners, their hunds together link, So don't go near the Skating Rink. " Make straight paths for your feet, beloved, And never from your course be moved ; At vain amusements never wink, And frown upon the Skating Rink. "These Rinks are slippery places, and Only the wicked there do stand ; All saints must tumble, so I think They'd better shun the Skating Rink." Referring to the same matter, the Colborne Times says :-- " A correspondent of the Belleville Intelligen- cer states that a Rev, Mr. Climie has warned his hearers against the insinuating and dan- gerous vice of skati1.g, more particularly when practised in a building set apart for that pur- pose!" "Tmmaculate Climie! Wonder if he ever was a boy." Romantic Case in Ireland. The Cork Examiner vouches for the truth of the following bit of ro- mance in real life, which reminds ene of Ireland sixty years ago: On last Tuesday week one of the largest audiences ever assembled in Cork Theatre was attracted to it by the promised attendance of the fox- hunters of the South of Ireland in full hunting costume. Connected with this incident isa story which contains a strong spice of iomance. A gen- tleman residing in Cork, of consider- able eminence in the scientific world, as well as distinguished in the bunt- ing-field, and in social circles, was recently at a ball near Queenstown, at which a young lady of great beauty was present. In the course of the evening the gentleman, who had béen but a short time previously introduced to the lady, managed to monopolise her conversation so much as to excite some little annoyance among various other gentlemen _pres- ent. Among these were two English officers, ore of whom in the course of the evening made a remark to the Irish gentleman, which, by implica- tion, meant that he would not be as successful in more manly contests. The [rish gentleman at once accepted the is plied challenge, and said that if the la ty would give him her brace- let to wearas a gage at the next day's hunt, which was to come off n ar Fermony, he would undertake to come in at the finish before either of the two officers, and would then write a song to be dedicated to the lady, and in her praise, which he would get set to music, and afterwards have sung belore one of the largest au- diences ever assembled in the Cork Theatre. The wager was at once accepted, £20 being the sum staked. The lady with much spirit gave her bracelet, the hunt came off, the gen- tleman wore it, and rode in trium- phantly at the head of the field. He afterwards did compose the song, and got it set to masic, and this was the pretty ballad which Mr. Bowler sang so charminszly after the opera. To secure the large house on that night the patronage of the fox-hunters of the South of Ireland was obtained by the gentleman who played such a prominent part in the transaction, and the highly successtul result was tu be found in the crammed condition of every part of the building. The next morning 'a letter was delivered to the hero of the adventure, containing a cheque of £20, from his rival, with whom he had made the bet, who thus acknowledged our countryman's superiority as a courtier, a cavalier, and a poet. The following is the song :-- Thy colors in my cap I wore, Thy presence in my heart I bore ; Surely a charmed life was mine- Since itin thought was linked with thine. Dora mia, Dora mi, Only love me as I love thee. No craven fear my bosom crost, I cared not ifthe race were lost ; So thou could'st look on me with pride For thee I'd willingly have died. Dora mia, Dora mi, Only love me as I love thee. But, thanks to Fate, the word's reversed, AndI can sing what I've rehearsed So often in the weary night, For thee I wia! for thee I fight ! Dora mia, Dora, mi, Only love me as I love thee. Then, as reward for every task Performed by thee, I only ask One single, simple glance of love From the bright eyes of my own Dove. Dora mia, Dora mi, Only love me as I love thee, The Queen's Speech. The following is an important part of the Queen's speech, at the opening of the Imperial Parliament : My. Lords and Gentlemen--We are cornmissioned to assure you that Her Majesty has great satisfaction in recurring again to the advice and as- sistance of her Parliament. Her Majesty is confident that you will share her feelings of gratitude to Almighty God on account of the Princess of Wales having given birth to ason, an event whic' has called forth from her people renewed demon- strations of devoted loyalty and attach- ment to ber person and family. _ The state of affairs on the continent of Europe has been the cause of great anxiety to Her Majesty, 'She death of the King of Denmark brought into immediate application the stipulations cf the treaty of May, 1852, concluded by the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of the French, the King of Prussia, the Emperor of Russia and the King of Sweden, and afterwards acceded to by the King of Hanover, the King of Saxony, the King of Wortemburg, the King of the Netherlands, the Queen of Spain, the Kng of Portugal and the King of Italy. That treaty declares that it is con- ducive to the preservation of the bal- ance of power and the peace of Eu rope, that the integrity of the Danish monarchy should be maintained, and that several territories which have bitherto been under the sway of the late King of Denmark should continue so to remain, and for this purpose it was agreed, that upon the death of the late King and his uncle, the Prince Frederick without issue, His Majesty King Christian should be acknow- ledged as succeeding to all the do- minions then united under the sceptre of His Majesty the King of Denm:rk. Her Majesty, actuated by the same desire to preserve the peace of Europe, which was one of the declared ob- jects of all the powers who were par- ties to that treaty, has been unremit- ting in her endeavors to bring to a peaceful settlement the differences which in this matter have arisen be- tween Denmark and Germany, and to avert the dangers which might follow from the beginning of warfare in the north of Europe, and Her Majesty will continue her efforts in the interest of peace. The barbarous murders and_ brutal assaults committed in Japan upon subjects of Her Majesty, render it ne- cessary that demands should be made upon the Japanese government and upon the Diamios, by whose retainers some of these outrages were com- mitted. The government of the Ty- coon complied with the demands made upon them by Her Majesty's government, and satisfaction having been made, the friendly relations be- tween the two governments have con- tinued unbroken; but the Diamio, Prince Satzuma, refusing to comply with the just and moderate demands which were made upon him, his re- fusal rendered measures of coercion necessary, and Her Majesty regrets that, while these measures have brought the Diamio to an agreement, they led incidentally to the des- traction of a considerable portion of the town of Kagosima. The pa- pers on this subject will be laid be- fore you. Tue Duke at a Sranp.--The late Duke of Wellington was very fond of field sports, and on one occasion a farmer's boy was ordered to keep a certain gate shut in order to prevent the many hunters who went that way from trampling down his master's crops. After he had been at the gate a short time, a gentleman came up and asked him to open it. '* No," said the* lad; "I was placed here to keep it shut." The gentleman be- came indignant and _ expostulated with the boy, remarking. ' Don't you know whol am? Iam the Duke of Wellington." The lad said he did not mind who he was, upon which the duke praised him for his firmness, and give him half a_ sovreign. Away ran the boy, skipping across the field, and shouting to every one whom he met," Ah I done more than what Bony could do; I have stopped the Duke of Wellington !" THE PROPER UsE.--A jolly and intelli- gent looking sailor, when asked what was the best use of liquor, said ; "They tell of the moderate use, the temper- ate use, the generous use; the genteel use of liquor; but after a long experi- ence, both on ship-board and shore, I can testify that the very best use of liquor is no use at all." THE ALL SUFFICIENT THREE, ~ The Great "American Remedies," Known as Helmbold's Genuine Preparations, viz : HELMBULD'S EXTRACT " BUCHU," m a SARSAPARILLA, - IMPROVED ROSE WASH. Helmbold's Genuine Preparation, " Highly Concentrated" Compound FLUIDEXTRA'T BUCHU, A Positive and Specific Remedy For Diseases of the Bladder, Kidneys, Gravel, Dropsical Swellings, This medicine increases the power of digestion and excites the .dbsorbents into healthy action, by which the watery or Calcerous depositions, and all unnatural enlargements are reduced, as well as pain and inflammation, and is good for MEN, WOMEN, OR CHILDREN. HELMBOLD'S EXTRACT BUCHU For Weakness arising from Excesses, Habits of Dissipation, Early Indiscretion, or Abuse, at- tended with the following symptoms : Indisposition to Exer- Dryness of the Skin, tion, Loss of Power, Loss of Memory, Difficulty of Breathing, Weak Nerves, Trembling, Horror of Disease, Wakefulness, Dimness of Vision, Pain in the back, Universal Lassitude of Flushing of the Body, the Muscular System Eruptions on the Face, Hot Hands, Patlid Countenance. These Symptoms, if allowed to go on, which this Medicine invariably removes, soon follow Impotency, Fatuity, Epileptic Fits, in one of which the patient may expire. Who can say they are not frequently followed by those direful diseases, Insanity and Consumption. Many are aware of the cause of their suffering, Sut none will confess. The records of the in- sane Assylums and the melancholy deaths by Ccn3umpt on, bear ample witness to the truth of the assertion. The Ucnstitution once affected with Organic Weakness, requires the aid of me- dicine to strengthen and invigorate the system, which Helmbold's Extract Buchu invariably does. A trial will convince the most skeptical. and FEMALES, FEMALES, FEMALES, Old or young, single, married, or contemplating marriage.
