What's this PLYMOUTH ? What’s this PLYMOUTH ?

THE AGE OF CHARACTER.

“The eighteen-eighties were a remarkable period in the history of the English people. They were wliat we might call ‘ vintage, years ’ in English character. About this time there were living in England—contemporaries with one another—Gladstone, Tennyson, Disraeli, Carlyle, Ruskin, Browning, Huxley, Henry Irving, AV. G. Grace, Gilbert, Sullivan, Newman, .Manning, Alatthew Arnold, Spurgeon. 1 Addon; and Darwin. These names — aiul several more could bo added — stand for a considerable amount of accomplishment and capacity. But still more, they stood for character. And when these men were all alive, not only they, hut the very houses in which they lived —Ha warden, Hughenden. Collision, Cheviie Row, and so on were as familiar as household names, the country became intensely conscious of them, just as, I suppose, the people who live on the plain around Stonehenge are conscious of that circle of monuments towering up into the sky.” Mr. Haslam Afills, in tlic “ Christian World.”

Children like Wade’s Worm Figs. A safe and certain remedy for worms. Pleasant to take. All chemists and stores.—Advt.
