GLADSTONE.

His light is quenchless, though his sun has set; The torch he bore aloft is still ablaze ; And, though he wears no jewell’d coronet, He’s crown’d for ever With a nation’s praise, ’Twas he who boldly entered in the fight With caste, and pomp, and prejudice, and pride, And with a hero’s heart and giant’s might, Burst Serfdom’s gates and flung them open wide. The “ masses,” not the “ classes,” was his choice — He ever made the peoples’ cause his own ; And yet, with facile pen and fluent voice, He was the foremost to defend the throne. Sprung from that brave and gallant little land Whose sons gave proof in many a stirring strife, With flashing claymore in each strong right hand, That they loved liberty far more than life, He treasured the tradicions of his race, And fought for freedom to the very end. Who is there now can fill the honor’d place Of England’s lover and of Ireland’s friend 7 When some true scribe shall tell, in coming years. Of Gladstone’s deeds, on the recording page He’ll place him over Commoners and Peers— The best and greatest statesman of the age. Thomas Bracken.

Holloway’s Pills and Ointment.— Rheumatism and Gout.—These’..purifying and soothing remedies deserve the earnest attention of all persons liable to gout, sciatica, or other painful affections of the muscles, nerves, or joints. ■ The Ointment should be applied after the affected parts have been patiently fomented with warm water, when the Ointment should be diligently rubbed upon the adjacent skin, unless the friction causes pain. Holloway’s Pills should be simultaneously taken to diminish pain, reduce inflammation, and pqrify the blood. This treatment abates the violence, and lessens the frequency qf gout, rheumatism, and all spasmodic diseases which spring from hereditary predisposition, or from any accidental weakness of constitution. The Ointment checks the local malady while the Pills restore vital power.
