What heartfelt joy that mother had.
As lie, her ton, passed in the door!

Both of these gentlemen say, that for
painful ailments in horses, such as cuts,
bruises, swellings, lameness, stiffness,
Ft. Jacobs Oil is superior to anything
they have ever used or heard of. This
is also the opinion of Prof. David Ro¬
barge, tho celebrated horse-slioer of the
metropolis, and thousands of stock
owners throughout the country. Asa

Oil has no equal. Mr. Priest recites the
case of a valuable trotter, so stiff from

inch. By one, thorough application of
St. Jacobs Oil at night, the animal was
completely cured, and was fat for the
race-track the ucyxt day.
The Worship of the Drum.
A writer in a contemporary speaks of
the extensive prevalence at one time of
the worship of the dram or rattle. Sav¬
age people have a singular tendency to
venerate whatever makes a noise. The
great seat of drum worship was South
America. Even at the present day it is
found in full vitality in the interior of
Brazil; but a hundred years ago it could
he said that “the drum was the only ob¬
ject of worship from the Orinoco to the
La Plata.” This is two-thirds of South
America, and, as it is more than proba¬
ble that Patagonia should be added too,
this would make the area of the practice
nearly co-equal with that of tho conti¬
nent,’ In former times drum worship
also prevailed in Lapland.
