Next morning, thanks to the un- gracious weather, he was aroused by sciatic tortures. To an elderly gentle- man, newly betrothed to a blooming lady greatly his junior, such ao awaken- ing was peculiarly trying. He thoughi ruefully of the early visit he had promised Miss Vance. Should these pains increase, he must defer it indefin- itely, or limp into her presence on crutches—an alternative too suggest- ive of advancing age. Flattered as he was by the widow’s acceptance, he could not deny that it placed him in a position in some respects irksome. It admonished him that he had no furthe: right to infirmities; that henceforth it was his bounden duty to be as young as he could. The reflection wearied him; the clutching pain wearied him. Mrs Dubbs afterward said she had never seen him so nearly out of sorts as on that evening when she took in his mail. Among the letters was one that eaught his eye at once.

‘“Dezar Frrenv” (it ran),—‘‘My poor tired father is at rest. He was seized with paralysis the morning after you left us, and passed away painlessly in a few hours. How little I ex-

easily on the closed Bible. What a redicament Must he thrust back upon live this gift for which he had so

lately sued ? Must he thus humble her? He writhed at the thought. Must he thsu humble himself? Bitterer than all, must he relinquish this tried friend of a lifetime? Having reached life’s autumn, must he reject its mature and appropri- ate fruits for the rhubarb and greens of spring-time? Alas! yes he must fulfil his engagement, for was he not an ‘honorable man?’ He would write at once to Olive a candid statement of the case.

But as he idled at his desk on the morrow Mr. Torey came to ask the loan of a horse till his own should be in running order, and the deacon laid

Feeling that he ought to tell his brother-in-law of his contemplated mar riage, at dinner he led the conversation back to the Conference and Mrs. Vance.

‘ By-the way, 1 met the widow this morning riding with John Vance,’ re- marked Mr. Torrey, casually. ‘ You remember him—the brother next to Charles ? He’s just come home from

‘Ah?

‘Yes. Shouldn’t wonder if he took the widow. Somesay they're enguged already.’

Of course the deacon knew better than that; nevertheless, he delayed his tender confession. And he did not write the letter. Time enough for that after ne had paid Mrs. Vance the pro- mised visit. The latter lady had cer tainiy the first claim upon his atten tions,

Unfortunately several days of tor- menting pain ensued, during which the deacon’s patience was put to a pretty severe test ; but he was at least able to seek the object of his hasty choice. He found her in her door-yard playing croquet with a tall, well-dressed gentle- man.

‘So happy to see you, Deacon Phenix!’ cried she, with voluble em- barrassment, ‘and so glad to introduce Mr. Vance, dear Charles’s brother. Do come in.’

‘I hope my tardy coming does not seem discourteous, Mrs. Vance,’ said he, with affable formality, while the stranger hastened to a suddenly re- called engagement. ‘I have not——’

‘ No—oh no,’broke in the widow, nervously.

‘I have not been well. our present interesting relations

‘Oh, Mr Phenix !’ interrupted she, throwin herself upon a cricket at his feet. ‘Do you know, I am so afraid I am‘not the one to make you happy ? And my friends say that the discrep- ancy in our ages is so great. Onght I > marry against their wishes ?’

‘You must decide that question, dear madam,’ responded the deacon, with suppressed eagerne-s. The finger of Providence was in this. He Lold his breath to make sure which way it pointed.

‘Then, if you don’t mind very much, Deacon Phenix, perhaps it would be’ better for us to part as friends. Oh dear! Ihope you'll forgive me if I havo done anything wrong.’

The deacon hardly heard the closing sentence for the glad beating of his heart. ‘My dearchild, you have done quite right. Ido not reproach you,’ he said, with a smile of intinite benevo- lence. ‘ It is natural that youth should

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

Thero never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an er fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s Capsicum Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action. and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied tke patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well kvow the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan-

e3 in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, couvineced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELvin’s CArsicuM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, = in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

T. J. B. Harprne, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :— Dear Sin—It is now two years since your ‘Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to be true.” I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my ¢ase described in many par ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop’ from the head had become .very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent _cameto Walkertownin August, 1876, Lsecured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of

| that ailment, and have not used any since until

of late I have taken some for a cold in my }:zad. | A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, ane ts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make ‘what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truly, W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister. Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878.
