An Appeal for the Deaf Mute.

Deaf ! Not a murmur or a loving word | Can ever reach his ear. Theragingsea, | The pealing thunder, and the cannon’s roar } To him are silent—silent as the grave. Not quite; for, ever, when God takes away He gives in other shape. The tramp of feet, The, crash of falling things, the waves of | sound Strike on a deaf man’s feelings with a force To us unknown. Vibrations of the air Play through his frame, on sympathetic . herves Like fine-strung instruments of varied tone.

Dumb ! Not a murmur or a loving word. Can ever pass his lips. The cry of rage, The voice of friendship, and the vows of love Freeze on his tongue, so impotent of sound.

But deem not that intelligence is null

In that doomed mortal. Gaze upon his eye

A speaking eye !—an eye that seems to hear

E’en by observing, and that gathers more

From flickering lights and shadows of a face

Than duller minds can gain from spoken words.

The age of miracles hath past ; but man

Cau summon art and science to his aid,

And cause the faculties of sight and touch

To act imperfectly for speech and ear.

The deaf-mute seems by Nature formed to be

A delicate artificer, and skilled

In subtle operations of the hand.

He can be taught to reap, and thus to learn

The story of the Present or the Past,

Or by quick signs to share his inmost thoughts

Chiefly of those whom he yearneth most,

His fellow suff’rers |! Nay, it sometimes haps

That men like Kitto, ’reft of senses twain,

Have, by their lore, electrified the world,

And won the crown of literary fame.

Spare not your gifts, ye wealthy of the land,

T» these afflicted brethern. Ye to whon

Heav’n grants that sweetest of all blessings, health,

And the keen joys of each corporeal sense,

Aid those to whom these blessings are de- nied,

And shed some sunshine o’er their g lives.

Let us all tread as closely as we can,

In the blest foorprints of that Holy One

Who went about forever doing good,

Making the dumb to speak, the deaf to hear. en

Cheerfulness.

Along with humility we should culti- vave cheerfulness. Humility has no con- nection w.th pensive melancholy or timor- ous dejection. While the truly humble guard against the distraction of all violent passions and inordinate cares, they cherish a cheerful disposition of mind. There cannot, indeed, be genuine cherfulness without the approbation of our heart. While, however, we pay a sacred regard to conscience, it must be enlightened und directed by reason and revelation, And happy are the individuals who can say, “our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that, ia simplicity and godly sincerity, we have had our conver- sation in the world.’? An approving mind will contribute greatly to cheerfulness, and that equanimity which results from it, from trust in God, and from the hope of a blessed immortality, is equally re- mote from sour dissatisfaction, despond- ing melancholy, and frivolous hilarity. It smooths our path and sweetens our cup, rendering duty easy and affliction light.

INA PORCUSEASERS

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the

Commencement of the Christian Mra.

There 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 undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’s CAPsicuM Porovts 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 effeet a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughiy tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or Jess used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain 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 Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you ean rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPsI- cuM Porows PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,
