BE MERRY WHILE YOU MAY.

Soe noe

i

“There is a crook in every lot,¥ A shadow on the road

Through which we journey on to reach A happier abode.

As surely as the evening comes To close the eyes of day,

Will grief appear; and so my dear, Be merry while you may.

We cannot say to joy, * Remain,” Nor unto grief, ‘‘ Depart ;”

The morning and the night must come To every human heart.

And though the twilight hour dispels The cheerful, sunny rays,

Shed not a tear; but oh ! my dear, Be merry while you may.

The sky may not be always bright, The sea not always calm,

Nor breezes bring an argosy Of spices or of balm.

"Tis time enough to weep and mourn When sorrow has its day ;

And you'll agree ‘tis well to be Right merry while we may.

Along the shoves of life the tides Have ceaseless ebb and flow; And throngh the year the seasons have Their time to come and go. e Then let us make the best of life, Aud if not always gay Of fall of glee, why shouldn't we Be merry while we may?

“EDWARD BROWN, STOXER.

“Now, my lass,” I says, “ guick "— and I raised her up—* hold ou by the side while 1 make a rope fast around you.”

Aod when I stood up to hail the boat —the bout warn’t there, for in those briet moments she must have capsized, and we were alone in the sioking steamer, which now lay in the trough of the sea.

As svon as I got over the horror of the feeling, a sort of stony despair came over me; but when I saw that pale, appeuliog face at my side, lookiog to me for help, that brought the manhood back, and iu saying encouraging things to her [ did myself good.

My first idea was to make something that would fiat us, but I gave up that direetly, for I could feel that L was help- less; and getting the poor girl more into shelter, I took a bit of tobacco in a sort of stolid way, and sit down with a cork life- buoy over my arm, one which I had cut loose from where it had hung forgo.ten behind the wheel,

But | never used it, for the storm went down fast, and the steamer floated still, water-logged for three days, whea we were picked up Ly a passing vessel, half starved, bat hopieg. And duriwg that time my companion bad told me that she was the atteodant of one of the lady pas- seagers on board; and at last, when we parted at the Cape, she kissed my hand and called me her hero, who had saved her life—poor grimy me, you kuow.

We warn’t loug, though, before we met agiin, for somehow we’d settled that we d write; aod, a twelve month after, Mary was buck to Eogland, and my wife. That’s why I suid [ took her like out of the hands of death, though in a selfish sort of way, being far, you know, from perfect.

(CAPSICUM

A

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

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many dilferent 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 CarsicuM 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 plasiers are slow of action. and require to be worn continually to effect acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel ils effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know 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- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MrLvin’s CAPSICUM Porous PLAsTurs, 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 can rely on its safety fo. the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- arv plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends,

Ask your druggist for DR. MrLvin’s Capsi- cuUM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one. $1 for five, or $2 fora Tao, they will be mailed, post paid, te any address in the United States or Canadas.
