“John, don’t doit!” And the young: wife looked up, anxiously and pleading-| ly to her husband, who, with overcoat) on arm and lantern in hand, stood ready | to leave her. i

‘But, Mate,’ (his pet name ior Mary),| ‘think of the responsibility resting upon me. Tom Fisher, my foreman, you know—was just here, and told me the, train was heavy to-night, and more} than usually crowded, as none had run for a week.’ ee

‘What does that matier to you, John 4 It isn’t your regular run, and you will make the striking men mad, and there, will certainly be an accident, even if’, you do not get shot at, and escape bod-| ily harm.’ |

‘But somebody has got to go, Mate. and the superintendent sent for me. [ haven’t an enemy that I know of—the | boys all like John Malcom, and the’ coinpany think I can go safer than any one else.

‘Yet, if anything should happen,’ what would become of me, John?’

‘IT have never yet shirked my daty,| have always been lucky in my runs,and | wouldn't have ‘coward’ tacked to my | name forall the rolling steck on the) road, and the wealth of the directors to| boot.’

The ‘little one,’ as John Malcom fre- quently called her, looked up proudly to her stalwart husband for a moment;| but womanly fears, wifely love and | mother’s anxiety conquered, and she) continued.

‘And just as we are happy and com-| fortable in a house of our own, and out of debt for the first time, John. Only| think if you shoul be bronght home in-| jured—if you should be brought home| dead! Oh Johnit would kill me,” and} with subdued exclamation of horror at) the picture her braia had conjured up, she sank into a chair and covered her eyes.

“Mate, my dear little one,’’ he said, kneeling beside her, putting a strong arm around her waist, and taking her little trembling hand within his own; «Mate do not entirely unman me. God knows how gladly I would stay with you. Bat duty calls me, and [ cannot turn a deaf ear.’

‘Duty, John? Would you weigh that against love?’

‘Notagainst such love as I bear you, my littleone. But think how you, how I, would feel if the train should be wrecked because 1 was not on the en- gine, and perhaps huedreds of lives Jost.

‘ And yours, John?’ she replied, try- ing to look at him through her tzars.

‘I have always to take that chance,’ he said faltering. ‘Bat I have little fear of danger. I think far more of the women and poor little children that will be on board, whirling through the dark- ness, than anything else.’

A subtle flash sparkled in her eyes as she arose, passed to another room, and quickly returning, laid in bis armsa deautiful babe of scarcely a year old.

‘Great heaven!’ groaned the strong man trembling and turning pale, ‘ this is too much,’ and he hugged his darling to his heart, bent over it and wept like a little child.

In storm and darkness, when the winds were wild, the lightning ‘ paint- ing hell upon the sky ;’ when thunder shook the solid earth, through the hor- rors of exploding engine, the crushing, splintering, burniog, cars; when the track was red with human blood and crowded with mangled human forms, he had passed with unshaken nerves, though blanched face, and never hesi- tated in doing his duty, no matter how dangerous the consequences. But now he was unstrung, hesitated, with will almost paralyzed. It was taking an unfair advantage of a loving husband and father—oue whose manly heart idolized wife and child, for whose sake toil was sweet.

‘Heaven help me!’ he murmured. ‘1 do not know what to do. Very many lives may hang on my going or not going, and we have not means enough to live without my pay. The hard winter will soon be upon us, and the fierce, black throated wolves of hunger and cold howl around our door. Qh, that we were rich—only rich.’

It was the mournful cry of thousands out of work, with want staring them in the face, with hunger gnawing at their vitals, with death standing a little way off, grinning, gibbing and beckoning with his skeleton hands..

‘Kiss the baby, John. Now kiss me,’ said the young wife, as he took the infant from his arms and i../1it up,

with sudden : 0 solution.

Hor request being complied with, she placed ihe child again in its cradle, tucked; it in carefully, indulged her warm and true mother’s heart in kisses; then returned to her husbaod, took a seat upon his knee, wound her soft,

from beneath qi ivering lids and through lashes heavily diamonded with tears.

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 heale 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 Carstcum Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, te 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 aecure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as @ 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 cures 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 acertain eure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTER. You can hardly believe yonrown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can 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 manutacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will ¢7U1 hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MreLyrn’s CAPst- cUM PoROUS PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 ceuts 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,

CATARES. 1H; 7 Uatarrh Remedy CURES € sv & PO EP RA Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the

Constitutional & hn BR Ble Constitutional Re.ediy.

T. J. B. Harvinc, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

Dear Srr—It is now two years since your “Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. Ihave waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent betore 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 | suspected it to be Catarrn. In-reading in your Circular I saw my case 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 io sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before [ 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 head.

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see. proper. Yours truiy,

W. ‘TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
