‘IT have it pow. Fred wrote me about the family. They havetsken a place near Castleton. I ought to have Meredith's letter somewhere.’

After a ‘ittle search, Charlie found the letter, and, glanciaz over it, crm: to this:

‘The people who have bought Ii zleden have come; thcy area strange set. ‘ Hun- ‘ingdon-Smith’ is the name (be very par ticular ubout the hyphen); the head of the house is Mrs. H-S., a Rom in-nosed | mitron, with a passionate desire to be- come one of the county. The mile H.-S. is a very jolly oli boy; a little,round ehap, with as susoy a uature as uny chi'd, They have a diughter—a splendid-looking girl, but a perfect iceberg; a girl who chills one at once, her very act is so cold and studied, as expressionless as if she were a piece of clockwork. ‘They have another dauz'iter, too, | believe, but she’s at school.

Mr Custleton cin’t stand ‘the grey mare.’ | ‘Jick Sinnick has a story about them?!

Smith was a grocer in London, and had av eller brother ia the North, with lots of tio. Mrs. S. had dropped the odious ‘Smith,’ bus by the clder brother’s will his mouvey was left to Smith ouly on cons dition he resumed the name. ‘The fors tuue was too big to be refased, so they fiid to resoime the ‘Smith;’ but Mrs. 1.8. insists on the hyphen, snd wishes it to be knowa that the Smith is there only ‘fora fortune.’

HEN’S ALL-WOGL FLANNSL SHIRTS,!

The Greatest Medical Diseovery 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 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 CArstcum Pororvs 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 bs worn continually to effect a cure; but with t!ese it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant ono is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested an:l 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, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. Metvin’s CArsicum Porous PLASTERS, aud their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rhenmatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orlinimeut. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want aceriain eure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELYIN’S CapsicuM Porous PLASTER, You ean hardly believe yvourown 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, aa it ia free from Jead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ¢f ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to vour friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSt- cum Porous PLASren, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, 81 for five, or €2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, te any address in the United States or Canadas,
