Inside and Outside. AUTHOR UNKNOWN. Rosy and warm the firelight falls In the rich man’s home to-night,

On the pictures hanging against the walls, And the children’s faces bright. , Uhey have parted the curtam:s crimson field

Away from the window high, a And their eves lock out at the whirling show, Lod the dull and stormy sky

‘he dainty garments are rich and rare, Their faces are fair to see, {s bright as a crown might be. And many a stranger stops to smile At the picture warm and _bright,- The beautiful children looking out On the dark and wintry night.

With tattered garments and faces thin, Abroad in the bitter eold,

The poor man’s children are looking in Through the curtain’s crimson fold.

The bleak wind tosses their rags in scorn, Their feet are aching and bare,

While they gaze at the beauty and warmth

within. And the children’s faces fair.

{ think, as [ hasten along the street, Of the beautiful home above,

Where the rich and poor alike will meet, And share in the F'ather’s love.

fhe Lord will open the shining door, And gather his dear ones in,—

The rich with their soft and dainty robes, And the poor with their garments thin.

Cheer Up! oe.

Cheer up | What though the trees be bare, And what though brown the meadows,

And what though chill be all the air, And dark with winter’s shadows ?

The trees again will soon be green, The meadows soon be blooming,

And soon this dark, chill air, the sun Again will be illuming.

iI.

Cheer up | What though upon the ear. Unwelcome sounds are falling. Another voice ye soon shall hear From out the future calling : A voice of hope—a voice of joy Which, softened though by sorrow, Steals sweetly up, o'er fields of green, Where flowers shall bloom to-morrow.

iL.

Cheez up : Though still the heavens are dark And still the earth is dreary,

Each meadow soon shall hear its lark, | Each grove shall soon be cheery ;

And for the hearts that feel no ray Within them shine, or o’er them,

There’s as bright a light behind the clouds As ever shone before them.

HARD ON THE CAPTAIN.

Captain Ben Marcy was a retired ship- master. I never saw but one other man looking at all like him, and that was his brother, a boatswain’s mate in the United States navy, named Bill Marey. Captain Ben was simply a picce of jerked, dried aod pickled humanity. He was as though he had been hung up in the hot sun until all the juices cf his system had been evap- oreted; the skin hardened, toughened and tanned, and nothing left to burden the frame of bones but muscle and tendon and the absolute requisites of animal life. The parchment like skin hung in great folds under his little deep-set eyes, and abont his jaws; his crisp, coarse hair of a mottled gray, stood out from his head Jike the quiils upon a hedgehog, and the gait ahd entire motion of the embrined veteran was like unto the wadd!e of the antiquated duck upon dry land,

Well, Captain Ben had retired from the sea with a competence, determined to spend the cvening of his days in quiet enjoyment of entire inndependence. He hud no wife—no family of any kind) besides the servants—and the only com- panion that he took to share his medi~ gations was a large Mozambique monkey, which he had himself euptured in its native Yorest, and raised from infaney. He called the monkey “ Admiral,’”’ and kept him clad in a respectable garb—a sort of undress uniform, such as a naval officer might wear, and the admiral liked the dress, He had become proud, and seemed to fully realize that next to his master he was the most important being on the place, and he assumed airs accords ingly.

One day a neighbor seat to the Captain a basket of choice fruit, accompanied bya note, the fbearer being a brother of the colored persuasion, about as black and glossy as they make them. The darkey had turned his face homeward when he chanced to meet the Captain, whom he had looked for in vain.

“Hi! you black raseal! what ye doin’ here ?”? demanded Captain Ben.

“Ah yah! Mas’r Cap'n I’s been gone an’ fotehed ye ober a lot of peaches, pears an’ plums, and sich.”

‘Well, where are they ?”

“Why, yer see, Mas’r, I couldn’t see ye, 80 I give um to yer bruver, jes baek here a piece.”

‘My brother! [haven't got any broth-./ Five per Ceat. on or before the Hieventh day

er, you black rascal!

“Oh golly! Mas'r Cap'n, I didn't know for sartin. I spects dev, he was ye son. He looked nuff like yer. de Lord, I didn't know "t ye had a boy so old —"

————

The darkey did not finish the sentence. Seeing the old sailor “preparing for acs tion,” he cleared the coop, while Captain Ben grining in spite of his wrath, went on to find the Admiral curled up beneath a sheltering arbor, enjoying a feast fit for a king.

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

There never has been a time wher the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been eaused 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. MELYIN’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 instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly 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 adyan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed 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 acertain cure, ask your diuggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CapsicuM Porous PLASTER, You can hardly believe your own 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 ig free* from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordjn- 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. MeLyry’s CApsi- cUM Porous 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, te any address in the United States or Canadas,
