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

Theranever 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 oo mp on of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN'S Carsicum Porovs 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 acure; 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 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. 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

ou want acertain cure, ask your druggist for

YR. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate B ocsy 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 PorROoUS PLA‘TER, 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.

CHRISTMAS POETRY.

ONIN SL OL ODPL OI Wwe ee

I Love to Greet Old Christmas.

I love to greet old Christmas, When the rime is on the bough, With his coronet of holly And the berries on his brow. W hat though the clinging igcles fang on his beard of snow, They li vanish in a twinkling Before the yule log’s glow.

{ love to greet old Christmas, When snow lies thick without, Or old King Frost comes nipping And biting all about; For then the ringing laughter Falls pleasant on the ear, And old friends gather round us To taste the season’s cheer. ‘

I love to greet old Christmas, If not for present joy,

At least for recollections That come without alloy.

A thousand hallowed memories Around his form are cast;

They link the sober present To the seasons that are past.

Temper.

There seems to be left at least one man who thinks that Solomon knew something about the management of children. This latter-day advocate of the rod is the editor of the Manufacturer, who says:—An uncon- trollable temper ina child is Mie fault of the parents, or of those who have in early years charge of-the training of achild. Ifa child gets into an angry passion no leniency should be exercised much less, indulgence in the child’s wishes. If a child, when failing to have things its own way, becomes passionately angry, this anger should at once be whipped out, no matter how young the child is; a child old enough to become angry can bear corporeal punishment, especially as it is impossible to reason with infants, they not having yet arrived at the age of reason, and only understand what they feel. We personally have whipped fits of passion out of our own children when they were scarcely one year old. Such passions, far from being objectionable in children, are desirable; proving as they do that there is spirit in them, only this lively spirit must be put under restraint, and when this is properly accomplished such children make the best men and women. Those very good children, with whonr parents and teachers never have any trouble, do not amount to much intellectu- ally, and seldom make their mark in after life. We noticed in school that the most troublesome boys, when well controlled, be- eame the best students in college and the men of mark afterward. We could name several who are now eminent men who were very mischievous boys at school, while most of the good boys have disappeared from public view.

Fits of passion are as contagious among boys as fainting fits are among girls: it is in this the same as with other bad examples. Hoping thai the reader will pardon a refer- ence to personal experience, we will relate the following:—

‘* When about eight or nine years old we remember very well having seen a few times a boy of our acquaintance, by falling into a fit of passion, similar to an attack of epi- lepsy, arouse the sympathy of his parents, who indulged him in what he wished and what he got into a fit of passion for. Ona suitable occasion we did the same thing— threw ourselves back in our chair, screamed and yelled, etc. Our father, who did not understand such nonsense, at once gave us the soundest thrashing we ever received, and we never got into a fit of passion again, and have since been always able to control ourselves, even when the provo- cation was strong. We must confess that we remember this act of our father with gratitude.”

When now we see any one exhibiting their anger we often say silently: ‘“‘If you had had the benefit of the thrashing which we got when a little boy you would have learned not to make a fool of yourself now.

President MacMahon has agreed to all M. Dufaure’s conditions, and a Parliament- ary Ministry has been formed with the fol- lowing members:—MM. Dufaure, DeMar- cere, Waddington, Bardoux, Leon Say, Teisserenc de Bort, Defreycinet, General Borle and Admiral Pothnan. A eorres- pondent asserts that a Batbie Cabinet was formed on Wednesday, but that the Presi- deng on being persuaded that the course in- tended to be pursued was illegal, wrote out his resignation and declared he would never sec the Duc de Broglie again. He then re- sumed negotiations with M. Dufaure, whose Cabinet has been accepted.

NO 187,

| Stanley at the End of His Journey

STANLEY, at the close of an address deliy- ered at a dinner to his honor at Capetown, referring to the last of his adventures, said :

Rum was demanded, but of course we had none, I only wished we had, for my people were worn out and famished, and a little rum would have cheered us up, and made us feel we were approaching civilization. (Laughter.) The chief refused to allow us to pass unless we gave him rum, and came and sat down in a big chair, with the smaller chiefs around him, and put on all the dignity imaginable. I called my faithful Ouladi, the coxswain, and said.to him, ‘‘Do you know what this man wants?’ He replied, ‘‘No, master.” | said, ‘“‘He wants rum.” ‘That's rum,” he said, and thereupon gave the King a clout in the face, and he tumbled over and all his dignity with him, and that settled the question. (Loud laughter.) There was not anothe: word said, good, bad, or indifferent, and the rume drinking business was nipped in the bud by Ouladi, who settled the matter completely to my satisiaction. The old chief got up, rubbed his cheek, and said it was an awfully hard blow, but allowed us to pass along. Mr. Stans ley went en to say that three days from Boma the condition of his people was desperate; they were on the brink of starvation. He selected three of his strongest and best young men, and sent them on to Boma with a request for rice and fish, and a few baskets of other food. His people were rejoiced at getting near the end of their journey, and tried to keep up their spir- its. ‘They said, ‘‘Oh, master, we will tie our clothes tightly around our waists, so that we shall forget our hunger, and we will walk and walk until we see the white man.” But he believed that few of them thought that they would see the white man. They were settling down to solemn despair thirty miles from Boma, starvation was staring them in the face, and many of this peo- ple could not have lasted much Ydonger. -Sud- denly the cry was raised, ‘‘Oh, master, here are lots of men coming; lots of clothes and lots of food.” And indeed it was so. The men had reached Boma, and without delay a relief party was sent with fish and rice and every- thing that was required. His men furiously rushed at the fish, and did not want to cook it, There was for him a small parcel of dainties, and beer, wine and champagne. The pots were placed ou the fire, the rice was cooked, and the lives of the people were saved. Mr. Stanley described how the rags of his men, venerable relics of that great march through Africa, were replaced with clothes, how a joy- ous party came out to receive him from Mom- ba, how splendidly he was received by the Portuguese, how he reached St. Paul de Lo- ando, and from there came on by the “ Indus- try” to the Cape. He had great doubts, as he told the commander of the ‘‘ Industry,” whether the people of the Cape of Good Hope had ever heard of Stanley, and he was perfect* ly astonished on his arrival in Simon's Bay to be received by the aide-de-camp of the oflicer in command of the naval forces with an invita- tion to be Commodore Sullivan’s guest during the stay in Simon’s Bay. He thought this ex- traordinary, but after he came on shore and saw the face of the Commodore, he ceased to doubt. ‘There was a cordial geniality and gen- uine hospitality in all that Commodore Sulli- van did (cheers); at the fervent grasp of the hand with which he was received, he felt at once that he was in the presence of a true Eing- lishman. Cheers.) What Commodore Sul. livan had done Mrs. Sullivan seconded. She had been as a mother to his people and as a friend to himself. If he deserved any thanks from those present, he should ask them to give three cheers for Commodore Sullivan and Mrs. Sullivan (cheers). What Mrs. Sullivan had done in Simon’s ‘Town Lady Frere had done in Cape Town (cheers). To Sir Bartle Frere he owed a deep debt of gratitude, for on three dif. ferent occasions His Excellency had come for- ward in his defence. In the absence of Sir Bartle the honors of Government House had been dispensed most generously by Lady Frere, (Cheers.) His people would never forget Government House at the Cape of Good Hope,
