The Effect of a Smile.
An*editor tells this story : An aunt of ours concluded to try the effect of a leasant smile and a kind word upon fre husband when he returned from his work. She had read how a home should be pleasant, and the wife should always meet her husband with a joyful smile. The had is best given in the shape of the dialogue.
[Enter husband, almost exhausted, and very hungry withal ; throws his hat on the floor and drops heavily into a seat. Wife, preparing tea, looks uy with a smile, and is glad to see him. |
Wife —Well, my dear, it is so nice t have you here at meal-time. [A long smile. ] .
Husband—Yes, I suppose so.
Wife—How has your business pros- pered to-day ? [Another smile. ]
Husband—About so-se.
Wife—Come my dear, supper is ready; let me draw up your chair./ [ Another smile. ]
Husband, gruttly—I am too tired to stir, Wait till 1 warm my feet.
Wife—Do as you choose, my dear. f Another smile. ]
Husband—Look o’ here, old woman ; before any more fuss is about it, I should like to know you are grinning at.
Aunt sighed and relinquished her sweet smile from thatday. Uncle was not one of the romantic sort, and didn’t understand such things.

An Awful Warning.
A man out in Barlington, the L/awh- eye says, had reason to believe that his superintendent of cu/s‘ne was in the habit of using kerosene to start the morning fires. He placed his suspicions in the form of a charge, which was indignantly denied, and proof demanded. He wasn’t ready with his testimony and the case was dismissed for lack of cvidence. But his suspicions increased, and he ordered a secret investigation and appointed him- self chairman of the committee, with power to send for persons and papers, He laid his plans with care, and the next morving he followed his maid-servant Gown stuirs at a carefal respectful dis- tance, and hid himself near the kitchen door, where he could not see nor be scen, while he could hear very distinctly what- ever was said or done. The rustle of paper And the rattle of dry, light wood was succeeded by hasty steps toward the closet in the cellar way. Then he heard the gurgling of a liquid, as though it was Lubling out of a small tin spout. He heard the can set down, andthen the scrape of a match.
‘“H’m,”’ he heard the maid-servant re- mark. Then another match snapped and a barely audible fizzle ensued. Grimly smiled the silent man by the outer door.
“H’m,”’ remarked the maid-servant a little petulantly. Another match snapped and blazed up. Another sound as of siz- zling. The smile on the face of the man deepened into a grin.
“Well, I never did!’’ came from the kitchen, and there was heard the sound of more pouring on the light wood. An® ether match and more silence.
“Well, did you ever?” queried the queen of the range, evidently anxious to obtain testimony corroborative of her own experience, as set forth in her pre- vious statement that she never did. The man sitting outside the door throttled himself with both hands and softly pounded the ground with his heels. Something evidently excited him, and when the next match snapped he caught himself by the legs and bit fiercely into the corner of the door frame in a frenzied effort to smother a groan.
“The old seratch is in the oil, I do be- lieve,’ said a troubled voice from the kitchen, and more pouring ensued. An other match, another, another. And the man crawled off behind the cistern-box and hugged his knees with many insane expressions and silent demonstrations of interest, when he heard the angry voice in the kitchen say:
“Plague on such oi]! I'd like to pour it all down Will Darling’s back !”
Another match, and then a confused

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 different diseases has deen 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. MELYVIN’S CAPSICUM 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 a cure; 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 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 you yrant a certain cure, ask your druggist for
R. 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 person to wear, as it is

out into the yard and kicked an oil can after it. The smiling man crept. back up stairs unseen. Breakfast was late that morning, aud when the queen of the kitchen was asked the cause therefor, she said somebody had left the shed door open and all the light wood was damp. And no man that ever filled an oil can with non-explosive cistern water ever look half so innocent as the man who sat at the head of that table choking over a graham muffis.
