* Dont Smoke Where Canary Is.

A city gentleman has a beautiful canary “bird, which has been kept for some time in his reading-room, as he gentleman was very fond of hearing

the bird sing. Now, it so happened that the canary’s cage hung just above the chair in which the gentleman used to sit and smoke. As time wore on it was noticed that the bird ceased to sing altogether. Finally, one day the bird was observed wildly endeavouring to keep his perch, and floundering about the cage as though dizzy and very weak. It occurred to the gentleman and his wife that perhaps the tobacco smoke might have something to do with the bird’s strange behavior, and it was taken into another room. The muve air scemed te have a good effect. ™ a day or two it was heard singing, though in a weak and tremulous voice. After a week had gone by it began to] send forth notes of purity and clearness, and at the end of a fortnight it was itself again.

Macaulay’s Love for Children.

It is one thing to be fond of children, and another never to get tired of them ; aod Macaulay, Hannah says, was one of those who never got tired. He often spevt the whole morning at her home playiog with the children, and then after Juncheon carried one of them off for a long walk. But the great treats for him, as well as for them, were the excursions into the city to seethe shows. These did not come often enough to suit either him or the chiidren—twice a week is suid to have been the average he would have liked—and they used to last till the lirtle ones, to use his own expression, ‘could not drag one leg after the other.’ The afternoon's diversions began with a boup- tiful luncheon iu London, to which Mac- anlay always added some knickknack for which the children had an especial con- tempt, for the pleasure of seeing them reject it with scorn. The afternoon's sights were the lious and bears, the pano- ramas and the wax-works, or even the British Museum. One day he tells their mother in a letter how, all the other exhibitions being exhausted, he took the children to the National Gallery, aud how while Charley and Margaret played the conuoisseur, Georgy said, bonestly, ‘ Let ms go; there is nothing here that I care for at all; and again, ‘1 don’t call this seeing sights; I have seen no sights to- day.’ All of which seems to have amused Macaulay greatly. The elaborate process of sending a vulentine to his little niece Alice is recorded at length in his diary. February 12 he buys a superb shect of paper and writes the valentine. February 13 he sends it off to his sister Fanny at Brighton to be forwarded. February 14 the whole entry of the day is about the valentine; how Fanny came at three with the children, Alice io perfect raptures, and begging quite pathetically to be told the truth about it. When they were alone together—the little Witch—she was go- ing to be very serious, and down she goes on her bended kuees, lifting up her hands in supplication ;: ‘ Dear uncle, do tell the truth to your little girl. Did you seaod the valentine?’ And theo he had toown it. Macaulay would do almost anything to please his favourites ; he even tried to like their dogs, and dogs he was not fond of. In one place in his diary he de- pounces the avimals as ‘a beast that is always spoiling conversation.’ But when the dog was a pet of the chil- dren, that was another matter, and he bought thingsfor him at the shops, und made poetry about it to an extent which made the children happy, if it had no par- ticular effect upon the dog. When he was busy upon the second instaliment of his history, he would spend some precious time in inserting a gold piece in the seal Of a letter to his nephew George, so that it might slip past the post-office authorities, and would transmit it with the casual re- mark that while thebest part of a lady’s letter was in the postscript, the best part of an uocle’s was in the seal. One day, coming out from collection of pictures, be saw a more delightful picture, he suys, thanany there. It was four pretty little sisters, from eleven to six years old, rid- ing in a donkey-cart in a deep shady lane, and quite beside themselver with delight at the treat. They were laughing and singing ion a way that almo*t made him cry with a sease of the beautiful, and when he asked them to go on they sang like little

The Greatest Medical Diseevery 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 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 acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applicd 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, MrLvin’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribs 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 druggist for

R. MELYIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects, Ithough powerful) and — in its action, you can rely on its safety or the most delicate person 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 seli hundreds to your friends. .

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPsI- ovum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 fora en, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
