No? Did you eves see a boy perform the feat in the street ? His head and shoulders above men. How he looks down on them! But with all his self- complacency, he lackssomething. He is not steady in his gait. The boy whose feet are on the ground does not shake and totter as he does. And the
lesson may be learned by well-grown boys, in debates, Giscussions, eloquent orations, and other products of human intellect. You may deem yourself a viant, dear friend, when you are only on silts: and really be weaker, than the next man whose soles touch the oil, and who keeps close to reality. i cisaiaihditht

and joy which are the inheritence of the children of God. Who has ever heard a Christian man say that he was disappointed in Christ, or did not find Him the precious and perfect Saviour he had believed Him to be? Ask whether he has found the promises fulfilled, and there will come from his heart and lips the adoring confession of the Apostle. «‘ He is faithful that pro- mised,” and ‘all the promises 01 God in Him are ye,and in him, Amen.’ Ask the man of the world if he has found hap- piness in excitement, in wealth, in honor and ambition, and he will frankly tell you, with a sigh, ‘Vanity of vani- ties, all is vanity.’ The confession is like a moan of the abyss campared to the song of praise; “rreat and marvel- lous are Thy works, Lord God Al- mighty; just and trne are Thy ways, Thou King of Saints.’”’

The Courage of Conviction.
Truth of character is in the eyes of all the world a fundamental virtue, and the bond of all other virtues. And were we to ask not this or that indi- vidual, but humanity at large, how far the obligation to be true extends, how high it rises,—the answer would bea retusal to assign it any limit—The courage of conviction lies not only in resisting the influence of numbers, but in withstanding the authority of people who far surpass us in talent and ac- quirements. If this were not a thing possible, the universe would be given up to the mercy of genius ; whereas, it is essential to the cause of moral truth, right and justice, that conscientious convictions should be able to hold their ground against it. There must be some- where or other an evidence stronger than all the ppanthomsto which a powerful imagination, or powerful dia- lect, may give a false air of truth. Conscience must be fortified, so that the simplest and most ignorant may have a refuge from the tyranny of in tellect, and an impregnable position amidst the conquests of science. The internal primordial truths that form art of our nature must not be at the merey of a syllogism or a quotation.

A Word to Women.
There are many women who now fold their hands in dependence and re- ceive dole from grudging male relatives, who are quite capable of making their fortunes, who, left to their own in- stincts, would have done it long age Butit wasnot given them to do what they could. They timidly asked every- body’s advice, and everybody said “ab- surd.” Everybody always does say ‘absurd,’ when a new idea is suggest- ed. Before one has done anything all the world declares it impossible.
What is in you, you know, and you only obey the cry of your soul. You may discbey it, but if you do, you will never be happy. Your heart may say to you be a domestic woman—minister to others’ daily wants; and if it does, then do that, and you will be honored and respected, and your children, or those of some one else, will arise and call you blessed. For blessed indeed is the woman who can make good ginger bread, and whose coffee is always clear. But, if looking into your soul, you feel

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 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 CAPstcumM PorovUS 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.
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 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 a certain cure, ask your druggist for
YR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You ean hardly believe your own conyictions 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 free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin-

Itis some women’s mission to marry, and they always) know it wellenough. Ifit isnot yours: do not pretend that it is. So, if you want to paint, to sing, to write, mike sure you can, then “go ahead.”
As a rule, the individual fitness for a calling should decide the matter ; and by steadily insisting upon being al-, lowel to do that particular work in the world for which you know yourself to be fitted, and you wil! do more to give all women their “rights” than you could in any other way.
