INTEMPERANCH.

Kind friends, I'm giad to meet you here ; I stand before you all,

A soldier who has served his time With old King Alcohal.

I've stood by him through thick and thin, Until they call me sot,

And when for him I sold my coat,

This was the coat I got.

I3fought for him, I bled for him, As through the streets I'd rave ; And when through him I lost my hat, This is the hat he gave. My boots were of the neatest fit, As fine as boots could be ; For him I[ gave away my boots, And then he booted me.

My eyes were of the deepest blue, Nor lustre did they lack ;

But now you see they both are red And one is also black !

My nose was never beautiful, But still was not amiss ;

Old Alcohol, he touched it up, And what dy’e think of this ?

Ife promised I should courage have For all the ills of life ;

The bravest thing he made me do Was beat my little wife.

He promised he would give me wit, And I should ne’er be sad,

Instead of which he took away The little sense I had.

The health and wealth he promised me He never, never gave ; But when he'd taken all I had, I found myself a slave. So now I'll fight for him no more, For woe is all his pay ; He’s cheated me and lied to me— I'll sign the pledge to-day !

A Breach of Promise Case.

BY MAX ADELER.

When the case of Butts versus Hub- ner was called in the court, the coun- sel for the prosecution arose and ex-

lained the facts to the jury ia the fol- owing terms:

“This, gentlemen, is a suit brought by Miss Hennah Butts against Daniel P. Hubner, for breach of promise of marriage. We will show you that Hubner is a retired sea-captain, having spent much of his life upon whaling voyages, and that some months ago he began to pay attentions to Hannah Butts, a maiden lady somewhat beyond the prime of life. Subsequently she accepted him, and they were engaged.

“Hubner used to come around to see her every evening, and it became a habit with him to go fast asleep on the sofa before the evening was half over But I will refer to this directly. From the first some of his methods of conver- sation were offensive. Ifshe purchased a new bonnet he would refer to itas a sky-scraper. Upon oneoccasion when she yawned, he told her that she'd be scuttled some day if she didn’t keep her hatchway shut. He expressed his disapproval of a sacque she wore, by saying he didn’t like the cut of he miz- zen rigging; and one day, when she dropped ber slipper, he picked it up, and running his eye along the sole, re- marked that a keel of that size ought to keep any craft steady.

“These things pained the plaintiff, ,

he thought him lacking in true affec- tion when, at one time, while she was lunching at his expense at a restaurant, he told ker that if she stowed her cargo so fast as that it might cant her and wreck her on the voyage home. Her fears of his growing coldness were heightened further by his remarking, one evening when she was singing a! thetic little ballad for him, that if! ever went to sea again he would! know where to get a fog-horn free of expense.

“That she is slender she is well aware but that cannot excuse the cruel obser- vation made by the defendant, that it wouldn’t pay to cut her up for blubber ; and I Jeave you to imagine her feelings, | who, having come into the house un-' expectedly, when she had her teeth out of her mouth, he suggested that if her, hull was as loosely put together as that, she had better go into dry dock for re- pairs. I willnot refer to this heartless conduct upon another occasion, when she had mislaid her teeth and could find them, and he advised her to send up a rocket as a signal of distress.

“I pass over these and other scan- dalous tnings. As I said, his custom was to spend much of each evening snoring upon the sofa, while she sat patiently by, strong in her love, and sewed while she waited for him to wakeup. He seemed todream regular- ly of his past adventures, for when he was not swearing at his sailors and using nautical phraseology of an appaif, ently profane nature, he would imagine himself at sea, in a boat pursuing whales.

“Miss Butts bore with his conduct good nataredly. She did not complain when he tried to row the sofa with the poker; she remained calm when he grasped the chair and dragged it upon the sofa under the evident impression that it was a man overboard; she en- dured him when he unrolled two spools of cotton with the belief that he was was paying out line ; and she controlled herseif when he pointed wildly, while he was asleep, to Mrs. McGlory, a vis-

that he could take half a ton of whale-

bone out of her.

But gentlemen, he carried his con- duct too far. One night while Miss Butts was sitting quietly by the table, the had occasion to blow her nose; perhaps she used more vigor than usual ; perhaps not. At any rate, the defend- ant, Hubner, rose dreaming, and shrieked, *There-re-re she blows!’ and grasping a closed umbrella, hurled it, harpoon fashion, toward her. It struck her, fractured her shell-comb, dishevel- ed her hair, caused her to drop her teeth again, and knocked her upon the floor.

“He awoke, and when she expressed her indignation he laughed. This made her more angry, and then he said, that as she evidently didn’t love him, he would break the engagement, and he did. She now sues him for $10,000 damages as a partial atonement for the wrong done to her wounded sensibilities.”

Then the case went on, and when the jury got it, they gave Miss Butts three cents damages. She is still single; but her bold mariner is mar- ried to a forbearing widow.

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 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. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM 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 plasiers are slow of action, and reguire 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

itor who had dropped in, and declared

Tt: EXAMINI

medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- in & porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELvVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLAsTerRs, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribo them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and aH 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 br. MBLYVIN’s CAPSICUM PoroUs PLASTER, You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and uick 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 eli hundreds to your friends. .

Ask your druggist for DR. MELvix’s Capat- cum Porovus 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, to any address in the United States or Canadas.

CATARRE.

Constitutional Catarrh CURES CATARRE,

Remedy

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.

,T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:— DEAR Sir—It is now two years since your ‘Constitutional Catarrh Remedy” was intro- }duced to me. Ihave waited this long to see ‘if the cure would remain permanent before do- jing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to be } rue.” I was afflicted in my head for years before I , Suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your | Circular I saw my case described in many par- |ticulars. The inward ‘drop’ from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits | were seriously affected. When your agent ‘came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured ‘three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- ‘lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of _ that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head. | A-sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- ‘some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truly, W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister. Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878.
