rO THE SONS OF TEMPERANCE. BY MRS. COSMOPOLITAN. Sons of Temperance raise your banner, Far o’er mountain, sea and land, Herald the glad tidings onward, Strong 1 ark and union stand. Save the wretched, human creatures, From a drunkard’s early grave, Save the weeping wives and mothers, And their hapless children save.
Brothers, here is work in plenty In our own far mountain home ;
Then let all be up and doing, Round the temperance standard come.
We have many in our numbers, Brothers, yes, and sisters, too, But we want more added to them,
For we all have work to do.
Look and see the drunkard daily, As he staggers to his door ; See his little ones in terror, With their garments soiled and tore.
See the weeping wite and mother, As she falls upon her knees, Clasping her white hands in anguish Hear her prayers,.behold her tears
Who would not then do his duty, Save the weeping, sutfering ones ;
Save the husband and the father, Make them happy, cheerful homes.
Oh, that Heaven may bless our order ; Make it like a guiding star ;
Then our hearts will beat with gladness, As it spreads its light afar.
ENGAGED.
There are so many types of the en- gaged girl that it is impossible to follow their numerous caprices. Sometimes the girl professes complete indifference to her intendant husband. be seen speaking to him. She openly laughs at sentiment, denies the exist- ence of true love. She sneers at noon light walks, and keeps her engaged ring loose in her work-basket. Yet her feel ings, such as they are, may be well
calculated to stand the test of time and |
matrimony. It is perhaps more pleasing to watch
the behaviour of the young girl who is}
delighted with her lover and her pros- pects. You are expected to congratu- late her, not as a matter of form, but as it were, spontaneously. You may see no great reason for congratulation. You may, in fact, disapprove of her choice; yet you must not say so, else she will think you hard-hearted and critical. She expects you to see through her eyes or not at all, and as she takes off her glove you know that she wishes you to admire a ring on her third finger, and ask her for the photograph of her swain to place opposite to hers in your album. As time goes on she settles down to a more prosaic view of things. If you are in her confidence she expects you tosit beside her and ask for biographical particulars concerning her intended, and to give her advice as to the man- agement of her future household. After @ time these topics cease to be touched, and she gradually becomes more like other people.

lt is related that during the Crimean campaign in 1855, a French officer un- dertook to chastise a Turkish private for disobedience, by slapping his face, hat the soldier threw off his coat and umeld the Frenchman so soundly that Ss cried for quarter, and that thereupon, the panting private bracing himself up, delivered this piece of advice, which 1s said to have made a marked impression on the spectators: ‘ Now Misther Par- ley Voo, the next time you strike a Turk, look out that he isn’t a Tipperary man.’ This story was told at the time to prove that the pugnacious sons of the Greek Isle are to be found in every camp where there is fighting done. If we are to believe a writer in Cork Ex- aminer, there is another proof furnish- ed in the person of Suleman Pasha, who tirns out to be one Patrick Sullivan from the County Cork. The writer gives a connected history of the youth- ful Celt, from his school days down to the time that he entered the Military Sehool at Constantinople. He also states that the gallant Patrick has been heard from since he went into active service urider the shadow of the Crescent. —— > <> are ——————
A Financier who seldom had any money but always had plenty of ingenuity, went into a restaurant and ealled for two roast chickens, one of which he ate, and then ealling the landlord, he said—‘ I’ve no money, and so | leave this chicken, which is mine, a material guarantee dinner. The landlord thereupon seized his hat and said—“ And [il keep your hat to coop the chicken in.”
A man who can govern himself and his wife and child, has got as far as the rule of three in the matrimonial arith- metic.
It was said of a great caluminator, and a frequenter of other persons tables,

Jan. 31, 1878—
The Greatest Medical Diseovery 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 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 r action, and require to be worn continually to . effect a cure; 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 & 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, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM PoROoUS PLASTSRS, 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 or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for DR. 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 free from lead and olen 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 CAPS8I- cum Porous 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, te any address in the United States or Canadas.
