"My Boy.”

A little crib in ‘‘ Mother's room; A little face with baby bloom ; A little head with curly hair ;

A little tub, a little chair ;

A little while for bumps and cries ; A httle while to make ‘* mud pies ;” A little doubting wonder, when A little pair of hands are clean ;

A little ball, a top to spin;

A little ‘‘ ulster” belted in ;

A little pair of pants, some string ; A little bit of everything ;

A little blustering, boisterous air ; A little spirit of ‘don’t care ;” A little tramping off to school ; A little shrug at woman's rule ;

A little odor of cigar ;

A little twilight taik with ma ; A littie earnest study—then

A little council grave again ;

A little talk about ‘‘ my girl ;”

A little soft moustache to twirl ; A little time of jealous fear ;

A little hope the way to clear ;

A little knowledge of the world ; A little self-conceit down hurled ; A little manly purpose new ;

A little woman, waiting, true ;

A little wedding gay, at eve ;

A little pang the home to leave ;

A little mother lone at dawn

A little sigh—‘*my boy” has gone!

THE WIDOW GRANT.

(Concluded. )

‘They are unique,’ said Miss Minnie, and straigntway the word ‘ unique’ was in the mouth of every one of the troop of followers. The widow was seriously in danger of becoming the fashion.

In the meantime Rath dropped: in to sce her whenever she came to town on errands for her household. The child-like woman and the womanly child grew to love each other very soon with no common lover.

The confidence grew stronger be- tween them, and soon Mrs. Grant felt as if she had known about the minister’s family all her life. Many were the visits that she made to Harry’s grave.

Often in the bright May afternoons she took a trifle of work and sat by the green mound, now purpling all over with spring violets.

‘ He shall be my soldier,’ she said to herself. ‘On Decoration Day I will come here with the loveliest flowers I can find in the early morning long be- fore the town is stirring.’

She kept her word. At dawn she stepped out into the rosy light, with a basket full of roses and pansies, verbe- nes and mignonettes. Through the silent streets she hurried, meeting no one, thinking only of the love and grief throbbing in the country’s heart for her dead sons.

The cemetery lay serene in the glow of anew day. Birds were flitting about here and there among the new gravel, and now and then a gush of music quivered through the air, A shaft from the rising sun shot athwart Harry’s grave as the lady approached it.

She smiled as she saw it.

‘It’ agood omen,’ she said—‘ A sym- bol of the ligbt in which the spirit dwells.’

Once by the grave, she sat down and began weaving her roses into a wreath for the young soldier. The pansies al- ready bound ina dainty boquet, were placed upon his breast.

Sitting there, twining the white blos- soms with the dewy leaves, she mur- mured a prayer—the Litany of Decor- ation Day :

‘God have mercy upon all mothers who weep to-day; give them the true blossoms of consolation, the lilies of peace, the roses of triumphant faith.’

‘Amen,’ said a deep solemn voice at her side.

She turned quickly, blushing searlet, and saw a tall, grave man standing near. His hands were full of flowers, and it was plain that he, too, had come to deco- rate the grave of a soldier boy.

The man and woman looked into each other’s face, and then moved by the same impulse, they clasped hands with a close, cordial pleasure.

‘You are the lady who has been so good to my little Ruth?’ said he.

‘You are Harry’s father ?’ said she.

It was a strange introduction ; but five minutes’ conversation there in the fresh dawn, by Harry’s peaceful grave, brought them nearer together than days of society intercourse would have done. It touched the weary aching heart of the father very deeply to see this sweet stranger bringing flowers to his soldier boy, and the widow was inxpressibly cheered in return by the sympathy and tenderness to which she had so long been a stranger.

Mr. Fredericks told Mrs. Grant that he should bring Ruth and Sally to town later to see theceremonies. Thereupon the invitation was accepted.

The baby wore her new cap, and looked for all the world like a meadow daisy. Mary Grant feli in love with Sally at first sight, and, after an hour's acquaintance, the little one followed her new friend round as if she had known

her all her life.

RE TP

affectionate looks and actions—now stroking her father’s cheek and kissing him, now leaning on her friend’s shoul- der with her arm around her neck.

The visit was the first of many. Un- der the new inspiration of loving and friendship, the minister’s sermons and the miliners bonnets prospered alike.

After a hard week’s work, it was & delicious rest to walk to the little coun- , try church and sit in the pew with Ruth | and Sally, listening to the gospel of faith and charity.

And so it fe!l out, that, by and by, they concluded that it would be wiser on the whole to make one family.

There was x milliner needed at Hunt's Corners. as well as a_ wife, mother and housekeeper; and Mary Grant undertook, with remarkable cheerfulness, this fourfold relation. The machinery of the household began running with great regularity and pre- cision from the day that the minister married the widow. The new wife made dainty bonnets and pretty trifles of lace; a new housekeeper ruled the kitchen, the minster worked in his study, and Ruth went to school.

‘It was my children who brought us together,’ said the minister, on next Decoratien Day, as the two stood among the graves with their offering of flowers. ° :

‘ Yes, little Saily’s Normandy cap| saved me from despair, and Harry’s grave brought us face to face.’

The Greatest Medical Discovery sines the Creation of Man, or sinee the Commencement of the Christian Era.

Thoro never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has Deen ‘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 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 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.

Physicians in 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 PLASTHRS, 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

ou want a certain eure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effeets, Although powerful and

uick in its action, you can rely on its safety or the most delicate ,pecnon to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in ths manufaeture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient oe

of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends. your druggist for Dr. MELVIX’s CAPSI-

cuM Porovs PLASTER, and take no other; or, on reeeipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, es mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
