Talent cannot arrive at its perfec- tion without health. A man without it may be a giant in intellect, but his deeds will be the deeds of a dwarf. On the contrary let him have a quick

thews, and sinews of a man, and he will set failure at defiance. A man has good reason to believe himself well of the lottery of life if he draws the prize of a healthy stomach without a mind rather than the prize of a fine intellect with a crazy stomach. For of the two, a weak mind ina herculean | frame is better than a great mind with au crazy constitution. A pound of; energy with an ounce of talent will | achieve greater results than a pound of talent with an ounce of energy.

It is in the family life that a man’s piety gets tested. Let the husband be eross and surly, giving a slap here and a cuff there, and see how out of sorts everything gets. The wife gets cold and unamiabletoo. The both are tuned on the one key. They vibrate in unison, giving tone for tone, rising in harmony or discord together. The children grow up as saucy and savage as young bears. The father becomes callous, peevish, hard—a kind of two- legged brute with clothes on. The wife bristles in self-defence. They de- volop an unnatural growth of sharp teeth, and the house is haunted by ugliness and domestic brawls.

A wife must know how to form her husband’s happiness by secking to know in what direction the secret of his com- fort lies; she must not cherish his weaknesses by working upon them— she must not rashly run counter to his prejudices. Her motto must be never to irritate. Mild, as well as stern men, are prone to this exaggeration of lan- guage; let not a woman be tempted ever to say anything sarcastic or vio- lent in retaliation. The bitterest-re- pentance must needs follow such indul- gence if she do so. Men frequently forget what they have themselves said, but seldom what is utteered by their wives. They are grateful too, for for- bearance in such cases, for, whilst as serting most loudly that they are right, they are often conscious of being wrong.

That man is rich who lives with- in his income; he has enough and to spare. Heisrich or poor acccording to bis limits and controls his desires ; and when he has sufficient fer his needs he should remember that all additions are a burden, that the temptations and perplexities incident to overgrown wealth more than counterbalance its seeming advantages. ‘The sage of old desired neither poverty nor riches. “Tell your master,” said a Roman gen- eral to the ambassador of the King of Persia, who came to bribe him with great wealth, and who found him wash- ing the vegetables that were to consti- tute his dinner, with his own hands, “tell your master that all the gold in Persia can never bribe the man who can contentedly live on_ turnips.” That is the real secret of happiness: be content with what you have.

Carry the radiance of your sun in your face ; let the world have the ben efit of it. Let your cheerfulness be felt for good, wherever you are, and let your smiles be scattered like sunbeams —‘‘on the just as well as tho unjust.” Such a disposition will yield you a rich reward, for its happy effects will come home to you in your moments of thought. Smiles are the higher and better responses of nature to the soul. Let the children have the benefit of them, those little ones who need the sunshine of the heart to educate them, and would find a level for their buoy- ant nature in the cheerful, loving faces of those who lead them. Let them not be kept from the middle-aged who need the encouragement they bring. Give your smiles also to the aged. They come to them like the quiet rain of summer, making fresh and verdant the long weary path of life. Be gen- tle and indulgent to all; loye the true, the beautiful, the just, the holy.

The boy who has nothing to do is the the most miserable of beings. Ifyou have no regular, work, do little jobs, as the farmers do, when it rains too hard ro work io the field. In occupation we may forget our trubles' - The boy whose mind and hands are busy,

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the mcement 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 aes 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 ono of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasiers are slow of 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 fee) 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-

we in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM
