not wholly obliterated.

The trials that result from hard times}

re innumerable, and some of them are They bring inconvenience, annoyance, vexation. They cast a gloom over many a prospect which was bright « little time ago. But all the injurious effects of the hard times are small in comparison if they are not permitted to sour the temper and harden the heart. It is easy to be kind and considerate. as well as generous in seasons of prosperity.

But the true measure of a man cannot be taken under such cireumstances. Real greatness of soul is like the light of the glow-worm--it shines forth in the dark, tHe who, amid cankering eares, wears upon his countenance a sunay smile for his family and friends, and greets them with words of kindness, carries wherever he goes a brave and manly heart, which warms and cheers all around bim. A sweet temper in hard times strikes people with a pleasant surprise. So many per- sons are soured by them that he who is not attracts attention as an exceptional and agreeable character. One who inva- riably preserves a sweet temper amid the prolonged hard times, under which the country is now suffering, may be consid- ered as proof against all untoward ioflu- ences—a model family man !

Fragments of Time.

a yery severe.

In order to achieve some good work which you may have much 2: heart, you may not be able to secure an ent-re week, or an uninterrupted day. But try what you can make of the broken fragments of time. Clean up its golden dust—those leavings of the days and remnants of hours, which may soon sweep out into the waste of existence. And thus, if you be a miser of moments, if you be frugal, and hoard up odd moments and half hours, and unex- pected holidays—your gleanings may eke out a long and useful life, and you may die at least richerin experience than mul- titudes whose all is their own. That time which some men waste in superfluous slumber, and idle visits, and desultory ap- plication, were it all redeemed, would give them wealth of leasure, and enable them to execute undertakings for which they deem a less worried life than theirs essen- tial, When a person says “I have no time to pray, no time to read the Bible, no time to improve my mind, orto doa kind turn to a deighbor,” he may be saying what he thinks, but he should not think

what he says. — ne Father and Mother.

«« Pather” and “Mother,” these noble and darling names are consecrated by Scripture, and embalmed in our rich English store of poetry and of prose. And therefore every lover of the pathos and the power which they contain—every reverer of the associations which they en shrine, should become,as it were,a member of a great society for preserving them from the encroachments and inroads of those contemptible and trivial appellations which are more and more gaining ground upon these stately and tender words, and, by degrees, banishing them to books, exiles from the language of our homes. And is not the lightness of speech which obtains in our day, concerning the venerable re- lations of parent and child, partly the cause, and partly also the effect of those frivolous words which are now, even in the homes of the poor, gradually ousting the

_ graver diction of a less flippant age, and

taking the place of the beautiful names which combine in themselves both affection and reverence ?—two things which, in the most intimate relations of life, should never be divorced ; and yet this is done in the case of some of the names which, though sometimes expressing endearment, yet studiously avoid respect.

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 Se es ae 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 require to be worn continually to effeet 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 Jess used as @ medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- =a in ‘a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed 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, = 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 cure, ask your druggist for dR. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful éffects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate — 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 ——- of ita merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPSI- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on ae 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.
