Let Not the Heart Grow Selfish.

Touch us, oh Time ! with light hand as you pass, Tempt us to think it a loving caress ; read on our hearts, too, with reverent care— Crush not the flowers of life blooming there ; Farrow our foreheads with care if you will, jut let youth linger within our hearts still.

’Mid our dark tresses are fibres of gray

Silent reminders of life’s fleeting day ;

And when we tern to the shadowy past,

On its bright altars lay ashes and dust ;

All its fair idols are marked with decay

All its sweet pictures are faded away.

Sadly we look for the friends of the past— They of strong heart and the beautiful trust ; wl sleeping beneath sculptured

Some we find

stone ; Some toiling wearily onward alone ; Some thro’ ambition grown heartless and cold, But one and all, save the dead, growing old. Oft we grow weary in watching in vain O’er hopes that always but suadows remain , Weary of counting the joys that have died ; Weary of laying bright visions aside ; Weary of taking but dross for pure gold ; Weary, so weary, of hearts growing old.

Chase from us, Time, all shadowy fears;

Lift from our lives the slow burden of years, Shadow our foreheads and sprinkle our hair, But oh, shield our hearts from the furrows ot

care, Lot not the heart grow selfish or cold, And we shall no longer fear to grow old.

Usefulness of Autumn Leaves.

A correspondent of the Rural New Yorker speaks thus of the usefulness of autumn leaves :—

“T was outa few evenings ago fora drive, and I saw a young lady retrace her steps to gather a few autumn leaves —evidently she enjoyed their beauty! A little farther on, | saw a lady sweeping the ripe leaves out of her yard isto the street, to be lost. [I said to myself, “She cares neither for the beavty nor for the utility of autumn leaves.” Why is it that people keep up such destruction from the falling of the first ripe leaf until the trees are bare? We cannot afford sich nloss; for loss it is. Leaves should be carefully gathered, even those from the street. if they fall from the the trees belonging to us, in front of our homes.-- There is nothing nicer for covering ten- der plants that are to be lett in the ground, or to protect the lawn in winter. “J,eaves are Nature’s covering,” and they are far more slightly than much of the material used in their place to protect the garden from frost. All that are not needed to cover plants, can be piled in ao out-of-the-way corner, and covered with sods to keep them in pixee. Suds should be turned over the pile on washing-day, and the mass should, ocessionally Le stirred from the bottom. Leaves treated in this way, will decay gradually forming a rich mould that any florist will prize.

Pressed Autumn leaves, tastefully ar- ranged with dried ferns, are fine for dec- orating the house ; but in our admiration of the beautiful, let us not forget the useful,”

Wuear Cakes.—lf our readers would enjoy wheat cakes in perfection, we ad- vise them to follow the rule set down here, which rule has been faithfully | tested scores of times by our own house- hold and always with complete success. In the first place you must have some of the flour known as ‘“middlings” and which is most easily procured in the country where mills are found. Now, to a quart of flour add one teaspoonful of salt and enough sour milk to make a batter. When ready to bake, add one teaspoonful of soda disolved in warm water, and if this should thicken the bat- ter too much (as it sometimes does by effervescence), thin it with a little more milk, either sweet or sour. Then bake like griddle cakes, and, if we are not much mistaken, you will find your cakes lighter, tenderer, altogether more satis- factory than any wheat cakes you ever tried. But, we repeat it—ycu must have sour milk, really sour and “mid- dlings” instead of fine wheat flour. Old housekeepers all know what young ones may not know—that the best way of greasing a griddle is by means of a strip of salt pork, cut thick and fastened to a stick or fork.—Chrisiian Intelligencer.

CAPSICUM.

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 deen 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 CApPsicumM 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 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.

Physiciansin all ages havo 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, convinced of the wonderful cures 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, 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 eertain 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 other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient oo of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPst- 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, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
