Beautiful Things.
A gentle voice, a heartful sigh, A modest blush, a speaking eye. A manner unaffected, free ; These things are beautiful to me.
A ready hand, a loving heart,
A sympathy that’s free from art, A real friend among the few ; These things are beautiful and true.
A mother’s prayer, an answer mild, An aged sire, a little child,
A happy home, a cheerful hearth ; hese things are beatiful on earth.
\ joyful song, a chorus sweet,
An earnest soul and willing feet,
A day of peace, a night of rest ; ‘These things are beautiful and blest.
\ sister's love a brother's care, A spotiess name, a jewel rare, o : . . A gentle tongue that will not lie ; These things are beautiful-—and why °
Because they are all born of love, And emanate from God above,
An earnest of the heavenly birth ; ‘These things are beautiful on earth.

Anecdotes of Sydney Smith.
Lord Houghton, in his Monographs Personal and Social, gives the tollow- ing, though he will not vouch for its authenticity. In his Lordship’s opin- ion, the anecdote is good enough to be true:
On being settled in his small living in Yorkshire, Sydney willingly assisted his neighbors in their clerical duties. On one oceasion of this kind he dined with the incumbent on the preceding Saturday, and the evening passed in hilarity, the squire, by name iceaiiaws being conspicious for his loud enjoy- ment of the stranger’s jokes. ‘1 am very glad that I bave amused you,’ wiid Mr. Sydney Smith, at parting, “but you must not laugh at my sermon to-morrow.’ I should hope I know the difference between here and at church,’ remarked the gentleman with sharp- ness. ‘L am not so sure of that,’ re- plied the visitor; ‘I'll bet you a guinea on it, said the squire. ‘Take you replied thedivine. Nextday the preacher ascended thestepsof the pulpitapparent- ly suffering from a severe cold, with his handkerchief to his face, and at once sneczed out the name Kershaw several times, in various intonations. This ingenious assumption of the readiness with which a man would recognise his own namo in sounds imperceptible to the cars of others proved accurate. The poor gentleman burst into a guffaw to the scandal of the congregation; and the minister after looking at him with stern reproach, proceeded with his discourse and won the bet.

Do Good.
The life of nearly every one is dark- ened at times by shadows, and the gloom thickens into the deepest black- ness when we yield to their influence. None are exempt from storm clouds or real or fancied troubles, no more than the heavens are not exempt from oc- sional coverings of murky folds, but as is able, and does, sooner or later, dispel every cloud that passes his pathway, so there is power in human nature to rise above any and all shadows that eross our lives. Men at all times bask in the golden light of cheerfulness or reign in the realm of happiness. Any man or woman may obtain this balm, for it is free for all, and of easy access to all. Kind reader, would you know what is the shield that is thus capable of warding away from vour life’s hap- piness every dart that is thrown against it! It is—do good. ‘The heart may at times be bowed with sorrow, and affiictions may at times severely try the elastieity of your spirits, but

The People Want Proof.
There is no medicine prescribed by physi eiaus, or soll by Druggists, that carries such evidence of its success and superior virtues as Boscurr’s German Syrvur for severe Coughs,
Colds settled on the breast, Consumption, or ———
. any disease of the Throat and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that any person afilicted, can xeta Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try its superior effect before buying the regular size at 75 cents. It has lately been introduced in this country from Germany, and its wonderfu. eures are astonishing everyone that use it. Three doses will relieve any case. Try it |
of ordinary plasters.
DR. MELVIN’S Capsiccm Ponovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and thet 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.
Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or Jess used a3 & 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 an 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. MeLvry’s CaAPsicuM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and
uick in its action, you can rely on its safety or the most delicate person to wear, as it ia free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient ~~ of its merits, and one plaster will soli hundreds to your friends.
Ask your druggist for DR. MRLVIN’s CAP3I- 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.
