=- bmg a = - —— ~ — EDWARD BROWN, STOKER. CONTINUED,

‘Listen to me, doctor,’ I say. ‘ A score of times I might have given up and been drowned, but I made a fight for it sod was) saved. Now I mean to mike a fight for) it riyht here, for the suke of the wife and boirns. 1 don’t mean to die, doctor, with- | out a struzgle. 1 believe this here, that lite is given to us all as a treasure to keep. We might throw it away by our folly at any time; but there’s hundreds of times we might preserve it, and we never know when we cao save it till we try. Give’s a driuk of that water,’

Hig held the glass to my lips and I took a big draught, and went on, he seemed ail the time to be stopping to humor me iv my madness

- fhat’s better, doctor,’ I says. ‘ Now. look here, sir, speaking as ove that has sailed the seas, it’s a terrible stormy tim with me. There’s a lee shore close ut hand, the fires ure drowned out, and, uvless we can get up a bit of si, there's no ch ne: for me. Now, then, ductor, can you get up a bit of sail ?’

‘1 will go and send you sometl.ing that will quiet you,’ he said, rising.

‘Thankey, doctor,’ L sys, smiling to my-elf. ‘Aud now, look here. I'm not guing to give up till the last, and when that lust comes, and the ship’s going down, why, [ shall have atry if [ can’t swim to safety. If that fails, and I can really teel that it is to be, why, [ hope I shail go down into the great deep cilmly, like a hopefal mio, praying that Somebody above wid forgive me all I have doue amiss, aod stretch out His fatherly hand to my little ones.’

He went away and I dropped to sleep, worn out with my exertion.

Wieu I awoke, Polly was standing by the bedside watchiug me, with a bottle aud a gluss vo the table.

As soon as she saw my eyes open, she shook up the stuff and poured it intoa wine gluss.

‘[3 that what thedoctor sent?’ I[ says.

‘Yes, dear; you were to take it, direct- ly.’ ‘ Then I shan’t take it,’ T says. ‘ He’s give me up, aod the stuff's ouly to keep me quiet. Polly, you go asd mike me some beef.tea, und make it strong.’

She looked horrified, poor girl, and was about to beg me to take hold of the rotten lité-belt he’d sent me, wheu I held out my shaking hand for it, took the glass, a d let it tiit over—there was only about a couple of teaspoonfuis in it-—and the stuff tell of the carpet.

I saw the tears come in her eyes, but she suid nothing—ouly put dewn the glass, and ran out to make beef.tea.

The doctor dida’t come till late next day, aod | was lying very still and drowsy ha f sleeplike, bit | was awake enouzh to hear him whisper to Polly, ‘ Sioking fast ;'’ and L heard her give such a heart- broken sob that, as the next great wave came on the sea where I was floating, I struck out with all my might, and rose over it, and floated gently down the other side.

And it was a grim, hard fight; a dezen times I could have given it up, folded my arm<, and said good-by to the dear oli watchiog face safe on shore; but a look at that always cheered me, and [ fought on again aud again, til at lust the sea seemed to go down, and iu ut’er weariness, I turned on my buck to float restfully with the tide bearing shoreward, till . touched the sands, crept up tiem, and fel dows worn out, to sleep ia the sua —sufe !

That's a curious way of putting it, you may suy, but itseems natural to me to mix it up with the things of seugring life, and the muvner in which I have seen so many fizbt hard for their lives. Tt was jast like strivin. io the midst of a storm to me, and. when at last I fill into a deep sleep, I felt surprised-like to find myselfio my ovo bed, with Pully watching by me; vod who J siretched out my hand and touk aer-, she let loose that which she had kept hid. den from me before, and failing on her

kuees by my bedside, she sobbed for joy.

‘As much beefstea and brandy as you can get him to take,’ the doctor suys that afiernoon; and it wasn’t loag before I got trom slops to solids, aod then was sent, as I told you. isto the country to get strong, whiie the doctor got no eud of praise tor the cure he made.

I never-said a word though, even to Poliy, for he did his best; and | dont thins avy medicine would have cured me then.

I was Saying a little while b ck th t I.

HON. L. C. OWEN, “DANIEL DAVIES, Messrs. JENKINS & McLEOD,

Its Motto is *‘KocoNoMY AND SECURITY.”

Jan, 31, 1878--

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christisn Era. .

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many dilferent disesses has been caused by outward application 8s 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 Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by al. 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 tian a himdred of the ordinary kind. Ali other plasters are slow of action. and require to be worn continually to effect acure; but with hese it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant 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 less used as @ medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recejt date that its advan- tages ina porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced 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 rheumatisin, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have req: ired {ye use of plasters orliniment. After you hav@ tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you wantacertain cure, ask your druggist for

rR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety fo. the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and Biker poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for DR. MrLvrn’s CAPat- cum Porovws PLastTet, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they wiil be mailed, post paid, to auy address in the Unived States or Canadas.
