? Autumn in the Woods. mentite Every hollow full ot terns, Turning yellow in their turns ; Straggling brambles fierce and wild, Yielding berries to the child ; Oakbalis tumbling from the tree Beech-nuts dropping silently; _ Hosts of leaves come down to die 3 Leaving openings to the sky ; Bluebells, foxgleve, gone to seed, Everything to death decreed ; Nothing left of flowers or buds ;

Such is Autumn in the woods.

And so there 1s an autumn known

%o the heart. It feels alone,

Fearing its best days are past ;

Sees the future overcast ;

Fond of acquaintance broken through, Friends departed, friends untrue ; Human flowers cold and dead, Covered by a grassy bed ;

Hopes, late blossoms putting out, Withering soon, and flung about

By eruel winds, dread doubts and fears Finding vent in sudden tears ;

Yes, there is an autumn known

To ‘some hearts thus left alone.

Yet, there’s this thought after all

Ferns may fade and ‘leaves may fall,

Hearts inay change or prove untrue,

All may look as these woods do--

Though sad autumn here is given,

Spring-time waits the just in heaven. _-Chambers’ Journal.

An Actor in the Times of Char- les II.

Joe Haines was an excellent comic- actor, a wit and a practical jester, whose society was sought by the best people of the time. He was a scholar, and had been educated at Oxford, and had been Latin secretary to Sir Joseph Williamson before he took to the stage. There are enough goo stories told of his impudent and misc! i vious disposition to fill a small volume, Once he served Hirt a cruel trick. The great tragedion rather ar- bitarily insisted upon his going on one night for a Senator in ‘Gatalive,’ although his position in the theatre, and his salary being 50 shillings a week, exempted him from such service. Joe resolved to be revenged ; he put ona scaramouch dress, a large ruff, huge whiskers, and a Merry

satisty us. And the Bishop thought best to do so— Temple Bar. <<a «o>

All he would have to do would be to summon the company to prayers every morning by ringing a bell and re- peating the formula, ‘Players, players, come to prayers !’ ‘But,’ he added there's a terrible man there named Hart, who will rush out and abuse you; but take no notice of him, he’s either mad or ao atheist.’ The next morning he introduced the clergyman behind the scenes, placed a bell in his hand, and disappeared to watch the joke The victim began ringing his bell and shouting in a very sonorous voice. ‘Players, players, come to prayers,’ and all the company gathered arouaod highly amused thioking be was insane, until Hart succeeded in obtaining an ex- planation.

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 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 nerre to be worn continually to effect acre; butwith these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in al] ages have thoronghly 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 ig only of very recent, date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Boing, however convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. Metvin’s CAPSICUM Porous PLasTeRs, and their superiority over : all other plasters, they now actually preseribe them,-in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such ¢ases 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 acertain cure, ask your druggist for i. Dr. Metvin’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 delieate ge to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial isa sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will s+li hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSI- ; . cum Porous PLasfer, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for ove, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
