JOHNNY'S SOLILOQUY. |

It seems to be father’s greatest Joy.

‘To tell what he did when pe, aes bey. e |

Nothing very wonderful, so fare 4 can see; |

And it scenes pretty rough on @ tellow like me, |

When I’ve worked like 2 man all the long | summer day—

And boys can get tired,

say — Ze

‘To have father declare in his evening chat, | | ' ; } }

I don’t care what they

“When 1 was a boy I did better than that. *

‘“] was bound out when I was.a boy,

Had never 4 a a book or a toy,

| earned my first suit when 1 was of age, | By working at odd hours for old Deacon Gage, 1 often went barefoot, had seldom a hat.

Of course | had extra clothes in. cold weather, But the clothes were not broadcloth,

Nor the boots patent leather.

Then he talks of this and that wonderful teat,

With little to wear and little to eat ;

How he never went to church or to school,

Just picked up his learning without guide or

pine ..‘*John to be sure, is easy to leare,

And always stands first at the close of the term,

But if I’d his chance at books in my day,

{ don’t think you'd have found me always at play.”

Now IL am just as willing as can be to work,

Nobody can call me a bit of a shirk;

| don’t ask for fine clothes, or for irequent play -days.

For | know fati.er’s money has plenty of ways;

But when I have done as well as | can,

They might treat me as though I'd some day

be a man. ('m so tired of the song father always has

sung, a “} did better than that when | was young.

The wisest of men is he who has the most complaisance for others.

A life of prayer is a life whose licanies are ever fresh acts of self- devoting love.

Money was a wise contrivance to place fools somewhat on a level with men of sense.

How miserable is the condition of those men who spend their time as ii it were given them, not lent!

A réal friend is one who will tell you of your faults and follies in prosperity and assist you with his hand and heart in adversity.

There is no burden that the Christian can have but the burden-bearer can en- able him to rise beneath it, and walk happily with God under it.

Nothing is so great an instance of ill- manners as flattery. If vou flatter all the company you please none ; if you only flatter one or two, you offend the rest.

Revenge commonly hurts both the offerer and sufferer; as we see in the foolish bee, which, in her anger, enve- nometh the flesh and loses her sting, and so lives on a drone ever after.

As all error is meanness, it is incum- bent on every man who consults his own dignity to retract as soon as he discovers it, without fearing any cen- sure so much as that of his own mind.

The character of a wise man consists in three things—to do himself what he tells others to do; to act on no occasion contrary to justice; and to bear with the weakness of those about him.

The world isa looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection ot his own face. Frown at it, and it willin turn look surly upon you ; laugh at itand with it and it isa jolly, kind companion.

The drug-store men are omniously getting down their bundles of porus plasters from the upper shelves. The man who came out in a duck suit Sun- day has ordered half a dozen already.

Make the bridge from the cradle to manhood as long as you can. Let your children be children as long ae they will, Let them be children and not little apes of men and women.

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 undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s CAPpstcumM Porous P!.ASTERS are acknowiedged 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 mére real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these 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 a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only o@ very recent date that its advan- tages 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 as rheunratism, pain 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 Rk. MELYIN’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 for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and r poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPsI- ouM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 fora n, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
