deepest, darkest caves of the earth; no! ,

palace door can shut it out, no drawer | is sO secret as to escape its presence ; | every breath of wind dashes it upon| the open eye, yet that eye is not blind- ed, because under the eyelid there is incessantly emptying itself a fountain | of the blandest fluid in nature, which | spread itself over the surface of the eve at every winking, and washes every atom of dust away. But this liquid, so mild and so well adapted to the eve itself, has some acridity, which, under certain circumstances, becomes so decided as to be scalding to the skin, and would rot away the eyelids were it not that along the edges of them are little oil manufactories, which spread over their surface a coating as imper- vious to the liquids necessary for keep- ing the eyeball washed clean as the, best varnish is impervious to water.

The breath which ieaves the lungs has been so perfectly divested of its life-giving properties, that to re breathe it. pnmixed with other air, the moment it escapes from the mouth, would cause immediate death by suffocation, while it it hovered a bout us a more or less destructive influence over health and life would be occasioned. But it is made of a nature so much lighter than the common air that the instant that it escapes ihe lips and nostrils it ascends to the higher regions above the breath- ing-point, there to be rectified, reno~ yaied and sent back again, replete with purity and life. How rapidly it ascends is beautifully exhibited every frosty morning.

Bat, fonl and deadly as the expired air is, nature, wisely economical ia all her works and ways, turns it to good account in its ontward passage through the organs of the voice, making of it the whispers of love, the soft words of alfeciion. the tender tones of human syropathy, the sweetest strains of ravishing music, the persuasive elo- quence of the finished orator.

If a well-made man be extended on the ground, his arms at right angles with the body, a circle, making the navel its center, will just take in the head, the finger-ends and the feet. The distance irom top to toe is precisely the same as that between the tips of the fingers when the arms are extended. The length of the body is just six times that of the foot, while the distance from the edge of the hair on the forehead to the end of your chin is one-tenth the length of the whole stature.

Of the sixty-two primary elements known in nature, only eighteen are found in the human body, and of these seven are metallic. Lron is found in the blood, phosphorus in the brain, limestone in the bile, lime in the bones, and dust and ashes in all! Not only these eighteen human elements, but the whole sixty-two of which the universe is made, have their essential basis in the four substances of oxygen, hydro- zon, nitrogen and carbon, representing the more familiar names of fire, water, saltpetre and charcoal. And such is man, the lord of earth !—a spark of fire, a drop of water, a grain of gunpowder, an atom of charcoal.

An American Dish.

An amusing story is told, of which it is averred that no less a personage than the late George Peabody, the cele- hrated American banker, was the hero. It appears that Mr. Peabody had in- vited three Englishmen to meet two Americans at dinner, and on this oe- casion, having received as a present ten ears of green corn, determined to renew the recollections of his youth, astonish his English, and please his American guests by having it served up in the well known American style. Accordingly, at the proper time, plates of butter and salt were placed before each guest, and the banker, with some- thing of an air of mystery, announced that he was now about to treat his guests to a well known and delicious American dish of food, cooked in the American manner. I¢ would be no novelty to his American guests, but the Englishmen must watch how it was disposed of by them, and follow their example and their manner of disposing of it. Then, at a signal, entered a stately butler bearing a large covered dish, which he deposited solemnly be- fore Mr. Peabody. In a moment more in obedience to the banker's nod he

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. MELYIN’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 mBre 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 applicd the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in 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; bus it is only of very recent date that its advan-

in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLasTsrs, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescri them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and baek, and a)) - such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and

u want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe i own convictions of its wonderful effects. though powerful and yng in its action, you can rely on its safety

or the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from r poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters, One trial is a sufficient tes of its merits, and one plaster will sell Pandrode to your friends. ' sk your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPS8I 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, te any address in the United States or Canadas.
