PUT YOURSELF IN HIS PLACE

“]T cannot wait apy longer. 1 must have my money, and if you cannot pay it I must foreclose the mortgage and sell the piace,’’ said Mr. Merton, ee

“In that case,” said Mr. Bishop, “it will of course. be sold at a great sacrifice, and after all the struggles L have made, my family will again be homeless. it is hard. I only wish you had earned your money as hard as I do mine; you might then know something of the hard life of a poor maa. If you could only in imagi- nation put yourself in my place, I think you would have a little mercy on me.”

‘Tt is useless talking; I extended this one year, and I ean do so no longer,’ re- plied Mr. Merton, as he turned to his desk and continued writing.

Tbe poor man rose from his seat, and walked sadly out of Mr, Merton's office. His last hope was gone. He had just re- covered from a long illness which had swallowed up the means with which he had intended to make the last payment on his house. ‘True, Mr. Merton had waited one year when he had failed to meet the demand, owing to illness in his family, and he had felt very much obliged to him for doing so. ‘This year he had been laid up for seven months, during which time he could earn nothing, and all his eavings were then ueeded for the sup- port of his family, Again he tailed, and now he would again be homeless, and have to bezin the world anew. Had heaven forsaken him, and given him over to the tender mercies of the wicked ?

After he left the office, Mr. Merton could not drive away from his thoughts the remark to which the poor man in bis grief gave utterance, “eT wish you had to earn your money as I do mine.’’

In the midst of a row of figures, “ Put yourself in my place,’ intruded.

Once after it had crossed -his mind he laid down his pen, saying, ‘ Well, I think I should find 1t rather hard. I have a mind to drop in there this afternoon and see how it fares with the family ; that map has aroused my curiosity.”’

About five o’clock he put on a gray wig apd some old cast-off clothes and walked to the door. Mrs. Bishop, a pale, wearied- looking woman, opened it. The poor old man requested permission to enter and rest awhile, saying he was very tired with his long journey, for he hid walked many miles that day.

Mrs. Bishop cordially invited him in, and gave the best seat the room afforded ; she then began to make preparation for supper.

‘Vhe old gentleman watched her atten- tively. He saw there was no elasticity in her step, no hope in her movements,and pity tor her began to steal into his heart. When her husband entered, her features relaxed into a smile, and she forced a cheerfulness into her manner. The trav- eller noted it all, and he was forced to ad- mire this woman, who could assume a cheerfulness she did not feel for her huss, band’s sake. After the table was pre- pared, there was nothing on it but bread and butter and tea. ‘hey invited the stranger to eat with them, saying: “‘ We have not much to offer you, but a cup of tea will refresh you after a long journey.”

He accepted their liospitality, and as they discussed their frugal meal, led them, without seeming to do so, to talk of their affairs.

“JT bought this piece of land,” said Mr. Bishop, ‘‘at a very low price, and instead of waiting, as I ought to have done, until I saved the money to build, I borrowed a few hundred doliars. The in- terest on the money would not be near as much as the rent I was paying, and I would be saving something by it. I did not think there would be any difficulty in paying back the money ; but the first year my Wife and one of my children were ill, and the expense left me without the means to pay the debt. Mr.

Ph

Merton agreed to wait another yexr, if I would pay the interest, which I did. This year I was for seven mocths unable to work at my trade and earn anything, and, of course, when pay-day comes round—and that will be very soon—I shall be unable to mect the demand.’’

“But,” said the stranger, “will not Mr. Merton wait another year, if you make all the circumstances known to him?’

‘©No, sir,’ replied Mr. Bishop; “I saw him this morning, and he said he must have the money, and should be obliged to foreclose.”’

,‘ He must be very hard-hearted,”’ re. marked the traveller.

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 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 CApsicumM 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 plasiers 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.

Physicians in 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 of 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 diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and al! such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want aecertain cure, ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’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 delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and piber 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- CUM POROUS PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 fora + anon they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
