Romantic Story of Two Orphans.

The New York correspondent of the Baltimore American writes: A little bit of a story of two orphans came to my knowledge the other day, which is almost equal in pathos to the story as told in the memorable play of that name. Some years ago a boy left his home in Bavaria and came to this country, where his success induced him, after a time, to send for his younger brother. ‘This left to the sole eare and protection of their parents two still younger girls, one possessed of remarkable beauty. The parents died: the girls were left alone with very small resources on which to de- pend for support. Of their brothers they had heard nothing for several years, but with natural instinct anid longing they turned to the thought ot them as their only comfort in their dis- tress and loneliness. Against the ad- vice of their pastor, they turned their effects into money and set out for the new world, quite sure that in it they would have no difficulty in finding their truant brothers. But it was not s> easy as they anticipated. Oa land- ing in New York they were appalled by the magnitude of the great city. ‘They did not know where to go. Their inquiries were met by laughter and rade repulse. Sickness overtook one of them, and the other, almost at the end of her small stock of money, frightened at the prospect of being left penniless, and ignorant of the character of the persons who professed an interest in her, accepted an invitation to sing in a concert saloon. On the very first night she was shocked by the scenes which transpired around her and the bold admiration her Leauty excited. The extreme plainness and modesty of her dress and demeanor, however, at- tracted the attention of two gentlemen, one of whom was engaged in showing a friend from the country the “lions,”’ and when an insolent fellow attempted a familiarity which she resented, he stepped to the rescue, and obtained from her, amid her heart-breaking sobs, the story of herself and sister, and the failure of their hopes. The truth of what she said was self-evident, and the young man, who was really honorable and kind-hearted, promptly took her away from the place in which she was, found her and her sister another respectable lodging, and inter- ested himself to procure them employ- ment. Shortly afterward, in company with a party of young men, he told his adventure, and was considerably surprised by the interest of one of them, who proved to be one of the long-lost brothers. Ot course their troubles were now all over, for this brother oc. cupies a high position in a large mer- cantile firm, and can well afford to take care of his sisters. Whether a romance will grow out of it remains to be seen. But there are four extremely happy people in New York, and a young man who feels that he has acted the part of a knight-errant in a manner quite worthy of the middle ages, and who{ will doubtless be a better man all his life for having allowed the best part of his nature to assert itself on that single

occasion. ;

Mr. Gladstone and the Coffee-House Movement.

Mr. Gladstone was present at the opening of a new coffee-tavern in Chelsea, England. The right hon. gen- tleman, in the course of a brief speech, said it was very desirable that coffee- taverns should come quietly into the world, lest it should be thought they aimed at some great revolution, or were found ina spirit of hostility to any class of interest. He felt they were not en- titled to speak with severity of those persons who frequented public-houses, because society at large did not dis- approve of strong liquors, and therefore it would not do to hold a too rigid doc- trine. Still enormous mischief was undeniably connected with the practice of frequenting public-houses, mischief which had become a national reproach. The object of these coffee-tuverns was that working men obtained recreation and good food in connection with the consumption of non-intoxicating liquor. These institutions had been thoroughly appreciated by working men, and the pecuniary returns had been most satis. factory. A remarkable economy at- tended the administration to the wants

Paupers in Great Britain.

The continued trade depression in! Great Britain is beginning to augment) the army of paupers. In Scotland the number of paupers steadily decreased from 132,927 in 1870 to 101,136 in 1577,

ma

;erease of 103,817.

but during last year there was an in- During the same years we have these facts for England and Wales :—lIn the first week of Janu- ury, 1870, the total number of paupers, exclusive of lunatics in asylums and of vagrants, was, in round numbers, 1,049,- 000. The list diminished tli 1878, when the total was 685,567 ; but on the ist of January, 1879, the numbers had risen to 741.748, or 56,178 over the corresponding figures of 1878 ; this was an increase of 8.2 per cent., or thrice the proportionate increase felt in Seot- land. A government return of the number of paupers in England and Wales on January Ist last, shows that during the year 1878, papaurism in the West Midland group, among the six vounties of which Stafford and War- wick rank, increased 25.5 per cent. The North Midland eounties, which are largely agricultural, increased +.6 percent. The North-Western contains the largest manufacturing population in the kingdom ; there the increase was 52.0 per cent. Yorkshire and the five northern counties increased 15.0, while the 12 Welsh counties Monmouthshire exhibit a rise of 4.2 per cent., the aver age rise for England and Wales being 12.3 per cent.

When to Speak Kind Words.

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approv- ing, cheering words while their ears can hear them and their hearts be thrilled by them. The things you mean to say when they are gone, say before they go. The flowers you send to their coffins, send them to brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them. If my friends have ala- baster boxes laid away, full of perfume of sympathy and affection, which they intend to break over my dead body, I would rather they would bring them out in my weary hours and open them, that I may be refreshed and cheered by them when I need them. I would rather have a bare coffin without a flower, and a flower without a eulogy, than a life without the sweetness of love and sympathy. Let us learn to anoint our friends beforehand for their burial. Post-mortem kindnesses do not cheer the burdened spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance backward over the weary days.

Men and Women.

Women in their nature are much more joyous than men, whether it be that their blood is more refined, their fibres more delicate animal spirits more light and volatile, or whether, as some have imagined there may not be a kind of sex in the very soul, we shall not pretend to determine. As vivacity is the gift ot woman, gravity of man, they should each of them, therefore, keep a watch upon the particular bias which nature has fixedin their minds, that it may not draw too much, and lead them outofthe paths of reason. This will certainly happen, if the one, in every word and action, affects the character of being brisk ané airy. Men should beware of being captivated by a kind of savage philosophy; woman of thoughtless gallantry. Where these precautions are not observed, the man often degenerates into a cynic, the woman into a coquette; man grows sullen and morose, the woman imper- tinent and fantastical. Taking these facts as a basis for our premises, we may conclude that men and women were male as counterparts to one another, that the pains and anxieties of the husband might be relieved by the sprightliness and good humor of the wife. When these are tempered, care and cheerfulness go hand in hand; and the family, like a ship that is duly trimmed, wants neither sail nor ballast. —Dr. Hail.

‘ eV FQ 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 Deen caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the glove resort to the use of ordmary 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 plasters are slow of action, and reguire to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant oue is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know ihe 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, convinced of the wonderful cures 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, _ in the side and baek, and all such eases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have fajled, and you want a certain eure, ask your druggist for

yn. 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 other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will aeli 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 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.

CATARRE.

Constitutional Catarrh © Remedy RES CATARRH,

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Remedy.

T. J. B. Harptne, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

Dear Sir—-It is now two years since your *‘Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. LIbhave waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the y effects seemed to me to be “‘too good to true,” I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In readingin your Circular I sew my case described in meny ticulers. Tue inward “drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, ard a choking sensz..ion often preventing me from lying long, I would “eel like smoth and be com to sit upin the bed. My h and spirits were sei ously affected, When your agent came vo Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles, Before I had used a quarter o the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured “of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head. A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
