‘ But, Olive— ’

‘So you see I’m engaged, Mr. Bha- nix,’ said Miss Qiive, playfully, whil she whisked away a tear. ‘i’m en geged. You must marry some lady who isn't. Andl hope you'll be u happy as you deserve to be,’ she addec With a little tremor, springing up to adjust the curtain.

in vain he tried to bend her to hi: Wishes; she remained outwardly ficm &; the hearth-stone at her feet, till ai length he arrived at the unwelcome conviction that she had no liking tor him, or she would have listened to his pleadings. She had interposed the old gentleman merely as a sort of cushion to soften the blow of her rejection.

If he took a smiling leave, it was be- cause pride tugged at his facial muscles, for, to tell the truth, he had never been more disappointed and cagrined in his lite. Of what avail the stylish equi- page upon which he had plumed him-

self? Was it not bearing him on to the tomb? And why should he wish

to prolong this earthly pilgrimage ¢ What further attractions had life fo: him, a lonely old man nearing seventy ?

Hardly conscious of the reins, he had d:iven some miles at an unsanctified

ace, when he almost ran over Mi. Cascme brother of the deceaxed Lucin- da, who was walking behind his ear- riage up a long ascent.

‘Going to Conference?’ asked that gentleman, sfter an exchange of greet- ing. ‘Didn't you come a roundabout way ?’

‘I'm inclined to think I did,’ assent- ed the deacon, with a prodigious show of vandor. ‘A roundabout way and 4 hard way. Is your wife with you ?’

‘Yo2s, and the widow Vance. to foot it up hill, you see. Horse step- ped on a rolling stone back a piece aud iamed himself.’

‘Your, load is too heavy; let Sister Torrey ride with me.’

But Sister Torrey being nervous, like Lucinda before her, and mortally atraid of the deacon’s spirited steed, it was in the end Mrs. Vance who nestled into the vacant seat. She wasa gushing young widow whose mitigated grief manifested itself in certain coquettish bows of pale lavender. She protested that she felt already acquainted with Mr. Phoenix through her late husband, to whom he had been so kind. She was so glad of this opportunity to thank him. She should never cease to be grateful for the many favors he had conferred upon her dear Charles, ete.

In the morning the worthy deacon would have smiled inwardly at this effusive panegyric. This afternoon he hugged it like a poultice to his acheing heart. It soothed his wounded selt- love, and inclined him toward his fair eulogist, to whom he recounted plea- sant anecdotes of her husban’s boyhood. Indeed, he made himself so agreeable that she was rather sorry to reach Churchville, where the whole party were cordially welcomed at the house of Mr. Zanas. Torrey.

A proud man was Mr. Pheonix. He would not for the world have had bis receut disappointment suspected by his wife’s relatives, and during those three days of Conference he carried himself With a resolute cheerfulness that some- times—out of meeting, of course— verged upon frankness. Mrs. Vance told Mrs. Zanas Torry that he was just et. which complimented Mrs.

orry repeated to him with a signifi- cant smile, hinting that if he thought of marrying again, he need not search far for a wife. He looked confused, and hotly disclaimed any matrimonial intention. As to the young widow, was he not double herage ? Would June join hands with December ?

Alas! what an insignificant trifle can turn thescale of human destiny! But for a herse’s right fore-foot Deacon Phenix might have returned to his home on the morrow as he had left it— a free man. It was the lame horse that kicked the beam and decided his fate. On Friday morning, that med- dling quadreped having been found

ed trom his buggy that evening with weariness of limb and limpness of linen, his countenance Jed Mrs. Dubbs to fear the meetings had not been pro- ‘itable.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since tho 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 ef ordinary plasters.

Dr, MELVIN’s CApsicumM Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, te 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 acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant 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 ina 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, pain in the side and back, and all such cases ob have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and

uick in its action, you can rely on its safety

‘or the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manutacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster wil] e°) 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.

than ever, the deacon could do no less than offer to escort Mrs. Vance home. | She could do no less than to accept the’ offer gladly. By some mysterious law | of sequences, this led to a second offer | and a second acceptance, and almost) before he knew it Deacon Phenix had | pledged himself to escort the widow for life. When, after gallantly deposit-. ing his promised bride at her own door, |! he was alone with his thoughts, he felt. a little surprised at his own precipi- tancy; but he told himself over and over again what a fortunate man he was, how happy he ought to be. Con-, trary to his usual custom, he had acted from impulse, and the result was high- ly satisfactory. “Highly satisfactory,” he repeated to himself as he passed the | entrance of the cross-road which led to Miss Olive’s. Somehow his reflections were less cheerful after tnat. Perhaps the chilly rain-storm just setting in de | pressed him, or perhapsit was the empty hearse that he met face to free

CATARRIEZ.

Constitutional ~ Gatarrh Remedy CURES CATARRE.

| Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.

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

Dear Sir—It is now two years since your ‘“‘Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to be true.”

I was afflicted in my head for years before 1 suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your ! Circular I saw my case described in many par 'ticulars. The inward ‘drop’ from the head

had become very disagreeable, and a choking ; sensation often preventing me from lying long, ! I would feel like smothering and be compelled ‘to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits ‘were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured ithree bottles. Before I had used a quarter of i 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 louch- some disease, Catarrh, onan 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. | Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878.
