ALittleBrown Dog) 1878. 1878.

He was a poor little fellow, errand boy in the large grocery of Rice, Cloves & Co, (1 don’t mean the brown dog, but Harry Jacklow), and he earned just two dollars a week.

Six eents of this went for car fure— he lived so far from the store that he was obliged to rideto and from it— and the rest to his mother, who, with that and the cight dollars a week she received from the cloak factory where she worked, supported herself, her children—Harry, twelve years of age, Kddie, seven, and Jennie, two- -nd Mr. Jacklow.

Mr. Jacklow was her husband, and the less said about him the better. PII merely state that he could sit in a rocking-chair and smoke and think longer than any man I ever knew.

But besides this two dollars a week, tlarry, who wasa bright eyed, willing, whistling, young chap, sometimes got a two or five cent piece, ormore rarely a dime from his employers’ customers when the grocers wagons being over loaded or the customers in a great hurry, be carried home their purchases for them. And it was this money he had been saving ever since the Ist of January, for the purpose of having a «ood time on the next holiday.

On Christmas day they had a real nice time at his house. His “ boss” had given him two dollars, and the super- intendent of the place where his mother worked had given her one, and some- body (they had never found out who) sent them a large turkey, and the dress- maker down stairs had put a box of tools in Eddie’s stocking—dear me! what am I saying ? she couldit have done that; I meant to say she had given Ned a box of tools, and Jennie a doll in the name of Santa Claus—and Harry had presented his mamma with a new coffee-pot, and his mamma _ presented him with a woollen comforter and a pair of woollen gloves, and Mr. Jack- low had bought himself a new pipe; and when Harry saw how happy they all were, he quickly made up his mind to give them a party on the very next holiday, which would be the Fourth of July.

[i was the 3rd of July that my story commences, and Harry had kept his resolution of saving every penny out- side of his wages. He had to pass many a heap of rosy apples without glancing at them, run away from many peanut stands, force himself not to look into the tempting windows of the candy stores, and go by on the other side when he knew himself near a well-known bakery to do so; but he had doneso, and now his reward was near.

The house in which he lived was an old-fashioned one in an up-town street. A quarter of a century ago it had been 2 small farm-house surroanded by meadows, but now it had a large tene- ment house on each side, and a whole row of brick buildings in front of it. But one splendid old oak tree still stood before the door--“ Bully to tack pin- | wheels on,” said Harry to himself, and there was any number of children around to ery “Ob!” and“ Ah!” as the fire-works went off. I have always noticed that when a boy is setting off fire-works, the more ah-ing and oh-ing there is, the brighter the fire-works look to that boy. Well, Harry had; laid out the supper in his mind as follows: ice cream, a whole quart, twelve cent sponge cake, five sticks of molasses candy, pitcher of lemonade, apple pie, half-pound of cheese and some baked potatoes — Mr. Jacklow liked baked potatoes. And he meant to get his mother and the rest of them out of the room (send them down to visit the dress-maker, who, at the last moment was to be let into the secret), set the table himself, and then, when all was ready call them up again. Wouldn't it be fun te look at their faces when they saw the ice cream,

and the sponge cake, and the molasses! eandy, and the lemonade, and the apple

pie, and the cheese and the baked pot- utoes! It would be almost as good as the circus. Harry had been there once, and had never forgotten how delight- ful it was,

And then after the supper |

the Oreation 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 2 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.

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, 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 as 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 DR. MELVIN’s CAPSiIcuM POROUS PLASTER. You ean 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 sufticient_ guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

sk your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSI- cumM Porows 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.
