or pistol shots yet broke the silence. But before he had walked another block some cannons boorned in the distance, and a peal of bells nearer by began ringing “Yankee Doodle” very merrily. Whist!- ing, and jingling the coins in his pockets in tune and time with the music of the bells, and wishing the stores where he 1ieant to buy the materials for his party

would open, he sauntered slowly along | until he reached the dog pound—a place!

where all stray dogs are taken in hot weather and kept a day or two, so that their owners may, if they choose, seek and reclaim them. If found to be friendless at the end of that time, the poor things are put in a large tank, pre-

prepared for that purpose, and drowned. ;

Harry heard the imprisoned dogs bark- ing and yelping ; and stoppiog a moment io listen to them witha pitying face—for, like all kind-hearted boys, he dearly joved animals—he saw, sitting upon the door-siep, a very pretty little girl. She wore a faded calico dress and blue check- ed gingam apron; the apron she held gathered up in her hand, as though it held something of value, and her head aod feet were bure. Her large eyes were of a soft brown. and her hair, of the same color, hung in straggling curls about her face, There wasn’t another creature,

of a milk-man on the next block, in sight, and Harry looked at her with surprise. At last be said, with a smile, ‘‘ 1 thought [ got up much earlier than I did.”

7 . . ; ‘]’ve been here all night,” said the |

child, in a sweet, patient voice.

“Here all night!” repeated Harry, with a long whistle. ‘Good gracious ! what'd you do that for?”

“’Qause | want to go io the very minute the door opens. My Prince’’— with «so0b—*‘ is in there.”

‘ Your doy ?”’ asked Harry.

“Yes. He's the dearest jittte browu dog in all the world, and I love him best of everything cept granny, aod [ love him just the same as her when she scolds, and my mamma brought him home one day just before she went to heaven, and lL’ve had him ever siace, and he’s the best dog that ever lived, and never did anything wrong in his life ‘cept once, when he stole a piece of boiled corn beef somebody’d set in the back arey to cool, and he wouldn't have done that ’cept he knew how hungry granny and me was,” and the tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Oh! I'msosoriy! Don’tery,’’ said Harry. “Here, take my handkerchief and wipe your eyes.”

“ They’ll kill him,’’ commenced the child again, “ if I can’t coax them to let him out, and { don’t want him to go to heaven that way, 17d rather we’d both go together; and he could run on in front, and then mamma ’d say, ‘ Why here’s Prince—-Nellie must be coming.’ ”

‘Are you sure he’s in there ?”’ asked

ILarry.

“Oh tyes. He was playing by our door yesterday afternoon, ’most night, and I was poking chips in the stove to make the kettle boil, and I head him calling like he was in some trouble, and I run out, and two awful men had him in a cart, and Jemmy O'Neil said they was going to take him to the pound. Sofrun after the cart without putting my hat on, and soon it went so fast that I coulda’s see it, and thea I asked everybody where the pound was. I ’membered the name by*thinking of a pound of brown sugar ; apd at last 1 got here, and it was shut up, and so I staid here all night: and do you think tkey’ll open it soon ?”

‘What are you going to do when they do open it?” asked Harry.

‘Go in and beg the dog man to give Prince back. He’s sucha little dog they won’t miss him.”’

‘* Bat he won’t give Priaove back unless you pay two dollars,’ said Harry.

« [haven't any meney—not a cent,” said the child; ‘but I’ve brought these,” rising and helding out her apran. wnich held a tiny china doll, a headi-- eat of the same material, a string of glass beads, two pink motto papers, and a round white shell. ‘“ ‘These were all given to me Christmas,” she said; ‘and I’ve kept them good, all ‘cept the cat, and her head’s in my pocket, and he can stick it on somehow, and the candies out of the mottoes—I ate oue and gave the other to granny—~and the man may have them a one if he will let poor Princey go,”

“Tm afraid he won’t take them,” said Harry, shaking his head.

“He, won’t? Oh, dear! what shall I lo?” cried the child. “My dear little dog! my dear, dear little dog!”

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 eaused by outward a 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 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 more real service than a 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 a3 a medical agent for an outward application; bus it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced 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 all such cases as have required the use of plcsters 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 CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You ean hardiy 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 masters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to"your Trends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. Metvrx’s CAPSI- cUM PoROUS PLASTER, 2nd 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.
