fie Civil te Children,
There is not care enough taken on the part of many parents and teachers to be civil to children. Children are taught—or have been and aught to be —to be respectful to their parents and older people; but the converse obli- gation is not often enough insisted on or practised. There is no reason 1n this. If there be more in older persons to call forth respect, which may not always be true, there is also with them, or ought to be, more capacity for show- ing respect, more knowledge and judg- ment and practice in courtesy. They are thus looked upon with propriety by the children themselves as models in this particular. The pattern is ofter. a poor one. There are teachers in our schools who have yet much to learn in this matter. They will find themselves repaid, they may be sure, in many ways, apart from the public benefit, if they will be civil to their scholars, after the most genuine fashion, and with most scrupulous care.

Be Agreeable at Meals.
Every one can do something for social lite at the table. if one cannot talk, he can listen or ask questions and draw out others who can talk. Good listeners are as nececessary as good talkers. argue at the table; but tell pleasant stories, relate or read anecdotes, and look out for the good of all. Sometimes a single anecdote from a paper starts a con- versation that lasts during meal time. A family table should be bright and cheerful, sort of domestic altar, where everyone cast his or her offering, great or small, of pleasantness and peace ; where, for at least a brief space in the day, all annoyances are laid aside, all stormy tem- pers hushed and quarrels healed, every one being glad aad conteat to sit dowa at the sane board and eat the same bread and salt, making it, whether it wasa rich re- past or a dinner of herbs, equally a joy- ful sacramental meal.
<r The Evils of Poverty
The lessons taught through want are not alway ennobling, and there is a limit to poverty beyond which is dismay and utter dispair. Dickens, even after years and years of prosperity, could never bear to recall the frightful privations he eu- dured in boyhood, and shrank as if moi- tally hurt when any allusion was made to certain reminiscences of the past, of which extreme poverty was the ceatral figure. There were anniversaries and scenes which he could never recall with- out a shudder, and some passages in his life, which, to his dying day, brought a sad, painful look to his face. Constant deprivation makes of any life a curse, and forces many human beings to live mere automaton existences. They would, if they could, all of them, perhaps, escape the evil, but the weight is upon them, the millstone is about their necks and there is nothing left them but stoic in- difference. The blessings of savory food, sunny homes, books, pictures, the oppo:- tunities of doing good and making others happy, are not to be too slightly estim ated, and cruel is the cause that shuts all of them out. Life was not destined to disappoint every aspiration, but to enable it to expand, and any conditiva which smothers aspirations or blights the possi- bilities of one’s nature, is a terrible mis- fortune, should -be accepted as nothing less, and should be manfully combatted. In accepting poverty as a misfortune— yea, even as a curse—we acquire power to compass it, and better, for better 13 a life ot ceaseless combat than the sickening sense of continued deprivation. ‘The honest accumulation or acquiring of money is an inspiring and elevated em- ployment, and it is designed that all should participate in the general work which secures its blessings. The cant of those who assert that the possession of money isa curse, is to be passed by in contempt. It is only such when de- voted te unworthy ends, and none prove so much as then the need of money in early life, that advantages would broaden the soul may not be lost. Rush lights are good enough for those who want Lo better, but the world would bea far more beatiful place if astral lamps were every§ where—If for every man on earth there was a home and pleaty. It must be that
in ages to ceme, when the world |} =!
learned to appreciate the hopelessnes-
progress through want that the pove: , |
of the peeple will be lightened throu,o combined effort, and that all men think- ing best of themselves will lend a wise aid to those who must be set above, its control. It is a step far beyond us; so far that its realization is almost useless to predict; but it will come, for until the curse is lifted the childrea of men cannot pursue the course marked out ia its beginning. Therecan be no fulfilling ot the law of progress otherwise, for pov- erty—as Shelley tells us—sows that
‘inward stain, Foul self-contempt, waich drowns in sneers Youth’s startling smile, and makes it tears First like hot gall, then dry forever.”

The Greatest Medical Discovery sines 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 globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.
DR. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Ponovs 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; Sut with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physiciansin 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 CAaPpsicUM Porous PLASTEeRs, 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
ou want a certain cure, ask your druggist for
R. 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 soll 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 tor a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
