PUT YOURSELF IN HIS PLACKH,

(cON LUDED.) ’

“Not necessai 'y so,’’ replied MM , Bishop. “ These rich men know nothing of the struggles of the poor. — hey are] men, just like the rest of mankind, and | am sure, if they had but the faintest idea | of what the poot =o" pass throngh, their hearts and | ypen. - know it has passe se. 5 srerb ‘When a poor man needs assistance, ie, ous apply to the poor.’ The reason 1s ODVI- ous. Only the poor know the curse of poverty. ‘I'hey know how heavily it falls crushing the heart of man, and (to use my favorite expression) they can at once) put themselves in the unfortunate one’s position, and appreciate difficulties, and are therefore always ready to render as-) sistance, so far as they are able. If Mr. Merton had the Jeast idea what I and my family had to pass through, I think he would be willing to wait several years for his money rather than distress as.

With what emotion the stranger lis. tened may be imagined. A new world was being opened to him. Ile was pass- ing through an experience that had never been his before. Shortly after the con- clusion of the meal he arose to rake his leave, thanking Mr. and Mrs. Bishop tor their kind hospitality. They invited him to stay all night, telling him he was wel- come to what they had.

He thanked them and said, “I will trespass on your kindness no longer. 1 think I can reach the next village before dark, and be so much farther on my jour- ney.”

Mr. Merton did not sleep much that night ; he lay awake thinking. He had received a new revelation. The peor had always been associated in his mind with stupidicy and ignorance, and the first poor family he had visited he had found far in| advance in intelligent sympathy and real politeness, of the exquisite and fashion able butterflies of the day.

The next day a boy called at the cot- tage, and left a package in large blue envelope, addressed to Mr. Bishop.

Mrs. Bishop was very much alarmed when she took it, for large, blue envelopes were associated with law and lawyers, and she thought that it boded no good. She put it away until her husband came home from his work, when she handed it to him.

He opened it in silence, read its] contents, and said fervently, “ Thank ileayen! ”’

‘What is it, John ?”’ inquired his anx- ious wife.

“Good news, wife,” repiied Johu; such news as I never hoped for or even dreamed of.”

“What is it—what is it?’’ Tell me quick—I want to hear if it’s anything good.”

“Mr. Merton has concelled the mort- gage—released me from debt, interest and principal--and says any time | need fur- ther assistance, if I let him know, | shall have it.”’

“Tam so glad! It puts new life into me,” said the now happy wife. ‘But what can have come over Mr. Merton ?”

“T do not know. It seems strange after the way he talked to me yesterday morning. 1 will go right over to Mr. Merton’s and tell him how happy he has made us.’’

He found Mr. Merton in, and expres sed his gratitude in glowing terms.

“What could have induced you,” he asked, “to show us so much kindness ?”

“JT followed your suggestion,’ replied Mr. Merton, “and put myself in your place. I expect it will surprise you very much to learn that the strange traveller to whom you showed so much kindness yesterday, was myself.’

“Indeed !"? exclaimed Mr. Bishop, *‘can that be true? How did you disguise yourself so well ?”

“JT was not so much disguised after all, but you could not very readily asso- ciate Mr. Merton the lawyer with a poor wayfaring man—ha! ha! ha!” laughed Mr. Merton.

“Well, it is a good joke,” said Mr. Bishop, ‘good in more senses than one. It has terminated very pleasantly for me.”

“J was surprised,’ said Mr. Merton,

“at the broad and liberal views you ex~ pressed of men and their actions gener- ally. 1 supposed I had greatly the ad- vantage over you in means and cducation, yet how cramped and narrow-minded have been my views beside yours! That wife of yours is an estimable woman, and that boy of yours will be an honor to any man. I tell you, Bishop,” said the law- yer, becoming animated, “you are rich— rich beyond what money could make you; you have treasures that gold will not buy. | I tell you, you owe me nothanks. Some- how 1 seemed to have lived years since yes- terday morning. What I have learned at your house is worth more than you owe me,

The Greatest Medical Diseovery 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 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 Porovs 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 applicd the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thorongbhly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or Jess 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, convineed 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 plasters or liaiment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want acertain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. 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 seli 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, te any address in the United States or Canadas,
