a) Selected Story. How I Won tho Laird’s Daughter.

BX DANIEL GORRIE.

CHaApTer LI. (¢ ‘Yoneluded.)

We returned to the house undiscover- ed. The Laird, I knew was in that pleased and placid state when he could have listened for many hours to the Man in the Moon describing the incidents of his celestial travels and the wonders he bad seen from his specular tower. 1 parted with Jessie at the foot of the stair- case, pressed her soft white hand and re- entered the room whieh I had rather un- ceremoniously left. The minister had got upon the Pope, and all the symptoms of “tired nature’? were apparent on the faces of most of the listeners They had the look of a congregation when the thir- teenth “head” was being propounded with due deliberation trom the pulpit. The Laird had not seen me depart but he had seen me enter. He evidently placed in me the most implicit reliance, and there was no suspicion in his look.

“Hae ye been snuftin doctor ?”? he inquired.

[ answered in the affirmative with a look of perfect innocence, and thea the Laird added, apparently wishing to cut short the mivister’s harangue, ‘Ay, weel, let’s join the leddies noo.”

After that evening I was a frequent and welcome visiter at the Haugh. Prince Charlie soon knew the way to his own stall in the Laird’s stables. Some golden opportunities occured when the Laird was absent for interviews and con- versations withJessie. We plighted our mutual troth, and were devoted to each other heart and soul. The one grand difficulty in the way of our happiness was the removal of the Laird’s scruples with regard to the marriage of his daugh- ter. At last, when jogging leisurely home- ward to Oakbank one eveving, I hit upon a scheme which ultimately resulted in complete success, and gave me possession of the being I loved dearer than life.

A weulthy and winsome widow lady resided in the neizhborhood of St. Dun- stan, and the project entered my brain to make her believejthat Laird Ramsay had some notions of her,and also to make him believe that she had the warm side of her heart tohim. If i could only get the Laird to marry the widow, I know that Jessie would soon hereafter be mine. The Laird was open to flattery; he was fond of what Mr. Barlas called “butter; and I did not despair of being able to make him renew his youth. Tact was required in such a delicate under- taking, and I resolved to do my spiriting gently. I began with the Laird first one evening when he was in his mellow after- dioner state. I praised the graces and winsome ways of Mrs. Mackinlay, and drew from the Laird the coafession that

he thought her a “very gudeand sociable leddy.” I then tried a few dexterous yasses before hinting that she had a warm side to the Laird o’ the Haugh.

“Ye dinna meanto say that Mrs. Mac-! kinlay is castin’ a sheep’s e’e at me, do ye doctor ?”’

“T ean assure you Mr. Ramsay,” | rejoined, “that she speaks of you always with great respect, and seems to wonder why you do not honor her with a visit’ occasionally’”’

“Ay’ docter’ it’s queer what way I never thochto, that. She,sa_ sensible! leddy after a,’ Mrs Mackinlay. I think I) cauld do worse than look ower at her’ hoose some o, these days.”

“Tt’s the very thing you ought to do Mr. Ramsay,’ I replied ‘You will fiod | her company highly entertaining. She | hag an accumulated fuad of stories and | anecdotes.”

‘“Tfas she, doctor ?—has she? Weel | I'll gang; but what would Jessie say, | T wunner ?” |

I had now put the Laird on the right,

scent, and I tried my best also with Mrs. | Mackinlay.

I made her aware of the Laird’s intended visit, and hinted tender- | ly its probable object. After a lengthy conversation, in which I exercised all the iugenuity I possessed, I left her with the impression on my mind that Laird Ram- say’s addresses when he ealled would be met half-way. The meeting did take place—it was followed by another an: another—aud the upshot of the matte: was that the eccentric Laird and _ the wealthy widow were duly wedded, to the | astonishment of the whole

district. I allowed six months of their wedded bliss to slip past before I asked the Laird’s | consent to have Jessie removed from the) Haugh to Oakbank. A sortof dim sus- spicion of the whole affair seemed to cross the Laird’s mind whea I addressed him. A pawny twinkle lit up his eye as he re- plied, “ Ah, ye rogue!—tak her, an’ my blessin’ alang wi’ her. Ye ken whaur to look for a gude wife, an’ I daursay ye’ll no mak tke warst o’ gudemen.” Thus I won the Laird’s daughter, and the para-

, dise of Oakbaak, in the village of Si. Dun-

stan, was complete in happiness.

The Greatest Medical Discovery sinee

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 tha 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 pilasters 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 in a porous plaster have been discovered.

3eing, howeyer, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELvIN’s CApsicuM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over i all other plasters, they now actually prescribo —! them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and baek, 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 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 sall 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.
