An Autumn Picture.

BY DORA READ GOODATE.

Sky deep, intense, and wondrous blue, With clouds that sail the heavens through ; And mountain slopes so broad and fair, With here and there, amongst the green,

A maple or an ash-tree seen

In glowing color, bright and rare. {

Green fields, where silvery ripples fade, With cattle resting in the shade ; Far mountains,touched with purpie haze That, like a veil of morning mist, ty gleams of golden sunlight kissed, Seems but a breath of by-gone days.

And clover which has bloomed anew Since shining scythes did cut it through, And cornfields with their harvest fair, And golden-rod upon the Inll, And purple astors blooming still, And sunlight melted into air. Scribner for November.

Golden Words on Marriage.

The Golden Age concludes an article updér the caption of “Why don’t they marry ?” as follows:

There is no question that oar costly style of living diminishes the number of marriages, and indirectly recruits the ranks of the vicious and depraved. So long as fashion demands a style of liv- ing which only a millionaire can really afford, and a young married couple must support an expensive establishment, or be excluded from the circle in which they moved before marriage, a bar is raised to matrimonial engagements which only the most courageous or the very un- scrupulous will have the hardihood to overstep. The opportunities and lures to a single life of easy indulgence and dis- sipation have a constantly increasing in- fluence over the young meu of our cities ; while a continually increasing number of young ladies are educated to a life of case, display and extravagance,- which only few young men can possibly sup- port them in, and be honest. So our fashions put a premium upon bachelorism and vice on one hand, and untold waste and wretchedness on the other. What is wanted more than anythiag in our society today is the courage on the part of young men and women to break away from the present thraldom aod set anew and nobler fashion of independence and econimy. A seore or two of examples of that heroism which. defies the foclish sentimeut aud custom of the time, and dares to be true to the noble instincts of the heart, - live simply and honestly in a smal! aad quiet way, would create a reform, if not a revolution. The question comes to every, young heart, which shall I sacri- fice, the instincts and affections of the heart, or the shows and shames of society ? Alas, that so many yield the former to the latter! For love is the religion of the young; and whoever suppresses it for the sake of ease or display, whoever sac- rifices it for fashion, commits a sacrilege for which nothing on earth can atone. Love is not a thing to be ashamed of or laughed at, but a sentiment to be cherish- ed and and gloried in; and at any sac- rifice it may require, is cheap so long as! it adds fuel to the precious flame which | purifies the heart, refines and ennobles the character and makes a manhood and a womanhood worth the saving and worth the name. Thinking.

Thinking is not dreaming. ‘The world is full of dreamers; a few men do most of its thinking. Thinking is masnutactur- ing. It is taking mental tools and ham- mering, and filling and mouldiog, until ideas have grown into full developed realities, of the brains, with dimensions and clearly marked outlines. The reas- on there are not more thinkers is because thinking is work; it wears away the tis- sue and muscle. [; is tiresome. It re- quires time and purpose.

Men can dream “while they sleep; to work they must be awake, Dreaming is tedring away the flood gates and allow. ing the flood to pour through. If any- thing remains it is only driftwood that miy chance to havg on the way. Minds fill. with driftwood beeause they are not thinkiog. ‘Thinking is measuring chareos,

weighing prinviples, watching the opera-|

tiom of law. It is a process of creeping upon things, and taking them by surpsise before they have time to get away.

A thinker is a hunter. -Hé must live alone, daily tare, aud often see his) gam ily before he hag time 10 shoot. He » ast have courage to faee~ehasms and dark places aad climb stecp mountains. He must love solitude on an outpost hidden in the rocks.

And here is the ieison this age is not profitable for good thinkers, It is ao age of company, of travel, of theatre going, of corporations and speculations. Men live in crowds. Communion with nature is shut out. There are nosparks because the flint. and steel are not in contact. Men are following the college dropes “penying’”’ through fife.

The Greatest Medical Discovery sinee the Creation of Man, or since the mencement 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 CAPsicuUM 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. Al) 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 ‘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. 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, far such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such eases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried-other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you wantaeertain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELYVIN’s Capsicum Porous PLASTER, You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Althougtlr powérfal 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 manufaéture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, ana one plaster will geli 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.
