THE FOUR SPANIARDS.

(¢ ‘ontinued. )

The pirates divided the money— about ten thousand dollars; and they then informed me that I must navigate the vessel to South America. They were all sailors, and the brig being ersily handled the task would not be} very difficult. But to think of heading for distant seas, with that sickening horror upon my heart! There were blood-stains upon the deck, in the fore castle—and how eould I remain in such a vessel? But no one knows what he ean do until suffering has taught him.

We were now becalmed, and with the full strength of the Gulf Stream were drifting northerly at the rate of four miles an hour. The ignorant pirates, whose operations hal never brought them much to the northward of Cuba, had no idea that the current was thus bearing us along, while it was upon this fact T built almost my only hope.

In high spirits at the suecess of their enterprise, they laughed over their gold, and were continually boast- ing of the murders they had commited. Bacalardo remarked that he had pro- hably sent more persons into eternity than any other man living ; and [ had little doubt of my being added to the list, whenever my services should no longer be required.

Three days were passed in this man- ner; andthe meantime I assured the Spaniards that it would be madness to proceed on the North American voyage without a further supply of water. I had, at a favorable opportunity, let out the contents of two casks in the hold. At the end of this time the wind sprang up, and it was decided to enter an inlet which I described as upon a_ wild portion of the southern coast with which they were thoroughly unacquant- ed, and there obtain the needed supply.

Though it was the month of August the weather now, fortunately for my purpose, became tempestuous, with squalls and heavy gales from the south und west. We were obliged to shorten sail, and sometimes to lay to; and all the while | managed to keep the brig in the Gulf Stream, so that even while lying with her head to the west- ward, she had a strong northerly drift. The pirates kept me almost all the time at the helm—I dared net let them sus- peet that this was the very thing I could have wished—and two or three times I wedged the compass so that it could not play. I was afraid that they would discover that we were making too much northing, and though their ignorance of the lay of the coast was a most hopeful circumstance in this con- nection, [ dared not wholly trust to it,

At last | ran out of the Gulf Stream, and just after I had taken an observa- ticn of the sun, which till then had not shown itself for several days, leaving me to be guided by gulf weed, and the waters temperature—the wind came out northeast, piping in right good earnest. My heart beat quickly for the; quadrant had shown me that my hour had come. I was in latitude thirty- six, ten, longitude seventy-four, eight.

Our water casks were almost empty, and the pirates who had all the time supposed that I was beating and bang- ing about to gain the southern inlet, were very glad when I told them we should reach the coast in about two hours. And I—you cannot imagine my sensations. Oh, if the wind should die out—if it should head us off~ morning should dawn and my plan be only half accomplished! Often had the villians drawn their knives across my throat, in signification of what would come should I play false; and now it was success or death.

Headed west-north-west, the little brig bounded along, and you may well believe that I watched every variation of the breeze, and the drawing of every sail, as I had never watched before, over and over I revolved my previous reckoning—yes, yesterday I struck out for the Gulf Stream; last night I head- ed thus; to-day I was sure of figures. It must be so—I have made no mie- take. Yet, how, if I cannot manage at last? <A single error, a shadow cf suspicion, and a knife will end all. Thus I mentally conversed with myself.

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- of so many different diseases has Deen caused by outward application as the present. It is an un uted 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. 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.

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 eures effected by Dr. Mrrtvin’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 baek, and all such ¢ as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and

ou want acertain cure, ask your druggist for yR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. Youcan 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 isa sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPst- 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.

On being interviewed the other day, he thus expressed himself: ‘T) view these diseases for the most part, as ex- ' pressions of internal disorder, as the out ward and visible sign of constitutional de-| fects ; such, for instance, as defective nutri- tion, one of the most fertile causes of disease known, especially in the case of, enildren. [I think good food, properly as- | similated of course, one of the most potent. safeguards against disease of all kinds, and | particularly of the skin.
